"No. You can sleep, " said Colin. "I'll help you dry it."
She was sober. "Can you do that?"
"I've done it before!" He had even blow-dried her hair once. He learned it quickly!
However, Sophia was falling asleep pretty fast. She thought Colin was referring someone else. "For whom?"
"What who?"
"Who did you dry?" Sophia shuddered because she felt as if she were falling, and woke up. She looked up at Colin.
His hair was not long and didn't need to be dried.
"Guess!" Colin tickled her.
"Leila!" It must be her!
"Well, you'd better not guess." He felt depressed at her answer.
Sophia was slightly unhappy. "I just hit the nail on the head!"
"Nonsense! It was of course for you!" Hearing his reminder, Sophia remembered that time when she was asleep...
She blushed in embarrassment. "Well, I forgive you!"
Colin broke into laughter.
Sophia was a bit sober now. She felt his careful movements until her hair was completely dried up.
He got into the bed, holding Sophia in his arms. "Sophia..."
Colin planned to say something but suddenly changed his idea. He didn't want to ruin the beautiful moment.
"Hmm?" Sophia gently fondled his stubbled chin.
"Nothing." Colin tightened his arms.
Sophia's smile faded. "Colin, is it possible to apply to the company for a transfer to another place?"
She was in A Country now, nothing crazy busy going on there. There were her father, grandma, Aaron and the nurse in A Country.
"Do you want to transfer to the company here?" Colin rested his chin on her head.
"Yes. If possible. I want to do this by going through regular procedure." She didn't want to solicit Colin's help on this matter, lest someone should stir up more gossips and drag Colin into this.
"It's okay. What do you want to do here?" The normal process wasn't so complicated. Sophia could handle it well.
Sophia embraced his waist, listening to his heartbeat. "I want to be with you."
She used to be afraid of him but now he had won her heart.
Colin smiled, "OK. I'll inform my secretaries on both sides tomorrow."
"Thank you, my dear." Sophia smiled sweetly.
Colin pinched her face. "You thanked me again. Soapy, how should I punish you?"
Sophia immediately crawled around the bed, covering her head with the quilt. "Oh no! Sorry!"
Her breath attracted him. Colin's eyes grew darker. He held her shaking head.
Sophia stopped right away.
After a while, Sophia's action made Colin close his eyes and open them again. He said hoarsely, "Sophia, get out!"
Sophia chuckled. She didn't listen to him...
During the night, they began to make love.
Colin didn't want to ruin the beautiful moment but trouble always come uninvited when people are least expecting it.
In D City.
