About to enter the room, Sophia suddenly turned back and took the medicines from Colin's hand. "Don't bother. I will eat them later, " she said.
Though she had said this, Sophia was thinking of throwing them away!
When Sophia found the documents and came out of the room, the two men were still talking to each other. Sophia looked at Colin in confusion. "Why haven't you left till now?" she asked.
Her question made Colin's face gloomy. "I will take you there, " he said.
"No need. I can take a ride in Hugh's car." There was really no need to trouble Colin again.
Hugh smiled gently and said, "Sophia, I'm leaving now."
Sophia was speechless.
After Hugh left, Colin pulled Sophia to face him. "Why did you come to Z Country?" he asked.
"I'm on a business trip." Colin said.
There was nothing wrong in that. "And can you stop behaving like that in front of Hugh?"
He knew that Hugh liked her. But when they were together, Colin still treated her as his lover. He showed affection in front of Hugh on purpose. Hugh must have felt uncomfortable.
With his eyes bleak, Colin said angrily, "Why? Are you worried that he would be jealous?"
"Yeah. After all, I have to leave my options open. If you marry Dorothy later, maybe I will marry Hugh." Sophia shrugged and strode forward.
She had said that only to annoy Colin. As for marrying Hugh, she didn't want to think about it now. After all, nothing is impossible, isn't it?
Sophia felt a force on her arm. But she did not have any time to react, as Colin twirled her and pressed her against the wall of the corridor...
She didn't feel any pain as she had expected. Colin had placed his hand against the wall to cushion her back. Her back just ran into the back of his hand. And she was wearing lots of clothes because of the cold weather. So she didn't feel much pain.
But... Sophia couldn't help shivering. How cold his eyes were! In the previous three years, Colin must have practiced this look on the glacier. That's why he had such icy eyes!
"What have I said before?" He must have practiced talking also on the glacier. Listen to this voice! My God! There wasn't a trace of affection in it.
Sophia tightened her collar. "You have said so much. I don't know what are you asking about right now?"
"About Hugh and you!" He didn't mind reminding her.
"You're my wife in name only, on paper only. My heart and love will never be yours."
Edward made it clear to Daisy that she was nothing to him. They were both victims of family greed -- the marriage was arranged for them.
Six years passed. She remained quiet, gaining a reputation in the army as a tough-as-nails colonel. When she walked into his life again, Edward fell in love with this woman...
en as his student since he was Eason's son.
However, as Scott was not interested in designing clothes, he paid little attention to Eason's lessons and was often punished by his father.
Colin looked at her with amusement in his eyes. "I won't ask my employees to give away the tender even though you are my woman."
Did Colin actually say that? Sophia blushed. "I am not your woman. And I don't need your employees to give away the tender to me. I will enter the hall first. Don't come with me, " she retorted. While they were talking there, many people looked at them inquisitively.
She didn't allow him to stay with her. Was it because he was not good enough or was it because she didn't like him?
Sophia didn't know that she had unintentionally saddened Colin.
They walked into the conference room one after the other. Many famous designers were attending the event. They were familiar to people since they often came on TV.
It was a busy day with everyone immersed in their fashion design. The only break they took was at noon when they had returned to the hotel to rest.
Colin kept his word. At noon, he personally ensured that Sophia took her medicine.
He also went with her to the hotel, so she could sleep well. Only when it was time to leave did he wake her up.
In fact, he had kissed her to wake her up rather than calling her name to wake her up.
When they were going out, Sophia saw Hugh. He stared at her red lips for a long time. Feeling uncomfortable, Sophia took out her mobile phone and checked her image in the screen…
