Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 115

Sophia looked at James’ back and said flatly, “Then please be as savage as you can be. If you really succeed in getting me out of Dream Club, I’ll definitely rent all of the signboards in the city to thank you.”

“Soph, you…” Jenny looked at them worriedly. Before she could finish, she left after being nagged by James.

Sophia pressed her lips together and walked over to close the door. Then, she sat back down on her bed. She lowered her head. It was unknown what she was thinking about.

Megan took a deep breath. She sat down on the chair to look at her. She did not say anything as well.

After a while, Sophia lifted her head to look at her. She said, “Thank you for speaking up for me.”

“At home, I was always scolded by my parents before they understood what was going on. When that happened, I really hoped someone could speak up for me.” Megan’s eyes were red. She dabbed the corner of her eyes and shook her hands toward Sophia. “It’s fine. Let’s not talk about them anymore. They’re such let downs.”

Beep.

Beep.

At this moment, Megan’s phone rang. She answered the phone and said furiously, “Didn’t I tell you not to call me anymore? Why…”

She went into the toilet to continue her call. She also closed the door behind her.

Sophia was feeling complicated. She never felt so tired before. She laid down in bed and placed both of her hands on her flat stomach. After that, she closed her eyes slowly.

She wanted to fall asleep and never wake up so she never had to face those annoying people ever again.

However, she could not. The next day, she still had to wear her uniform that looked like a janitor’s uniform to get back to work.

“Good… Good afternoon, Sophia.” She met her colleague who she only met a few times before. They greeted her with smiles on their faces. However, their voices were obviously shaking.

Sophia nodded at them. She thought that was hilarious.

If they were afraid of her, why did they greet her?

She met other colleagues on her way. Some of them she knew, and some of them she did not. However, they were all greeting her with no exceptions.

Sophia nodded at them perfunctorily. After a few steps, she heard them gossiping in soft voices.

“Miss Faye and the gang apologized to Sophia yesterday, but she did not accept their apologies. In the end, they were all fired! They fired a total of 60 people including the guy who photoshopped the picture!”

“It’s fine that they only fired them. I heard the security that photoshopped the picture was brought away by the police after he got fired. I heard he was incarcerated. His entire life is ruined!”

“Tch. I wonder who Sophia has behind her…”

“We’re all colleagues, and Sophia was way over the line! If she was embarrassed about being thrown out naked after trying to seduce Mr. Harris, then why did she do that in the first place? She wants to be a wh*re and still wants to protect her reputation. How disgusting.”

Sophia did not know whether they were doing that on purpose or not. They were not speaking loudly, but she could hear everything they said.

Sophia was standing with her back toward the light. There was an ironic smile on her lips. She turned around to look at the backs of the three people who were talking about her. “Stop.”

She did not know why Charles fired those people, but she would not be so naive to think he did that for her.

One of them asked weirdly, “Can we help you with anything?”

“You’re the one who said that I want to protect my reputation after being a wh*re, right?” Sophia recognized her voice and walked toward her slowly.

That person’s pupils reflected Sophia walking closer and closer to her. She was slouching before, but now, she straightened her back. “I don’t know what you’re talking…”

“Wonderful! Marvelous!” Clara walked out of the stairwells and looked at Sophia with bright eyes. “Wow, Sophia. You looked so cool just now! If you were a man, I’ll even want to marry you.”

Sophia, “...”

She did not reply, but Clara did not feel awkward. She said after smacking her lips, “Say, if they can’t afford to offend you, why did they come to provoke you?”

She pointed at her head and said while blinking, “Do you think they have problems here?”

“Maybe.” Sophia smiled lightly at Clara.

Clara was stunned. She muttered, “Wow, you look so pretty when you smile.”

Sophia stopped smiling and bowed 90 degrees. She said earnestly, “Thank you for everything you’ve done for me, Miss Robertson.”

As someone whom she had only met a few times, Clara did a lot for her.

“You’re embarrassing me by thanking me like that.” Clara scratched her head. Her hair was tied in a bun, and her doll-like face looked troubled. “I didn’t even help you…”

Sophia straightened her back and said while looking at the ground, “It’s one thing if you agree to help me or not, it’s another if you managed to help me. You should accept my gratitude since you’ve helped me.”

She was not like the old friends of her parents. They never even bothered to help her. They all treated her like an abandoned child.

“I… I don’t know what to say any more with you thanking me like this.” Clara smiled shyly. She said, “I heard you were thrown out naked by that Big Iceberg. I was worried about you, so I skipped work to look for you. However, after I saw you fighting that foul-mouthed woman, I can stop worrying now.”

When she heard what she said in the end, Sophia’s pupils constricted. She tugged at the end of her shirt. She wanted to laugh but could not.

She lowered her head and suppressed the darkness in her eyes. She said softly, “I’m fine. Thank you for your concern, Miss Robertson.”
