Colin was so affectionate that Dorothy forgot to complain about Sophia.

Sophia felt her emotions flare up. She found that whenever she saw Colin, she couldn't keep her head. Controlling her emotions in front of the crowd, she turned around and went out.

Hugh kept reminding her that she should give up on Colin, but she never did. It seems he was right, it was time for her to let go...

Outside the office, Sophia got into Hugh's car. The car slowly drove away. Depressed, she asked in a low voice, "Can we go for a drink? Hugh?"

"Okay." Hugh turned the car around and headed for the Cruise Ship No. 8.

They found a table in the hall on the sixth floor. To drown her sorrows, Sophia ordered a Manhattan Cocktail. Since Hugh had to drive afterwards, he ordered a non-alcoholic drink.

The lead singer onstage was a famous local singer who was specially invited. He sang an emotional rendition of Zhaodu's "Chengdu."

Hearing the answer, Sophia laid her eyes on Hugh as she grew nervous with anticipation. "Is there a reason?"

The anticipation flickering in Sophia's eyes made Hugh smile bitterly. He nodded as he suggested, "You need to cultivate your relationship with Brody."

Brody... Sophia smiled sadly as she took another sip from her glass. "Colin doesn't want me to approach him!"

He even went to her to personally warn her twice because she was so close to Ambrose.

"Don't think about Colin, we're talking about you and Brody."

She didn't know if she should follow Hugh's advice, she was afraid... She didn't even know what she was afraid of. She was just afraid.
