Colin didn't like feeling like this. He was used to having everything under his control, but Sophia made it difficult for him. But he swore that he would have Sophia under his control.
He was the decision-maker of the house.
Her plan to leave him and move back to another country, didn't sit well with him. He had to do something to stop her.
Sophia felt relieved, and safe, When she walked back to the hall and saw all those well-dressed people.
Herring was there not far from her, Leaning over a table and talking to two beautiful women. He looked up and their eyes met. He smiled at her and put one finger, to signify that he was ending his conversation and would be with Sophia shortly. Sophia stood there and watched him flirt for a moment, feeling disgusted at the idea that she used to like him.
"Listen, sweetheart, my friend is back. Would you excuse me?" Herring winked at the two ladies and gave them one of his most charming smile. All the while, wishing that his plan had worked. Colin was wrong in thinking that Herring introduced Sophia as his girlfriend to hurt Shelly's feelings, rather it was to hurt Colin.
"Sure. Don't forget us, Mr. Huo!" One of the two women leered at Herring.
Herring grabbed her wrist and planted a kiss on it, "I won't!" He left the two women giggling.
When he reached Sophia, he asked, "Where's your husband?"
"He's dead!" Sophia responded. She had managed to fix her make-up, but her eyes were blood-shot due to the crying. She avoided looking at Herring in the eyes.
Herring didn't know how to reply.
"Really Sophia? So I'm a ghost now?" A cold voice came from behind Sophia. She jumped aside and looked at Colin.
When did he follow me here? He wasn't there when she looked back just now.
Herring couldn't help laughing, "Colin, you look angry. What's ruffled your feathers now?"
Colin darkened his face.
Herring looked at them back and forth and then put his hand on Colin's shoulder, "I see you don't look as satisfied as you should be. That's no big deal, bro. Let's get your needs taken care of."
Sophia's stomach dropped. She looked at Colin, nervously.
Their eyes met for a brief moment, before Colin broke off the connection.
"Sure." Colin said calmly. Colin smirked, if Sophia wasn't going to give him what he wanted, he was going to get it himself. Perhaps this will put her under my control, Colin thought.
Colin was going to find an
“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.
thinking about Colin.
He must be having fun with a bunch of girls by now.
But why did she feel so bad? She thought to herself.
She tossed and turned for half an hour or so, thinking. She jolted upright when an idea came to mind. She got out of bed, thinking that her idea would make Colin angry.
At the Dark Night bar, Colin had drunk up two glasses of whiskey. He leaned against the sofa and pondered.
His thoughts revolved around Sophia.
For someone he didn't love, he sure did think about her a lot. He also wondered why
She wouldn't sleep with him? Colin yearned for her, but was it love or lust?
The door of the private room opened and Herring walked in wearing his white suit vest.
"Why are you alone? Has the Dark Night run out of women?" Herring asked when he noticed that Colin was sitting by himself. Herring didn't wait for a response, walked back out and called the manager and asked him to bring some girls.
"Where's your blazer?" Colin glanced at Herring who had just sat down next to him.
Herring took a sip of whiskey, and said, "Your wife took it."
Colin didn't respond. But his grip on the glass became tighter.
Soon, the manager came in with six women behind him. They lined up. "Mr. Huo, Mr, Li, they all haven't lost their first night. Pick whichever you like."
Herring nodded and patted Colin on the shoulder, "Pick one."
There was a flash of disgust in Colin's eyes. He pointed casually to the one standing near the door, "Her."
The manager pushed the one wearing wine red camisole to Colin's side, "Mr. Li, this is Nina. She's new here. You two have fun!"
