Trapped with the CEO

She was so moved that she almost burst into tears.

At the end of dinner, Sophia went to the kitchen. She made a bowl of tomato and egg noodles for Colin, and brought it upstairs.

In the Study.

Colin was talking to someone on his phone, possibly Wade Ji. When Sophia brought the noodles in, she heard Colin say, "Refund Sophia\'s plane ticket, and..."

"How dare you!" Sophia yelled at him.

Colin shot her a glance, but continued, "Refund her ticket, and give her a week\'s leave."

Sophia put the bowl on the table and grabbed the phone from Colin\'s hand. "I\'m going back to Z Country tomorrow!"

She couldn\'t afford to take any more leaves. All her bonuses would disappear!

How could she support father without her bonus?

"Give me back my phone." Colin reached out a hand.

Sophia put his phone to her ear. "Mr. Ji, I will return to work the day after tomorrow. Please don\'t listen to Mr. Li. Thank you!"

Wade wanted to say something, but Sophia hung up the phone.

Wade felt frustrated. Did Sophia have any idea about what she was doing? Mr. Li wanted to go out on a holiday with her!

After hanging up the phone, Sophia let out a sigh of relief and handed the phone back to Colin. "If you have to stay in A Country for a while, I can go back on my own."

After all, she had traveled alone last time. She was an expert with the airports now.

Colin restrained his anger as he tried to explain to her, "I want to take a few days off, and I want to spend it with you. We can travel abroad along with some friends of mine."

Travel abroad?

Sophia shook her head. "You can go with your friends on your own. After all, our marriage isn\'t real. I don\'t think it\'s proper for us to travel together."

Colin was angry and frustrated. Taking several deep breaths, he gritted his teeth and shouted at her.

"Get out!"

Sophia quietly obeyed. But before she went out of the room, she turned back, and said, "The bowl of noodles is for you. Have some f

“Who does she think she is? I won’t marry her even if she is the last woman on earth,” said Hiram Rong.

“Marry into a family with tens of billions of assets? How lucky I am! I won’t be so foolish as to break off the engagement. At worst, I can receive money as part of the divorce settlement,” said Rachel Ruan.

Their great-grandfathers made a pact about their engagement a hundred years ago...

t anything, just tell the servants. You don\'t have to cook yourself. It\'s already tiring for you to go to work everyday." Fussing as if she was Sophia\'s actual mother, Wendy couldn\'t help striding towards her and straightening the collar of her coat.

Sophia hugged her. "I will! Take care, mom!"

"Have a good trip!"

...

As soon as Sophia returned to Z Country, she became busy again. Before she left the hospital, she told Aaron to buy a mobile phone with the money she gave him, so they could get in touch with each other more easily.

After buying a phone, Aaron called Sophia and she saved his number.

Since then, they started using cellphones contacting each other regularly. Sophia also had video calls with Aaron and Jay from time to time to make sure her dad was recovering.

On the third day after her arrival, Sophia heard a colleague cry out in surprise while having lunch in the dining hall. "Guys! Look at this! Mr. Li is in today\'s headline! Something happened between him and Leila Ji!"

"Are you serious? Let me have a look! ... Oh! It\'s real!"

"Oh my god... Is Leila Ji Mr. Li\'s wife? Look, here\'s a picture! Mr. Li was carrying her on his back!"

...

Hearing that, Sophia lost her appetite.

She took her phone out from her pocket. When she opened Weibo, she clicked on a piece of news that had been mentioned in today\'s hot topics.

Along with the report came nine paparazzi photos of the Colin and Leila.
