Chapter 36 Lightning Will Strike You, If You Tell Lies

In the conference room, all executives were whispering to each other. Such emergency meetings were not a common phenomenon. What was even more surprising was that this was the second such meeting since the company's launch.

Silence engulfed the conference room when Colin walked in.

At the sight of his bruised lips, whispers soared again. Colin glared at the executives till everyone was quiet again.

Without further ado, Colin said, "Dear colleagues, a scandal has happened in our company recently."

The whispers began again. "The company is so young. Why there is another scandal?"

"Who knows? Let's listen to Colin and talk about it later!"

Glancing around, Colin asked, "Where is Quincy?"

When Quincy heard his name, his heart missed a beat. He slowly stood up from his seat. "Mr. Li!"

"Someone has anonymously complained that Mr. Qu abused his power to molest several female employees at our company, causing physical and mental harm to them! These accusations have been proven during an investigation. And it has caused adverse effects. We are here to deliberate over Mr. Qu's behavior! Whether he will leave or not depends on your vote!"

Just then, the conference room bubbled with more whispers. Quincy noticed that everyone was looking at him strangely.

Quincy was nervous. His face pale turned pale, and he broke out in a cold sweat, "Mr. Li... I've been wrongly accused... How could it be?"

He looked around, and his eyes met Sophia's. Quincy understood who had complained. He stopped trembling and became confident. "Mr. Li, it was Sophia, wasn't it? When Sophia asked me for leave, I didn't approve. Then, she tried to seduce me and threatened me with dire consequences. I still didn't give in! But I did not expect that she would make a false countercharge!"

Sophia was not perturbed by Quincy's ridiculous claims.

"Mr. Qu, lightning will strike you, if you tell lies!" When Sophia spoke, Quincy became afraid. She continued, "Mr. Qu, I remember clearly what you said to me in the office. You took my hand and said that you would approve of my leave application only if I agreed to have an affair with you! God sees everything. Mr. Qu, did you think about that before speaking?"

Compared to Quincy's d

When her boyfriend betrayed her, all light and joy was gone from Cherry’s life. Deserted, bereft of hope, she married a man that she had barely met, but she had never expected him to be her ex-boyfriend’s uncle.

Cherry thought that she had finally found her happiness, but she had no idea about the dark secrets that were bound to unfold and haunt her forever...

idn't you notice that Miss Chiao did not come to lunch today? Her face bloated to the size of a basketball!"

"Didn't you say that Miss Chiao was having a relationship with Mr. Li? Won't he do something?"

"Who knows! The staff in the secretary's office are so tight-lipped. They won't say anything even after being asked many times!"

"I see! When Mr. Li comforted Miss Chiao, she was so angry that she bit Mr. Li's lips!"

Everyone was suddenly excited. They had finally come to a mutually agreeable conclusion about the mystery behind the condition of Mr. Li's lips.

Obviously, no one believed that Colin was married...

They talked about Mr. Li's lips with such keenness that Sophia who had been listening with equal enthusiasm didn't notice that she had finished eating her bowl of noodles.

She smirked at the conclusion that Mr. Li's lips had been bitten by Miss Chiao.

Sophia cleaned up her leftovers and was about to leave when she heard something that stopped her.

"Oh! Is that Miss Lo?" Sophia groaned when she recognized the shrill female voice.

Sophia turned round and looked at the female colleague who had said that Colin and Jamie were in a relationship. She replied indifferently, "Miss Yuen, is there something you need from me?"

Eugenia Yuen had a good relationship with Jamie. It could be concluded that Eugenia knew everything that Jamie knew.

And Eugenia was a meddlesome lady. Sophia wouldn't be surprised if Eugenia spread gossip around the office.
