Her Life Starts to Spin out of Control novel Chapter 11

"Excuse me?

Do you think you're Mrs. Li? Or his girlfriend?"

Sophia walked past Jamie and stopped at the office closet.

Jamie rolled her eyes, and replied to Sophia with contempt. "So far, neither. But not for long.."

Jamie firmly believed in her power of seduction. If she wanted a man, there was nothing he could do.

"Then how about you keep your slander to yourself until you are, " Sophia sneered.

By sneering, Sophia was also making a statement about her status.

She was Colin's wife, but she had never seduced him.

Suddenly, Sophia felt a hand pull hard on her shoulder. As she turned, a palm landed square on the side of her cheek.

Heh!

This must be Karma!

She had slapped Colin the night before, and now, just a day later, she was the one being slapped.

The three other secretaries watched with a look of horror on their faces. They knew that Jamie was proud and defiant.

But this was extreme!

"Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that!"

After slapping Sophia on the face, Jamie felt much better. Her anger seemed to fade as the redness drained from her face.

Sophia covered her aching cheek with one hand and rubbed it occasionally. "Miss Chiao, has it ever occurred to you that we are the same rank at this company? We do the same job, have the same responsibilities and share the same title?

"You're no different than me!"

Sophia then pulled out her work clothes and ignored Jamie while she put them on.

"Jamie, you'd better pray there is never a day when you work for me."

When Jamie heard Sophia say they were the same, she felt the sudden impulse to slap her again. Luckily, Gillian Ho interrupted, "Miss Chiao, it's already 7:50, you'd better get ready for the meeting."

This interruption stopped Jamie from doing more, and she angrily stomped out of the room in her eight-centimeter heels.

Afterwards, alone in the dressing room, Sophia felt her burning cheek. It must be beginning to swell, she thought to herself.

As for Gillian, well, she owed her one.

Sophia quickly change her clothes before heading out to the secretary's office. It was Gillian's turn to go to the meeting with Colin today.

When she arrived at the office, Gillian went out with some of the meeting materials.

"Miss Ho."

Gillian was busy sorting through the meetings documents. She raised her head and smiled at Sophia.

"Thank you, Miss Ho."

Sophia managed a smile back at her.

Gillian shook her head, "No worries."

The door of the CEO's office opened and Colin walked out. "Your cheek is really swollen, are you going to get some treatment for that?"

Colin craned his neck and peered over at the two other secretaries standing not far away from him. Sophia was facing away from him.

What had happened to her cheek?

According to his recollection, it was him who had been slapped. Not the other way around..

"I have a few emails to attend to first, then I'll go to the infirmary."

Sophia nodded to Gillian.

A man's voice spoke, "Miss Lo."

Sophia turn in the direction of the voice instinctively and heard him calling her.

It was Colin.

"Mr. Li."

She greeted him coldly.

The outline of a hand was obvious against the white of her cheek. Colin fixed his gaze on it. "What are you doing here? Whose turn is it for today's meeting?"
