The lipstick on Sophia’s lips was a little smudged.
When Sophia sensed that someone was looking at her, she placed the mirror to one side and looked into the
camera to greet Corinne.
“Hi, Corinne!” said Sophia with a smile. “I saw you chatting with Sunny earlier, so I thought I wouldn’t bother you!
How are you feeling? You left early yesterday, so I was wondering if you managed to get a good night’s sleep.”
Corinne frowned and said, “Thanks for your concern. I slept very well.”
Sophia smiled. “That’s good! I was worried you would have insomnia if a certain incident left you in a bad mood
yesterday.”
Corinne scoffed. “And what incident could ruin my mood and make me have insomnia?”

understand how you feel. If I were you in your shoes, I’d be fuming if I saw my ex-boyfriend celebrating another
girl’s birthday!”
“You worry too much.” Corinne chuckled. “I’ll still sleep soundly even if you tell me that you’ve slept with him!”
Sophia smiled and rested her hand on her chin. “Oh? What if I told you that we did sleep together last night?”
Corinne cocked an eyebrow. “Last night?”
Sophia nodded. “Yup! I didn’t want to tell you that at first. But since you don’t seem to mind, then I might as well be
honest with you! I slept with Jeremy last night!”
Corinne narrowed her eyes and looked at her. “Did you remember correctly? Are you sure it was last night?”
Jeremy could not have slept with Sophia while he was still on that video call with her all night. Perhaps they did it
‘live’ after she had fallen asleep.
Sophia smiled bashfully. “Well, this is how it went down! You left early last night, didn’t you? Jason came to me and
asked me if I saw you, so I went with him to check the hotel surveillance. We saw from the recording that Jeremy
had carried you away…” Her tone was somewhat insinuative.
Corinne explained, “That’s because I fainted after my blood sugar level was too low. He wouldn’t have carried me if
I was still conscious.”
“You don’t need to explain yourself, Corinne!” Sophia beamed with a smile. “I know everything, and I’m not angry
at all! Jeremy told me everything so I don’t have any misunderstandings!”
Corinne’s lips twitched. ‘No one cares if you’re angry or not. I’m just stating the facts.’
Sophia held her face like a lovesick woman and continued, “Jason and I went out to find you two. By the time we
located Jeremy’s car, you were already gone. Jason continued to look for you, but I got into Jeremy’s car. He sent
me back to the hotel after that.”

Corinne remained expressionless. “Oh.”
Sophia then winked charmingly. “Is that all you can say? Aren’t you curious about what happened next?”
“Not at all,” Corinne answered.
‘I’m still going to tell you anyway!’ Sophia thought to herself and smirked. She continued, “Jeremy then told me that
he was in a bad mood, so he wanted to rest in my room and share a drink with him. Then… Well, you know what
happens when a lonely man and a single woman share some drinks. It all happened so naturally…”
Sophia covered her face in ecstasy as though reminiscing about it, even though she felt all shy.
Corinne was speechless.
“Come to think of it, I have you to thank too!”
“For what?”
