After a moment's silence, the PR department began to rumble.
“Our department lives on bonuses. Without the bonus, we'll just get the basic salary of 3,000 or 4,000 yuan, so we'll starve to death.”
“And I promised my mother I'd buy her that coat this month that she fancied a while ago. That's the end of the story.”
“My son's birthday is in this month, and I can't get the toy I promised to buy for him.”
“My credit card has been maxed out for ten thousand! I planned to pay it when I get salary this month! It's all over!”
They sat in their chairs and grumbled. From time to time they looked to Sophia with hatred in eyes.
When they could not suppress the anger in heart and were to attack Sophia with language, Jennifer appeared in time, “Sophia, come with me!”
In the manager's office.
Jennifer looked at Sophia and sighed, “Sophia, I don't care what problems there are between you and Mr. Berry. I just hope that the conflicts between you and Mr. Berry will not harm the interests of other employees in the PR department. Otherwise, you will have a hard time and I will have a hard time.”
Sophia lowered her head, “Sorry, Jennifer.”
Jennifer shook her head. “You don't have to apologize to me. What you should do now is to ask Mr. Berry to exempt our public relations department from punishment. Otherwise you won't be able to stay in PR any longer.”
Sophia nodded, “I know.”
At noon the next day, when everyone went to lunch, Sophia went to the 28th floor. She had been the president's office for many times.
It was at noon, most people had left to have lunch, but only a few secretaries sitting in front of their computer.
The secretarial whispered when seeing her and soon began their own work.
Standing at the door of the president's office, she bit her lip and raised her hand to knock on the door.
“Come in.” After a while, Stephen's cold voice came from the inside without any temperature.
Sophia pushed the door and entered. Stephen buried his head in the pile of papers, with a pen in his right hand. After a few quick glancing at the papers, he signed his name.
A dozen documents had been signed in a row. Stephen looked up at Sophia. He frowned. “What are you doing here?”
Sophia said what she had already prepared, “Mr. Berry, it was my personal mistake that led to the termination of the contract. It had nothing to do with other employees of the PR department. I hope you can punish me alone and not deduct the bonuses of other colleagues.”
“Oh?” Stephen looked at Sophia sarcastically, “I did not expect you are quite righteous. But why should I do that?”
“Mr. Berry!” Sophia went forward a step, “Mr. Berry, it was not my fault last night. You did not tell me what I was going to do, nor did you ask my opinion in advance. Moreover, I made it very clear with you yesterday that if you ever let me act like a prostitute to drink with customers again, I will ruin your business!”
Stephen stood up, pinched Sophia's chin ruthlessly with two cold fingers, which made her chin pale. He snorted coolly, “You are glib!”
Sophia struggled, but failed.
It was time to get off work and there were many colleagues passing by. Seeing that Sophia had been with Stephen, they whispered about it.
Sophia had become accustomed to this look and she no longer cared about it but only followed Stephen.
At the door of the company, the driver drove a Rolls-Royce over. Stephen got in the car and went away. Sophia ran on her high heels and was soon far behind Stephen.
Stephen took a look in the rearview mirror. Sophia stopped on the road, panting. He then curled his lips.
Rolls-Royce continued to move and the rearview mirror completely did not have Sophia's figure. Stephen sneered in heart: over-confident.
He thought that he would calm down when he could not see Sophia, but the next moment, he could not help but look in the rearview mirror, only to see the traffic and pedestrians but Sophia's figure. His heart was empty.
Realizing his current state, his body stiffened sharply.
Stephen had promised his parents to go home for dinner, but his mood was suddenly not good. When he was passing by a bar, Stephen made a phone call to his parents and said he had something to do in the evening, so he would not go back for dinner, and then he entered the bar.
It was eleven o'clock when Stephen came out of the bar.
Daniel leaned against the Rolls-Royce and waited for him. Seeing him come out, he immediately opened the door and let him get in.
When Stephen lifted his feet to get in the car, Sophia ran over panting, “Wait a minute! Stephen, wait a minute!”
Stephen took his foot back. He turned and saw a young woman running breathlessly toward him, waving as she ran.
