Get you in my arms novel Chapter 3

Sophia arrived at the company an hour later than usual.

She was feeling nervous when she saw that her supervisor was waiting for her. Was he going to reprimand her for coming late to work? Much to her surprise, that wasn't the case.

As would be the case, someone had filed for her resignation early that morning.

"You younger generation are so fickle! Always jumping from one thing to another. I can assure you that if you keep this up, you'll have a hard time in life and just end up living in your parents' house for the rest of your life! But I guess that's not up for me to decide," Sophia's supervisor scolded her in a shrill voice as she rolled her eyes.

As she would always do, Sophia didn't bother to argue with her, and quietly swallowed her anger.

To be honest, this job was practically boring. Her salary was poor, and she worked overtime without pay every day. On weekends, she only had one day to rest. The thing she hated most about her job, however, was that that awful, bossy woman who was always picking on her. But she still endured it. It wasn't that easy to get a job nowadays. The economic situation in the whole country was at a downward spiral. There were a lot of people who didn't have jobs and it didn't look like the situation was going to change any time soon. Sophia felt relieved that she was even able to find this job after she graduated.

With a polite nod, Sophia packed up all her things silently and walked out of the company.

Feeling annoyed and defeated, she went back to her cramped apartment. Before she could even put her things down, her landlord knocked on her door. He said that she was to leave as soon as she could. Someone had told her landlord that she wouldn't be living there anymore.

Even her own home was taken away from her!

Did that arrogant, rich man really want to drive her to her own death?!

When she closed the door behind her, she couldn't help but grunt in annoyance. "What an asshole!" she exclaimed. Sophia took deep breaths, and tried to think about the only positive thing left in her life, John.

After they graduated from high school, he was admitted to Columbia University in America with his excellent grades. In order to get to his level, she studied very hard every day. Finally, she was admitted to one of the top national universities, Q University.

John said he would come back and marry her as soon as he graduated. But it had been three months since he graduated. Why hadn't he come back yet?

"John, please come back soon. I miss you so much!"

She stared at the picture on her phone, lost in thought.

Before dawn the next day, she was awakened by a loud knock at the door. A man named Mike was sent to pick her up. Sophia could only assume that this was someone working for the man she hated so much.

She followed him into the car, yawning. "Who is your boss anyway? Why does he act all arrogant as if he's the king of the world?"

"I'll tell you who he is. But you might get frightened and eat your words," Mike said with a coy smile. Sophia raised her eyebrows.

"Just say it. Let's see how frightened I'll get," she replied mockingly as she rolled her eyes at him.

Mike gave a cough and cleared his throat, "Alright then. His name is Lucas Mo."

"Never heard of him," she shrugged her shoulders indifferently.

"He is the famous Mr. Lucas!" Mike stared at her fiercely, as if her ignorance and indifference were a great insult to him.

He nodded slightly with a very strange smile on his face.

Sophia's intuition told her that it wasn't going to be easy working here for him.

She followed Rose to the second floor and down the very end of the hall.

As soon as the door opened, a white Samoyed came at them.

"This is Tommy. You will have to share a room with him." Rose then pointed to the two beds in the room and said, "The big bed is Tommy's. The small bed is yours. Don't mix it up. Tommy doesn't like others occupying his bed! Which reminds me, you have to take care of Tommy. Bathe him and brush his teeth every day. He has an eating schedule and you need to follow that."

Sophia felt that her head was going to explode from anger. Letting her live together with a dog. How degrading!

Sophia took a deep breath and exhaled deeply. There was no other choice. She had to put up with all those things or be on the losing end.

Did he think that he could crush her spirits this way? Well, he was absolutely wrong!

She had a dog in her house when she was a child. She liked dogs very much and knew how to live in peace with them.

Sophia bent over and smiled, petting Tommy on the head. "Tommy, be good. Let's be good friends, alright? I'll cook delicious meals for you if you will be nice."

In an instant, Tommy wagged its tail at Sophia. It looked like they were going to get along well.
