Chapter 37 A Big Shot
Chapter 37 A Big Shot
Since knowing that Sophia had knelt before Dorothy, Eugenia had been watching for a chance to taunt
her.
Jamie didn't like Sophia and often spoke ill of Sophia in front of Eugenia. Therefore, Eugenia also
disliked Sophia.
She wanted to find a chance to make Sophia feel little. Seeing her in the cafeteria unexpectedly,
Eugenia said proudly, "Why are you pretending to be aloof Miss Lo?"
"For you!" Sophia responded to her casually.
"Oh! Why do you pretend to be a big shot in front of us? All of you may not know that! In order to take
her ex-boyfriend back, Sophia knelt before the Lien's Deputy General Manager!" Eugenia's last words
were followed by sounds of astonishment.
"Really? God! Kneeling! How currish can you be Sophia?"
"Yeah, just for a man? Was it worth it? Is Sophia so empty and alone?"
"Ha ha ha, maybe you're right!"
……
Eugenia's statements encouraged her female colleagues to taunt Sophia.
Although Sophia was the President's secretary, she was too ordinary.
Everyone thought that she was silent and could be bullied easily. Over time, their insults only got
harsher.
Sophia was puzzled. She didn't seem to know these people. Why would they want to embarrass her?
Did she have a look that invited other people to bully her? Dorothy bullied her, Payne bullied her, Jamie
bullied her and now... even irrelevant colleagues were bullying her!
"Do all of you want me to put in a good word for you with our president?" Sophia had to mention Colin.
Everyone knew that she was the President's secretary. She was the closest to the President. It was not
difficult for her to complain.
As expected, a few female employees immediately lowered their heads and started eating. But
Eugenia continued to taunt Sophia fearlessly. "Didn't you say that Mr. Li is married? Mr. Li hasn't
confirmed it. How can you spread such a rumor? You must have been telling a lie to deceive the
colleagues who adore Mr. Li so that you can have him all to yourself!"
"Sophia, you went too far! I can't believe how people like you can qualify to be the President's
secretary!"
"Yeah, I heard that she didn't graduate from college! Who knows if it was because she pulled strings by
having an affair with someone?"
"Well, think about it. Is there anyone here who doesn't have a college degree or higher qualification?" NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Hearing that, Sophia did not get mad. Instead, she smiled. She approached these female colleagues,
and said coolly, "Do you know why Jamie's face is swollen?"
Everyone looked at her curiously. "How did it become swollen?" Come on, tell us, Miss Lo."
"Yeah, tell everyone!"
Sophia smiled, "It was I who hit her on the face. If you continue to treat me like this, I promise that I will
do the same to each of you and that your faces will be more swollen than hers."
Sophia's colleagues stopped eating and looked at each other in surprise.
Although skeptical about what Sophia had just said, Eugenia believed her. There was no need for
Sophia to admit to something awful.
Immediately she lowered her head and began eating her food. She was going to ask Jamie whether
her claim was real or not after work.
Seeing that Eugenia didn't dare to contradict Sophia, the remaining female colleagues continued eating
as well.
Birds of the same feather flock together! Sophia shook her head and left the cafeteria.
At the end of the day, Sophia looked at Colin's schedule in a daze. Colin was scheduled to visit the
company in A country in two days. She also wanted to go with him.
She missed her dad and wanted to see how he was doing.
If possible, she wanted to bring her father back and take care of him by herself...
The ringing phone interrupted her train of thought. It was Colin.
"Hello, Mr. Li."
"Follow me to the meeting with Mr. Xu this evening. Remember to prepare all the documents! Contact
Mr. Ji if you have any questions." Colin spoke lazily.
Sophia looked at Colin's schedule. Indeed, there was an appointment with Mr. Xu in the evening. But
wouldn't it be Mr. Xu who come to Colin?
Though confused, Sophia still agreed, "Ok, I see!"
After work, Sophia changed her clothes and knocked on Colin's door.
"Come in!"
Sophia opened the door and saw that Colin was speaking on the phone. Seeing Sophia enter, Colin
motioned for her to sit on the sofa and wait.
Sophia sat down and looked at Colin. He was standing at the window with one hand buried deep in his
pocket.
She didn't know who he was speaking with. Colin chuckled and said, "Well, take care of yourself while
staying outside the house... Well, you are Ji's little princess. Wherever you go, there will always be
someone caring for you... Ok, see you next month... Remember to have dinner. Goodbye!"
Ji's little princess? Leila came to Sophia's mind.
Did Colin feel so happy when he spoke with Leila?
Sophia's breath hitched at the thought, and her faint smile gradually disappeared.
Did Colin want to divorce her for Leila? She still remembered that day in his villa when Colin had
admitted that Leila liked him.
Maybe Colin also liked Leila, or he wouldn't be so concerned about her, asking her to take good care of
herself... Remember to have dinner...
"Soapy? Soapy?" Colin called Sophia several times, but the women on the sofa did not react at all.
Colin approached Sophia after leaving his mobile phone on the desk. She looked depressed.
"Sophia, what happened to you?" Colin furrowed his brow as he waved his hand to attract Sophia's
attention.
Sophia pulled herself out of her thoughts. She looked down and shook off the emotions in her eyes.
"Well? I'm all right. Have you finished your work?"
Colin stared at her again for a few seconds, "Sophia..."
"Have you finished your work? If yes, then hurry up!" Sophia felt uncomfortable and her heart
palpitated. She didn't know why she felt like this. After interrupting Colin, she immediately stood up
from the sofa and walked to the door.
While walking, Sophia said to herself, "What's wrong with you? Why do you feel sad when Colin calls
other women?
What a great fool you are!"
Colin was about to stop her, but he gave up after looking at his watch. He took the documents Sophia
had forgotten and strode after her.
The car stopped in the front of the company. Sophia looked at Wade Ji sitting in the driver's seat. Why
was Mr. Ji here? Why was she going to meet clients with Colin?
Never mind. Mr. Ji must have his own things to deal with.
When Sophia opened the front passenger door, a big hand stopped her. "Sit at the back!"
Sophia let go of the door and sat in the back passenger seat obediently.
She thought that Colin had asked her to sit at the back because he wanted to sit in the front. However,
Colin crawled in beside her...
Since she was in a bad mood, she decided not to talk!
