This wasn't a good sign. After hanging up the call, Flynn immediately asked the assistant to come in through the inside door. The assistant came in very quickly and respectfully said, "Mr. Fan."
"Go investigate the relationship between Colin and Sophia!" Flynn blurted out.
The assistant, though quite confused, nodded and said, "Okay. Mr. Fan!"
After the assistant left, Flynn played with the lighter in his hand and was lost in thought.
It was June's birthday and she had asked Sophia to attend her birthday party. With the intention of attending the party, Sophia had packed up her stuff and left work early.
She went to the mall and bought a gift for June. While she was buying her gift, Sophia realized that Dorothy, as Patrick's sister, would also be at June's birthday party.
After thinking for a while, she took out her phone and called someone. "I've seen that you were selling a popular lipstick. Do you still have that in stock?"
She was talking to a punk she had met in Milan. She had inadvertently saved his life, so they exchanged WeChat accounts and added each other as friends. She could always see what he was selling through his Moments.
However, what he was selling was... dirty.
"Yes, Sophia. Do you want to buy it?"
"Yes. I want to buy one lipstick."
"Okay. Let me know where you are. I can get it over to you right now."
Sophia told him where she was and then hung up. She sat in her car and waited for him to arrive.
Within half an hour, he came and gave the lipstick to her. The packing was pretty.
"Thank you. How much is it? I can transfer the money to you through WeChat."
Claude Zhang, with yellow hair, hastily shook his head and said, "No, Sophia. Don't mention it. Take this as my gift to you."
Sophia had saved his life, so he didn't want to charge her for the lipstick. Then he said, "Sophia, don't open this package. You'll be influenced even if you just smell it."
"Okay. I get it." Sophia still transferred money to Claude's account and said, "You should accept the money and buy some delicious food for your grandma."
Sophia and Claude had talked to each other on several occasions after they had become friends on WeChat. That is why Sophia knew that he was poor and had to take care of his sick grandma.
Hearing her words, Claude didn't decline her money.
When Claude saw the amount transferred, his eyes opened wide. "Sophia, you've transferred too much money. Half of the amount is enough," he said.
"It doesn't matter. You can buy some gifts for your grandma from me."
"How could I do this..." Claude was embarrassed.
"My pleasure. I have other things to do, Claude, so I have to rush now. I'll talk to you later. Thank you and goodbye!" Sophia walked back inside her car in high heels.
"Okay... Sophia, let me take you out for dinner another time," said Claude.
"Sure! Bye for now," Sophia said driving off in the direction of Patrick's villa.
It had taken Claude quite some time to give her the lipstick. So when Sophia arrived at the villa, almost all the guests had already arrived.
The villa had been decorated in blue and white by Patrick. On the back wall, there was a photo of Patrick and June. They looked quite happy.
Beside the photo, there was a balloon that read "36 Years Old". Several other balloons with "Happy Birthday" on them surrounded the photo. A long table covered in white brocade had been placed in the middle. A big three-tier blue and white birthday cake was on the table.
