Drenched in Love novel Chapter 109

"Sophia! Sophia!"

Hazel called for several times before Sophia brought herself back to earth: "What's the matter?"

Hazel frowned and looked at her: "Sophia, what's the matter with you? You are out of your mind for the whole morning. Everyone has gone for launch. Won’t you go?"

Sophia raised her wrist and looked at the time. Until then, she realized that it was already half past twelve, and she stood up and walked out immediately: "Let's go!"

In the canteen on the 22nd floor.

Hazel looked up at Sophia for the third time, and finally she couldn't help but ask: "Sophia, what's the matter with you? It seems that you have something on your mind."

Sophia clenched her chopsticks more tightly.

Ever since she was caught by Stephen on the plane, she felt that Stephen began to treat her differently. The way he looked at her was...

They had an intimate relationship once because of an accident, but Stephen was reluctant at that time, but now…

Some of his behaviors were no longer full of reluctance but…

Sophia pursed her lips tightly.

"Sophia!" Seeing Sophia become absent-minded again, Hazel raised her voice.

Sophia came back to herself: "I..."

When Sophia was confused about how to cover it up, her cell phone rang. Sophia took out her phone as if it was a savior.

Here came Stephen's cold voice: "Sophia, you are completely out of control now! Have you forgotten what you should do at this time?"

Sophia didn't understand him.

Stephen continued: "I’ll give you ten minutes to come to my office immediately!"

Sophia apologized to Hazel and ran up to the 28th floor.

Pushing open the door of the president's office, Sophia saw Stephen sitting behind the desk with a cold face.

Seeing her coming in, Stephen's eyes flashed but he calmed down as soon as possible. He stood up and walked to Sophia. He said coldly, "Clean up here before I come back!"

After Stephen left, his secretary came in and handed Sophia a pair of unused latex gloves: "The president asked you to put them on before cleaning."

Sophia took the gloves and went to the bathroom to get a basin and a cloth.

She had got used to this: Now she was doing it again, and she didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. Instead, because of Stephen's order, she told herself in mind: She thought too much. Stephen was still as before, and he had long hated her.

Although the effect of this comfort would not last long, Sophia still forced herself to believe it.

She didn't know that after Stephen left the president's office, he did not leave the 28th floor: Instead he walked into the room opposite the president's office. After opening the curtains, he began to look at Sophia who was cleaning in his office through the two-layer window.

Stephen took out a cigarette pack from his pocket. He took one from the pack and lit it. Through the smoke of the cigarette, he squinted his eyes slightly and couldn't help looking at Sophia who was cleaning his office again.

Looking at the slender figure, his irritability calmed down gradually.

Standing in front of the window, Stephen smoked one after another. When Sophia finished cleaning and began to gather up the basin and cloth in the office opposite, he broke the half-burned cigarette and threw it on the ground. He turned around and walked out of the room.

Sophia raised her hand to wipe the sweat on her forehead. She took a look at the time, and it was almost time to go to work. She opened the door of the office, and before she could step out, Stephen's iconic white suit broke into her eyes. There was also a strong smell of tobacco.

Sophia was startled and she greeted Stephen: "Mr. Berry."

Stephen stood with his back to Sophia. Neither did he speak nor turned around.

Sophia frowned and looked at Stephen's back. Seeing that he was standing there still, she bit her lip, wondering whether to leave or not.

Stephen happened to be standing at the door of the office and she was still in the office. If she wanted to go out, she had to squeeze past Stephen and she would inevitably touch him. But if she didn’t leave...

Without looking up, Sophia could feel that there were many eyes falling on her like needles.

In the Berry villa, she had embarrassing encounters with Grace twice. And Grace had already misunderstood the relationship between her and Stephen. She didn't want to make the company gossip about her.

"Mr. Berry, I cleaned up your office. You can come in and check it." Sophia reminded him.

Stephen still didn't move.

Sophia frowned, and when she was about to push Stephen away, Stephen turned around suddenly. Sophia failed to stand still, and bumped into Stephen's arms, causing Stephen to step back.

She raised her head in astonishment, and didn't notice Stephen's face. Instead, she saw Daniel, who was behind Stephen, widen his eyes for surprise.

Sophia froze for a moment, and she moved her eyes to Stephen's face slowly.

There was no expression on Stephen's face, and he was as calm as before. He reached out and grabbed Sophia's wrist and pulled in.

"What are you doing, Stephen? I didn't mean to hit you on purpose! I have reminded you for several times, but you didn’t move, and I was anxious to go to work, so I..."

Stephen pressed Sophia on the chair. Sophia stood up abruptly: "Stephen, we are in the company! This is your office! If you are angry with me, let’s deal with it at home. Could you please let me go in the company?”

Before Sophia could finish, Stephen threw a bag in front of her. Sophia looked over and found that there were packed dishes inside.

Sophia was startled for a moment. When she was trying to say something, she found that Stephen had already started eating by sitting opposite her.

The food sent by Daniel was obviously better than that provided by the company canteen, but Sophia didn’t have appetite at all.

Stephen, who was sitting opposite, was too strong and powerful. And his attitude was really weird recently.

When Stephen had finished eating, Sophia had half of the food left. Sophia noticed that Stephen frowned, so she began to eat quickly. She left in a hurry after finishing.

Seeing her rushing into the office in a panic, Hazel asked her jokingly: "Sophia, what's the matter with you? Is there a wolf chasing you behind?"

Sophia patted her chest, and couldn't help saying to herself: There was really a wolf chasing me, and it was a wolf that blew hot and cold.

For the next few days, Stephen let her run and eat with him, and Sophia became a little accustomed to this which had made her embarrassed at the beginning. But she became more and more disturbed.

In the summer of ST, there was a lot of rain. At noon that day, the sky became gloomy. When Sophia got off work, it was already raining cats and dogs.

Sophia drove her car in the heavy rain.

The windshield was working constantly, but she still could not see the way ahead clearly. Sophia drove the car cautiously, and she encouraged herself: It was already halfway through, and there was only half way left.
