Drenched in Love novel Chapter 75

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.
