Drenched in Love

Chapter 7 President of the Berry Group

“Well, it is not director or manager...”

The gossiping women looked at each other. After a while, a deliberately subdued female voice was

heard, “Did our president let her in?”

No one spoke, but everyone nodded in tacit agreement.

After the gossip, the women took the water and left. Sophia turned around, walked to the tea room

holding a cup and turned on the faucet to take water.

The conversation of those women reverberated in her mind. Was that recruiting job just to get her into

the company? She did not have the ability, so she got in because someone helped her? The man who

gave her help was the president of the Berry Group? All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Sophia was confused about it: why? She didn’t know the president of the Berry Group. Even in the

heyday of the Carter Group before, she had never met the president of the Berry Group. Why would he

help her?

As thinking, a burst of pain was on the hand. Sophia screamed out, subconsciously let go and then the

cup fell on the ground.

She was so absorbed in her thoughts that she forgot that she was getting some water, and the hot

water poured over her hand.

The water was very hot and her hands turned red at once. Sophia endured the pain, picked up the cup,

washed it with hot water and took another one before she went back to office.

As she sat down on the chair, Hazel her colleague came over, “Oh, what is wrong with your hand? Did

you get hurt by boiling water?”

The faces of the women who had gone to fetch water from the tea room changed at once.

Sophia smiled and wiped the back of her hand that became red, “I got hurt accidentally, it doesn’t

matter.”

As she finished her words, several women gathered round to show their concern.

“This is JWH ointment for burns and scald, come on, apply it on!”

“The water is too hot. You should be careful.”

“Sophia, I have ice here, put it on the back of your hand, you will feel better.”

“I have a handkerchief here, wrap the ice in it, it’s too cold to put ice on the back of your hand.”

There was a lot of talk and everyone was helping. Sophia was touched and repeatedly thanked them.

On this day of entry, Sophia was taken care of. No matter what she asked, colleagues in the

department would answer her. Colleagues would help her even with something that she did not think

of.

Sophia knew that it was because of the president of the Berry Group.

In the second day, Sophia met the president.

At that time, Hazel ordered takeout. She shared cake with everyone. When Sophia took one bit and the

cream was still on her mouth, a few men came in.

The man at the head was dressed in a white suit made of handmade and luxurious Italian fabric, which

fitted him perfectly and made his already tall figure look slimmer. His leather shoes were upscale and

elegant. Above, it was a flashy mechanical watch, those who don’t know the brand could tell it worth a

fortune.

He had a handsome face, deep eyes, high nose, and cold thin lips. Different from bookish Vincent, this

man had tough radian, very much like a Special Forces soldier in the TV drama.
