Trapped with the CEO

The waiter thought for a while. "Miss, if you want to taste the devil pepper, I can ask the cook to put one into the dish. Three devil peppers at the most."

"Good. I want three peppers in the dish." Sophia had tried four devil peppers in a dish before. Thinking the devil peppers here might be a different spicier kind, Sophia asked for three devil peppers.

Colin blew out a smoke as the waiter left. "It's not healthy for the stomach if you eat too much spicy food."

Sophia took a sip of lemonade. "I'm okay."

She liked eating spicy food a lot and her tongue had gotten used to the taste of pepper.

"Why didn't you pick up my call?" Colin hadn't forgotten what happened that afternoon.

Sophia smiled. "Mr. Li, I didn't want to spoil your beautiful date."

Colin's eyes darkened. "We were not on a date. There were several other people there too. For the last time, Leila and I are not in that kind of relationship!"

"You don't have to explain it to me." Sophia meant that he didn't have to lie to her because she could figure it out by herself.

The man flicked away some cigarette ash and looked at her lightly. "Sophia, please don't make me mad."

Sophia's eyes widened at his words. How could he say that she made him mad? On the contrary, Colin was the one making her mad! Colin was good at changing the facts.

Sophia dropped the topic. She didn't want to say anything about it any more. All she wanted to do now was eat, then go home early for a good rest.

She was quiet, but Colin broke the silence. "I've decided to send Aaron to high school to study again."

Sophia shook her head. "Now is not the right time to send him to school. If I were in A Country, he could go to school. Are you letting me go back to A Country?"

Forget it, she shouldn't have said anything.

Colin took a deep drag on the cigarette. "One year!"

He would bring her back after one year.

"Okay." Sophia let out a sigh. She was worried about her father in A Country.

Sophia's phone rang, breaking the short silence in the room.

It was a call from a stranger.

She answered the phone curiously. "Hello."

A deaf

When her boyfriend betrayed her, all light and joy was gone from Cherry’s life. Deserted, bereft of hope, she married a man that she had barely met, but she had never expected him to be her ex-boyfriend’s uncle.

Cherry thought that she had finally found her happiness, but she had no idea about the dark secrets that were bound to unfold and haunt her forever...

lion and buy whatever you want. Don't think of divorcing me after spending it!"

"Then I won't spend it!" Sophia blurted out without thinking.

"Good. You can keep the 30 million." Then he took out a stack of checks from his pocket, wrote many zeros on one, and threw it to Sophia.

If what happened before had taught Colin anything, it was that he shouldn't ask too many questions or the woman would do something stupid.

Sophia was stunned into silence. Did Colin have a secret money-printing factory?

Sophia counted the zeros. Ten, a hundred, a thousand... Fifty million.

The waiter began to serve the dishes and Sophia tried hard to get a handle on her emotions.

She pinched her face and it hurt. The 50-million check was real. In an instant, Sophia felt like flying in the air.

The waiter left and Sophia smirked at Colin. "I'll run away with the check."

"If you stay, you'll have another 50 million, and a third, a fourth..." Colin tempted her slowly.

Fortunately, he found something Sophia that liked.

If he had known earlier, he would've put a stack of checks in her underwear.

Oh my god, four 50-million checks! That's 200 million!

Sophia wanted to run and hug Colin's leg. He was so rich and generous!

Two more dishes were served, and Colin put a glass of fresh juice in front of her. Sophia took a sip and said something that almost made Colin go crazy. "Colin, you can go now!"
