Before leaving work, Colin threw a car key to Sophia. "Go to the wardrobe in my bedroom and change your clothes."
Sophia nodded and drove back to the villa.
In the wardrobe, the closet was full of women's clothing. Sophia had seen a lot of them in the bedroom last time.
Since they were going to deal with a business corporation, she couldn't dress herself too casually.
She matched an orange short-sleeved off-shoulder top with high-waisted wide-legged trousers and a pair of 2-inch high-heels.
Sophia looked at herself in the mirror in a daze…
She didn't think she could pull off this kind of fashion, and she never expected to wear them. They fit her perfectly. More importantly, the bright colors made her look slim.
After dressing up, Sophia returned to her room and fixed her make-up.
She replaced the rose lipstick with an orange one to match her clothes, and wore a pair of silver earrings that she bought in the Pedestrian Street.
It seemed that something was missing... Without a necklace, the off-shoulder top made her neck look bare.
But she didn't have a necklace.
Holding her handbag, Sophia was on her way to buy a necklace. Suddenly, Wade appeared in the living room of the first floor.
"Mr. Ji!" Sophia greeted Wade as she walked down the stairs.
Wade smiled at Sophia, "My lady, here's the jewelry that Mr. Li asked me to send you." Several handbags with boxes in them were placed neatly on the table behind Wade. Seeing Sophia, he raised them.
"Oh!" She didn't need to buy anymore. Sophia moved to take the boxes from Wade.
But Wade stopped her and smiled. "My lady, they're a bit heavy. Aunt Liu will help take them upstairs."
Aunt Liu took the boxes from Wade and went upstairs.
"Thank you, Mr. Ji." Sophia thanked him politely. She felt flattered that Wade personally sent these to her.
Wade was Colin's personal secretary, Sophia was surprised that he would do this errand personally.
"You're welcome, My Lady. I'll wait for you in the car. I'm bringing you to the office and picking up Mr. Li afterwards."
"Okay, please wait for a moment."
Sophia went upstairs.
Holding the handbags, Aunt Liu stood in the corridor on the second floor. She hesitated about which room she should put them in.
Taking two or three bags, Sophia walked into Colin's wardrobe and placed them on the table in the middle.
She thought them as something that belonged to Colin, so she put them in Colin's room.
As Aunt Lao left, Sophia opened one of the jewelry boxes. She covered her mouth in shock at the sight of the the diamond-encrusted jewelry.
The valuable diamond jewelry shone brightly under the light. Sophia closed the box immediately.
She wouldn't dare wear them since it was so expensive. If they broke, she couldn't afford them.
The second set was platinum, the third set was pearl, the fourth set was both diamond and platinum...
Packing up the other sets, Sophia wore the pearl necklace and replaced her silver earrings with pearl earrings.
On her wrist, she wore a simple pearl bracelet strung by a thin platinum chain.
Standing in front of the mirror, Sophia didn't recognize herself.
