"Welcome, Mr. Li!" The warm greeting from the chairman drew Colin's attention.

Colin shook Mr. Wen's hand and reciprocated his warm smile. "Mr. Wen, congratulations on 30 years of Simon's leadership."

"Thank you, Mr. Li.."

After the brief greeting, Mr. Wen left to mingle with the other attendees.

Colin took a sip from the glass of red wine Herring had given him. Unintentionally, Colin's gaze once again fixated on the women in red.

"Colin, bro. Why don't you introduce your girl?" Herring's good mood didn't seem to do much for Colin. Who held his gaze on Sophia, who was now heading downstairs.

Colin's eyes seemed to pierce the flesh. Sophia fell naked under his gaze.

With Colin remaining silent, the woman on his arm spoke up with a smile on her face. "Hello Mr. Huo, I've heard so much about you. I'm Colin's companion for the evening. My name is Nancy Wen."

Herring whistled through his teeth. "And how have I never heard of you?" So you're the third Wen girl, huh? I always heard that the third daughter was transcendently beautiful. I have to say that the reputation seems to be well earned."

Nancy blushed and looked down at the ground. Both of these men were exceptional among men. She would be happy to be with either one.

Herring felt a pair of eyes on him. He turned and thought he saw a woman in the corner turn and walk away.

Wanting to learn more, Herring loosened his grip on Sophia and said, "Little Sophia, I have a matter to deal with. I should be back soon, please wait here for me."

With this, Herring hurried after the woman quickly.

Sophia suddenly felt abandoned. She looked helplessly as Herring faded into the crowd.

Her eyes briefly met Colin's, but he walked away from her with Nancy.

...

Sophia was now alone in the crowd.

As she familiarized herself with the high heels, she headed to the dessert area.

A man to her side suddenly came up to her. "Hello beautiful lady, are you alone tonight?"

Sophia, who had just taken a bite of cake, quickly swallowed hard. She looked the man in his eyes and said, "No, I am not. I'm just waiting for my friend."

Sophia did not recognize the man. She smiled at him politely but turned her attention away from the stranger.

The man, however, failed to take Sophia's signal, and began to move closer to her.copy right hot novel pub
