Dorothy was so furious that she raised her hand to slap Sophia, but Sophia held her by the wrist, "Your husband is so generous. I haven't even used up all the pocket money he gave me before!"
Although Sophia spoke in a low voice, both Dorothy and Colin heard her. After Colin listened to all of her words, he smiled a bit.
He grabbed an undershirt near him and suddenly spoke, "Dorothy, go try on this shirt now. I will help you teach her a lesson!"
Dorothy was very excited to hear that Colin was going to punish Sophia. She took the shirt from Colin and said, "I will try it on later. Help me teach this woman a lesson first!"
She would love to personally see Sophia get punished.
However, Colin looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "I have a meeting regarding a cooperative project worth hundreds of millions of dollars later, and there is no time left. You should go try it on now. I will punish her by myself!"
'A cooperative project worth hundreds of millions of dollars?' Dorothy's eyes lit up since she only cared about money. She immediately nodded and said, "Okay. Wait for me. I will be back soon."
After Dorothy left, Colin held Sophia's hand and walked up to the cashier's desk. He then handed his credit card to the cashier and said, "I'll pay the bill!"
"..." The shop manager, the sales clerk, Sophia and Selina were all stunned by his words.
Before Sophia had the chance to react, the cashier had already settled the account.
She looked at Colin and was about to say something. But Colin put his palm on the back of her head, pulled her close, and whispered in her ear, "You look so good in this overcoat. You can wear it when I see you tonight. I'm going to get married at the end of this month. You can wear it to my wedding!"
After he finished these words, he kissed Sophia's lips in front of the others.
"..."
Colin continued, "I promised my fiancee that I will punish you! So I have to do what I promised!"
Sophia suddenly had a bad feeling, so she turned around, meaning to escape, but Colin brought his handsome face close to her... Colin kissed her again in front of a big crowd of people.
All of the sales clerks were so surprised that they almost screamed. 'What... What is going on? Is Mr. Li dating two women at the same time?' they thought, confused.
Colin gave Sophia a deep kiss. They kissed for a while.
When he heard the fitting room door open, Colin released her and said, "Wait for me at home tonight!"
Sophia's face was red, as she watched Colin's back walking toward the fitting room. She wondered whether people thought that she was Colin's mistress.
'No! I have to leave now!' thought Sophia.
After Dorothy tried on the shirt and came out of the fitting room, everyone cast a weird look at her. She had no idea what happened. When she saw Sophia's red face, she thought that Colin had punished her and humiliated her, so her face turned red.
She proudly spoke, "Colin, do you think it looks good on me?"
When Sophia pulled Selina out of the shop, she even heard Colin say in a low voice, "Hmm... Not bad! Wrap it up, please!"
...
With several shopping bags in their hands, Sophia and Selina walked far from the shop. They only stopped when they ran out of breath.
Selina exclaimed, "Sophia, Colin is so cool! He even dared kiss you in front of so many people. He didn't care about Dorothy at all!"
Sophia calmed herself down and thought that Colin was really good at flirting with women! "Just ignore him. Let's go eat something!"
Inside the WY clothing shop, Dorothy changed back to her own clothes and was about to pay for the shirt. She then heard two women in the adjacent fitting room chatting. One of them said, "If I were her, I wouldn't use my fiance's money. After all, we haven't gotten married yet. If my fiance thinks that I'm in a relationship with him just because he is rich, I'd be labeled as a gold-digger!"
The other woman nodded and said, "Yeah. That's right. That makes sense..."
Dorothy slowly walked away from the fitting room area. She was about to let Colin pay for the shirt. But then she pondered, 'Is it really inappropriate for me to use Colin's money before marriage? Will he think that I only cared about his money?
No, that can't be. I can't let him think of me that way.'
Colin was already at the cashier's desk. Dorothy immediately came over to him and said, "Colin, let me pay for it!"
"No need. I'll pay for it."
