Payne was furious with himself. He didn't care about his relationship with Colin, but he kicked himself for creating an opportunity for Sophia to marry Colin!
"The contract is screwed. What should we do?" Dorothy was still stunned by Colin. She couldn't understand how he could protect Sophia and even break Payne's arm! She needed to tell her father. Her father could talked to some of his connections, and maybe they could get Colin out of SL group.
Payne was still thinking about the contract. Now that it was in shreds, he had no choice but to stand still with the Lian Family.
"I'll talk to Sophia. Maybe she can talk some sense into Colin."
Dorothy glared at him. "Talk to Sophia?"
Payne normally admitted that he was the dumb one in their relationship. But now, Dorothy was acting like a fool. Was his stupidity contagious?
"Dear, didn't you see how Colin held Sophia? There's something going on between them!" Payne was trying to get Dorothy on the same page.
If it hadn't been for Colin's warning, he would have told her about the marriage.
Before the incident in the conference room, Payne had thought that Colin hated Sophia. Now, he wasn't so sure.
Listening carefully to Payne, Dorothy grit her teeth in anger.
The couple left SL, got into a car and headed to a hospital.
Sophia walked back to her desk. Looking at the reflection from her phone's display, she was shocked at the mess of makeup.
The ruins of her makeup looked horrible on her face.
She quickly cleaned her face before going back to her desk.
Sophia was completely absorbed by the events from the conference room. Considering that Dorothy had lied to her, she still had no idea who the killer was. She had been duped by Dorothy's show of kneeling.
Dorothy, go ahead and kneel to me. I'll watch as you bow ten times!' Sophia had thought to herself.
But... However, thinking back to all of the time spent working at SL company in Z Country, Dorothy suddenly had a feeling of great waste.
Would it be best for her to head back to A Country now? Even though she would have to start from the bottom again, she would happily take any job there. It would be a fresh start.
Or would leaving SL completely be even better?
She pulled out her phone and looked at the bank message from earlier. He balance had a measly four digits.. She certainly didn't have the money to start her own business.
What should I do?' Sophia thought to herself.
Sophia gently knocked on her head with her knuckles, but still couldn't think of anything. Well, I guess I'll just focus on my work for today.' After all that happened today, I need to be strong. I'll need it for my revenge against Dorothy.'
Just as she was finishing up, she felt Herring's hand on her shoulder. He had reappeared after disappearing for the better part of the day.
"Where are we going, Herring?"
Herring winked. "You'll know when we get there."
She resisted. "Herring, I still have work to do. If it's not important, I'd rather not.." Sophia wanted to bury herself in her work to forget everything.
"I promise it's important!"
As they walked down the hallways, Sophia noticed that Colin was not in his office. Without punching her time card, Herring led her out of the office.
He gestured for her to get into his red Lamborghini. She obliged.
They sped away quickly.
