Chapter 70 The President''s Wife Is a Friendly Person
Serena Tao shook her head in bewilderment. "All the women whoe to see the president are our
clients. There''s nothing unusual about that."
Wade nced discreetly at Sophia, who was eating her sushi quietly. She was keeping to herself as
much as possible.
To some extent, Wade liked Sophia. Despite being the president''s wife, she was never cocky. Instead,
she had been keeping a low profile and never looked down on anyone.
Women were very good at talking nonsense, and the topic shifted to Colin and Jamie. Wade cleared
his throat and said, "Stop talking about this. The president is on his way."
Hearing that the president wasing, over twenty women in the traditional Japanese room burst into
an uproar.
Married or not, the women couldn''t help getting excited. They took out their cosmetics and began to
retouch their make-up.
Colin''s marriage was only a rumor, and nobody knew whether it was true or not. Many believed they
still had a chance to marry him.
Beside Sophia, Serena said casually, "Let''s leave a seat for our president!"
"Let the president sit beside me!"
"Beside me!"
"Me!"
...
Everyone moved around vehemently. With a mournful shake of his head, Wade thought to himself that
they didn''t have any chance, as the president''s wife was present.
"Miss Lo, Miss Tao, please move over and make room for the president." The seat that Wade chose
was at the end of the dining table. It was a suitable seat for a host, from which everyone could be seen.
On the left was Sophia, and on the right was a male colleague from the Marketing Department.
Everybody looked at the seat that Wade pointed at with a disappointed look. Some wanted to
exchange seats with Sophia. "Miss Lo, how about exchanging seats?"
"That''s right, Miss Lo. Don''t you have a boyfriend?" Don''t even think about the president. Just switch
seats with us!"
... Trouble could easily be stirred up among women.
Swallowing her salmon, Sophia agreed without protest. "Okay."
She picked up her tableware but was stopped by Wade, who put away his mobile phone. "Be quiet
everyone. Stop moving, Miss Lo. The president ising."
The door was pushed open, revealing Colin in a ck business suit, followed by the manager and the
director of the Public Rtions Department from the other room.
Upon seeing Colin, everyone stood up and greeted him.
Colin smiled slightly and said gently, "That''s alright. Just sit down and help yourself."
Wade guided Colin to the seat prepared in advance. Everybody sat down after Colin took a seat.
Some lively colleagues gingered up the party again. Colin was also in a good mood, smiling faintly as
everyone joked with each other.
Someone asked boldly, "Mr. Li, I heard you got married. Is that true?"
The instant the woman voiced her question, the room went very quiet and looked at Colin.
This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
Only Sophia was the exception, she ate her sashimi nervously. How would Colin answer her?
Colin nced quickly at Sophia, who seemed engrossed in her food, and nodded. "Yes."
Colin''s confirmation blew up the room. Sophia was dumbstruck at the sight of several girls sitting
opposite her, shedding tears silently.
After an encouraging speech, Colin began to toast.
When Sophia quietly moved to go to the bathroom, she was stopped by Wade. "Secretary Lo, where
are you going?"
Everyone looked at Sophia, making her feel embarrassed. Pointing outside, she said, "I''m going to the
bathroom. Please enjoy your meal."
Then Sophia left the room.
She went out from the cubicle and began to wash her hands at the sink.
Walking back to the private room, she saw Colin talking on the phone at the door. Seeing it was
Sophia, Colin fixed his eyes on her.
"... Are you going back the day after tomorrow? What time will the ne take off?"
As Sophia put her hand on the doorknob, she heard Colin say, "Okay, go ahead with your film and be
careful."
ncing at the smiling man, Sophia felt a pang in her heart.
It must be the same person that Colin worried aboutst time.
With a pale face, Sophia walked inside the room where everyone was still talking and joking. Sophia
returned to her seat. She hadpletely lost her appetite.
Colin came back soon. When he sat down, he heard Sophia speaking to Wade. "Mr. Ji, I''ve got loads of
work to do at home, so I''ll go ahead and leave now."
Wade nced at Colin first before looking at Sophia. "Are you full? We''re going to the KTV after dinner.
Won''t you join us?"
With a faint smile, Sophia stood up from her seat. "Yes, I''m full. I''m really sorry, but I have something
else to deal with now. I hope you have a good time!"
"Well, all right. Please take care of yourself." Wade had no choice but to agree.
Sophia left. Some women who found Sophia aloof kept their mouths shut in front of the president.
Serena turned to Gillian next to her, and asked doubtfully, "Miss Lo is usually a friendly person. Why is
she unwilling to join us?"
Gillian nced at Colin, who was talking with the manager of the Public Rtions Department. After
confirming that Colin wasn''t looking at them, she said, "It''s not that Miss Lo doesn''t want to hang out
with us. But there''s someone speaking ill of her behind her back, and many people are hostile towards
her. Maybe she just doesn''t want to curry favor with anyone."
Comprehension dawned on Serena''s face. She nced at Jamie, who was talking cheerfully with
others, in understanding.
After taking a call, Colin left the restaurant.
Colin acted so naturally, that nobody noticed.
Leaving the restaurant, Sophia walked alone to the metro station.
Maybe the woman talking with Colin on the phone was Le Ji, who was spotted dining with him in the
United States. After all, she heard Colin asking her to be careful during filming.
Does he like Le?
Maybe he liked her. Back when Wendy asked them to get married, Colin personally said that he had a
sweetheart...
The more Sophia thought about it, the sadder she became. Standing in front of a bakeshop, she
decided to get rid of her messy thoughts.
Anyway, despite her efforts to improve their rtionship, nothing had changed.
Their rtionship remained as strained as before. Maybe he believed Payne''s words when he said that
she was dirty...
Maybe it was because he liked someone else...
Walking to the bakeshop, Sophia bought a piece of cream cake to go.
She bought the cake for herself.
It was her birthday yesterday.
She only needed a small piece of cake to celebrate.
Nobody remembered her birthday. Having gotten used to the loneliness, she didn''t care much about it.
When she exited the bakeshop, a Porsche stopped in front of her. Sophia noticed that the driver was
Colin.
She subconsciously hid her cake, but Colin noticed her movements.
ncing at the bakeshop behind her, Colin remembered Wendy''s instruction thest time he went
home.
