Drenched in Love

Chapter 118 She Didn't Want To Believe It

Sophia didn't recover herself until the room was quiet for a long while.

She blankly sat up from the bed and blinked as if she didn't understand what had happened just now.

'Stephen just went out without doing anything to me? So was he angry with me or not?'

Having let her imagination run away with her for quite a while, Sophia suddenly remembered the NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

translation document torn apart. She got down from the bed immediately and ran to the desk. She had

to piece together the document before yesterday morning, or she couldn't get the payment.

When Sophia came to the desk, she found that the document was missing. Thinking of Stephen, the

last person who left her room, Sophia ran out. However, she found that the door was locked from

outside when she pulled the door handle.

"Stephen! Open the door! Open the door, please!" shouted Sophia as she patted the door. But no one

answered, even the voice of cursing.

As Sophia was too tired to pat the door, she turned to lean on the wooden door and slowly slipped

down.

In the dark night, she sat on the cold floor with her arms around her knees and her chin on her knees.

She was filled with sadness and tearless. Perhaps it was because that she knew that tears were

useless or she had shed so many tears and had no tears to shed now.

All of a sudden, Sophia felt so cold that she held her body tightly as a comfort to herself.

'Everybody hates me in the world. No one likes me.' thought Sophia.

Sophia was awakened by the cold. She felt cold in the middle of the night and woke up after a shiver.

After going to the bathroom to wash her face, Sophia went back to the bed and continued to sleep.

Next morning when she woke up, the circles around her eyes were even darker. After washing her

face, she went out of the room. This time the door was unlocked.

It was 7 o'clock in the morning.

The breakfast had been set on the dinning table. When Sophia passed the table, neither Stephen nor

Hannah was there, but a servant she didn't know.

Glancing at the servant, Sophia was going to go to work when the servant called her and said, "Miss

Carter, Mr. Berry has ordered you to have breakfast before going to work."

Sophia ignored the servant and kept going.

The servant stepped quickly toward Sophia and handed a file bag to her and said, "Miss Carter, this is

what Mr. Berry ordered me to hand to you."

With a frown, Sophia opened the bag and found that the document she was translating was right in it.

To be exact, it was a more precise and concise translation printed in A4 paper and bound instead of

pieced together.

'This is...'

An idea flashed through the mind of Sophia. She didn't want to believe it. But it seemed that no one

would do this except Stephen.

Seeing that Sophia didn't look so serious, the servant said again, "Please eat something, Miss Carter.

So you'll have energy to work."

Sophia was so shocked by the document that she did whatever the servant asked her to do.

After submitting the document, Sophia got a payment of 1,200 and went to the mall to pick a gift for

Hazel immediately. She was dazed by the goods in the mall and had no idea what to buy for Hazel for

the moment.

At the moment of hesitation, someone patted her on the shoulder and said, "You are here too, Sophia!"

Sophia turned and saw the gentle and smiling face of Emmanuel Hawkins.

"Emmanuel."

"Why are you here? What are you going to buy?" asked Emmanuel, pushing his shopping cart and

walking with Sophia.

"As Hazel's birthday is coming, I want to buy a gift for her. But I have no idea what to buy. Do you have

any idea what she likes best, Emmanuel?"

Emmanuel smiled and said, "She likes eating best! You can buy her large package of snacks!"

Sophia smiled too and asked, "Why do you buy so many things, Emmanuel?"

"These are the dishes Hazel has ordered. She wants me to cook these dishes on her birthday! Look at

these chicken wings and lobsters, and the potato chips, shrimp chips, melon seeds and jellies. I don't

understand why she loves these so much!"

Having walked around in the mall, Sophia still didn't find a satisfying gift. After Emmanuel checked out,

Sophia walked out with him. When they passed a jewelry store, Sophia walked in.

Sophia was dazed by the gold jewelries and jades in it. But she only had 1,200. Finally, she chose a

bracelet which was right 1,200 after the discount.

"It's too precious. You don't have too spend so much money as Hazel will like whatever she buy her."

persuaded Emmanuel as he had heard from Hazel that Sophia was unpaid in her company. Sophia

never paid even when eating with them in usual time. But now she just spent 1,200 to buy Hazel a

bracelet.

"Hazel is my best friend, so I just want to give her the best I can give."

Emmanuel nodded with a smile and said, "There's a new restaurant ahead. The food is delicious there.

How about trying it with me now?"

Sophia was going to refuse him.

But Emmanuel continued, "We haven't seen each other for a long time. Now that we have a chance to

eat together, you won't refuse me, will you?"

Sophia had to nod.

After the meal, Emmanuel drove Sophia back. When the car was near the villa area, Sophia asked

Emmanuel to stop. She got off and said, "The villa is near. So you can go back, Emmanuel. It's late

now."

Thinking of what Stephen had warned her, Sophia was afraid that Stephen would see Emmanuel if

Emmanuel got closer to the villa. She didn't want to bring trouble on Emmanuel.

As Sophia insisted, Emmanuel agreed and said, "Be careful on the road, Sophia. I'm going. I'll be

expecting you on Hazel's birthday."

After getting back to the Berry villa, Sophia searched for Stephen but failed to find him. There was no

voice from the upstairs either.

'He's probably not at home.'

Slightly relieved, Sophia walked to the bathroom to wash up and found that there was a set of

expensive skin care products on the counter, which was the brand her mother most commonly used

when they were rich.

There was a note on the skin care products which was obviously written by Stephen and read, "Take

care of your face and don't let it influence my mood!"

Sophia walked closer to the mirror and had a good look at her face. It was a little dry and the circles

around her eyes were quite dark. But...

Sophia took the lotion on the counter and thought, 'Isn't it too extravagant to let me use such expensive

skin care products just to avoid influencing his mood?'
