Her Life Starts to Spin out of Control novel Chapter 6

The coffee had been scalding hot. Sophia Lo nursed her red and swollen wrist, and grit her teeth.

She had been wearing a white shirt, and now, it was soaked to the skin with coffee. In a word, she looked and felt a mess.

Her face grew even paler, but she ignored Jamie and apologized, "I'm sorry to interrupt. Please continue with the meeting. I'll clean up now."

"Miss Lo, you can't even do a trivial thing like serving coffee well. How can you be a CEO's secretary?" Said Colin primly.

Tears welled up in Sophia's eyes. She raised her head and blinked back the tears.

Sophia Lo! Be strong, don't cry! "I'm sorry Mr. Li, I'll clean it up now. I'm so sorry!"

As Sophia walked away, Colin frowned.

In the bathroom, Sophia put her wrist under cold water. In that moment, she lowered her head and allowed her tears to fall into the sink.

A minute later, she brushed away her tears with the back of her hand. Determined not to show any weakness, she put on a professional appearance and went into the cleaning room.

Despite the painful burn on her wrist, she cleaned the mess at the door of the meeting room.

After she was done, Sophia went to the infirmary on the third floor and sought treatment for her wrist injury. The woman doctor told her, "Here, we can only give you basic first-aid. You still have to go to the hospital later. If you start feeling feverish, you will need to go to the hospital."

Sophia nodded, "I see. Thank you."

After leaving the infirmary, Sophia went to the supervisor of the secretarial department to ask for leave.

According to company policy, she should ask the manager of the secretarial department when she needed time away from work. But the manager was in a conference upstairs, so she asked the supervisor instead.

Hearing that she was going to the hospital and seeing her apparent wrist injury, the supervisor quickly agreed.

Sophia felt very unwell. Without changing clothes, she took her handbag and hurried to the hospital.

Sophia was apprehensive. She was not familiar with Country Z.

She had never been to Z Country before. And ever since her arrival, she had been working at SL group. Sometimes, she even worked nights.

She had no time to go shopping at all. Sophia stopped a taxi and told the driver, "Sir, the nearest hospital, please."

Sitting in the car, she closed her eyes and tried not to focus on the pain.

Two minutes later, her phone rang. Colin was calling.

Sophia didn't want to see his name, let alone see him in person!

But when she thought of Wendy, she let out a sigh and answered the phone call, "Mr. Li."

"Bring me the established contract of our agreement with Lien's Group."

"I'm not in office right now. Would you please ask others to help you with it? It's in the first drawer of my desk." Sophia's voice was low since she felt exhausted.

"Not at the company? Sophia Lo, it's working hours now. Where are you?" Colin asked in disbelief.

Sophia rubbed her throbbing temples and was just about to answer Colin when the taxi stopped. The driver reminded her, "Miss, we've reached the hospital."

Sophia opened her wallet and paid him.

After getting out of the car, Sophia put her mobile phone back to her ear and explained helplessly, "Mr. Li, I have asked the supervisor of the secretarial department for the rest of the day off."

Colin didn't speak. He just hung up.

Sophia shook her head. She found Colin's behavior to be rather rude.

She went in and registered. While waiting for the doctor, she checked her bank balance.

One digit, two digits, three digits, four digits, five digits. Ten thousand two hundred and seventy six dollars and eighty.
