Drenched in Love

Chapter 117 Not Every Man In The World Wants To Have Sex With You

'You know the consequences...'

'What consequences? Like taking off my clothes and washing me as before? Or cutting off the part of

my body that was touched by another man like what ancient people did to unchaste women? Or

dealing with the man who touches me?'

Sophia was enraged by the many times of threats of Stephen. 'This man never regards me as a

person, but a thing belonging to him. He can do whatever he wants to me and I'm never free unless

being abandoned by him.'

Gritting her teeth, Sophia wanted to say something but finally gave up.

It was stupid to rebel against Stephen at the moment.

She didn't want to make trouble for herself and any one else. But she felt so wronged that her tears fell

down.

Stephen was touched by her helpless eyes and tears.

Somehow there was a sentence flashing through his mind: A competent man never let his woman cry.

Stephen raised his hand and wanted to wipe the tear on her cheek when the phone rang. Sophia

recovered herself and saw his motion. She was blank for a moment and then turned and ran away.

With a pause of his hand, Stephen clenched his fist and didn't put down his hand for a long while.

The phone stopped ringing after a while and the office became quite again. Stephen walked to the

window and took out the cigarette box from the pocket to light a cigarette. After a deep drag on the

cigarette, his mind was calm as the smoke went into his lungs.

After work, Sophia had dinner at the canteen of the company. After meal, she sat in the canteen for a

long time.

She was reluctant to go back as she didn't want to see Stephen and be insulted by him any more.

As it was getting dark and there were only a few cleaning ladies in the canteen, Sophia finally stood up

and drove herself home.

When Sophia came back, Stephen was drinking the tea on the sofa of the living room. He glanced at

her and didn't speak.

With a pause, Sophia drooped her eyelids and walked across the living room to her room in a hurry.

In the next few days, Stephen and Sophia just ignored each other. They still lived and had breakfast

and dinner together, but neither of them spoke to or looked at each other.

The servants in the Berry villa began to whisper about it and change their attitudes toward Sophia.

Hannah kind of gloated over it.

Sophia often worked late in her room these days as she wanted to finish the translation of the

manuscript as soon as possible to get her payment early. She was the last to turn off the light almost

every night.

This night, Sophia was focusing on the translation work when Hannah knocked at the door and said,

"Miss Carter, It's already eleven o'clock now. It's time to turn off you light." Then she pressed the switch

before Sophia could say anything.

Having no way, Sophia had to get up early to do the translation and translate for a while in the office

after having dinner at the company. As a result, she had less time to rest and had dark circles around

her eyes soon.

Stephen saw them when having breakfast with her. He frowned and said nothing.

At over eleven o'clock this night, Sophia had the last page of the document to be translated. She

intended to translated it as soon as possible so that she could get the payment tomorrow to buy a

birthday gift to Hazel. At the moment, Hannah knocked at the door and said, "I told you it's time to turn

off the light, Miss Carter. This is the Berry villa, not your home. You must obey the rule here!" Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Hannah, May I keep the light on for a bit more time, please? It's just a while and I'll turn off the light

immediately after I finished my work, OK?" begged Sophia. As long as Sophia submitted the translation

document tomorrow, she could get an extra 200, which was not much but still important to her.

Tilting her head, Hannah saw the translation document Sophia placed on the desk and stepped forward

to pick it up to look.

Sophia explained aside, "There's only one page to be finished. I'll turn off the light as soon as I finished

this page. Hannah, please!"

When Sophia thought Hannah would open the door for her, the latter just glanced at Sophia and tore

the translated document into two pieces.

Sophia was stunned and couldn't believe it.

Hannah seemed to be happy and continued to tear the document into pieces. Then she threw these

pieces on the face of Sophia and said, "Servants in the Berry villa are not allowed to do a part-time job.

This is the rule!"

As the pieces swirled to fall down, all the works Sophia had done these days were for nothing. Flushed

with anger, Sophia raised her hand with trembling lips and slapped Hannah in the face.

"How dare you?" Hannah shouted and intended to slap Sophia back.

Before the slap falling on the face of Sophia, a strong hand held the wrist of Hannah and stopped her

motion.

Sophia looked up at Stephen who was in white pajamas.

Blank for a moment, Hannah turned to see Stephen and said in a weak voice, "Mr. Berry, It's...It's Miss

Miss Carter who is doing a part-time job. I discovered it and intended to tell you. But Miss Carter was

angry and slapped me. I was so angry that..." Seeing the sullen face of Stephen, Hannah said with wet

eyes, "Mr. Berry, I just missed the days when Miss Quainton was still here. I was in a bad mood, so I..."

Stephen looked more sullen and said, "Get out, Hannah."

Biting her lip, Sophia crouched down to pick up the pieces and placed them on the desk. She looked

through the pieces and began to piece them together one by one.

Watching in the room for a while, Stephen stepped to the desk and picked Sophia up.

Looking at Stephen tolerantly, Sophia said, "Mr. Berry. I do have a part-time job. But it has no influence

on my current work and the things you order me to do. So it's non of your business!"

With a sneer, Stephen threw Sophia on the bed and took off her shoes.

"What are you doing?!" Sophia was frightened and struggled to sit up.

Pushing Sophia to the bed, Stephen took the blanket and covered it on her body. Sophia tried to sit up

again, but Stephen held her shoulder so tightly that she couldn't move at all.

"What the hell are you doing, Stephen? If you continue to paw at me, I'll sue you for rape!"

Stephen sneered, "Not every man in the world wants to have sex with you, OK? I just want you to

sleep! Stop yelling! You are so noisy!"

Standing up, Stephen looked at the dark circles around her eyes and added, "Look in the mirror and

see how ugly you are now!"
