Chapter 24 Too Dirty
Sophia ignored it and closed her eyes to rest. It was hard for her to breathe at the moment, let alone argue with someone.
Hazel soon came back with the medicine. As Sophia opened the box, Jennifer came in, "Everyone, attention!"
"The president of the Johnson Group has arrived. There will be a welcome party in the afternoon held at Wanhai Hotel. Natalia, contact the reporter, Olivia, write the article and send out after the reception. Others set up the room with me!" "Hurry up! Act now!"
Everyone in the office started walking. Hazel looked at Sophia pale face and urged her, "Take the medicine before we go."
Sophia nodded and was to take the medicine. With her other hand, she was about to drink, but a person suddenly bumped her arm and the medicine fell out of her hand.
"I'm sorry, Sophia, I didn't mean to do that." Natalia said with a smile and pride in her beautiful eyes.
Sophia looked at Natalia. When she was going to take a pill, Natalia pulled her and Hazel and went out, "Hurry up, time is out!" Jennifer also urged outside. Sophia could only endure the pain to decorate the venue.
Sophia was a newcomer, coupled with being dragged out by Stephen today, she got a pale face. During the decoration, she was moving tables, cleaning floors. Hazel could not take it and wanted to help, but someone else asked her to do something else. After finishing arranging the table and chairs, Sophia had cold sweat, with her body trembling lightly, and her eyes became blurred.
"Sophia!" Hazel immediately ran over to Sophia and helped her to the chair, "Sophia, are you okay? Sit down and rest!"
Sophia shook her head and had no strength to say words.
Hazel could only go to get her a cup of hot water, "Sophia, drink some hot water, it will make you feel better."
Sophia cast her grateful eyes.
As her lips touched the cup edge and before she could have a mouthful of hot water, Stephen's cold voice sounded behind her, "What are you doing?"
Sophia's heart quivered, and she suddenly stood up. The water was too hot, Sophia did not catch it and the cup fell. And then it had broken into countless pieces, with hot water immediately dispersed. There was water splashed on Stephen's expensive white leather shoes.
"Mr. Berry, Sophia is not feeling well. I..." Hazel explained.
Stephen coldly glanced at her. Hazel shivered and immediately shut up.
Stephen's line of sight fell back to Sophia, and he stretched his shoes forward, "Clean it."
At this time, the people of the public relations department gathered around, suppressing the excitement and watched this good show.
Sophia squatted down, raised her hands to wipe the water on Stephen's shoes.
Stephen frowned, "Too dirty."
Sophia looked at Stephen in confuse.
Stephen made a look at his secretary, the secretary did not understand. Seeing Stephen was to lose his temper, Daniel handed over a bottle of alcohol.
Stephen looked at Daniel and did not speak.
The people looked at Daniel, and then at Stephen. They understood the current situation: contract negotiation was approaching.
Daniel opened the bottle and poured it on the hand of Sophia, let Sophia wipe Stephen's white leather shoes. In this way, Stephen got slightly relaxed. He stepped back and told Sophia, "Clean up here."
Sophia picked up the cup pieces to the garbage can and mopped the floor. Stephen frowned, "Can it be cleaned in this way? Get a rag and wipe it!"
Sophia found a rag to wipe, squatting on the ground.
Stephen was not satisfied again, "What is going on with your shoes? You stepped on it after you wiped it, it will get dirty again."
Sophia looked at Stephen with a frown: should she take off the shoes?
Stephen offered the answer, "Kneel down. Keep your feet off the ground!"
Kneel down...
Sophia looked at the front, those were all the legs and feet of colleagues in the public relations department. If she knelt down, it was equivalent to kneeling in front of them. Since childhood, Sophia had never been subjected to such humiliation. Even in prison, she had never been forced to kneel.
"Didn't you hear what I said?"
The sound, cold as ice, came again. Sophia turned her head to see Stephen, gnashed her teeth, knelt down to wipe the ground.
Stephen lowered his eyes and told the people around him, "Go carry a basin of water and let her wash the rag."
A basin of water was soon brought over. Stephen touched the water and frowned. Daniel immediately ordered, "Go and change another basin! This water is too hot!"
The secretary was shocked: this is the tap water, how can it be hot? He looked up at Daniel, and he immediately understood and turned to leave.
When the water was brought again, there were three or four large blocks of ice in the basin, which took up more than half the space in the basin.
Stephen was satisfied.
Sophia put the rag in the ice water, her fingers were frozen. Stephen finally left with satisfaction. Before he left, he said, "Clean the whole banqueting hall. When you're done, climb out and don't dirty the floor."
Sophia mercilessly bit teeth to stop tears flowing down.
After Stephen left, the hall became noisy.
"I thought she is good! It turns out that Mr. Berry did not take her seriously! He is still do Mr. Berry!"
"I guess she wanted to climb into Mr. Berry's bed and was disgusted by him. It is of no use to be beautiful. If Mr. Berry doesn't like her, she has to kneel to wipe the ground!"
"Mr. Berry has never hated anyone so much."
"Yes. That's enough to see how annoying this woman really is!"
...
Sophia lowered her eyes, silently wiping the ground. As soon as the floor was wiped clean, a colleague came over with a bottle of Coke and stepped on high heels. With a loud pop, the Coke bottle fell on the floor, and the brown liquid flowed out. "Ah! I'm sorry. I failed to hold it. Sophia, please wipe again."
Sophia looked up at her colleague, lowered her head, put the rag into the icy water and washed it clean, then went back to wipe the floor.
Hazel could not see it any more, "Don't go too far!"
The colleague looked at Hazel with dissatisfaction, "You still want to curry favor with her? Mr. Berry doesn't like her at all! You'll lose your job if you help her like that!"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
