Flynn entered her office.
Sophia didn't recognize him when he entered the room. She then thought for a moment, and realized who the man was.
Flynn hadn't seen her for a long time, and he had missed her very much. She seemed to be very sad at the time of his visit. "Why are you crying?" asked Flynn.
He had already had the answer, but he wanted the confirmation.
Sophia recovered fast, and hastily wiped her tears as she listened to his words. She didn't even realize that she was crying, and said, "Good morning. Mr. Fan!"
Flynn carefully looked at her face, and said, "I'm going to meet Hugh now, but we can have lunch together after I finish my work."
"Oh, thank you, but I don't have time. I have a lot of things to do around here, " replied Sophia.
"I won't take no as an answer. I already know that the Pei Group doesn't have that much business with other companies as it used to, so you aren't busy at all, " said Flynn, wearing a smile on his face. He put his hands inside his pockets, and watched her reaction after he debunked her lie.
Sophia was embarrassed when she heard Flynn's words. With a flushed face, Sophia said, "You're right, I'm not busy with work, but I have some other personal things to do."
"What are you going to do? Colin's going to get married, and he will be very busy by the end of the year. Sophia, don't refuse me! You've always refused me! Although you broke our appointment last time, you can still have lunch with me this one time, " said Flynn, in an anxious tone.
Sophia was determined to refuse him decisively. ··· "Mr. Fan, trust me, I'm not the right girl for you, " said Sophia.
Flynn chuckled, and said, "How do you even know this? We haven't even had a chance to try."
When he walked up to her, Sophia got frightened, and took a step backwards. She concealed her embarrassment by pouring tea, and said, "Mr. Fan, do you want a cup of tea?"
"Please, don't be shy... Yes, I would be glad to have some tea, " replied Flynn. He loosened his tie and took the cup of tea, lolling on the sofa after. He then squinted at Sophia, who was standing in front of him with a flushed face.
Sophia took a deep breath, and said, "Mr. Fan, what can I do for you? If you don't need my help, then please leave my office and do your own work."
When he heard her, Flynn smiled, and said, "Sophia, Colin is going to get married soon. You know you have to give up on the relationship with him."
Flynn knew the reason why Sophia refused him—she loved Colin.
Sophia looked into his eyes, and said, "I'll give up after he actually gets married, but not now."
She wouldn't give up on her endeavors until the very end.
Flynn was filled with envy when he heard her words. He also wanted to have a girl who loved him as much as she did Colin.
The girls trying to get close to him wanted only his wealth, and he couldn't stand that any longer.
Flynn stood up from his seat on the sofa and then moved towards Sophia. He rested his arms on her desk, and said, "I'll never bother you again if you have lunch with me this one time."
Sophia hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.
Flynn felt happy, and with a contented look on his face, said, "I'll book the restaurant and send the location to your phone before noon."
"Okay. Mr. Fan, see you later then, " said Sophia. She couldn't wait for him to leave her office faster.
Flynn was a little upset, and thought to himself, 'Although she hates me, I won't give up yet.'
After he left Sophia's office, Flynn called his assistant. "Where will Colin and the people from FW have lunch? Check their location and send it to me, " said Flynn.
The assistant quickly replied, "No problem, I'll check it for you right now, Mr. Fan."
