Chapter 1165 He’s Already Married!
Herring had cock blocked him… There was no other way to put it.. If it hadn't been for his interruption, he would have been with his wife last night. Damn Herring had ruined it all. He'd have to have his revenge.
"You're Shelly's brother, shouldn't you at least research this model guy before you let them date? You don't know anything about him!" This was the only excuse Herring could think of to prevent Colin calling Shelly, and to prevent Shelly being with another man.
Colin raised his eyebrows and squinted down at Herring. "My uncle already investigated his background. He went back three generations. His parents are president and vice president of a bank, and his grand parents were distinguished teachers. His family background is as squeaky clean as it gets."
Shelly's father didn't have particularly high expectations for his son-on-law. As long as the son-in-law came from a decent family and was good to Shelly, he was happy. Financial background was unimportant to him.
Herring cast a pensive glance at Colin. "Why are you on this guy's side?"
"You think I should be on your side? Really? You think I would introduce my sister to a man who flips through girls like pages in a book? To a man who is after a forest, not a single tree?" Colin pulled his phone from Herring's grasp and set it aside.
He pulled out two cigarettes, lit both, and handed one to Herring.
Herring, clearly in a bad mood, smoked silently. Likewise with Colin. Depressed for different reasons, both men were already having terrible days.
About 10 minutes passed in this manner. Both men remained silent, quietly smoking their cigarettes.
"Knock, knock, knock!" There was someone at the office door.
"Come in!"
It was Serena. She pushed the door open, and with a nervous look she said, "Mr. Colin… Miss Chiao and Miss Lo are in a fight.. Miss Ji isn't around.. So I had to come to get you.."
Colin and Herring traded looks at each other, then quickly trotted out of the office.
When they got to the secretaries' area, Sophia's scream pierced Colin's eardrums like an ice pick. "… Ah! I guess I forgot to mention that he's already married! Yeah, that's right! If you really want you can have him.. But you'll never be more than his mistress! I wonder what his wife would do to his new little side thing.."
The atmosphere in the secretaries' office was chilly to say the lest. Jamie looked at Sophia with a look of bewilderment.
The Mighty Soldier King is back!
With the original intention to protect his beautiful boss, he accidentally gets involved in dangerous adventures and trouble.
Will our Mighty Soldier King be defeated? Or will he sweep away all obstacles?
an exaggeration.
For Sophia, she hadn't really slandered Jamie at all. She had merely expressed her true feeling on the issue.
"Miss Lo, that's a big lie.." Jamie was beginning to tear up. Any man seeing her like this would have instantly tried to comfort her.
Colin cooly stopped the two women, preventing further conflict.
But Jamie and Sophia shut their mouths and sat in silence.
"Miss Lo, you got into a fight in the workplace. Do you have no regard for our company's rules?" Colin's icy stare focused on Sophia's astonished face.
Sophia clenched her first and set her jaw, apologizing to him begrudgingly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Li."
It was the same as the last time. Nothing happened to Jamie even though Colin had learnt all the facts.
He was showing obvious favoritism.
"I want you to go back to your desk and copy the company HR guidelines ten times. Hand it to me by tomorrow morning."
Ten times!
Sophia recalled the HR guidelines. It was simply a manuscript! She suddenly felt dizzy.
Finished with Sophia, Colin turned to Jamie. "And, Miss Chiao."
"Yes, Mr. Li?" Jamie's tone was soft and flirtatious.
Sophia felt sick. She never understood what men liked about this type of woman.
"When you joined the company, who interview you? Who brought you in?" Before this moment, Colin hadn't reflected on the fact that Jamie was only a high school graduate. A low-tier high school graduate.. For Sophia's sake, Colin had done a little research on Jamie. He had been very surprised at learning this about Jamie. What luck, it seemed, for Jamie to find herself at such a prestigious company?
