Drenched in Love

Chapter 29 Mr. Berry Have Given You to Me

Sophia came out with a face in a good state. The hair had been done. It was short attaching above the

ear, clean and neat.

She was really a beauty. With simple make up, she was eye-catching.

Stephen darkened his eyes and looked down from her face.

Sophia only wore a common dress, which did not catch a second look, but it perfectly outlined Sophia's

thin waist. Stephen could not help but think of that night, the slippery feeling on her waist......

Daniel noticed Stephen's absence, whispered as a reminder, “Mr. Berry, Miss Carter came out.”

Stephen realized his gaffes. With a gloomy face, he took a look at Sophia and coldly said, “As a

member of the public relations department, to protect face is also one of the daily duty. Please don't

mess around with men, lest your face got broken by their wives and ruin my business!”

With these words, Stephen turned and walked away.

Sophia bit her lips, caught up with him when he got in the car. She said, “Please don't let me drink like

a prostitute! It doesn’t matter that I am beaten and my own face is damaged. If I ruin your business, I

can’t help it even if you kill me!”

With that, Sophia ignored Stephen's look, turned and went to the other side, opened the door and got

into the car. She said to herself: when this contract was done, when she got paid in a few days, she

would not work in the Berry Group.

Stephen promised her that he would consider letting her leave when the contract was done. She hoped

that Stephen would keep his word and would not go back on his word.

Rolls-Royce pulled up in front of the luxury hotel. Stephen took Sophia off.

At the door of the box, Stephen stopped, “You go first and wait, I need to use the bathroom.”

Sophia hesitated and took a look at Stephen. She did not move.

Stephen allowed her to do so and did not say a word.

Sophia compromised. She listened carefully and pushed the door open when she found that the box

was quiet without any sound.

The box was not empty. There was only one man in his fifties. In a black suit, he was having tea,

looking at the door with a smile.

“Miss Carter?” The man looked behind Sophia, “Do you come alone? Where's Mr. Berry?”

His voice was kind, so was his face, like a professor in the university. Sophia suddenly relaxed

vigilance.

She walked over to the man and poured him some tea. “Mr. Berry has something to deal with first,” she

said with a smile. “He'll be here soon.”

The man nodded, drank a mouthful of tea, casually asked about Sophia's life and work in the Berry

Group.

Sophia smiled and answered the questions one by one.

A pot of tea was finished, but Stephen had not yet come. Sophia had doubts and wanted to find an

excuse to go out to have a look, but the man said, “Sophia, I give you another job. How do you feel?”

Sophia looked up and found that the man's face with pleats almost stuck to her body. The man leaned

close to her and took a deep breath. His eyes were full of smiles. “You smell so good!”

Sophia changed her face and hurriedly got up to go outside. The man grabbed her wrist and pulled her

back into his arms. “Miss Carter, since you've come here, why go away? Serve me well tonight,

tomorrow, I will persuade Mr. Johnson to give this contract to the Berry Group.”

“Miss Carter, this is a great achievement!” The man said, rubbing Sophia's waist with hands.

Sophia’s face changed, “Sir, I don’t rely on this to earn achievements.”

“But Mr. Berry promised me that. Tonight, Mr. Berry had given you to me.”

Sophia struggled to come out of the man's arms, put down the chair and ran to the door. When she

tried to open the door, she failed.

Sophia got pale on face and saw the man coming over with a smile, “Miss Carter, do you believe it

now?”

Sophia’s heart had sunk to the bottom of the valley.

She believed. Of course she did. Stephen never intended to make her feel better. Humiliating her was

his favorite thing to do.

In the next box, only a wall separated from this box, Stephen stood at the window with a cigarette

between his fingers, which had burned most of it. He did not smoke, but let the cigarette burn between

his fingers.

Listening to the voice of the next door, Stephen had been darkening his face, silently looking out of the

window at heavy traffic on the road.

Daniel stood beside him and did not speak, quietly watching Stephen.

The voices in the next box grew more and more violent. The cigarette had fallen. Accompanied by

collision of tables and chairs, Stephen began to pace in the box.

Until Sophia shouted “help”, Stephen suddenly went to the box door, with his hands on the door handle,

as if he was to open the door to go out immediately.

But then he realized something. His hand froze and he did not go any further. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Daniel looked at Stephen's action frowning and did not speak.

Sophia's voice gradually went down. Stephen put his hand down from the door handle, turned around

and leaned on the wooden door. The look in his eyes was hazy, in which nothing could be seen.

He could not go. No, or he would be sorry...

Stephen's fist gradually got clenched. He slowly closed his eyes.

At that very moment, there was a “bang” and silence fell in the next room.

Stephen and Daniel looked at each other.

And then there was a loud noise, like a chair crashing against the door. The door of next box broke.

Flurried, Sophia ran out from the inside.

Daniel went to the next box and took a look. Then he returned and reported, “Mr. Berry, Miss Carter

broke Mr. Foster's head with a teapot and the door with a chair and left.”

Stephen turned around and walked away. Daniel immediately followed him.

Because of this scene tonight, the contract between the Johnson Group and the Berry Group was

temporarily suspended.

Stephen did not find Sophia but let Daniel say to the public relations department, “Sophia hurt Mr.

Foster from the Johnson Group, resulting in the suspension of the contract. Everyone in PR is

withholding this month's bonus.”
