Chapter 87 Company Gossip
"Why not?" Sophia wasn't convinced.
"Because I'm your husband!" Colin declared it so seriously and aggressively, It was like he was
obsessed with Sophia. Seizing the opportunity, Colin kissed her and threw her onto the bed.
"Colin, tell me the truth... Have you slept with other women?" She stared intensely at her husband on
top of her.
Colin shook his head. "Not everyone is as frivolous as you are." Leaving no room for protest, he kissed
her red lips.
'Bastard, you keep sullying my name!' Sophia thought to herself.
That evening, Sophia behaved enthusiastically. She remembered her goal of getting pregnant with
Colin's child, divorcing him, and letting the child be raised by another man.
It's a pity that Sophia got her period two days later.
...
She kept herself fit before her prison sentence. But the dark and damp prison tortured her heavily,
making her get horrible cramps whenever she got her period.
In the past, she would file for a 2-day leave and lay in bed until the pain subsided.
But this time... Since she just took a 3-day leave, she didn't want to ask for another one.
Fortunately, Herring wasn't in his private consultant's office. Whenever the pain became too
unbearable, she would take a rest at his office desk.
It took a great deal of effort for her to get a glass of hot water. She fell asleep holding the glass.
At noon, she was too weak to have lunch at the canteen.
With so much money from Colin, she should use it to get a check-up in the hospital and take good care
of herself until she got rid of the severe pain.
Making up her mind, Sophia ordered takeout using her mobile phone.
Soon, the food was delivered downstairs. Because of the company's security, Sophia had to come
down to the ground floor and pick up her food.
For some reason, disgusted and contemptuous glances from her colleagues followed her the whole
way.
Regardless of Sophia's pale face, an older woman approached her and said sardonically, "You're the
secretary of the president, aren't you? How could you show your face around here?"
"You're a shameless mistress of an old man, who also flirts with other men. How can I work with such a
slut?"
Sophia stood still and looked at the two women swearing at her. "What did you say?"
"Your affairs disgust me. Becoming the mistress of an old man, and flirting with other male colleagues.
Secretary Sophia, you have no sense of shame at all!" A beautiful receptionist looked at Sophia
disdainfully. Because her husband had cheated on her, she particularly hated mistresses.
Being so angry, she put the company policy on gossip aside. She sneered at Sophia, easing the anger
in her heart.
Taking her takeout food, Sophia approached the receptionist. "Miss Ren, do you have any evidence
proving that I'm a mistress of an old man and that I have affairs with other men?"
A large crowd was gathering around them. It was lunch time, and some colleagues couldn't resist
stopping to watch.
At the question, Jamie coldly said from the crowd, "What kind of evidence are you looking for? Didn't
your old man buy the large diamond ring you're wearing now? A rich boyfriend? How ridiculous!"
"Secretary Sophia, don't you know about the post on Twitter?" Someone nearby whispered to Sophia.
Sophia wasn't aware about what's going on in Twitter. She took out her mobile phone and logged into
her account.
A popular post from a anonymous author read, "Sophia, a mistress flirting with male colleagues from
the company."
According to the post, Sophia was absolutely disgraceful and would do anything for money.
Additionally, several pictures were attached in the post.
In the photos, Sophia was intimately embraced by a man whose face was obscured.
The pictures were shot at the underground parking lot of the office.
Whoever shot the pictures didn't dare confront Colin, but had the guts to attack her.
Why was Colin's face obscured? Were they afraid of Colin tracking them down and punishing them?
The people following the post furiously condemned her.
Sophia closed her mobile phone, her anger overwhelming her pain. She tried to stay calm.
She walked to Jamie and slapped her across the face. The sound echoed loudly in the room.
The crowd was aghast at Secretary Sophia hitting someone.
"Sophia, are you mad?" Jamie cupped her face and looked at Sophia incredulously. Sophia's slap
made her furious.
Sophia smiled wryly, and opened one of the pictures on her phone. The corner of the image showed
the edge of red-laced clothes.
Red clothes could be worn by anybody. But who else would wear red-laced clothes other than Jamie?
Jamie exposed herself.
Sophia pointed at a corner of the picture. "Secretary Jamie, do we need to go through the CCTV
tapes?"
Jamie's facial expression changed as she cursed her stupidity. "Yes, I took those pictures. But despite Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
being engaged, you flirt with male colleagues. That's the absolute truth."
Sophia smiled. "You're wrong. I'm not engaged, I'm married."
"What?" The crowd was confused and wondered what Sophia meant. Did she just say that she cheated
on her husband? Wasn't that a more severe and disgraceful affair?
"You shameless woman. How could you be disloyal to your husband and seduce other men?"
"Yes, I used to think Sophia was a good person. How could she do such horrible things?"
"Everyone was misled. She's self-centered and thinks too highly of herself!"
Sophia noticed a man standing behind the crowd, frowning and looking at her intensely.
Sophia shot Colin a challenging look before she turned to question Jamie, "Secretary Jamie, do you
know which male colleague I was seducing?"
Jamie was too frightened to reveal Colin's identity.
"His name is unimportant." "You cheated on your husband and seduced other men. How could your
husband not beat you to death?"
"Do you have any evidence that I'm being disloyal to my husband? Secretary Jamie, did you come here
to work or simply make trouble for me? Have you forgotten that the president forbade gossip in the
company? Are you challenging the president's authority?" The last sentence was intended to get back
at Jamie.
When Sophia arrived late for a meeting in the past, Jamie scolded her publicly with these words.
Jamie was more familiar with these words than anyone else. She countered, "You're talking nonsense.
How am I challenging the president's authority? Should I remind you how the president treated you
before? You were punished to clean the toilets!"
Since gossip was prohibited in the company, hardly anyone knew about this. But after Jamie
announced it publicly, it caused an uproar.
