Chapter 32 I'm Afraid I can't Get out of Bed
Sophia felt very funny. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
Whether it was last night or that night, it was clearly Stephen forced her, how could he be so shameless
to say so? Even if she was no clean, it was because of him!
With this thought, Sophia could not help but bite her lips.
Stephen was angry. Seeing that Sophia again showed this expression, he got furious. He raised his
hand to catch Sophia's face, forcing her to let go of her red lips.
Sophia struggled to break free her face, took back two steps, looked at Stephen in discontent.
At this time, Stephen's reason slightly recovered and realized what he was doing. He suddenly took
back two steps to keep a far distance from Sophia.
Stephen frowned, “Get out!”
Sophia did not move, “Mr. Berry, I come up to you for that bonus of the public relations department was
deducted. You hate me. You can punish me. You don't need punish others. In this way, people will say
that you misuse your power and authority.”
Stephen looked sharply at Sophia. Sophia stood there with a calm face.
Stephen stared at Sophia for a long time. As Sophia thought Stephen would not agree, Stephen went
to the desk and took a document to hit Sophia, “Make up for your trouble! Go and settle the contract. If
this contract is done, I'll give you what you want. I will only punish you other than others in PR
department.”
“Thank you, Mr. Berry!”
Sophia picked up the document and left happily. She knew Stephen would not give her a simple
contract, but as long as there was a glimmer of hope, she would have a try. So that she would not feel
guilty.
Sophia was right that this document was the contract between the Berry Group and the Johnson
Group. The Johnson Group was based in Europe, where he owned most of the stores. If the Berry
Group wanted to cooperate with him and no less than 35% of the profits, it was difficult.
Sophia hadn't sat in her office for two days. Now she came back with a smile, holding a document,
which caused whispers in the public relations department.
“Is she in favour again? Look at the smile on her face!”
“I think so, she looks happy!”
“Beauty got favors, even Mr. Berry was in favor of beauties. It's a hopeless world.”
“You just saw that she is happy. Have you forgotten how Mr. Berry humiliated her in front of us two days
ago? I think she will be happy for a day and cried for a week!”
Frowning, Hazel got close to Sophia and said in a low voice, “Sophia, those people are jealous of you.
Don’t take those words serious.”
Sophia smiled, “I'm okay, don’t worry.”
Sophia carefully read the document and then began to check the material about the Johnson Group via
internet. When it came to the important point, she took notes.
Soon it was time to get off work. People were gone, Hazel asked her, “Sophia, why don't you go
home?”
“I have not finished. I'll leave later. You go ahead.”
It was 11 p.m. when Stephen came out of his office. His secretary, Daniel, accompanied him
downstairs.
The elevator stopped on the 10th floor. When Daniel was going to close the elevator, Stephen had
walked out of the elevator, “I don't take the elevator, take the stairs. I was busy these days and did not
have time to exercise. Just take it as exercise.
When they went to the eighth floor, they found the lights in public relations department were still on.
Stephen could not help but go to the public relations department.
Sophia was still working overtime. On her left was the document he had given her, and on her right was
her notebook, with the computer in front of her. She kept flipping through documents and contents on
the computer, taking a pen to write something on the notebook from time to time.
As a result of her imprisonment, her hair was short and dry, worse than a man's hair, but that did not
detract from her beauty. Under the lamplight, her profile was perfect. Every her movement was graceful
and amazing.
Stephen stood in the doorway and watched for a moment, then turned to leave. As he was walking
down the stairs, he asked, “Why leave the light when everyone is gone? Do you think the Berry Group
have no place to spend money?”
Daniel paused and went upstairs. When Stephen drove out of the garage, the Berry Group building had
been all dark without a light was on.
The next morning, when it was time for work, the colleagues had just arrived, Daniel came to her, “Miss
Carter, Mr. Berry is waiting for you in the underground parking lot.”
Underground parking again?
Sophia had a bad impression on the underground parking lot now. The dim lighting, the oppressive
atmosphere, and the ghostly Stephen, who seemed intent on scaring him to death.
Fortunately, this time was not the same as before. Daniel accompanied Sophia to take the elevator to
the underground parking lot.
After Sophia left, the office of the public relations department was noisy again. Daniel took a look at
Sophia with compassion in the eyes.
Daniel drove, Stephen and Sophia sat in the back. They went to the hospital together.
Outside the senior ward, Sophia heard a familiar voice inside, “Mr. Johnson, I met Mr. Berry and he
invited me to dinner. The PR girl Sophia was with her. I thought we were negotiating a contract and it
was ok to have dinner together. During the dinner, Mr. Berry went to the bathroom. The PR girl came to
me and asked me to give her this contract and she would sleep with me at night.”
“I thought, although I am a director of the Johnson Group, this contract is very important, and you are in
charge of it, I can’t make my own decision, so I refused. The PR girl then threatened me and said she
would sue me of raping her if I didn't say yes.”
“I ignored her. I got up and looked for Mr. Berry. This PR girl grabbed my arm and blocked me in the
box and wouldn't let me go. And then she tore apart her clothes and cried for help. I scolded her and
she picked up the teapot to hit my head!”
“Mr. Johnson, I'm getting old and it hit me hard. My head still hurts! The doctor said I have concussion!
I'm afraid I can't get out of bed in half a month.”
