Her Life Starts to Spin out of Control novel Chapter 17

Jamie never took Sophia seriously. Sophia was so ordinary to her, no background, no power, no strength... However, her behavior had embarrassed Jamie.

Jamie sneered, "Sophia Lo, I intended not to make it too embarrassing for you, but you started it first, so don't blame me for being unkind. It is said that you slept with Lien's Deputy CEO, but you still failed to get their contract. How cheap are you, Sophia Lo?"

Jamie's words reminded Sophia that Payne had almost raped her that night. Her face turned pale in disgust.

But Jamie thought Sophia looked guilty. Feeling even more confident, she continued, "So Mr. Li was your first target, and then you aimed for Lien's Deputy CEO, and now Mr. Huo. Sophia Lo, you certainly know where to look."

"You are so disgusting." Sophia rolled her eyes and ignored Jamie. She decided not to talk to Jamie, and went back to her seat and started to work.

Though she didn't want to make trouble, trouble came to her. Jamie followed Sophia. "Miss Lo, who were you talking about?"

Sophia ignored her, opened the tender, took a pen, and began studying the document.

However, in the next moment, the pen was taken away and thrown directly into the trash can.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you ignore me? Sophia Lo, Mr. Li is about to kick you out of the company. What are you proud of?"

Sophia was irritated now. Since the Chief Secretary, Wade Chi was not in, Sophia decided to put an end to this drama. She grabbed Jamie's wrist and pulled her out of the room.

"Sophia Lo! What are you doing? Let go of me!" Jamie was wearing very high-heeled shoes and almost tumbled to the floor. Fortunately, Kyle Ker, the male secretary, helped her before she fell.

Colin was trying to convince Herring to work from the temporary office he had prepared when they heard a knock on the door.

"Come in."

The door flew open, and a woman came stumbling into the room. Jamie fell to the carpet with a shriek.

"Oops, my little beauty, does it hurt?" Herring was always keen on helping pretty women. He offered his hand to Jamie. When he saw Sophia behind her, Herring withdrew his hand.

Sophia went around to Colin's desk, and sighed, "Mr. Li, Miss Chiao wants to have sex with you. How about you grant her with that wish?"

......

Colin was livid at Sophia's request. Herring burst into laughter.

Jamie was dumbfounded. She reacted with a shriek. "Sophia Lo! How dare you insult me like that? Do you think everyone is a slut like you?"

Slut? Sophia took a deep breath, and looked at Colin, "Mr. Li, do you take into consideration only a person's outward appearance when you are recruiting? It seems that Miss Jamie Chiao is full of dirty thoughts, and Mr. Li still has an appetite for her."

Now that was a blatant provocation.

Colin looked at her up and down, "Take a look at yourself. How true is your accusation?"

He only meant to say that Sophia dressed too plain, nothing more.

However Sophia misunderstood. She knew she was fat before. Although she had lost dozens of pounds now, she was not among the thinnest. Perhaps Colin saw her the way Jamie did; fat and ugly and full of impractical thoughts.

She lowered her head to hide the hurt she felt and apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Li. I shouldn't have said that. However Miss. Chiao and I are not of the same character. We do not get along. Please remove me from the secretary's office."

She had no power nor strength, and Colin was unwilling to let her rely on him. Now her fellow secretary was bullying her, and would not be punished.

What good would it do if she stayed in the secretary's office?

Jamie quickly went to Colin's side, "Yes, Mr. Li. Miss Lo and I have very different personalities. We can't work together."

Sophia would need to be demoted to be removed from the secretary's office. Jamie would have liked to see that.

Colin didn't miss the emotion in Sophia's eyes. He pushed Jamie away, went to Sophia and lifted her chin so that she would only look into his eyes.
