Chapter 113: A Slap in Sophia’s face
Stephen didn't expect this either. He was also a little surprised, but he was much calmer than Sophia.
There was only a flash in his eyes, and then he turned his face away to look ahead, as if nothing had
happened.
Sophia was forced to rest at home for three days by Stephen. Three days later, Doctor Joe came to
see her in person and confirmed that she was recovered. Until then, Stephen allowed her to go to work.
"Doctor Joe, thank you." Sophia followed Stephen to see Doctor Joe off.
Doctor Joe smiled and winked at her: "If you really want to thank me, then remember to invite me to This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
your wedding feast!"
Sophia smiled awkwardly: "Doctor Joe, I'm afraid I won’t get married in the coming few years."
Stephen stood beside her in relax with his hands in pockets.
Doctor Joe couldn't help laughing after hearing her words, and gave Stephen a mocking look: "Oh, if
that's the case, what a pity!" He said it was a pity, but his eyes were sparkling as if he was amused by
something really funny.
Sophia saw Doctor Joe off in confusion. While she was still in a daze, Stephen turned around to return
to the villa, and when he passed by Sophia, he hit her shoulder inadvertently.
Sophia snorted when she was hit. Holding her shoulders and looking at Stephen's tall figure, she didn’t
know how she had offended him again.
After resting for three days in the Berry villa, Sophia went back to work.
Her car was still not sent back yet, and she didn’t know if it was still in repair or it was already sold by
Stephen. When Sophia was about to go to work on foot, the black Rolls Royce stopped by her again.
From the opened window, Stephen said coldly "Get in the car!" and the window was rolled up again.
It was still Daniel who was driving the car.
When they got closer and closer to the Berry Group, Sophia tried to tell Stephen for several times that
she wanted to get off. But when she saw Stephen's expressionless face, she kept the words back to
herself.
The Rolls Royce was stopped in the underground parking. It was during the rush hour that many
employees of the company parked their cars here.
Sophia tried to hide behind the seat to prevent others from discovering her. She wanted to get off when
there was no one in the parking, but obviously Stephen didn't think so.
Daniel had gotten off the car and opened the door for Stephen. But, Stephen sat still, and looked at
Sophia. Sophia gritted her teeth and opened the door to get off.
When she got off the car, the time stopped, because those who were preparing to get off the car,
getting off the car, or already out of the car, all froze at that moment, staring blankly at Sophia getting
off the black Rolls Royce.
Sophia whispered thanks to Stephen, and ran to the elevator as quickly as possible.
During the rush hour, there were so many people waiting for the elevator that Sophia had to bear their
staring at the door of the elevator.
Stephen, who was a bit slower, had already strode to the president's elevator.
When the employees of the Berry Group greeted him, he nodded in response and strode into the
elevator.
Looking at Sophia standing in the crowd, Stephen said, "You can go upstairs with me."
It was so quiet around that the sounds of breathing could be heard clearly. Sophia pretended not to
hear him because he did not call her name, and she looked away.
Lunch break.
Sophia sat in front of the computer and searched for methods of making money. Hazel tugged at her
clothes.
"What's wrong?" Sophia asked, refocusing her attention on the methods of making money. She wanted
to make some money to buy Hazel a birthday present.
Hazel lowered her voice: "Sophia, some people in the company are gossiping that you came to work in
Mr. Berry’s car this morning. Is this true?"
Sophia answered: "Of course...it was not true!"
However, Sophia was slapped in the face soon.
When they got off work in the afternoon, Sophia and Hazel came out of the company together, and
Stephen’s dazzling Rolls-Royce stopped beside them.
"Sophia, get in the car!"
The window was rolled down and rolled up again in just a few seconds, leaving Hazel in a brain fart.
Hazel looked at Sophia incredulously. Sophia was very embarrassed: "Hazel, I will find a chance to
explain to you! But I have to go now!"
Sophia opened the door and got into the car skillfully, leaving Hazel in confusion.
Sophia kept thinking about it all the way, and she kept looking at Stephen. Stephen was as firm as a
rock, and his face was calm without any expression.
The Rolls-Royce arrived at the Berry villa soon. Sophia plucked up the courage to ask Stephen.
However, Stephen opened the door and got off the car, and walked away, giving her no chance to
speak.
Sophia searched for two days and finally found a job as a translator. As long as she finished translating
the material, she could earn one thousand.
In order to finish the work as soon as possible, Sophia printed the document while there was no one in
the office at noon secretly, and prepared a special notebook to write down the translation, so when she
came home in the evening she could also do the translation.
"This word means..." Looking at the unfamiliar words on the paper, Sophia frowned.
Her major was English, but there were a lot of professional terms that she had never seen before, and
there was no dictionary at hand...so, Sophia was a little discouraged...
She made a mark and skipped this word to continue. But after she read a few lines, there came
another unfamiliar word making Sophia discouraged again.
When she calmed down and planned to continue, a shadow enveloped her. Sophia felt that the
temperature around her decreased. A cold hand stretched out from behind and pointed to the
untranslated words: "This word means..."
Under the guidance, Sophia was enlightened and went back to translate the sentence again.
With someone helping her, Sophia translated two pages in a short period of time. It was late at night,
and she was very tired. Sophia packed up the manuscript and stood up, preparing to say thank you to
the person who helped her. When she turned around and saw the white suit, she suddenly realized that
the person who helped her was Stephen.
"Mr.... Mr. Berry? Why are you here?"
Stephen lowered his eyebrows slightly with his hands in pockets. He looked at her condescendingly:
"What are you doing? Why are you translating this?"
Sophia pressed the file behind her, and explained in a panic: "No... nothing. I'm so idle and bored that I
want to find something to do."
"You feel bored?" Stephen asked lightly.
Sophia regretted saying so, and bit her lip uncontrollably.
