Drenched in Love

Chapter 41 Wait Outside

Sophia ignored the whispers of others and took the key from Haze. As she reached door, Daniel

stopped her, “Miss Carter, Mr. Berry said, you will work in the company from now on.”

Sophia was embarrassed, “Daniel, I know. I'll go get changed and I'll be back in a minute, is that ok?”

At that time, Daniel was standing at the door of the president's office. Although he did not see the

situation inside, but heard the sound, plus saw Sophia fled from the president's office in a mess, he

could have guessed something. He looked at Sophia's face and stood aside from the door. “Go. Come

back soon .Otherwise I won't be able to explain to Mr. Berry.”

Sophia said thanks and hurried away.

After Daniel left, the public relations office got noisy with all kinds of words.

Hazel planned to ask Sophia after work about this. As they walked out of the door, Daniel showed up

again, “Miss Carter, Mr. Berry asked me to tell you don't forget your promise to him. And...”

Daniel handed Sophia a card, “Here is the address.” He looked at Hazel with a warning in his eyes.

“Mr. Berry doesn't want this matter to be known to people who don't matter.”

Sophia nodded, “I know.”

“Sophia, what's going on here? What promise did you make to Mr. Berry?” After Daniel left, Hazel

asked holding Sophia’s arms.

Sophia was embarrassed. She held Hazel's hand, “Hazel, thank you for taking care of me these days,

if you need help, I will certainly try my best to help you.”

“Hazel, I can't go to your house from today. I already have a place to live. Don't worry about me.”

Sophia explained and stopped Hazel from asking.

Hazel knew there was no answer, so she could only stare at her, “Sophia, if you need help, let me

know!” NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Sophia nodded.

Stephen did not kindly wait for Sophia to leave. Sophia knew it and she walked over according to the

address..

The villa was far away. It was already 10 o’clock in the evening when Sophia got there.

Standing in front of the tall carved iron door, Sophia wiped the sweat on her forehead and rang the

doorbell at the door.

She rang it again, but no one answered. She continued. After a long pause, Stephen's cold voice came

over the wireless, “It closes at 9 o’clock every night. If you can't come back before that, stay outside!”

That was the end of the call. Sophia had no chance to rebuttal.

Looking at the surrounding environment, Sophia found a clean stone to sit down, held her arms and

intended to stay there all night. She could have left and gone to the nearest KFC. But she knew that

Stephen maybe would check if she was there in the middle of the night. If she was not there, she would

be screwed.

The scenery in the villa was nice with many trees and flowers, but there were many mosquitoes.

Sophia, leaning on the stone wall, fell asleep, and was awake up by mosquitoes.

Touching his arm, neck and face where got bit by mosquitoes, Sophia frowned. When it came to dawn,

Sophia walked toward the Berry Group.

She could not be late to the villa and sure she could not be late to work.

At the work time, Hazel got into the office. See Sophia got bit by mosquitoes, she could not help but

ask with concern, other colleagues talked about it too. Sophia gave a simple explanation to Hazel.

In order to return to the villa early and no longer stayed outside for the night, Sophia did not even eat

dinner after work but walked back to the villa. Finally at eight o’clock she reached the villa.

Stephen was already sitting on the sofa in the living room. As she just entered the door, Stephen said,

“Cook.”

Sophia did not know how to cook. But Stephen made an order, and she could not refuse, so she had to

go the kitchen.

Half an hour later, Sophia came out of the kitchen with a bowl of noodles.

Looking at the bowl of clear soup on the table, Stephen frowned and did not know what to say.

Sophia explained, “Mr. Berry, I can't cook.”

Stephen frowned. When she came back from work the next day, the person waiting in the living room

was a clean-cut middle-aged woman in her 40s.

“Sophia?” the woman asked. After Sophia nodded her head, she introduced herself, “I am the person

who cooked for Mr. Berry here before. My name is Hannah. From now on, you learn to cook from me.

With that, Hannah turned into the kitchen with a cold face.

Sophia washed her hands and followed her.

Hannah was surprised to see that, but soon her face became cold again. Sophia was not sure if

Stephen’s people would act like her.

“I heard you can’t cook. Let’s start from cutting potato.”

Hannah took a potato from the basket, washed it, peeled the skin and began to slice it. “Cut it to pieces

and then strips, the thickness should not more than 3mm.”

Hannah gave her the knife and said, “Your turn, Miss Carter.”

Sophia did as she told, but Hannah frowned, “Too thick!”

“It's too thick!”

“It's still too thick!

“You're so slow! Cut it fast! Do you want Mr. Berry to have dinner until tomorrow morning? Hurry up!”

Sophia bit her teeth and continued.

In a hurry, her fingers got cut and the red blood was on the light yellow potato.

Sophia exclaimed, raised her finger and found a deep scar on it. It hurt.

“Keep cutting!”

Hannah urged. Sophia wiped the blood on the finger and continued to cut potatoes. After finishing one,

Hannah took it and put it into the cold water, “Wash it!”

Sophia took a look at Hannah and found her face was firm. She said nothing and put two hands in the

basin. Hannah took out a bag of salt, cut open the bag and poured into the water.

Sophia immediately took out her hand, “Hannah, it seems that salt is not needed to wash the potato.”

Hannah took a cold look at her, “You teach me to cook or I teach you to cook?! I said salt is needed, it

is needed! Why did you take your hand hand? Put them in!”

Sophia was silent for a moment, and finally put her hands in.

A whole bag of salt was poured into. The pain came from the wound she got cut. Sophia gritted her

teeth to endure.
