Drenched in Love novel Chapter 39

As the bedroom’s door opened, Hazel entered with a glass of water in her hand.

After taking the medicine, Hazel could not help but ask, “Sophia, what is the matter? Why are you sitting in the street?”

Why she she sitting in the street?

Sophia pressed her lips, fell into silence for a moment and shook her head, “Nothing. My house was on fire.”

Sophia did not tell the truth, at least not all the truth, because she had a lot of bruises and red palm marks on face. She did not want to mention it and Hazel did not ask.

Hazel could guess her situation, so let her temporarily live here. Sophia refused, Hazel said, “I live alone and I am afraid. Stay with me.”

Sophia was very grateful.

Sophia lived with Hazel. When Hazel went to work, she cleaned the house, washed clothes, and then went to find a job. She was not sure if Vincent refused to let go of her, she failed to find a job after three days. Even no one wanted to her wash plates.

On the third day, Hazel came back with pizza.

“Sophia, come for the pizza! It is from my favorite store!”

Sophia and Hazel sat on the sofa to eat pizza and watch TV happily. When they were enjoying, there was a violent knock at the door.

The Hazel grumbled in discontent, “Who is it?” As she said this, she put on her slippers and opened the door.

Sophia continued to sit on the sofa and watch TV. Soon, Hazel's voice came from the door, “What are you doing?!”

“Where's Emmanuel Hawkins? Emmanuel, come out!” The speaker's tone was not good.

Sophia frowned and walked over wearing slippers. Six people were to rush in with sticks. Hazel could not stop that but keep back.

Hazel’s surname was Hawkins and her full name was Hazel Hawkins, Emmanuel Hawkins was her twin brother.

“My brother is not here. What do you want with my brother?!”

“Not here?”

The bearded man in the lead waved his hand, and the men behind immediately rushed in and started rummaging. Hazel's house was small with only one room and one living room, soon they had rumbled through, but nothing was found.

“Since your brother is not here, you come with us!”

Two people caught Hazel's arm, Hazel shouted, “Who are you? Why are you looking for my brother? What has my brother done to you?!”

“Hum! Your brother stole our boss's woman! We will find him and get rid of him!” A man with a beard stretched out his hand to raise Hazel's chin, “You look pretty, I will take you back to our boss, taking it as interest for Emmanuel!”

“You can't take her away!” Sophia blocked in front of Hazel, “You are breaking the law! I'll call the police to arrest you!”

“Arrest us?” The men seemed to have heard a funny joke. “The police will arrest you not us. Take them away!”

Seeing that they were to be taken away by this group of gangsters, Sophia blurted out, “I am Stephen Berry's woman! If you took me, he will not spare you!”

“Stephen Berry? Which Stephen Berry?” The man with the beard seemed to be afraid.

Hazel did that expect that Sophia would say so, she looked at her, dumbfounded. She didn’t know if what she said was true or was just tricking these bastards.

Sophia broke free and rescued Hazel’s hands. She raised her chin, “In ST, there is only one Stephen Berry from the Berry Group.”

The man with the beard looked Sophia up and down: According to her appearance, it was reasonable that Stephen liked her, but...

“The ST people know that Stephen never has a woman around! Are you fooling us?!”

Sophia clenched fist and suppressed the tension in heart, “Who is your boss? Tell me! I'll ask Stephen to talk to your boss!”

“Our boss is Austin Foster from the Foster Group!”

Sophia Frowned. After being released from prison, she only knew a person called Austin Foster, that man who was looking at her in the party, and that man who had thought to be the savior when she was bullied by a group of gangsters.

“Austin Foster! Tell him to wait, I will ask Stephen to talk to him!” Sophia said firmly. The gangsters had doubts, but they left.

After the panic, Hazel held Sophia's hand excitedly, “Sophia, do you have a relationship with Mr. Berry?”

In Hazel’s eager eyes, Sophia shook her head.

Hazel’s face turned pale, “You said just now......”

“I was just trying to scare them. If I didn't, they'll take us both away.”

Hazel was depressed and hung her head, “What should I do? If they cannot find my brother, they will come again.” With that, Hazel jumped up. “I'm going to call my brother!”

When she came back, Hazel was angry, “That asshole Austin Foster molested college students in the student, my brother scolded him and let the college students run away. So he wanted to beat my brother!”

Hazel was dejected, “Sophia, let’s pack things. My brother says we can't afford to mess with those people. Pack up and hide for a few days.”

With that, Hazel went to pick up her clothes. Sophia frowned and stopped her, “Stop that, no matter where we go, they will find us if they want to. Running away is not the way, we have to find a way to solve this problem.”

Sophia pondered for a moment and added, “I'm going to find Stephen.”

On the second day to work, Sophia went with Hazel. Hazel went to the public relations department, and Sophia went to the president's office.

Daniel was surprised to see Sophia, “Sophia, what are you doing here?” She finally was managed to leave the Berry Group, but not she came back to the president's office again. What was wrong with her?

“I want to talk with Mr. Berry. Is Mr. Berry in the office now?”

Daniel looked at Sophia and waved his hand to her, “Yes, you can go in.”
