The sudden loud noise made everyone look back at Margaret.
Sophia quickly got up and helped her up, afraid that she would be recognized and cause a commotion.
After sitting back down, Margaret was still unable to calm down. She gulped down the juice in front of her and looked up at Sophia solemnly.
"What happened?"
Sophia hesitated for a moment, then told her best friend everything that had happened.
After hearing the story, Margaret was thunderstruck. "Sophia, are you an idiot? Lucas is such a horrible man, do you think you can just walk away from him? Why would you do that for just any Sarah? Even if you did nothing, Lucas wouldn't pay any attention to her anyway!"
Sophia regretted, "I didn't know he would really fall for it. I have worked by his side for a year, and he has never sought a woman."
Margaret's eyes widened, "Why wouldn't he fall for it? Isn't this a trap? How many times have you done it with him?"
"Just this morning, yesterday and the night before, about...ten times..."
Margaret felt her eyes go dark: "Shit! This Lucas really doesn't treat you like a human being, no wonder you went to the doctor in pain!"
"In that case, you should quit your job and come work for my father's company! Or, haven't you always wanted to open your own design studio? You can use the money your father left you, or if it's not enough, I can give you some!"
Sophia bit her lips and didn't say anything.
She hadn't ruled out quitting her job, but the question was, would Lucas let her?
"I'll think about it..."
"Don't think about it! If you keep thinking about it, you won't know how you're going to die! If he keeps on like this, you'll end up taking the pill and dying!"
Hm, dying from the pill... that would be a novel way to go.
Margaret hit the nail on the head: "If he really cared about you, he'd wear a condom, not make you take the pill!"
Sophia nodded: "I know, he doesn't treat me like a human being."
"And not to mention you, why the hell did you give him back the two million? ! Who has too much money?!" Margaret was really about to have a lung fit over her best friend.
Looking at Sophia's soft and tender little face, even her cold brother was moved, so why didn't this idiot have this awareness?
If my brother knew about this, he would probably explode right there and then.
"By the way, Sophia, my brother is coming back."
Sophia's dull eyes suddenly lit up, "Brother Oscar is coming back?"
Margaret's brother Oscar had been sent abroad by their father Irving to develop a branch of the ZH Group. He had been gone for nearly two years, but now the branch was doing well and he had found a reliable manager, so he was finally coming back.
Oscar had liked Sophia for a long time, but Sophia, a woman with a negative emotional quotient, seemed to have completely missed it. He also wouldn't let Margaret say anything, so it just dragged on.
Margaret persuaded her, "So you should quit your job quickly. It's better to come back and be my brother's secretary or open your own design studio than to die in Lucas's bed! Lucas is a man with his hand on the tiller. Even if you die in his bed, he will find a way to make you disappear without a trace, and no one will even find your body!"
Sophia shuddered when she heard what Margaret said, and she felt cold sweat breaking out on her forehead.
"Okay," she said, determined.
...
When she returned to the office at the end of her lunch break, Sophia asked Fiona in a low voice, 'Is the CEO in his office?"
"Yes, he had lunch in his office and has not come out."
"Is he alone?"
Fiona nodded: 'Yes, why Sophia?"
"I'm going to resign."
"Ah?!"
Sophia knocked on the door and went in. Lucas was lying on the large sofa in the inner office lounge, resting his eyes.
She went to the coffee table next to the sofa and put away all of Lucas's lunch cutlery.
Since she had started working as Lucas's personal secretary, she had ordered his lunch every day.
Sophia knew his favorite restaurants and types of food, and she would choose the freshest ingredients according to the season. So in the past year, Lucas had never once thrown his food on the floor in dissatisfaction.
She deliberately slowed down the pace of tidying up, but Lucas showed no sign of waking up.
Forget it, I'll talk to him later.
Sophia picked up the cutlery and was about to leave when Lucas suddenly grabbed her wrist firmly.
"What is it?" Lucas opened his eyes.
"President, it's nothing,"
"Speak,"
"President, really, it's nothing,"
"Secretary Sophia is deliberately taking her time cleaning up and keeps glancing at me, isn't that something?"
It turned out that Lucas had not fallen asleep and had seen everything she had done.
Sophia put down the cutlery in her hands and deliberately moved back a little: "Well... President, I want to resign."
A flash of anger flashed in Lucas's eyes.
"Why?"
"I studied architectural design in college, and I've always wanted to open my own design studio. Now I have the opportunity..."
Lucas said coldly, "Who gave you the opportunity?"
"Huh?"
"I asked you who gave you the opportunity?"
"I found an office in a good location at a reasonable price."
"The address. I'll buy the building."
"..." Sophia was at a loss for words.
This kind of thing, Lucas could do.
"Secretary Sophia, do you think I won't allow you to open a studio in the capital?"
Sophia felt like a thunderclap had exploded over her head, blowing her to pieces.
Lucas, why did you have to hold on to her?
"Go out if there's nothing else. Send me the business trip itinerary for the next two days."
Sophia was so unhappy that she had finally made up her mind to go out and then been sent away like that: "President, can't you let me go? I've been injured at work!"
Lucas stared at her straight in the eye, a wicked smile curling the corners of his mouth.
From what Sophia knew of him, every time Lucas smiled like that, it was all over.
"Oh? Let me see where Sophia the secretary has been injured at work?"
Before she could react, she was pulled into Lucas' arms, and she was firmly pinned underneath him as he rolled over, and a strong force gripped her wrist tightly.
Sophia struggled desperately, but the man on top of her did not move an inch.
"President, this is the office!"
"Why didn't you think this was the office when you put your hand on my leg, Secretary Sophia?"
As he spoke, Sophia's short skirt was pushed up to her waist, and her two long, white legs were completely exposed.
Lucas' Adam's apple kept rolling up and down uncontrollably. He had only wanted to scare the woman in front of him, but who knew that he would arouse his own desires.
He could only feel a burning desire throughout his body.
Sophia angrily bit her lip, and a haze gradually covered her eyes.
In front of Lucas, she really didn't even have the qualifications to be a good person.
"President, aren't you afraid that I won't be taking birth control and will get pregnant with your child?"
Huh, this woman has got some nerve, threatening me Lucas?
He looked at her playfully and said, "Secretary Sophia thinks that you can keep what I don't want?"
At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
"President, it's time to go to the consulate," Henry said outside the door.
Lucas got up, and Sophia quickly pulled down her short skirt and fixed her messy hair.
"Come in,"
Henry walked in. Sophia quickly picked up the tidied cutlery on the table, nodded to him and walked quickly towards the door.
As she turned sideways, Henry clearly saw the red mark on her white neck and the tears that hadn't dried in the corners of her eyes.
"You saw that?" Lucas tugged at his tie.
Henry asked, "What did you see, President?"
"Nothing, as long as you saw it,"
Henry was a little surprised. Was the CEO admitting his relationship with Sophia? And judging by Sophia's appearance, she was being forced to do it?
Lucas had been the CEO of LU Group for seven years, from the age of 22 to 29. Henry had never seen him with a woman before, and now...
He'd lost his virginity?
Henry: "CEO, don't worry, I'll keep your secret."
"Mm." Lucas lit a cigarette and looked out the window with a complex expression.
Sophia, you want to run away? Dream on.
