Cosset You Forever novel Chapter 1289

Biting her lips tightly, Sophia had no choice but to accept it. "I hope my father is in one piece after he's released!"

"Of course!"

Sophia hung up the phone and went back to her bedroom, holding the phone in a daze.

When it was nearly noon, she poured the soup she made into an insulated tumbler and dialed Wade's number. She greeted politely, "Mr. Ji, how are you?"

"Mrs... Miss Lo, how are you?" Wade caught himself when he remembered that Sophia wasn't Mrs. Li anymore.

"Mr. Ji, are you in A Country now?"

"Yes, I am. What's the matter?"

"I want to ask you for a favor."

Wade glanced at his boss, who was approaching him and nodded. "Well, what is it?"

"I made some soup. Could you... Bring it to Colin?" Sophia asked awkwardly.

Her request made Wade uncomfortable. He glanced at Colin, who was staring at him intently. "I'll try."

Wade's response puzzled Colin.

Sophia excitedly thanked him, "Oh, thank you, thank you! I'll bring it to you right now. Where shall I meet you?"

"Let's meet at fountain by the office."

"Alright, I'll go there right away. I should be there in 10 minutes."

"Okay, goodbye." Colin's sharp gaze made Wade's scalp tingle.

Putting away his phone, he said respectfully, "Mr. Li."

"Who was that?"

"Well... A takeout restaurant. They're launching a new soup and they wanted me to ask you if you're interested in trying it." Wade knew better than anyone that he could never speak about Sophia in Colin's presence.

He had no choice but to lie.

Colin felt an inexplicable disappointment rising in his heart. He said coldly, "I'm not interested. Join me in the conference room for the video conference."

"But..." He had to met Sophia in 10 minutes. A video conference usually lasted at least an hour.

Colin shot him a dry look. "Any problem?"

"No, sir!" Wade promptly followed, sending a message to the receptionist at the front desk.

10 Minutes Later.

Instead of Wade, Sophia saw the receptionist from the front desk walking towards her, with obvious contempt on her face.

"Miss Lo, Mr. Ji asked me to come here."

"I see. Please give this to him, thank you!" Sophia didn't comment on her obvious distaste. She knew why the receptionist was behaving this way. Her reputation had completely been ruined.

The receptionist took the tumbler that she handed over and left the fountain without a word.

Watching her enter the office, Sophia breathed a sigh of relief before heading for the subway.

When Colin returned to the office, Wade brought his lunch, along with an insulated tumbler.

He shot Wade a puzzled look. "What's this?"

Something flashed in Wade's eyes. He hesitated to tell Colin the truth. "It's the new soup."
