Trapped with the CEO

Chapter 1156 Have You Lost Your Mind



Colin moved hastily to support Sophia. As Dorothy looked to be running out of energy, Colin had wanted to help. He didn't expect that Payne would come so quickly to her aid.

Sophia shifted in Colin's arms awkwardly, her hand covering her injured leg. It was her heart that hurt the most.

Payne and Sophia had met when they were only 16 years old. Even then, there had been the bullies, constantly mocking her figure.

Colin didn't care about her weight though. Even as the petite-framed Sophia tipped the scales at 160 pounds. Payne would hold her in his arms and whisper words of love in her ears. Even from a young age, he had promised to marry her.

In 11th grade, the couple began formally dating.

In College the couple was forced apart, with Payne attending College in D City, while Sophia stayed in A Country, patiently awaiting his return.

Like all young lovers, she wrote him daily. Often skipping class to visit him. When he would fly out for the semester, she would watch his plane leaving the runway, tears in her eyes.

Payne's college classmates would make fun of him. "She's huge, " they would say, "a real whale!. Shouldn't she go on a diet or something? How do your arms even fit around her?"

Payne would reply calmly, simply, "I just like full women."

...

But Sophia wasn't the only girl in Payne's life. In College, Payne met Dorothy, the daughter of a wealthy family. Young and passionate, she quickly fell for him.

Dorothy made the trip to D City frequently. But Sophia trusted Payne. After all, he had always been fiercely loyal to her.

But when Sophia was a sophomore… One day Dorothy came to flaunt her relationship with Payne. This new development put pressure on the Lo Family.

Only a few days after, Dorothy added insult to injury, and did something unbelievable.

Things turned violent when Dorothy accidentally stabbed a maidservant during a fight with Sophia. Payne had arrived just in time to see the scene unfold.

Seeing him, Dorothy immediately threw the knife away.

Even though he saw Dorothy holding the knife, Payne testified against Sophia. Sophia was immediately incarcerated.

Lucky for Sophia, the mai

When her sister ran away from the wedding, Autumn was forced to marry Charles.

His name had been linked to innumerable ladies.

He had different girlfriends for every day of a year.

Autumn had never thought that she would fall in love with him.

ht mood left the room light air from a ballon. She put her hands on her hips and replied coldly, "Thank you, Mr. Li, for everything. I'll be on my way now."

In all the commotion she had almost forgot her main goal - to get a divorce!

Colin was surprised at the sudden change in Sophia. Just like that, she stood up and left the room.

What kind of an attitude was this to have towards one's boss?

Back in the Meeting Room

"Oh my god, dear. Are you OK?" Ignoring the pain in her neck, Dorothy tried to help Payne to his feet.

Dorothy truly loved Payne.

Their love was a bit of a mystery. She was, after all, a daughter of the prestigious Lian family. Payne on the other hand, was nothing special. At times Payne could even be a coward. What was she doing with a man with nothing at all to give her?

"I think my arm is broken.." Payne was pale. He had been caught off guard by Colin's sudden brutality.

"Let's go to the hospital!"

"O.K." Supporting each other, the couple left the meeting room. The secretaries stole glances at them as the walked out of the office.

In the elevator, thinking back to what Colin had said, Dorothy asked Payne. "Does Colin really have as much power as he says?"

Payne answered grimly, "Yes, he is not only supported by SL, but also Herring and someone else. I don't know who it is yet, but it's something greater even.. Colin is backed by friends in high places. He is a powerful man indeed."
