Her Life Starts to Spin out of Control novel Chapter 21

Sophia frowned. Colin was right. She had wanted to use his power to get revenge. However, today she was asking Colin not to get involved. No wonder he called her a hypocrite.

When Colin saw her mulling over his observation, he regretted what he had said. He wondered if he had yet again, gone too far.

Colin got up from the couch irritably, "Okay. That's enough for today."

Still immersed in her thoughts, Sophia didn't move. She assumed Colin meant that he was leaving. "Oh, goodbye, Mr. Li."

Colin felt his frustration mounting. He walked up to her, lifted her chin with his right hand, and explained, "I mean you can leave work now! Not me!"

Sophia was about to nod, but she then accidentally saw that his tie was missing. She slapped away his hand, and calmly said, "I've got plenty of work to do, Mr. Li."

"I said you can go home now! Don't you understand, Soapy?" Colin didn't miss her sudden emotion change. What was she thinking?

Did she want to dump him since he was useless to her now? How ungrateful was she?

Sophia was walking to her desk. She turned to Colin and shouted, "Don't call me Soapy! My name is Sophia! Don't you know it's impolite to give others a nickname?"

Colin was speechless.

He closed his eyes, trying to think of a phrase to describe how he felt. But he couldn't quite remember what it was. Oh, yes. "A woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets. Sophia, why are you unhappy now? Why are you being so ungrateful?"

Sophia calmly replied, "Yes, I am very ungrateful. How about you go and find Miss Chiao? She's grateful and kind."

"......" Colin wondered why Sophia brought every argument back to Jamie Chiao.

"How dare you!"

Colin approached her and Sophia fled from him again.

Colin reached out his hands, but only clutched empty air.

"Mr. Li, don't you think you are an asshole? You gave your tie to Miss Chiao as a token, and pretended to have an affair with me at the same time. Do you really think that all the women in the world will line up to pursue you just because you have some money?"

"I gave my tie to Jamie? I pretended to have an affair with you? I want all women to swoon over me? Sophia Lo... You are really a piece of work." Colin strode forward, grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.

Sophia took a step back but Colin kept pushing. A few steps later, Sophia found herself pushed up against the desk.

The position made Sophia blush. She muttered, "Off!"

"You'd better tell me how you came to think that I gave my tie to Jamie as a token." He stressed on the latter part of the sentence.

"Are you playing innocent here? Where is your tie? You dare say you didn't gave it to Miss. Chiao? And you told me I'm the one that needs to explain? Ha!" Sophia's ironic gaze swept across the open collar of his shirt.

His collar was unbuttoned. And when she accidentally glanced inside, what she saw made her swallow.

Colin tightened his grip on her wrist, "Who the hell told you I gave it to her?"

"You don't have to pretend. The whole secretary's office has seen her brandishing your tie with that pretentious look. And she told them that you gave it to her! You are such a casanova!"

Colin thought for a while and explained to her, "I asked Miss Chiao to throw it away for me. Hell knows why she kept it!"

Hmmm? He asked Jamie to throw it away for him?

"Why did you want to throw it away?"

Colin gently put his arm around her soft waist. It felt so good to hold her. "Someone touched it. So I didn't want it anymore."

Sophia thought back to when she had dragged Jamie into Colin's office. She had seen Jamie wrap her fingers around Colin's tie. She now understood that Jamie Chiao had been lying this whole time!

Sophia felt relieved. She stopped fighting with Colin. The silence in the room wasn't awkward any more. Instead, it was charged with attraction between the two. Colin's eyes narrowed when he gazed at her lips, "Now, tell me about my fantasy about other women, Miss Lo."
