Drenched in Love
Chapter 112: Fall Directly on His Lips

Looking at Stephen, Sophia frowned slightly, with an exploratory look in her eyes.

Stephen stood by the bed, staring at her condescendingly. He was so calm that no emotions could be seen in his eyes.

They looked at each other for a moment, and Sophia decided to give up. It was too difficult to snoop something from someone like Stephen.

There were three people in the room, Sophia, who was lying in the bed, Stephen and Hannah who were both standing. None of them spoke, so, there was an awkward silence in the room. When Sophia thought of what happened in the heavy rain, and the cold fingertips that fell around her eyes when she woke up, an idea popped up in her mind, causing a tremor in her heart. On the night of the heavy rain, Stephen appeared on the road. Did he pass by accidentally, or did he come out to replace her when he found that she hadn't gone back home?

Sophia looked up at Stephen again.

Sophia's bright eyes made Stephen frowned slightly. Stephen spoke before she could, as if he knew what she was going to ask. He glanced at her in disgust, and said relentlessly: "How dirty you are!" "Hannah, you stay here and take care of her! I'm going upstairs!"

Then Stephen left.

After closing the door, Hannah stood in front of the door and held the doorknob in silence for a moment. When she turned around, there was no expression on her face.

Sophia touched her forehead and found that there was cold and sticky sweat on it. She got off the bed and went to the bathroom to take a shower and put on a clean pajama.

After Sophia dried her hair, Hannah came in with a bowl of porridge and two dishes: "Miss Carter, these are for you. I'll come and clean up when you finish."

Sophia didn't feel hungry at all, so she only ate half a bowl of porridge. Not long after Hannah took the leftovers away, Stephen came in with wet hair, and it seemed that he had just taken a shower. "Why didn't you eat?" Stephen asked with a frown.

Sophia was puzzled: "Mr. Berry, I have eaten."

"Half a bowl of porridge? A bird might eat more than you!"

Before Sophia could speak, Stephen grabbed her by the wrist and dragged her to the dining room. He forced her to sit at the table, and pushed a large bowl of soup and two dishes in front of her: "Eat them all!" Sophia: "..."

Sophia tried her best to eat, but still could not finish all of them. The more she ate, the more stuffed her stomach was. Sophia felt that she couldn't have another bite anymore.

She couldn't help looking at Stephen, who had finished the breakfast earlier and was sitting in the living room watching the financial news now. After the glance, she lowered her head and continued to eat: Stephen was becoming more and more mercurial recently. If she didn't listen to him, God knew what he would do to her.

When Sophia lowered her head, Stephen, who was watching the financial news seemingly, turned around to look at her. Seeing her frowning and forcing herself to eat, he also frowned. She was too stuffed to eat anymore.

Looking at the half a plate of food left, Sophia wanted to cry. When she was about to take another bite, a shadow enveloped her. She looked up and saw Stephen's permanent white suit. Stephen grabbed the chopsticks from Sophia and popped it on the table. "If you can't eat anymore, then don't! Why don't you stop?"

After saying this, Stephen turned and left, leaving Sophia dumbfounded.

When Sophia went back to her room, her phone rang, and it was from Hazel: "Sophia, are you okay? Why didn't you come to work for the whole day?"

Didn't come to work for the whole day?

Sophia took the phone closer and checked the calendar: It turned out that a whole day had passed! She thought it was still that raining night!

"Sophia? Sophia? Are you listening to me? Are you okay?" Hazel's anxious voice came from the phone.

Sophia held the phone near her ear and said: "Hazel, I'm fine. Last night...no, the night before, I caught a cold in the rain, so I didn't go to work today."

Sophia sat on the bed and chatted with Hazel. When they were enjoying their chat, Hazel asked suddenly, "Sophia, my birthday is coming next week. Do you have time? How about we celebrate it together?" "Your birthday? That's great! I will definitely celebrate it with you!"

Hanging up the phone, Sophia checked Hazel's birthday on the calendar and thought: No matter what, she would go to celebrate for Hazel's birthday. Even if she had to ask Stephen for a leave, she would still go. After all, Hazel was her best friend since she was released from the prison. But, what birthday gift should she prepare for her?

Sophia frowned: She had to figure out how to get the money for Hazel's gift.

After sleeping all day and night, Sophia didn't feel sleepy at all. And she fell asleep in the midnight, but fortunately, she got up on time the next morning.

After the breakfast, Stephen left by

car. Sophia went to look for her car. After searching for a round in the garage, she didn't replace her car. The servant told her: "Miss Carter, your car was sent for repair, and it has not been sent back yet."

Sophia had no choice but to walk to the company in high heels. She had been absent from work for a day, so she must go to the company today.

After walking for over half an hour,

Sophia finally walked out of the villa zone. She frowned and raised her

hand to wipe the sweat on her forehead, and then took a break. When she was about to continue, a black Rolls-Royce stopped by her side with a sudden brake

When the double-glazed car window was rolled down, she saw Stephen's cold face: "Sophia, what are you doing?"

"Mr. Berry, I'm going to work."

Stephen's brows tightened: "Going to work? If the employees in the Berry Group are all like you and play hooky whenever they want, the Berry Group has closed down already!"

Sophia lowered her head and said nothing.

Stephen looked at her coldly for a moment, and then opened the door of the car: "Get in!"

The backseat of the Rolls-Royce was very spacious, but Stephen sat in the middle, so Sophia got in and sat on the side. Although she had leant to the side as much as possible, she could not avoid touching Stephen. Sophia bit her lip awkwardly, and she concentrated on the scenery outside the window.

Having something on mind, though she looked out of the window, the scenery outside did not fall into her eyes. It took a while for Sophia to realize that this was not the way to the Berry Group! This was the way back to the Berry villa!

Sophia turned her head abruptly to ask Stephen. But she didn't realize that Stephen was also looking at her, so, when she turned her head, her lips swept through Stephen's face... and fell directly on his lips. Sophia dilated her eyes in surprise.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
