Chapter 30 A Snitch (2/2)

They walked out of the bar and headed to the cars. Herring asked the chauffeur to drop Colin off Sophia's place.

”Thanks Herring, sorry about cutting our night short. After an earful from the mother, my mood was ruined.”

Colin chuckled in embarrassment, although Herring knew too well that Colin wasn't in the mood from the beginning.

”No worries. Family comes first.” And he got into his car and left.

Colin entered the car and twenty minutes later, he was at Sophia's place. He got out of the car and reached into his pocket for the keys to the front door.

He fiddled with opening the front door, as his hand kept on slipping. He blamed it on the anger that was simmering below the surface. Sophia lived in a big house so it took him a while to locate her.

Plus she had a habit of sleeping in different rooms in the house.

That woman has a lot of weird habits, Colin thought, as his anger spilled into murmuring by himself.

On the fourth floor, a room at the far corner light was on. He figured that Sophia would have been inside there.

He walked up to the door, went to open it, but the door wouldn't budge.

He knocked on the door. ”Sophia... Sophia... Open this door. Sophia... ” After a few minutes of silence, Colin began impatiently knocking on the door. Louder this time.

”Sophia... I swear, if you are ignoring me... Sophia!” Colin nearly broke the door down Meanwhile, inside the room, Sophia was wide awake. She wasn't sure what to do.

After calling Colin's mother and telling her what had occurred that evening, Some of it anyway, She lay in bed wondering when Colin was going to do. When she heard him walking up the stairs to her room, She sat up in bed and waited. Sophia knew he was angry, But she didn't feel like opening the door.

She stood up and peeped through the peephole

She could see that his impatience had turned into anger.

Had she waited too long?

” Sophia, I know you are in there. Open the door!” His voice was louder this time. Why was he so loud!

She struggled on whether to let him in or not.

She had no idea what he would do to her.

She reached for the bedroom key and turned to open the door. Colin stormed in, a bright flash of anger across his face.

”Mr. Li, why have you come?” Sophia left the door open, just in case she had to kick him out.

Colin didn't answer her, But looked around the bedroom.

Spacious and brightly colored, Sophia had a great sense of style.

Even though the room was simply furnished, with only a bed, a closet, a table and two chairs, The small additions, flowers, decorations, paintings and the candles, made the room feel very warm and inviting. Sophia watched Colin surveyor the bedroom.

Sophia was confused as to why he was looking at the room with such intensity.

Then he turned his gaze on her. He began to walk towards her.

Sophia's heart started to race as she wasn't sure what he was going to do. His hands grabbed at her waist, as he drew their bodies closer to each other.

This surprised Sophia. ”So you stuck to your threat and called mother, didn't you?” Colin said it more than a statement than a question.

She shrugged and said, ”So?”

Colin sneered, ”Sophia, I'm surprised that you would rat me out!”

Colin was surprised at her boldness. 'What an interesting girl!' thought Colin.

”You are surprised? Well me too.” That statement was true. Sophia did not know why she would call her mother either. It was just a spur of the moment thing.

”Apologize!” demanded Colin. After saying those words, Colin took a few steps forward to close in on her.

Sophia, on the other hand, was amused at his childish temper tantrum.

”Mr. Li, for a wealthy employer, you sure know how to bully your employee. What a pathetic little man you are.”

Surprisingly, Colin was not at all incensed by her words. Instead, he walked straight into her room, threw his coat onto the coach and lay down on her bed.
