SWNOVELS Chapter 84 Overtime
Colin was sinking into the swamp of love!
"Coax her when you arrive. Women like to be coaxed. Got it?" Reclining on the edge of the hot spring pool, Herring looked at the silent Hugh.
One was happy, while the other one was sad. This was how his two brothers have been lately.
Women like to be coaxed? Sitting in the car, Colin pondered on Herring's words.
He started his silver-grey Aston Martin and drove at full speed towards the expressway.
He was in Green Cold Country. It would take at least five hours to get to Z Country from here.
And it was already 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Even if he could get there early, it would still be past nine.
In Z Country, Sophia was puzzled by the extra work Wade had given her. "Miss Lo, a lot of work accumulated in the past three days you weren't here. These documents are needed tomorrow." Well, that sounded reasonable. "Okay. I'll work on it."
"Thank you, Miss Lo." Wade felt guilty, since the documents were neither urgent nor important at all. But Mr. Li told him to do so. He had no choice.
"That's alright, Mr. Ji."
While everyone had gone home, only Sophia and the Public Relations Department remained in the office.
The Public Relations Department stayed to handle reports about Colin and Leila. Meanwhile, Sophia was doing overtime work because of an order from Colin.
At 10pm, Sophia took off her glasses and rubbed her sore eyes. She felt like it would take endless hours to process those documents.
She sighed helplessly and put on her glasses back to continue.
In that moment, the door was pushed open. Sophia startled at the sound.
What? Colin?
Seeing Sophia sitting at her desk, Colin sighed in relief. It was worth rushing over.
"Sophia Lo!" He called.
"Yes, Mr. Li." She looked back to the computer and continued working.
Colin strode over, pulled her into his arms, and responded with a kiss.
Sophia couldn't get out of Colin's grasp because of his strength. As she stepped backward, Colin stepped forward. This went on until they reached the wall, and she was trapped in his arms. Colin greedily kissed the mouth had missed these past few days. He would not let her go so easily.
The office was suffused in a romantic atmosphere. Colin swept the documents from the table and lifted Sophia onto it.
With her lips free, Sophia panted, "Behave yourself! We're at the office!"
So what? Colin didn't care at all. He buried his head in Sophia's neck and sucked eagerly.
Sophia almost surrendered herself to Colin, But she suddenly pushed the horny man away, and began to arrange her clothes.
"Mr. Li, did Miss Ji not satisfy you?"
Colin ignored her sarcasm and drew her into his arms. "Go to my lounge."
"Sorry, Mr. Li. I'm busy. I have work to do." Sophia pushed him away and sat back down at her desk.
"Sophia Lo, don't push your luck!" Colin was exasperated. He had left his friends behind and rushed back to see her. For what? She rewarded him with cynicism and indifference.
Push her luck? Sophia paused her in writing, and asked calmly, "How should I not push my luck? Turn a blind eye on your affair with another woman? Move out of the villa and make room for her? Or... should I just give up the title, 'Mrs. Li'?"
Her suggestions were getting increasingly outrageous as she spoke.
If she didn't want to sleep with him now, that's fine. He could wait until they got home. Colin grabbed her wrist.
"It's not what you think. Don't make wild assumptions. Let's get some dinner now." Colin put aside all the documents and dragged her out of the office before she could reply.
"Colin, I can't go now. I have to finish all these documents. Mr. Ji said they're needed tomorrow."
"They're not."
"What?"
"I said they're not needed tomorrow. I told him to give them to you." Sophia was dragged out and pushed into the lift.
She was sullen. "Do you enjoy taking advantage of your authority over me?"
When they arrived at the underground parking, Colin pointed at his car. "Do you want another go?"
"..." Knowing what he meant, Sophia shook her head furiously and stop talking.
Colin was pleased. He made her sit in the front passenger seat, then he started the car and drove off.
Not far away from them, a woman hiding behind a car poked her head out.
Sophia Lo and Mr. Li? When Jamie went back to get her lipstick from the office, she didn't expect to see Colin and Sophia together. Wasn't Sophia engaged? But she and Mr. Li seemed to be very close.
Was she having an affair? Thinking of this, Jamie clenched her fist. She couldn't believe this bitch had hooked up with Mr. Li. Going through the photos on her phone, she resolved to embarrass Sophia the next day.
Unaware of this, the couple decided on what to eat. "Western or Chinese food?"
"Chinese!" Sophia answered without hesitation.
She didn't like Western food. She liked Chinese cuisine, especially Sichuan.
"Okay."
They finally stopped at a restaurant serving Hunan cuisine. When Sophia got off the car, Colin walked to her and took her hand.
She tried to take her hand back, but gave up when Colin didn't let go.
Sophia didn't know that she could be such a receptive woman. She had been mad at Colin this afternoon, but she was now holding his hand, about to have dinner with him. The restaurant was decorated in a retro style. They picked a luxurious private room with a window.
Two menus were placed in front of them, and Sophia slowly read the menu.
"Order anything you like." Colin closed the menu and let Sophia order first.
Sophia was really hungry. She had skipped supper because of the extra work. She ordered the fish head with chopped pepper, the stir-fried pork, the beef soup with enoki... All spicy dishes. In the end, she lifted her eyes and asked Colin, "Can you eat spicy food?"
Was she doing it on purpose? He ate all spicy food she cooked at home.
"Of course."
Getting his approval, Sophia closed her menu and gave it to the waiter. "That's all. Make them spicy, please. Super spicy. And I'd like two bowls of rice and a glass of fruit juice. Thank you!" Colin opened his menu. "I'll take the dry pot beef, the fried bamboo shoots, and a glass of fruit juice. That's all."
The waiter confirmed their orders. Then he asked, "Miss, would you like to try Naga Jolokia? We can add some in the stir-fried pork."
Sophia had tried Naga Jolokia once. It was one of the hottest chilis native to India. She asked, "How much will you add?"☐☐☐☐☐☐
