Sophia ran a kilometer before she stopped. She relaxed until she confirmed that the man with a dark face didn't follow her.

Taking her phone out to check the time, Sophia's eyes almost fell on the screen of her phone. "Today is Monday!" She thought.

"OMG, I'm so lost because of my failed relationship that I forgot the working day." Sophia thought.

Next moment, Sophia reached out to take a taxi and headed for the company.

However, she was late for five minutes despite of her efforts.

"Well, I lose the full-attendance bonus of this month which is five hundred yuan." Sophia thought.

"Damn, I want to curse the dark-face man when I think of him. It costs me six hundred and fifty yuan for one night, which could buy me lunch for a month." Sophia thought.

"But thinking of the handsome guy with lots of muscle, I can take it that I pay for a male prostitute. This kind of perfect prostitutes normally costs a lot more than six hundred and fifty yuan." Sophia could only comfort herself by thinking this way.

The minute she walked into the office, Sophia found the atmosphere of the office today was strange, because everybody hung their heads down, as if they were eggplants which got frostbite.

At the moment, her colleague Lily Hill came over. "Did you read the notice on the company intranet?"

"What notice?" "I was enjoying the service of a perfect prostitute last night. How could I have time to read the notice?" Sophia thought.

"You don't know yet?" Lily was shocked.

Sophia skeptically turned on the computer and checked her e-mail. Then, she was frozen!

The recent rumor was true. The headquarters of Golden Age Group was moving to Riverend, and the branch where Sophia worked would be merged into the headquarters. Most important of all, the branch would lay off half of the employees.

"Does it mean that only half of employees in the Finance Department could stay?" Sophia took a glance at the six or seven employees in the Finance Department.

"No wonder they all seem sad and bitter today. The economy is bad, which makes it impossible to find a job with such a high pay." Sophia thought.

Lily patted Sophia's shoulder and comforted her, "Your professional skills are good. You definitely can stay!"

"Whether you stay or leave, I'll be with you!" Sophia said heroically.

Lily shook her head. "Now it's not the time to be emotional. You have to support your mother and your sister who is in college. As long as we can stay, we should cherish the opportunity."

Hearing this, Sophia lowered her head like a rooster which lost the fight.

"This is so called 'when a man is poor, his ambition is not far-reaching; when the horse is thin, its hair is especially long. '" Sophia thought.

Yet, Lily's burden was not light when her mother's expenses on life and medicine relied on her income. Sophia was worried at the time.

When it was near the time to get off work, Flora Field, manager of the Finance Department and nicknamed Destroy Nun walked in front of Sophia's desk and announced undoubtedly. "Sophia, the Human Resources Department is short in staff. Starting from tomorrow, you go to work at the Human Resources Department in the morning and return here in the afternoon."

Hearing this news, Sophia raised her head and tried to say something, yet the Destroy Nun had gone.

Lily ran over to mumble near Sophia's ears, "It must be the trick of Penny Fox, who is looking for a chance to mess with you!"

"When it comes to Penny, she is my enemy from last life and at this life." Sophia thought.

More than a decade ago, Sophia's unfaithful father cheated on her mother and hooked up with Penny's mother. In the end, he abandoned his wife and daughter to be with his mistress and bring up someone else's daughter.

"Penny and I are meant to be together. Several months ago, Penny came to our company as an intern and successfully hooked up with the Manager of the Human Resources Department, who allowed her to be official staff as an exception." Sophia thought.

Ever since Penny got the position, she always tried to pick on Sophia, but never succeeded. However, she kept trying to screw Sophia without being discouraged.

"I have to play the game. Do I have any other options? The command of the Destroy Nun must be obeyed, or I will be the first one to be laid off." Sophia shook her head helplessly.

"Good luck!" Lily looked at Sophia and said solemnly.
