Drenched in Love novel Chapter 65

Sophia had been used to Stephen’s unstable mood these days. Emotionless, she took a rag, knelt on the floor and wiped the floor.

By the time she had finished wiping the floor, it was midnight. Sophia took a bath, lay in bed and was ready to sleep. Hannah came knocking at the door and said to her, “Mr. Berry wants to see you.”

Sophia could not help but frown: it was late, what did Stephen want?

Confused, she went upstairs and got into his room, but no one was there.

“Mr. Berry?”

No one answered .Sophia looked around, and was to ask Hannah after making sure there was on one. The bathroom door suddenly opened, Stephen who had just finished taking a bath came out.

Sophia took backward two steps.

She looked away, tried not to let her line of sight to Stephen, but the picture of it was in the mind. Strong muscles, honey-colored chest, and water left on the body after the shower...

Sophia knew Stephen had a good figure, but she did not expect he had strong muscles under his clothes.

“Mr. Berry, what do you want to see me about?” Preventing herself to think too much, Sophia asked. The smell of post-shower lotion filled the tip of her nose. Sophia did not know what brand of the lotion was, she just felt it was good smell, which was very suitable for people like him.

Stephen walked to the window wearing a towel and sipping a cup of green tea, “From today on, as long as I am in the villa, you will be responsible for my food, clothing, housing and transportation. You can't sleep until I go to bed at night. You must wake up in the morning before I wake up.”

“Yes.” Sophia said.

“And, after work at noon, clean my office.” Stephen turned around, and his eyes fixed on her. “Go there immediately after work at noon without a moment's delay. Do you understand?”

Sophia nodded. She could not refuse in the present circumstances.

At 5:30 the next morning, Sophia got up. She got Stephen’s morning exercise sportswear ready, and then poured a cup of warm water, so that Stephen could drink when he got up. Having done this, she went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Stephen got up, drank water and went to the garden for morning exercises. An hour later, Sophia got breakfast ready, and Stephen washed after morning exercise. Sophia turned on the TV, tuned to the financial channel, so that Stephen could watch TV while having breakfast.

After breakfast, the driver drove a Rolls-Royce with Stephen the company, followed by Sophia in her car.

11:30 p.m it was break time. Sophia packed up and was to go out. Hazel called her, “Sophia, where are you going? My brother said he is going to bring lunch today!”

Sophia said while walking out, “Hazel, thank your brother for me. I have something to do at noon recently, and I can eat with you. You two eat.”

Sophia took an elevator to the 28th floor. She stood at the door of the president's office. A secretary stopped her and asked, “Miss Carter, what are you doing up here?”

From the first day she entered the Berry Group, she was the protagonist of the gossip. After the suicide, almost everyone in the company knew her.

“It was Mr. Berry who asked me up.” Sophia was honest.

The secretary was skeptical. Stephen's voice came from inside, “Come in.”

Sophia pushed the door and entered.

Stephen was still buried in a pile of documents. Sophia came in, and he said without raising his head, “Start cleaning.”

Stephen's office was a suite, the inside was a place to rest, while the outside was a place to work. She did not know how it looked inside. The outside was huge, with a desk in the middle, a boss's chair, a bookshelf against the wall, and nothing else.

Stephen's office was clean. Sophia still wiped the floor, bookshelf and so on. When she wiped to the side where Stephen was, Stephen did not get up, so Sophia had to kneel on the ground, reached her band to the bottom of the chair.

She inevitably touched his clothes. Sophia was stunned and then avoided it immediately and was to wipe other places. Sophia always felt that the tip of the nose was haunted by a light smell, like that on Stephen after bath.

Sophia shook her head, hoping to get rid of that smell.

When Sophia was working on the 28th floor, Emmanuel again appeared in the public relations department on the 8th floor with two insulation bottles.

As soon as he entered the door, Emmanuel looked around, “Hazel, where is Sophia?”

From her brother’s performance during these days, Hazel sensed something and she answered honestly, “Sophia said she had something to do at noon and she left.”

Emmanuel frowned.

Hazel continued, “Brother, Sophia said, recently she has no time at noon and told us to eat.”

Emmanuel felt disappointed but said. “Since she is not here, Hazel, you eat.”

On 28th floor.

It took Sophia two hours to clean up the president's office. The air conditioning was on and it was cool, but Sophia's forehead got sweat on it, even her nose had sweat too.

Sophia took a breath, lifted her hand to wipe off the sweat on her nose. When she looked up, she found Stephen looking at her with gentle eyes instead of the cold ones she had seen before.

Gentle...

Sophia felt inappropriate to think in that way.

Stephen was cold, not gentle.

Seeing that Sophia noticed his line of sight, Stephen immediately looked away. It was document in front of him, and he knew almost everything and was ready to sign. But document suddenly became sweat on Sophia’s nose, and her heaving chest out of fatigue.

Stephen threw the document on the desk irritably.

Sensing the office’s low pressure, Sophia could not help but look up at Stephen, only to see Stephen was coldly staring at her. Sophia felt that kind of eyes was normal. The present Stephen was the normal Stephen.

When it was almost time for work, Daniel packed a meal and left it in the break room.

Stephen got up and went to the break room. Sophia looked at the time and was ready to go back to work, but was stopped by Stephen, “Sophia!”

Sophia stopped and turned around. A white bag flew toward her. Sophia took it over and found that it was a box lunch.

“Eat before you go back, lest you faint in the office out of hunger, and lest others think I abuse staff!”

These words were followed by a bang and the door to the break room closed.
