Take Me Away

Sophia went back to the company with Jason. She searched everywhere for Fiona but couldn't find her, so she called her to ask her why she had left work so early. After hearing the reason Fiona had left, she banged the table and yelled, "I'm not going to work here either!"

Fiona was lying on her couch when Sophia called. "Don't do anything rash."

"I'm not. I'm just pissed off! I should have known he would do something like that. What an asshole! Charles is a bad man. He's so disgusting. I can't believe that he wants to sleep with you even though he has so many girlfriends," Sophia said angrily. "Fiona, it's best you stay at home for a while."

"Yes, I need to avoid dealing with him, but I can't stay at home all the time." Fiona's lips curled into a shy smile as she looked at her computer screen. "I'm going out tomorrow."

"What? Why? Where?" Sophia asked worriedly.

"Hmm... I'll keep it a secret for now," Fiona said.

"Then go. But be careful!" Sophia cautioned her.

"I will," she assured Sophia. Then, after thinking for a while, she asked, "Do you like working there?"

"No, I don't." Sophia took this opportunity to rant. "Guess what? I went to meet a client today. The woman is a fat swine who looked down on me and insulted me. As if that wasn't enough, Jason yelled at me as soon as I got back. I hate this job. I have no plans to work here anymore."

"I hope what I told you doesn't affect your work and your relationship with the Wen family."

"Did Charles' actions change the way you feel about Ryan? Do you think they're the same?" Sophia questioned.

"What? Of course not," Fiona said without a second thought.

"Okay. Anyway, don't worry about me. I'm just concerned about this issue with Charles. Well, it's all your fault, Fiona. You are too pretty!"

"Are you really blaming me?" Fiona giggled. "Sophia, you're gorgeous too."

"Well, right!" Sophia accepted her compliment with a shy smile. "Is George still working with your husband?"

Upon hearing Sophia mention the word "husband," Fiona flushed red and timidly played with the tassels on the sofa cover. "He's gone back to P City."
