Drenched in Love

Chapter 75 This is My Younger Brother

The most popular place in summer was the barbecue shop. It was not dark as Sophia and Hazel

arrived. Along the river the barbecue shop had been full of people. Emmanuel’s newly opened one

because had preferential activities, so there were especially many people.

Looking at the lively crowd, Sophia slightly curved corners of the mouth.

The first time she ate at the barbecue, it was when she went to college, Vincent invited her. At that

time, Vincent was still very poor. At the day they became boyfriend and girlfriend, Vincent invited

Sophia to eat barbecue with the money he earned from part time.

Because of this, last time to eat barbecue, Sophia vented out her depression. Now she was much

calmer.

The barbecue shop was very busy. Sophia and Hazel greeted Emmanuel and helped to serve food.

Emmanuel stopped them at once: "Sophia, I am very happy that you have come. I left a table for you,

let Hazel accompany you to eat. Don't work here. It's dirty."

Sophia smiled and avoided Emmanuel's blocking hand: "Emmanuel, are you telling me that I can't

come here for free meal in the future?"

Emmanuel laughed. "Sophia, I didn't mean that."

"I have no money. Every time we went out for dinner, you and Hazel paid for it. I still won't pay tonight.

Isn't it fair to give you a little help? Emmanuel, I take you as a friend, you do not seem to take me as a

friend!"

Emmanuel couldn't help laughing. "You have a gift of the gab! Fine, you and Hazel help me first, and

when there were less customers, we sit down to eat together!"

For people working in the barbecue shop for a long time, serving food or water might be tedious and

boring, but for Sophia who had never done before, it was an interesting experience.

And she worked with Hazel and Emmanuel, so she had a happy smile all night, which she never had

since five years ago.

As meat baked on the charcoal fire, Emmanuel turned it from time to time. As he looked up at Hazel

and Sophia shuttling in the middle of the small square tables, he gave a smile.

All the tables were full, so the others customers could only go to other shop. Sophia and Hazel finally

had time to rest. Emmanuel set up a table, personally baked some meat skewers, and took out a bottle

of red wine from the refrigerator and poured to Sophia and Hazel, while he poured a glass of liquor to

himself.

"Sophia, I opened this shop today, thank you for coming to help. I propose a toast." Emmanuel picked

up his glass and clinked it with Sophia.

Sophia smiled and drank a mouth of wine: "Emmanuel, Hazel and I are good friends, you are Hazel's

big brother, naturally we are the best friends. You don't have to be so polite."

Emmanuel smiled and did not speak.

The three of them had fun together. Hazel and Sophia talked about the gossip of the company, and

revealed the childhood embarrassment of Hazel, while Emmanuel talked about the secret of the

barbecue.

Three people talked and laughed!

After drinking a lot of wine, Hazel went to the toilet, leaving only Sophia and Emmanuel at the table.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Emmanuel asked, "Sophia, are you short of money? I heard from Hazel that you have a part-time job

after work at noon and in the evening."

Sophia smiled and replied: "Not very short of money."

"Where do you live now? Are you working as a live-in servant in your boss's house?" That was told by

Hazel, who also thought so.

Sophia nodded.

Emmanuel continued, "Sophia, I don't think it's a good idea to work for your boss after work," If you're

short of money, why don't you come over with Hazel after work and help me out? I can't give you much

money, three thousand a month, but the time is relatively free. I offer food and accommodation, we will

eat together in the shop, after the meal, I send you and Hazel back to Hazel’s."

Sophia put down the glass in the hands, looking at Emmanuel.

Emmanuel's offer was very attractive, she was tempted. But...... it was not up to her to quit from

Stephen. Perhaps she could leave directly from Stephen, and he could not find her in a short time if

she did not go back, but he could find Emmanuel and his shop.

That Emmanuel opened the shop so smoothly got the help of Stephen. If Stephen was provoked, those

gangsters would make troubles. Then everything she did would be in vain.

"How do you think, Sophia? You don't have to be in a hurry to answer me. Think it over, and let me

know when you have decided."

Sophia was grateful for Emmanuel's care and consideration. She raised her glass. "Thank you,

Emmanuel."

Emmanuel held out his glass and clapped it with her. "You see you're being polite to me again."

Sophia smiled and drank. Just as the wine touched her lips, a large hand reached out and snatched it

away. The red liquid spilled from the glass, soaking Sophia's white shirt.

"Who are you? What do you want?" Looking at the boy, Emmanuel was very angry, subconsciously got

up and protected Sophia behind, "Sophia, are you okay?"

Sophia shook head and looked at the two people with a pale face: "Calvin? Why are you here?" The

man who grabbed the cup was Calvin, followed by Vincent.

Since that day in the airport they saw Sophia, Calvin and Vincent began to look for Sophia in ST. They

were going to go back just now, but accidentally they saw Sophia sitting here with a smile and drinking

with a man.

Emmanuel was shocked and asked Sophia: "Do you know him?" Emmanuel knew Vincent but he did

not know Calvin.

Sophia nodded. "Emmanuel, this is my brother. "

Hearing the word "brother", Emmanuel felt lucky in his heart: fortunately, he did not beat Calvin just

now. Otherwise, he would make a mess?

Sophia came forward and grasped Calvin's arm excitedly: "Calvin, why are you here? When did you

get here? Why didn't you call me?"

Calvin looked at her coldly and shook her off: "Sophia, you still know you have a brother? I thought you

had forgotten me and father long ago, lying in the arms of a man!"
