Drenched in Love novel Chapter 97

She picked up her phone and checked the date, it was time when she got her period.

After resting for a while, Sophia took out a tampon from the drawer of the bedside table and ran to the bathroom to change it. When she came back and was ready to lie down on the bed to rest, Hannah came and knocked on the door, "Sophia, Mr. Berry is back, why haven't you made dinner yet?"

Sophia's heart tightened a bit. It was not for Hannah's question, but for the phrase "Mr. Berry is back".

At noon, she didn't know what she had done that provoked Stephen and made her be expelled from the president's office. She later secretly went to see Emmanuel, and then walked with Emmanuel in the square at night. At this moment, when she heard someone mentioned Stephen to her, she couldn’t help to feel a bit scary.

Somehow, she always felt that her visit to Emmanuel and her evening walk with Emmanuel were known to Stephen. If it was really known by Stephen... Sophia's body trembled again. Stephen would not let her go easily.

"Hannah, I'll prepare the dinner now!"

Just as the dinner was ready, Stephen came down from upstairs. As she served him dinner, Sophia carefully observed Stephen's expression and saw that he was not angry, she felt a sense of relief in her heart.

After the dinner, when Stephen went upstairs, he put his fingers on the handrail and asked with a frown, "How come the handrail get so dirty? Are all the people in this house a freeloader?!"

Hearing his words, Sophia knew that Stephen was making things difficult for her, and immediately bowed and replied, "I'll clean the stairs right away."

"Clean it up!"

Stephen's phrase "clean it up" did not just mean scraping the stairs and handrails, but also the floor. Sophia had already done these things for a long time, she would not feel tired at all. She immediately took the basin and rag to clean up. Although the pain in her belly became wracking.

As long as Stephen didn’t mention Emmanuel, as long as it didn’t involve Emmanuel, Sophia was happy with whatever she was asked to do.

By the time when the entire living room and stairs were cleaned up, it was already 10:30 p.m. Sophia's face was pale and her body was trembling. She forced herself to go back to her room and then threw herself onto the bed at once.

The first day of her period was always the most torturing day. She would feel better on the second day and the third day, but she was still unable to work, and it was only on the fourth day that the pain on her belly would ease and she would become a normal person again.

The moment she lay on the bed and was about to have a rest, Hannah pushed the door in, "Sophia, Mr. Berry wants you to go upstairs."

Sophia's heart tightened. What was to come was to come after all? She didn't want to go upstairs, but she had to.

When she got up from the bed and was about to go out, Hannah looked at her coldly, "Mr. Berry said, before going upstairs, let me keep an eye on you to wash your hands until they are clean."

Sophia didn't think too much about it, she only thought that Stephen was disgusted with her dirty hands after cleaning. She walked to the bathroom to wash her hands with soap and wanted to dry them. Hannah ordered again, "They are not clean. Wash your hands again, just remember wash your hands with soap five times, and use a brush!"

Sophia frowned and tried to argue, but Hannah looked at her coldly, "This is Mr. Berry’s order. If you don't want to obey it, just go upstairs and ask him in person!"

Sophia definitely would not go to ask him.

It was until her hands were red and with vessels slightly visible that Hannah was satisfied and let her go out.

On the second floor in Stephen's bedroom.

There was no one in the bedroom. Sophia looked around carefully, but did not find Stephen. When she was about to call him loud, Stephen's voice came out from the bathroom, "Come in."

Sophia frowned in the front of the bathroom door, hesitating for a moment, and pushed the door open.

Stephen was taking a bath, naked, with his entire strong body soaking into the water. The water was very clear with no foam on the surface. Sophia stood at the door of the bathroom and could see Stephen's body under the water clearly.

She forced herself to hold back the scream that she wanted to let out, lowered her eyes and stared at the bathroom floor tiles, "Mr. Berry", implying Stephen that she had came in.

Stephen did not even look at her, changing a comfortable position in the bathtub, then leisurely said, "Come over to give me a bath," which made Sophia stunned.

Sophia was dumbfounded. She thought she had heard it wrong.

Stephen said it again, "Come over and give me a rubdown."
