Jamie never took Sophia seriously. Sophia was so ordinary to her, no background, no power, no strength... However, her behavior had embarrassed Jamie.
Jamie sneered, "Sophia Lo, I intended not to make it too embarrassing for you, but you started it first, so don't blame me for being unkind. It is said that you slept with Lien's Deputy CEO, but you still failed to get their contract. How cheap are you, Sophia Lo?"
Jamie's words reminded Sophia that Payne had almost raped her that night. Her face turned pale in disgust.
But Jamie thought Sophia looked guilty. Feeling even more confident, she continued, "So Mr. Li was your first target, and then you aimed for Lien's Deputy CEO, and now Mr. Huo. Sophia Lo, you certainly know where to look."
"You are so disgusting." Sophia rolled her eyes and ignored Jamie. She decided not to talk to Jamie, and went back to her seat and started to work.
Though she didn't want to make trouble, trouble came to her. Jamie followed Sophia. "Miss Lo, who were you talking about?"
Sophia ignored her, opened the tender, took a pen, and began studying the document.
However, in the next moment, the pen was taken away and thrown directly into the trash can.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you ignore me? Sophia Lo, Mr. Li is about to kick you out of the company. What are you proud of?"
Sophia was irritated now. Since the Chief Secretary, Wade Chi was not in, Sophia decided to put an end to this drama. She grabbed Jamie's wrist and pulled her out of the room.
"Sophia Lo! What are you doing? Let go of me!" Jamie was wearing very high-heeled shoes and almost tumbled to the floor. Fortunately, Kyle Ker, the male secretary, helped her before she fell.
Colin was trying to convince Herring to work from the temporary office he had prepared when they heard a knock on the door.
"Come in."
The door flew open, and a woman came stumbling into the room. Jamie fell to the carpet with a shriek.
"Oops, my little beauty, does it hurt?" Herring was always keen on helping pretty women. He offered hi
“Do you still want to run away after what happened last night?”
Their relationship changes overnight. She tries to keep her distance from him, while he comes closer and closer.
Spoiling her, he gives her everything she desires. His only wish is to keep her around. The whole world is envious of what she has.
“Never rush in a relationship,” she says calmly.
ing another word, Sophia left the CEO's office.
Colin's eyes darkened as he watched Sophia leave.
Silence engulfed the room. Jamie spoke in a sweet tone, "Mr. Li, Mr. Huo, if there is nothing else, I'll go back to work."
"Wait." Colin stopped Jamie.
Jamie was thrilled. Was Mr. Li reluctant to let her go?
"Miss Chiao, how long have you been working here?" Colin went around his desk and sat in his chair.
"I've been here since the inauguration. It's been three months..."
"You've worked here for three months, and still don't know how to behave? Is there a management problem or are your tasks so few that you have time to slap your colleague at work?" Colin spoke in a cold tone that he had never used before. His gentle mask had been ripped away. Although he was not looking at Jamie, she felt a shiver run down her spine.
When had that goddamn Sophia Lo ratted her out to Colin?
Jamie tried to turn the situation to her advantage. Regardless of Herring's presence, she approached Colin and caressed his tie with her dainty hand, "Mr. Li, I'm sorry...Can you forgive me?"
Colin lowered his eyes and looked at the hand touching his tie. With a tone conveying his disgust he said, "Take it away."
Jamie's hand trembled. She untangled her fingers from his tie. Then she straightened herself, "Mr. Li, I'm sorry, I will go back to work!"
"Wait!"
