Drenched in Love novel Chapter 116

Stephen also notice it and his eyes became burning.

Noticing his sight, Sophia raised her head with a frown.

Suddenly, Stephen stood up and turned to leave after putting down the glass.

Sophia went back to her room and changed her clothes again. On the way to the company, she drove her Panamera really fast, so she barely arrived in the last minute and punched in.

There were a crowd of people standing before the staff elevator. When Sophia came across and waited for the elevator with them, all of them greeted her. Sophia was first blank and then smiled in embarrassment after realizing why they were so polite to her.

When the elevator was about to arrive at the floor, the crowd suddenly became quiet and looked at the doorway of the company. Following their sight in surprise, Sophia saw the white customized shoes of Stephen reached up from the back seat of the Rolls-Royce. Then he showed up in front of them.

Thanks to his handsome face, powerful aura and status, the sights of all the female employees were resting on him.

Under the gaze of all the people, Stephen walked in the President's exclusive elevator. After the elevator went up, the crowd was silent for a moment and some female employees began to exclaim, "Mr. Berry is really one of a kind!"

"He's like the President in a President series novel."

After a few discussion, the sights of all the people rested on Sophia. They were either jealous, unreconciled or calm. In the most widespread rumor in the Berry Group, Sophia was the one who was in a relationship with Stephen.

Sophia silently walked in the elevator with her eyelids drooped and didn't say anything.

But it didn't mean that she was not thinking about it. The moment she saw Stephen just now, she had to admit that he cut quite a figure in spite of their bad relationship. But would such a men really like her?

No! To be exact, would such a man really pretend to like her just to revenge on her? If so, then Stephen so naive.

Thinking about how she behaved after those words of Stephen and what happened during the breakfast this morning, Sophia thought that she was flattering herself and Stephen was just laughing at her.

Sophia smiled self-mockingly.

After getting off work in the noon, Sophia came to clean the President's office in the 28th floor.

After pushing the door open and walking in, Sophia was relieved when she didn't see Stephen who always sat behind the desk before. She was about to clean the office when the voice of Stephen came from the inner room, "Come over. I'm here."

Sophia was scared by the sudden voice of Stephen. She bit her lips and walked into the inner room, founding that Stephen was sitting on the sofa with food placed on the table before him.

After Sophia walked in, Stephen glanced up at her and patted the sofa next to him and said, "Come and have the lunch."

Sophia was speechless.

Glancing at Stephen, Sophia didn't see anything from his face. Thinking for a while, she walked over to sit down and began to eat.

When she just picked up the chopsticks, an executive of the Berry Group knocked at the door and came in after Stephen asked him in.

Sophia put down the chopsticks immediately and was going to went to the outer room of the office when Stephen grabbed her wrist to force her to sit next to him and said, "Say what you want to say."

Glancing at Sophia, the executive collected his thoughts and began to report to Stephen.

Stephen was eating while listening to the executive's report and gave some suggestions form time to time. Glimpsing Sophia sitting next to him stiffly, he frowned and asked, "Why don't you eat?"

The executive thought that Stephen was talking to him, so he stopped reporting and looked at Stephen nervously, "What did you say, Mr. Berry? I'm sorry I didn't catch it."

"I'm not talking to you." said Stephen.

He looked at Sophia and ordered, "Eat the food!"

Hearing it, Sophia took the chopsticks and began to eat.

After the executive left, Stephen picked a pie in the meal box and took it to the mouth of Sophia.

Looking at the greasy pie before her eyes, Sophia was a little confused as she was not certain about what Stephen meant by saying that he wanted to kill her with a pie. Was it a reflection of the "Pie Theory" she talked about with Hazel Hawkins before, or purely what it meant literally?

After Sophia ate the pie, Stephen put down the chopsticks.

"I'm full, Mr. Berry. I..."

Stephen leered at her and said, "I'm not full."

Sophia was speechless.

Stephen just sat there with an obvious intention of letting her feed him.

Sophia wrung her fingers.

Stephen looked at her again and said, "Are you going to starve me?"

Sophia was speechless again.

Being forced to be fed by Stephen and to feed Stephen were two different things to Sophia. She could never feed Stephen here.

The discontent in the eyes of Stephen grew.

Sophia stood up and asked, "Mr. Berry, what you said that day is just a joke, isn't it?"

Stephen poured a cup of tea for himself and asked after taking a drink of it, "What?"

Sophia said, "You said you were going to kill me with a pie that day. You were just kidding me, weren't you?"

Standing up to look at her, Stephen asked with a mocking smile, "What do you think ? Do you expect that I was joking with you?"

Sophia felt a little out of breath to face Stephen when he was sitting there. Now that he stood up, she was even more nervous as her palms were sweaty. She had a lot to say in her mind, but there was only one sentence left when she was about to speak, "Stephen, you don't really fall in love with me, do you?"

As soon as saying it, Sophia regretted. But then she was relieved as she preferred to ask straightly instead of guessing what Stephen was thinking about, just like what she did to her and Vincent Adams.

Stephen suddenly changed his countenance. But then he looked down at her with a smile and said, "I fall in love with you? You are so narcissistic, Sophia. Do you think any man in the world will fall in love with you?"

"I will never fall in love with you even though you are the only woman in the world! Don't flatter yourself! But..."

Stephen lowered his head with his forehead almost touching that of hers and said, "Even though I don't fall in love with you, you are never allowed to come to any other man before I abandon you."

"Sophia, you're mine, despite that I don't want to admit it. You can't fall in love with any other person or cuckold me, or...you know the consequences!"
