Her Life Starts to Spin out of Control
Chapter 16 Where's Your Self Respect
She decided to forget what Colin had done since she was about to leave the villa.
Sophia searched for house renting information online during her afternoon tea break and made an appointment with a potential landlord.
Her requirements for the flat were simple; clean, tidy, and convenient.
The first flat she saw fit those requirements. She paid the security deposit on the spot, and told the landlord she would move in soon.
It was midnight when Colin returned from the Red Hall.
He was tipsy. Subconsciously, he went to Sophia's room. The door was open.

He didn't know what he was thinking, but after a while, he dialed Sophia's number.
Sophia hadn't gone to bed yet. She had just moved in, and was cleaning the house. She was about to finish mopping the floor when the phone rang.

Sophia's face fell cold,"Thanks for calling, Mr. Li."
Colin didn't expect that. He shouted. "Sophia Lo! If you dare hang up the phone, I..." Then he heard the beeping signal.
Colin threw his phone onto his bed. He untied his shirt and tie impatiently, and threw them away.
