Trapped with the CEO

The coffee had been scalding hot. Sophia Lo nursed her red and swollen wrist, and grit her teeth.

She had been wearing a white shirt, and now, it was soaked to the skin with coffee. In a word, she looked and felt a mess.

Her face grew even paler, but she ignored Jamie and apologized, "I'm sorry to interrupt. Please continue with the meeting. I'll clean up now."

"Miss Lo, you can't even do a trivial thing like serving coffee well. How can you be a CEO's secretary?" Said Colin primly.

Tears welled up in Sophia's eyes. She raised her head and blinked back the tears.

Sophia Lo! Be strong, don't cry! "I'm sorry Mr. Li, I'll clean it up now. I'm so sorry!"

As Sophia walked away, Colin frowned.

In the bathroom, Sophia put her wrist under cold water. In that moment, she lowered her head and allowed her tears to fall into the sink.

A minute later, she brushed away her tears with the back of her hand. Determined not to show any weakness, she put on a professional appearance and went into the cleaning room.

Despite the painful burn on her wrist, she cleaned the mess at the door of the meeting room.

After she was done, Sophia went to the infirmary on the third floor and sought treatment for her wrist injury. The woman doctor told her, "Here, we can only give you basic first-aid. You still have to go to the hospital later. If you start feeling feverish, you will need to go to the hospital."

Sophia nodded, "I see. Thank you."

After leaving the infirmary, Sophia went to the supervisor of the secretarial department to ask for leave.

According to company policy, she should ask the manager of the secretarial department when she needed time away from work. But the manager was in a conference upstairs, so she asked the supervisor instead.

Hearing that she was going to the hospital and seeing her apparent wrist injury, the supervisor quickly agreed.

Sophia felt very unwell. Without changing clothes, she took her handbag and hurried to the hospital.

Sophia was apprehensive. She was not familiar with Country Z.

She had never been to Z Country before. And ever since her arrival, she had been working at

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex. To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him. "As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses.”She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women...

ou are taking me back to work?"

"Colin Li, I need to know what you are thinking! I'll tell you what. Unless mother says so, I won't do what you want!" He couldn't wait to divorce her, and it seemed like the feeling was mutual.

For two people who didn't like each other, it was really a kind of invisible torture for them to be bound together.

"Put me down, Colin. I can go back to work after finishing this IV bottle." Before she could finish, Sophia was silenced by what she saw.

She was in an empty room.

Colin put her down on the hospital bed, and the nurse locked the IV bottle onto the stand.

So he had left to complete her admission procedures?

Somewhat embarrassed, she covered her face with the thin quilt he had put over her. When the nurse left, she whispered, "Thank you, Mr. Li."

"Don't flatter yourself. If you can't be home on time, mother will ask questions. And I'm tired of answering her questions."

"......" The mixed feelings Sophia had felt, left along with her gratitude.

Sophia did not speak again, and she found herself too sleepy to keep her eyes open. The room was quiet, and she soon fell asleep.

From the bed came the sound of Sophia's rhythmic breathing, and Colin, with his hands in his pockets, walked from the window to the front of the bed.

Sophia's eyes were closed, her round face was slightly pale from the discomfort she was feeling, and her lips were parted slightly.
