Chapter 112 The Sprain

"What's up, Victor?" When Karl's gentle voice reached Victor's ear, Victor immediately imagined the
kind expression on his father's face. If it hadn't been for what Jay had just reported to him, Victor would
not have connected the fire with his father!

"Why did you do that?" Victor asked.

And Karl knew Victor well, so Karl knew that Victor would say that. Karl's voice was still calm and
steady. "Really? Is this your first reaction, not to rethink yourself, but to question me? "

Like Victor, Karl didn't concede. It seemed that Victor inherited his father's genes.

"I don't understand why you did that. I have handled everything in the company in a neat and orderly
way. If you hadn't interfered in this cooperation, it had already been concluded!" Victor told truth without
angry.

"Victor, you've got too much gossips lately. I did this to reduce your pressure and give you time to calm
down and think. Everyone will face many temptation in his or her life. It doesn't matter. What's
important is the decision. " "You young people always do something wrong. But you should realize it in
time..."

After hearing what Karl said, Victor understood what happened. Her father wanted to put pressure on
him by carrying out the business of the company, so he tried to force him to give up Sophia.

"Dad, I don't think I made a wrong choice. Now that you don't want to take your orders back, I can do it
on my own," Victor retorted. Then Victor hung up the phone. Since he knew that his father had played a
trick on him in cooperation, Victor had lost all hope. He made this call because he wanted to know the
reason why his father did it and also wanted to test his attitude.



Although Sophia didn't take part in the call, she had gotten to know about it according to what Victor
had said through the phone. It seemed that the gossips were not groundless!

Out of concern, Sophia asked, "Victor, what happened?" Everything happened because of her. She felt
bitter, guilty and ashamed now. If it wasn't Sophia, the power of Victor in the company wouldn't have
been suppressed. He would have taken over all kinds of affairs smoothly, and there wouldn't have been
a legendary successor...

Victor suppressed his anger when he heard Sophia's words and said in a low voice, "it doesn't matter. It
doesn't matter."

It seemed that Victor wasn't willing to pour out his doubts to her. Although Sophia felt a bit of
disappointment, she couldn't interfere too much in the company's internal business. Therefore, she
stopped asking.

But Victor wasn't as relaxed as he said. He put on a cold expression as usual. He showed a memo and
wrote something on it. Then he called his secretary on the company's internal telephone to come to his
office at once.

In less than a minute, the secretary trotted into Victor's office. All of a sudden, a cold voice said,
"arrange an afternoon meeting for our partners."

The secretary took out the notebook and pen from her pocket and wrote it down. However, she looked
up timidly and looked at Victor with embarrassment.

"What's wrong?" "What's wrong?". Victor had planned to order something else, but when he saw the
serious expression on the secretary's face, his anger grew more.

"Mr. Victor, you have two video meetings this afternoon. The time is very urgent and the content is very
important. I'm afraid..." The secretary looked embarrassed. She knew that if she said that to Victor, he



would be angrier, but she had to swallow his anger...

"What are you guys doing! Is that the reason why I work so hard to raise you? "

The secretary was only a young girl around twenty-six years old. She seemed to have never seen her
boss get so angry, and her tender face was full of fear. The secretary found that the boss was staring at
her. She was already overwhelmed by the powerful aura of the boss, and her brain was blank. The
boss seemed to be waiting for her response. She didn't know what to do, so she had to nod her head,
but then shook her head immediately when she felt something wrong.

The most unbearable thing for Victor was the stupefied look on his subordinate's face. He sighed and
waved at his subordinates. "I will put off all the activities!" After that, Victor sat back on the leather chair.
Reluctantly, Victor closed his eyes in an attempt to relax himself. He paused for a second or two and
dialed another number. At this time, his voice had been slightly softened and he said: "Jay, talk with me
to the partner this afternoon. I don't believe that they have the reason not to resist under the powerful
background!"

On the other side of the phone, Jay was also embarrassed. When he was about to say something, he
said, "Victor, this..." Jay was interrupted by the icy commanding tone of Victor, "no matter what
schedule, cancel it! And our cooperation plan is in full course! "

Sophia had kept on listening to the phone calls from Victor. But she was unable to interfere or help him.
She silently walked to Victor's desk, picked up the memo that had fallen on the ground and put it back
on the desk.

Looking this, a tinge of coldness flashed across Victor's deep eyes. He stared at his memo for a long
time. Then, he put the memo in the middle of his jacket.

Sophia couldn't stand Victor's cold attitude towards her. Although she was afraid that the current
situation was bad to everyone. So, she asked carefully, "how are you, Victor?"



With his eyes closed, Victor rubbed between his eyebrows and replied tiredly, "it happens a lot in
business like this, but I'm likely to be very busy during this period." He opened his eyes again and
looked at the time. He got nervous immediately. "I have to go out now." Victor tidied his suit,
straightened his tie and strode out of the office.

Now there was only Sophia left in the office, keeping each other company is the cold air.

During the whole day, Sophia stayed alone in her office. Especially, Victor's office was on the top floor
of the company. Usually, there were only the two of them working here. No one would disturb them if
there was no emergency. The reason why Victor did set it up was that it was convenience for Victor to
see Sophia. They were in the heat of love and looked at each other, eager to be together every second.

But since Victor left the company with a dark face in the morning, the office was empty. It was a hot
summer day and the air conditioner was working. That sent chills to Sophia's skin, which made her
shiver.

When it was time to get off work, Victor had not come back to the company. Staring at the dark gray
wall around with empty eyes, a feeling of loneliness rose in Sophia's heart. Victor liked the simplicity of
the tone, so the decoration of his office was full of coldness everywhere. The main color of the whole
building was grey, and it used to be low-key for Sophia. However, she didn't expect that one day, this
cold gray color was like a lingering shadow, constantly enveloping her

The prompt tone of the mobile phone broke the silence of the office. Sophia opened the text message,
and it read, "Jay and I are going back to the company now, but we might have something to deal with
later. Are you in the company? I'm here to pick you up."

Sophia's mood lifted when she saw the message. Her slender fingers swept across the screen, and
she gently typed a word, "okay." However, it suddenly occurred to Sophia that she had overheard the
discussion among her colleagues in the tea room. She was caught in a dilemma.



After a while, she deleted the word "Okay" and typed on the screen again, "no, I will go back myself."

The message was received immediately. Sophia read, "be careful."

Wearing a bitter smile, Sophia put her phone back to her handbag, adjusted her clothes and was about
to leave the office.

In fact, Sophia hoped that Victor could pick her up. She didn't expect that someone would gossip about
Victor behind his back. Her guilt towards Victor was overwhelming.

For now, the best way was to keep a proper distance from Victor. The employees could not find any
evidence. Over time, it would be forgotten by everyone.

Sophia was so preoccupied that she stumbled on her ankle when she walked to the staircase.

Sophia's delicate ankle immediately became red and swollen. She squatted down dejectedly and
slowly took off her high heels. It was rare for Sophia to wear such high-heeled shoes, but the pair she
was wearing today was about eight centimeters high. If she didn't work in a big group like the YS
Group, which required her to pay attention to her personal image in all aspects, she would definitely not
wear high heels.

What should I do now? Sophia looked at the broken shoes and admired herself, 'how hard did she put
on the high heels?' And this pair of shoes was a gift from Victor. It was of no quality issue.

Sophia recalling this period of time, looking at the high-heeled shoes in her hand, she sighed, "sure
enough, if one's heart is not satisfied from the beginning, everything will be bad...

Sophia sat on the bench outside the company helplessly. Looking at her injured foot, she felt a little
worried. He planned to go home when the pain on her feet eased a little.
