Her Life Starts to Spin out of Control

Chapter 43 Leave Sophia Lo to Mrs. Li!

"Why do you bother asking? You already know." Sophia blushed, which was rare.

"Great! Colin finally becomes a man!" He really admired Colin's willpower. Colin had been a virgin for

thirty years.

Sophia didn't want to continue this topic, so she changed the subject by asking, "Herring, so you're

really working here?"

"Uh-huh, I promised your husband that I'd work here for three months. And after that, I'll have the

investment I need for my company." The investment advisory firm that Herring had registered was

about to go bankrupt. He had never been there nor had he handled any problems. His underlings

oversaw everything.

The company was now on its last legs. Funds were needed to sustain the company. And Herring was

ready to invest more money in it.

However, in order to get Herring's help, Colin had offered to invest in his company and to hire

professionals for him to run the company.

And of course, Herring had agreed.

"Did you promise him..." Sophia stopped before she could finish the sentence.

Never mind, why bother to bring that up? Sophia had guessed that Colin had seduced Herring into

taking her away.

Herring rested on the desk leisurely and said, "Sophia, you finally bought yourself some clothes!"

"What?" That sounded like she had been coming to work in her birthday suit all this while.

Herring pointed at her light blue shirt, "Well, I suppose the shirt you're wearing is TER. This shirt would

cost you about two-month salary. Wait, did Colin buy you this?"

It was possible that Sophia bought one fancy item of clothing. But from head to foot, inside and out, she

was wearing only branded clothes. That was unusual.

Herring had been with so many women and so he could tell just by the look of it. And he knew most

women's brands, Because he often bought clothes for the women he spent time with.

Also, the skateboard shoes on her feet were name-brand products. If he remembered correctly, shoes

of this brand were worth at least 10, 000 a pair!

No one would be so generous except Colin. So it seemed that their relationship was headed in the right

direction. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Sophia nodded in surprise. She could tell that her shirt was not cheap, but she didn't know it was so

costly either.

Her monthly pay at SL was 8, 000, not counting bonuses. Herring said this shirt would take two months

of her wages, then it would be nearly 20, 000... She looked at her shirt in surprise! Was this made of

gold?

Why would Colin buy such expensive clothes for her?

"Husbands buy clothes for their wives. It's perfectly justified! If they didn't, then that would be odd. Don't

stress about it." Herring tried to reassure Sophia and patted her on the shoulder.

Sophia nodded. She knew it was like the evening dress Herring had bought her. She had put it on and

now, there was no way to return it to the store.

Okay! She would remember all that Colin had done for her!

She just couldn't get why Colin was being so good to her. Especially since he still insisted on divorcing

her.

He had made Payne and Dorothy apologize to her and had bought her high-end clothes. Did Colin

want to compensate her for sleeping with him last night?

Sophia's brain was in a mess with all these questions. She tried to focus on work. She didn't want to

think anymore.

This was no big deal. She could be better to Colin in return. But how?

He was her boss. He had enough money. He didn't want anything!

It seemed that it would be better to ask him later.

When Wade released the announcement as per Colin's instructions, there was an uproar among the

female workers. They surmised that Mr. Li made this announcement for Sophia's sake.

But then they thought that it was impossible for Mr. Li to do this for Sophia, so they disregarded the

idea that Mr. Li and Sophia were in a relationship.

Regardless, they knew they have to be more careful going forward.

Jamie looked at the notice and couldn't help wonder. She was not dumb enough to believe that there

was nothing going on between Mr. Li and Sophia.

She just couldn't understand why Mr. Li had a crush on an ordinary woman like Sophia.

What puzzled her more was that Sophia had mentioned that Mr. Li was married.

Then why did Sophia have an affair with Colin?

Jamie decided to keep an eye on the women who came to meet Mr. Li. She swore that she would

figure out who Mrs. Li was. And then she would tell Mrs. Li about how Sophia Lo had seduced Mr. Li.

Then she would leave Sophia Lo to Mrs. Li!

After work, Sophia sent an email to Wade about her leave and turned off the computer.

Sophia was in a light mood for she was going to see her father the next day.

Having got all her stuff, Sophia walked to the sofa and patted the sleeping man. "Herring, wake up! I'm

off duty."

Herring did nothing but sleep while at the company. But Colin didn't mind at all.

Herring opened his eyes in a daze and found Sophia standing near him. "Sophia, I wanna sleep a little

more."

"Okay, but I'm going." Sophia didn't care about Herring and turned to leave.

Herring sprang up from the sofa and put his arm around Sophia's shoulder. "Little Sophia, I'm so

sleepy. Let me rest on your shoulder for a while."

Just then Serena and Gillian walked out of the secretary's office and happened to see the intimacy

between the two. They were surprised.

Sophia hastened to push Herring away, "Herring! People are watching!"

The walls of CEO office were made of glass. So Colin saw them as well.

Click! Colin tapped hard on the keyboard. His face clouded in jealousy.

How dare Sophia Lo get so close to another man in front of him!

Herring noticed Colin's darkened face. He smiled evilly and purposely leaned on Sophia's shoulder

again.

"Herring! You are hurting me!" Sophia was weighed down. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Colin

sitting in his office.

Sophia was nervous. She patted Herring's hand hurriedly, "Herring! Get away! I'm getting angry!"

What bad luck! Colin must have misunderstood!

Herring smirked and let go of Sophia who was about to go mad, "What are you afraid of?"

"Nothing... But we're at the company, people will gossip about us!"

Herring put his hands into his pockets and lifted his brow at Sophia who dared not look into his eyes.

"Oh... I see. But I heard that Colin has released an announcement banning gossip. Why do you still

worry about it?" Herring didn't debunk her. He wanted her to explain.

Sophia blushed, "Well, you know that my reputation is not good here. I don't want to get you involved."

Seeing Sophia blushing, Colin thought Herring was flirting with her.

"Oh!" Herring understood at once, "That's all right. My reputation is worse. I don't care." He put his arm

across her shoulder and said delightedly, "Come on, little Sophia! Let's go out for dinner. My treat!"

'I am in so much trouble, ' Sophia thought to herself. Colin will certainly misunderstand. He will think

that Sophia intentionally approached Herring and flirted with him.
