novelxo Chapter 22 That Made a Lot of Sense
"I'm in a hurry, you can..."
"One more word, and you will be here the whole night."
п
"
Sophia was speechless. Not wanting to stay the night, she followed Colin into the villa.
Once inside, Sophia noticed that dinner was ready. She washed her hands and sat at the table with Colin.
After they finished eating, Colin left for the living room. Sophia followed shortly after, only to find Colin was already busy on his phone. Just when she was about to speak to him, Colin handed his phone to her. Then Sophia saw Wendy was video chatting with him....
"Mom." Sophia sat down, and spoke with Wendy.
Through this impromptu video chat, Wendy meant to check whether they were still together. As she saw they were both in Colin's villa, she was extremely happy.
All her former worries were gone. "Sophie, your Grandpa's birthday is coming next month. You and Colin can come celebrate with us!"
Sophia looked at Colin, who was sitting opposite her. Colin nodded.
"Sure, mom."
Since Wendy had a lot to share, the conversation went on for a while.
After it ended, Colin took back his phone, and stood up from the sofa. "Sophia, I've got a job for you."
"What job?" asked Sophia.
"Come upstairs and see for yourself!"
Sophia followed him into his study on the second floor. Colin sat down on his chair, "My shoulders are sore. Come and massage them for me." Sophia was shocked.
"What are you waiting for? Come now!" Colin looked impatient.
"Mr. Li, I can do it tomorrow. I'm really late already." Since she had missed the subway, Sophia could only hope to catch the last bus.
Colin straightened up, walked to the door and locked it. "If you don't obey, I will not let you leave tonight."
п
Speechless again, Sophia obliged. But Colin didn't know when to stop. "Harder!" he commanded.
Sophia grit her teeth, and pressed harder.
"That hurts! Gentler!" Colin cried out again.

.." Even when Sophia's arms felt weak, and she felt like she couldn't move them anymore, Colin still complained, "Harder! I thought I just offered you a meal!" Slap! Sophia's hand landed square on Colin's shoulder. She had hit him with her full strength.
Colin swiveled back to the now angry Sophia and gazed at her in disbelief.
"You hit me again!"
"Oh did I? So what?" To Sophia, Colin had been asking for it. He had insulted her every time, and kept demanding more from her. Well, not quite asking... he was torturing her. Colin suddenly stood up from the chair, and pulled Sophia to him. He bit her ear.
Sophia cried out in pain, "You are sick!"
"Do you have a cure?"
"Sure, I'm always prepared to offer you some healing slaps."
Colin lifted her chin and forced her to look at him, "Soapy, I never thought you to have a silver tongue."
"Of course! Or what? I have never lost an argument!" If a person were not smart, then he had to be voluble.
"That made a lot of sense." Colin lowered his head, and kissed Sophia.
Sophia's face flushed.
What was wrong with him? Was kissing becoming a ritual now?
Even though she didn't dislike his kisses, she wasn't going to let him take advantage!
Since she wasn't able to push him away, Sophia decided to push him down.
When Colin landed on the chair behind him, he looked at Sophia in shock.
Sophia grit her teeth, and climbed onto his lap, enjoying his surprised look.
She leaned forward, wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her lips to his.
Compared to Colin's deep kiss, her's was more like a gentle touching of lips.
Sophia's bold step unleashed restrained feelings on both sides. Colin kissed Sophia fervently. He entangled his fingers in her hair and pulled her closer to him.
Before he could do more, Sophia realized the implications of her actions. She bit Colin's lips, and jumped off his lap.
Then, she ran out of the door.
When she made it to the living room, out of the corner of her eye, she saw Colin following her. Sophia quickly grabbed the car key from the hallway, slipped into her shoes, and ran out. As Colin stepped out, he saw the Porsche thunder forward with a roar.
He licked his bleeding lower lip, eyes darkened with anger. That woman!
How dare she tease him and run! Good! She was really a piece of work!
When he came back inside, he saw Sophia's text.
"Colin Li! Don't you dare lay hands on me again! I will rape you!"
Colin couldn't help but laugh out loud. She wanted to do him? Well, he looked forward to that.
Since Sophia had driven Colin's car home, she had to repay him by sacrificing her sleep hours.
Seven o' clock sharp, Sophia was waiting at the villa's gate for him. She was yawning and half-asleep. Colin merrily strolled out of the villa twenty minutes later.
By then, Sophia had put her head on the steering wheel and had fallen asleep.
She didn't even hear Colin knocking at the door.
Colin waited before knocking again.
Sophia raised her head. Half-asleep, she fixed her gaze at Colin through the passenger window. He looked livid. She sobered up, quickly got out of the car and opened the door for him, "Please get in Mr. Li." What now? She wanted to risk their lives by driving half asleep?
Colin pushed her into the back of the car and sat in the driver's seat.
It was quiet inside. Sophia leaned her head against the window and closed her eyes again. She quickly fell asleep.
It was all Colin's fault. All he ever did was tease her. She had barely slept last night. She remembered looking at the clock, and upon realizing it was after four am, she had crawled into bed.
Not long after, the car stopped at the company gate. Sophia had curled up on the car seat. She was still asleep.
Speechless, Colin parked in the underground parking lot. He opened the sunroof, left the car and walked into the elevator.
Sophia didn't feel a thing.
Sophia stirred when her phone rang. Still drowsy, she groped for her phone in her handbag, "Hello?"
"Sophia, we have been waiting for you for two hours. When will you come to the company?" It was Payne. Sophia now completely awake.
Where was she now? Oh! Underground parking lot!
What time was it now? Holy shit! It was past ten! Sweet Jesus!
"I'll be there soon!" Sophia hurriedly hung up the phone, opened the door and got out of the car.
Why didn't Colin wake her? He just let her sleep for this long?
Since she hadn't asked for leave, her lateness would be recorded in her attendance. Ewww.
In a hurry, she staggered into the office on her high heels, scanned her ID card and went to change.
Since she had dressed in a hurry, she looked a mess. She ran into Serena when she left the changing room.
Serena looked at her, and curiously asked, "Miss Lo, why are you so late? You didn't answer your phone. Mr. Li was mad. The Lien Group has been waiting for you for a long time."
Colin had called her? How come she wasn't aware? She took out her phone and checked... No phone call from Colin!
"I'm okay...I'll go for the meeting now!" Sophia quickly adjusted her clothes, and rushed to the private consultant's office. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, Colin saw a black figure flashing past.
