Drenched in Love novel Chapter 69

“No.”

“No.”

Sophia and Stephen said at one accord. With that, two people subconsciously looked at each other. Sophia was embarrassed and, Stephen's eyes were cold.

After that person left, Stephen coldly looked at Sophia and turned to leave.

Sophia hesitated for a moment and followed up. Before they came, Stephen told her to always be with him and drank wine for him at any time.

Aware of the figure behind, Stephen suddenly stopped. Sophia did not notice it and hit Stephen on the back, “Mr. Berry......”

“What are you following me for? Do you want to tell people you are my woman?”

Sophia, “...” Fine, she would stop following him.

Sophia left with a glass. Without Mr. Berry by her side, she was much easier. Sophia put down the glass, picked up the plate to the buffet table, trying to have some food.

A tall man with blond hair and blue eyes came up and asked, “Pretty lady, are you alone?”

Sophia gave a smile on her face and talked with him.

With a dozen glasses of wine into the stomach, Stephen found an excuse to come out from the crowd and then found Sophia talking with three foreign men laughing. Stephen’s mood completely became depressed.

The man who greeted first asked, “Miss Carter, do you have a boyfriend? I wonder what a good man would be worthy of a beautiful woman like you.”

Sophia bowed her head and chuckled. That smile made the three men around stunned. As she wanted to answer “I have a boyfriend” to let these men give up, Stephen came carrying a tall glass over, “What are you doing here?”

After a few sentences, Stephen took Sophia away. In the corner with no one, Stephen’s face became cold. He turned around and scolded, “Sophia, you are the staff of the Berry Group public relations department, and this is also a part of your work! Please remember your own words and deeds will affect the image of the Berry Group!”

“Sophia, we are here to talk about work! Don't use your job to seduce men! Or I'll never forgive you!”

After that, Stephen left in a huff. Sophia left standing there in a daze and wondered what she had done wrong to anger Stephen.

The next morning after breakfast, Anthony brought people to the hotel to meet Stephen, invited him to see the building mall. Sophia and the secretaries, high levels followed them.

“You see, Mr. Berry, the main building of the mall can be completed in this month, and it will take about one more month to decorate, and it will be ready for business in three months.”

Stephen nodded, “With you watching over here, I can rest assured.”

After visiting the building under construction, it was already near noon, the sun rose in the middle of the sky, and it was hot. The crowd left. Stephen and Anthony walked in front, followed by Sophia and a few people.

It was very hot, Sophia looked up at the sky. As she lowered her head, she was suddenly aware of a huge object breaking into her line of sight from above.

Sophia was shocked, immediately looked up and found that the cross arm of the tower crane was hanging a long stone up. The long mechanical arm turned slowly and passed over the heads of the crowd. Sophia felt that the stone shake in the air.

Sophia blinked her eyes, and as she intended to take a close look, she found that the horizontal stone had been tilted and would soon fall down, and below...... there stood Stephen.

“Look out!” Sophia shouted, rushed to Stephen and pressed him to the ground, and tried her best to hold him to roll aside.

Then, with a loud noise, the stone fell down, fell on the ground next to Stephen and Sophia.

After a moment of silence, the site became noisy. Anthony and a few people gathered around Sophia and Stephen, workers also ran from all sides.

Stephen pressed Sophia on his body. Looking at her pale face, listening to her rapid breathing, he froze and soon realized what happened. He got up to hold Sophia, wanted to say something, but not a word could come out.

The long stone was in the place where he was standing on. If not Sophia......

“Are you all right?” Asked Anthony anxiously. He felt very guilty about what had happened.

Stephen shook his head. “I'm fine.”

“Sophia, are you all right?”

Sophia also shook her head, “I am all right.”

Sophia was still over Stephen. Anthony reached out his hand to help Sophia up. As Sophia got up half, she immediately fell down and hit Stephen down.

“What's the matter with you?” Stephen frowned, sat up holding Sophia, and then found that Sophia’s trouser was under the stone. Stephen's face became pale. He reached out to touch and found it was only the trouser, which made him relieved.

The stone was moved, and the ambulance came and took Stephen and Sophia to the hospital. After examination, the doctor said they just had slight bruises. Anthony was relieved.

Anthony apologized, “Sorry, I am sorry, it is my mistake.” Anthony looked at Stephen and Sophia with fear, and then said to Sophia, “Sophia, if you hurt your leg, I really don't know how to face your grandfather.”

Sophia smiled and shook her head, “Mr. Johnson, I am fine.”

Anthony nodded.

Sophia took Stephen's car back to the hotel. All the way there was a subdued silence.

When they arrived at the hotel and were to enter their rooms, Stephen asked, “Why did you save me?”

Sophia had asked him why he saved her after coming out of the hospital for her suicide. Stephen answered: You are my servant, your life is mine. You can't die until I tell you to. When I think you can die, you can die.

Now it was Stephen who asked the question.

Stephen's rescue was totally from Sophia's rescue. Stephen just held her to the hospital, but Sophia was risking her life to save him. She'll probably die.
