Drinking two pounds of wine could lead to alcohol poisoning.
The private room became quiet. It seems that everyone was waiting Sophia's decision.
"Mr. Li, I'm a little alarmed by this joke!" Sophia looked at the man's profile with a smile.
In the past three years, time didn't seem to leave any trace on Colin's face.
He was still the same person. The familiar taste made her heart flutter as her heartbeat quickened.
Colin kept his gaze on the wine in his glass. He didn't even look at Sophia. "If you think I'm joking, you can refuse."
For a moment, Sophia was a bit embarrassed. To avoid further embarrassment, she smiled at him. "Okay!"
In the past, she lost Colin from her side. Now, he's asking her to drink two pounds of alcohol...
"Miss Lo is a real female hero!" People who didn't know about Sophia's situation were praising her.
Hugh stood up and walked to Sophia's side. "Sophia, this bottle of wine costs hundreds of thousands. If you drink 2 pounds, you'll cost me almost a million. I don't approve!"
His tone was relaxed, and everyone laughed. "Mr. Pei, when did you start caring about money this small?"
The person was clearly joking. Hugh also gave a rare chuckle. "Money is a small matter. But Miss Lo's physical health is of great importance. If she is too wasted to design during overtime later, the loss will be great. Who will I complain to?"
Sophia shot Hugh a grateful look. He was evidently helping her.
Colin also chuckled. Putting down the glass in his hand, he leaned back against the chair. "It's fine, Miss Lo. You can drink what you want. I'll bear the consequences."
Sophia really wanted to slap herself. Why did she say she was glad to make him acquaintance?
Look, how ruthless he was!
Taking a deep breath, Sophia looked at irritated Hugh. She shrugged and told him in a relaxed tone, "Alright, I will drink, but if I can't hand in the design tomorrow, I trust that Mr. Li will bear the loss."
One after another, the glass of strong alcohol was poured into her stomach. Sophia thought back to three years ago.
When they were in Z Country, Colin taught her to drink and engage in social activities...
But he always took care of her afterwards. Back at the villa, Colin would give her a glass of warm milk to ease her stomach. If she drank a lot this time, would there be warm milk after?
Obviously not.
Sophia ignored Hugh's protests as she drank ten glasses of wine. Finally, she turned to Colin as she leaned against Hugh. "Mr. Li, please keep your word!"
Sophia's eyes were red. Did he understand why she insisted on drinking ten glasses of wine?
She hoped to use this to make Colin state his position.
She remembered in the past, Colin would announce in public that she was Mrs. Li and that she belonged to him...
He clearly couldn't announce that she belonged to him now. But at the very least, he could say that she would be under his protection in the future.
But Colin didn't say anything...
After she drank the wine, Colin still didn't look at her or even expressed his concern for her.
During her 3-year stay in Milan, she thought about Colin all the time. She thought of his tenderness, his alpha personality, and his sweet words...
It turns out that three years can really change everything.
Her hopes were ultimately impossible...
