Her Life Starts to Spin out of Control novel Chapter 89

"I'm here." It was the first time for Colin to see Sophia like this. She became soft and acted spoiled.

Maybe Herring was right. Sophia was like a cup of old tea, which was tasted better as time passed by.

Someone was knocking on the lounge door. Colin loosened his hold on Sophia and opened it to find Gillian.

Gillian handed him the brown sugar water. "Mr. Li, it's ready."

"Thank you, Mr. Huo." Colin replied warmly.

Gillian was a bit surprised. "You're welcome, Mr. Li."

When Gillan first met Colin, he was a calm person. But for some reason, he changed recently. He was usually serious or irritable these days. He rarely saw him so warm and gentle.

As Gillian left, Colin took the warm sugar water and sat down next to Sophia. "Wait a minute. It's still a bit hot."

Sophia nodded gently. "Okay."

Sophia looked up at the man who held her in his arms. She never thought Colin could be so good to her.

He was being so kind, she thought she was dreaming. When she was in pain, warm hugs and emotional comfort were better than anything else.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Colin was slightly unhappy about this.

Sophia was speechless for a long time. After taking a bold look at Colin, she spoke pitifully, "I'm not feeling well now. Are you really going to blame me?"

The saying was right. A spoiled woman enjoyed a better life!

Right! Colin kissed her on the forehead. "No, I'm not blaming you. Next time, tell me in advance if you're uncomfortable or if anything is wrong."

Sophia smiled. She rested her head on his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat. "Why should I tell you? You're not a doctor."

Colin paused. "At the very least, I can give you a leave and you don't have to endure the pain at work."

Fine! "Okay, I know."

"How did you get through it before?" She had been in Z Country for about three or four months. How did she get through it then?

"I filed for leave during the first two months. But this month, I've already asked for a 3-day leave to go to A Country. I decided not to ask for more leaves this month. I was thinking I could get through it."

But she couldn't get through it at all, or she wouldn't be rolling on the bed in pain.

"Who told you that you can't ask for more leaves after taking three days off?" There was no such a rule in SL Group.

Embarrassed, Sophia answered in a low voice, "The company will deduct my salary if I ask for more leaves." The longer she stayed off work, the more deductions she would get in her salary. She didn't want to take home a small salary on her next payday.

The system was designed to target employees who asked for leaves frequently despite not having a proper reason.

Colin was completely dumbstruck. "Are you keeping my check as an antique?"

"No. I'll use that money..." Talking to Colin seemed to distract Sophia from the pain. She felt much better now.

"I've told you before that you can ask me for more money anytime. I won't allow you to hurt yourself or trouble yourself when it comes to money." Colin chastised her in a serious tone, as if he was lecturing her.

"Yes, I get it. Teacher Li."

"Teacher Li?" What the hell?

"Hmm, it's nothing." Sophia quietly stuck out her tongue.

Colin caught her tiny action as he was reaching for the sugar water. His hand stopped in midair. Sophia was... so cute.

He brought the sugar water to her lips. "Try it. It might not be hot anymore."
