Her Life Starts to Spin out of Control
Chapter 39 What Was He Mad About
Sophia took a deep breath to contain her anger.
At that time, Mr. Xu walked out of the bathroom and sat down in his spot. The confrontation between Sophia and Colin ended.
"Mr. Li, I'd like to propose a toast to you, and wish for a stronger relationship between our companies in the future." Mr. Xu's secretary refilled Colin's glass, and also poured a little liquor into Sophia's.
Colin smiled, "Thank you."
The sound of glasses clinking filled the room. After completing the toast, Colin and Mr. Xu drank the shot of liquor.
Mr. Xu didn't sit down after the toast. Instead, he refilled his glass, turned to Sophia, and gently asked, "How long have you been at the SL group, Ms. Lo?"
Sophia knew what he meant. She looked at Colin, but he averted his eyes.
She had to pick up her glass and speak with Mr. Xu. She smiled, "I've been working at the SL group for less than two months. Thank you for asking, Mr. Xu."
"I had the honor of meeting Mz. Lo during Simon's anniversary celebration many years ago. Back then, I didn't know you'd rather keep a low profile. Just have a look at you now!"
He meant to say that Sophia's present attire was very different from what she wore the other night.
Sophia wasn't upset. She just smiled and changed the subject, "Mr. Xu, I'd like to propose a toast to you."
She then gently clinked glasses with Mr. Xu and drank its contents.
Instead of buying clothes and dressing herself up to avoid all these harsh comments, Sophia was decided on using her money to travel to A country to visit her father and her parents-in-law.
Perhaps it was because she was already in a bad mood, or because she remembered something sad, Sophia did not reject the following two shots of liquor that Mr. Xu offered her.
After three shots, Sophia looked different. Her behavior stunned Colin even more.
Sophia's face was flushed. She took off the black long coat, and revealed the wine-red close-fitting sweater inside.
She was only 24, after all, an age of the prime of feminine beauty.
Her long hair was simply pulled on top of her head, revealing her white neck. And the long wine-red sweater also added some maturity to her beauty.
