Sophia's POV
"Arthur and his girlfriend broke up last night. We drank a lot together and slept at his house when we were drunk. If my sister doesn't believe me, they can all prove it to me."
His insincere made me feel sick. That's how they lied to me all along! What I thought innocent was actually a group of dirty and cunning friends. I clenched my teeth, trying not to leak any emotion: "Let's break up".
Steven hadn't reacted yet and handed over the phone, "I'll call them right away. What?"
"That's enough, young master. I heard your conversation last night. I am the one who cannot reach you. Let's break up!" By now, how dare he act as if nothing happened in front of me!
Hearing this, he hesitated for a moment, but soon smiled again, "Since you, sister, have overheard our conversation, you should also know that my family is quite wealthy, and there is more than enough to support you. With me, you will never have to worry about making a living again."
Hearing his shameless answer, my heart seemed to be torn in two. Half was heartache. We once had so many good times. After all, it was wrong to pay. Half angry that this man would humiliate me like this. In grief and indignation, I struck him a slap on the face with my backhand.
"Sophia! Are you crazy?" Steven licked the corner of his lips, staring at me in disbelief, clearly not expecting me to lay hands on him.
I didn't respond to his words, took advantage of his shock, pushed his hand away, and raised my hand again for another slap, but this time he raised his arm to block it.
He gritted his teeth and warned, "Sophia! Enough!"
I still didn't pay attention to him, couldn't slap him, took a step back to the side, bent down, and picked up the 7-centimeter-high heels in my hand.
I rushed at Steven with high heels, chasing and hitting him until he reached the door of the room. "Get out, don't let me see you again!"
"Sophia, you will pay for your actions today, and you will definitely come to beg me!" Saying this, he covered his face and walked away in a disheveled manner, closing the door heavily.
A door seemed like the demarcation. He left, and I I felt like a deflated ball, collapsing on the bed. Small pains spread from the bottom of my heart. I closed my eyes and breathed in unsteadily. Tears welled up from the corners of my eyes again. I felt sad that my sincerity had been given to such a scumbag. My tears wet my pillowcase, crying, I gradually fell asleep......
Not knowing how long it had been, I was awakened by a rapid ringing of the phone. The caller was Mary, a subordinate I trusted very much. When I pressed the answer button, Mary's anxious voice came from the receiver: "It's not good, Miss Jones. I don't know why, but all our customers gave up cooperation with us, but the major news media also rejected our broadcast application. As a result, a lot of equipment was left in our hands, and the company could no longer operate... "
I woke up instantly, hurriedly put on my shoes, grabbed my bag and ran to the roadside, took an uber, and comforted Mary: "Don't worry, have you figured out what's going on? I'll come to the company right away."
"I just inquired and heard that someone from above had spoken and issued a banning order on the company."
Hearing this, I knew in my heart that the person above should be Steven. He was so fast and had such a great influence. He could easily destroy everything, anything of mine. I thought of the cruel words he said before he left.
Everything we had worked hard to maintain was just a game in the eyes of others. Now he is going to ruin all my things. This is the price of beating him just now.
A wry smile escaped my lips, and I replied to Mary on the other end of the phone: "Don't worry, I will solve it."
Steven just wanted me to beg him, but if I didn't agree to be his mistress, he wouldn't give up. To say the least, even if I hadn't hit him yesterday, he would have used this method to force me to submit.
With this in mind, I arrived at the company's office building, and Mary hurriedly stepped forward to pick me up, looking nervous.
"Mary, how much cash does the company have in its account?"
"Because most of the company's resources were invested in preparing for the big deal that you and Mr. Adler negotiated last time, there is only one hundred thousand dollars left in the company's account. How about discussing it with Mr. Adler? Is there any new way?"
"No, Mary, use the money to pay everyone's wages and the rent of the office building, and then file for bankruptcy of the company." I used my best sense to make this decision.
"Ah, this is your hard work, are you going to give up just like that?" Mary looked frustrated.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry for you. I'll contact my friends to see if I can recommend a job to you." I patted Mary on the shoulder, "I'll just do it. You can go back first."
"Okay, please pay attention to your health and don't be too anxious." Mary blinked her big, fluttering eyes and turned back reluctantly.
Come on, Sophia, you must not be defeated! I organized a lot of company equipment in the office. When I came out, it was already dark and raining heavily.
I did not bring an umbrella and wanted to take a taxi, but it was raining heavily, and it was night time, so there were no taxis to take passengers.
I gritted my teeth and rushed to the bus stop to see if I could get on the bus. The moment I rushed out, I was drenched in the rain. After arriving at the bus stop, I waited for a long time for the bus. The rain dripped down along my hair. I was wearing wet clothes, shivering in the wind. I felt that there was no way to go, the bottom of my heart seemed to break a big hole, and I fainted to the ground.
Before I closed my eyes, I seemed to see a black car driving in front of me, and a pair of Italian handmade leather shoes running towards me in the rain. Don't be a criminal, I'm unlucky enough. Before I fell into a coma, I thought...
