Trapped with the CEO

Colin looked at the sleeping Sophia. She had a lovely face. But her indifference bothered him.

Was it because she had been in prison for one and a half years? Had her time made her indifferent?

He lifted her left hand that had been resting on her abdomen. A thin layer of gauze was wrapped around her wrist, and her fingertips were covered in red burns.

Colin wondered whether he would have liked Sophia had they not been forced into this marriage.

And the answer was obvious: No.

To him, she seemed to be angry and in search of revenge.

Not only that, during her time at his company, he knew that she had been hesitant to interact with her colleagues.

She was not bad at socializing, just unwilling.

She was very serious about her work, studious, and keen to take advice from others.

He knew she worked hard because she wanted to be stronger, more powerful. She was ambitious.

In doing so, she would have the means to match, if not defeat her enemies.

......

Colin wasn't drawn to her strength and attitude. He hoped his future partner would be simple and obedient.

When he left, he told the nurse to watch the time and remember to change Sophia's IV drip.

At four o' clock, Sophia finally woke. Since she had missed lunch, she felt ravenous.

She looked around, and saw that her room was empty. Colin had left.

On the table next to her bed, lay three empty IV bottles.

As she sat up in bed, a nurse walked in and said, "Miss Lo, you're awake."

"Yes, thank you. I'm leaving the hospital now."

"Sure, you can leave if you're feeling better. There's food in the microwave. Others brought you lunch at noon. You should eat something before you go!" The nurse pointed at the microwave nearby.

Sophia was too hungry to think about who had brought her lunch. She was so hungry, she didn't want to refuse the meal, "Okay, thank you. I will eat first."

"You are welcome, Miss Lo. If you are feeling better now, I'll take my leave."

"Okay, bye."

When Sophia returned to the villa after checking out from the hospital, Wendy was not home. Colin had asked the servants to show her around Country Z.

Back in her ro

Falling from nobility, Zen Luo became a humble slave and served as a human punchbag for his former cousins. Inadvertently, he found a way to refine himself into a weapon and a legend started because of that. With a strong belief in never surrender, he strove for revenges and pursued big dreams. Warriors from various clans contended for hegemony and the world was stirred. Relying on the body that was comparable to a powerful weapon, Zen beat his numerous enemies on his way to the immortality. Would he succeed eventually?

for her to live in.

There was also a cafeteria at the company. She didn't have to eat take-out.

Wendy waved her hand, "Don't eat take-out. It's neither clean nor is it healthy. I will cook for you."

She didn't give Sophia a chance to refuse her offer. Wendy walked to the refrigerator and began collecting ingredients.

Sophia sniffed at the affectionate gesture and watched Wendy with teary eyes.

Why was mom so nice to her? She could feel her motherly love.

Sophia took a deep breath. She went to Wendy, "Mom, could you teach me how to cook?"

"It's okay. You don't have to cook at home." Wendy stirred the eggs deftly.

Sophia shook her head, intending to make Wendy happy, "I have to. So I can... I can cook for Colin!"

As expected, Wendy smiled, "Oh, okay, I will teach you."

She was happy not because Sophia wanted to learn how to cook, but because she thought that the relationship between the two was making progress if Sophia wanted to learn to cook for Colin.

When Colin returned later that night, he saw his mother and wife busy cooking in the kitchen.

He also heard Sophia cried out in surprise, "Mom! This tastes so good! What dish it is?"

Wendy laughed out loud. "You little foodie. This is mom's best dish, crab cream and mushroom. My best vegan dish is assorted bean curd. I know you like fish. Tomorrow I will go to the supermarket and buy some so that I can cook it for you tomorrow evening."
