Drenched in Love novel Chapter 57

Under his sleeve, Stephen slowly grasped his fist.

Before seeing Sophia bit lips, he inexplicably felt he wanted to kiss her. He told himself it was Sophia deliberately trying to seduce him. It was not his problem.

But now seeing Natalia bit her lip, he did not have any feeling.

It wasn't the act of biting lip seduced him, it was...

This cognition made Stephen feel flustering and fear. He unclenched his fist and then looked at Sophia coldly.

"Mr. Berry, I did not steal the money." Sophia explained.

Stephen ignored that. He took the irresistible pressure, step by step walked to Sophia. Sophia bit her lip, thinking whether her attitude should be tough.

Stephen suddenly reached out his hand and freed her lips from her teeth. His fingers did not leave Sophia, slowly downward, pinched her chin and slightly raised it.

Such a posture was like that in the TV series. The bully president pinched the chin of the heroine, the next moment, he should kiss on her lips.

The crowd was stunned to see that. Hazel standing beside felt heartbeat faster: Did Mr. Berry like Sophia?

The next moment, the kiss Hazel looked forward did not appear.

Stephen loosened Sophia's chin and looked at her coldly, “Don't bite your lips, it’s ugly!"

"Who are you?” Stephen took back two steps and kept distance with Sophia.

Sophia felt his voice could freeze people. But his question was weird.

‘Who are you?’ He had made her sign a contract, she worked as a servant at his villa, he had roared her name like an angry lion several times, and now he asked who she was!

At this time, Hazel thought: Wasn’t Sophia the servant at his home?

Before she followed Sophia back and saw Sophia and Stephen one after another got into the villa. She thought Sophia was a servant in Mr. Berry’s villa, and now it seemed that it was not the truth.

No matter how they thought, she had to answer Stephen’s question.

Sophia bowed her head and answered, “My name is Sophia Carter, a new employee in the public relations department."

"Sophia Carter?" Stephen snorted, "What a bad name!"

Sophia, “..."

"Which school did you graduate from?"

Sophia looked up at Stephen and told him after she was sure he asked her.

"Undergraduate?" Mr. Berry continued to ask.

Sophia shook her head, “I had an accident when I was a senior, so I did not get the graduation certificate." She told the company when she applied for the job, but the recruitment director said: it doesn't matter, we pay no attention to education background but ability.

Stephen sneered, “So you only have degree of high school. The staff of our public relations department was graduate students at least. No wonder you have low quality, even stole money from the colleague. It turns out that you did not get higher education!"

There were jeers in the office. Jennifer glanced at them coldly and that laughter was suppressed, but everyone heard that clearly.

Sophia suddenly looked up at Stephen and then lowered her head after seeing his cold eyes.

Stephen snorted, “Stand at the door of the company, let everyone see who stole the money!"

Stephen not only let Sophia stood at the door of the company, but also ordered people to write a sign and put it on the top of the head: I am a thief.

It was morning, when it was not yet time to get off work, from time to time someone looked down see Sophia.

By the time of getting off work in the afternoon, a lot of people had gathered around Sophia, almost blocking the door of the company.

In the crowd of onlookers, Sophia gritted teeth hard, holding back her tears.

Dragging her tired body, she went back to the villa and then fell asleep lying on the bed. In the middle of the night, she was once again waken up by that familiar but weird noise.

Sophia pulled up the blanket to cover her head, she told herself over and over again in the heart: it is false, it is false, it is false, it's not true!

But the voice grew clearer and louder. Sophia clearly felt the wind coming through the cracks into the blanket. Sophia lifted the blanket and found a long hair female ghost was slowly coming out from the ground in the green light.

Sophia got the courage, grabbed the blanket, got out of the bed barefoot, and suddenly rushed to the female ghost. With a harsh scream, the ghost disappeared in front of her.

Sophia stepped there, clearly felt the hard floor under her feet. It's a flat surface, and even water could not come out of it.

When Sophia was stunned, there was cool wind from behind. She turned around and saw that female ghost again dived down from mid-air. Sophia could clearly feel the cool breeze that it brought, as a knife cutting in her face.

Sophia finally screamed and as usual rushed to the living room. But no matter how hard she twisted the door this time, it would not open.

The female ghost had followed behind. Sophia turned around, just to see the female ghost open her big mouth to bite her. Sophia finally fainted.

This time Sophia woke up leaning on the door.

Thinking of all that happened before she fainted, Sophia's body suddenly trembled. Holding the door, she rose, stretched out her hand to open it, and found that the door, which she had been unable to open the night before, had opened at once.

Hannah had done breakfast. Stephen got down from upstairs and was ready to eat.

Seeing Sophia standing at the door with pale face, Stephen frowned.

Barefoot, Sophia got out of the bedroom, stood in front of Stephen and said, “Mr. Berry, I want to change a room to live in the evening.” She kept thinking that the room she lived in was haunted.

Stephen raised his eyebrows, “Sophia, did you forget your identity?"

Sophia shut her mouth. She was only a servant, who must complete all the tasks given by the master, and could not make any requests.

This noon, when Sophia was ready to have lunch in canteen, her phone rang. It was a text message: Do you want to know where your father and your brother is now? The address is in the back. It is near the Berry Group.
