Drenched in Love

Chapter 37 Mr. Berry Said You Can Leave.

Sophia was very happy to get the salary. Although there was only 3,000, it was enough to rent a

bedroom in a remote urban village. And she could buy a simple phone with the rest of money and

spent less money for food, she could survive with it for a month. During this month, she could find

another job.

She did not believe there would be no company to hire her in addition to the Berry Group in ST.

At noon, Sophia invited Hazel to dinner and gave her back the money, “Hazel, thank you for your

kindness, I want to resign.”

“You want to resign?!” Hazel seemed incredulous.

Sophia nodded with a smile.

“Why? Isn't it good to be in the Berry Group? Many people could not work here even if they want to!”

With this, Hazel became silent.

Sophia showed her hands, “You know I offended the president of the Berry Group. If I don't leave now, I

will have a miserable life.”

Sophia was telling the truth, but Hazel thought it was a metaphor.

Hazel's mood was low, “We have become friends for a short time and you are to leave. Sophia, where

are you going to?”

Sophia shook her head, “I don't know. I have not found a job yet, but I will get one soon.”

Hazel took out her phone, “Sophia, what is your phone number? We can contact in the future.”

Sophia looked bad on face, “I have no mobile phone.”

“No mobile phone?” Hazel did not understand. Now in this era, even primary school students had

mobile phones, why didn’t an adult have mobile phone?!

Sophia said, “I will get one soon, when I have it, I will tell you. Don't worry about me. When I'm settled,

I'll come to find you.”

After work, Sophia rented a narrow single room, bought the cheapest mobile phone and got the

cheapest mobile phone card, and then went to the supermarket to buy some things to decorate her

little room.

After that, she had only a thousand left. It was enough for food in a month.

On the second day, Sophia finished the letter of resignation. She went to the president's office with the

keys to the villa that Stephen had given her.

“Mr. Berry, here is the key ZD Villa, and here is my letter of resignation.” for fear that Stephen would not

agree, Sophia mentioned his commitment to her before, “You said, after the contract, you will consider

letting me leave.”

Stephen looked down at the keys and resignation letter on the table and did not speak for a long time. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

He did say that, but, he thought the contract needed a long time to negotiate, so he could torture

Sophia during this period of time, so that she would get physical and mental exhaustion, lose interest in

the whole world, then......

He did not expect that Sophia would settle the contract so soon.

Seeing that Stephen did not speak for a long time, Sophia was anxious, “Mr. Berry, you promised

before.”

“I have the keys and the letter of resignation,” he said, holding the key in his hand. “As for your

resignation...I'll give you an answer tomorrow. I'm busy right now.”

As if to confirm his busyness, he bowed his head and began to sign.

Sophia knew she could only wait patiently.

Stephen didn't let her wait until the next day, in the afternoon before getting off work, Stephen asked

Daniel to tell her, “Miss Carter, Mr. Berry said, you can leave.”

Sophia was very happy and immediately began to pack things.

Sophia and Hazel knew that Sophia took initiative to leave. Jennifer also knew that Stephen agreed to

let Sophia leave because he was kind of good to her, but other colleagues in the PR department didn't

know.

“See, she was kicked out by Mr. Berry.”

“Yes. After only a month, Mr. Berry could not stand her and drove her away. So it doesn't help to have a

pretty face!”

After packing things, Sophia spent 20 yuan to take a taxi to her room.

As she got off on the road and before walking into the village, she saw billowing smoke came from the

center of the village. A sense of foreboding rose in Sophia's heart.

Without thanking the taxi driver, she rushed home with her things in her arms. She rushed to the

courtyard where she rented her apartment, looked up and saw smoke billowing out of her room.

“Fire! Put out the fire!” Sophia shouted, picked up the bucket besides to take some water to put out the

fire. The landlady grabbed the bucket from her hand, seized her with one hand, and slapped her

repeatedly with the other.

“It was because of your pity that I rented the house to you at the cheapest price! You can leave if you

don't want to live. Why burn my house down!”

Sophia broke free and hurriedly explained, “Auntie, listen to my explanation! I don’t know why it is in

fire. I have hardly things in my room, it could not have started a fire!”

“What do you mean?! Do you think I set fire to my own house and blamed you for it?” The landlady

shouted. She picked up the big broom standing next to her, lifted it and hit Sophia.

“Your bitch! I'll beat you to death!”

Sophia was helpless and could only escape.

The landlady was out of sight as she panted down the street. Sophia raised her hand and touched the

place where she was hurt and looked up to the house she had rented before.

The open fire had died down, and the smoke had gradually subsided. It should have been put out.

There was no catastrophe, Sophia felt relieved and turned to leave.

She only had a thousand yuan, and renting a house was out of the question. She could not afford to

live in a hotel, so she had to go to KFC for a night. Before leaving for KFC, Sophia's stomach growled.

Because she had left her job, she did not eat in the restaurant of the Berry Group.

In the summer evening, many vendors set up stalls outside. Sophia casually found a stall to sit down,

ordered a bowl of sliced noodles with a tea egg.

When she was to pay, her face changed as she fumbled her pocket: Where was money? Where was

the one thousand she put in her pocket?!

Sophia searched for all the pockets, but she failed to find a penny.
