Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 99

"Let me out of here." Sophia was upset and wanted to get out.

However, Megan grabbed her arm and asked her forlornly, "My boyfriend thinks I'm dirty and doesn't want me anymore. Do you think I'm dirty too?"

"No." Sophia then repeated. "Let me out of here."

Megan held on, her eyes red. "Do you think I want to get to know Mr. Harris, Ms. Jones, and Mr. White through you? So you think I'm a snob and don't want to be my friend anymore?"

Sophia looked at her, frowning a little. However, she said nothing.

"I lost my boyfriend and my friend. I'm a real failure as a human being." Megan let her go with a wry smile, unable to hide the loss and pain in her gaze.

She stopped pestering Sophia and lowered her head as she stepped aside.

"Just like you said, people are complicated. I've never asked my friends to be 100 percent nice to me. I just don't want them to hurt me." Sophia glanced at her and stepped out.

Megan raised her head immediately while her murky eyes glistening. "Am I still your friend, Sophia?"

Sophia got out the door with her wallet and phone. She did not answer.

It was almost 12 o 'clock. There were a lot of people and traffic on the road.

Sophia stood at the club entrance and looked around only to find that she had no idea where to go. She just wanted to stop arguing about the friend issue with Megan.

Were they friends? She could not tell.

Her phone vibrated.

‘I ordered takeout for you. It's all your favorite. I'll call you later. Don't go running around!’

It was from her brother.

Sophia stood at the club entrance for more than ten minutes and got her takeout. She did not want to go back to the dormitory, so she booked a room to have a meal at a hotel near the club.

Under great pressure, even the most delicious food would lose its flavor.

Sophia only ate a few mouthfuls and could not eat anymore. She laid curled up on the bed in a daze.

"!" She suddenly remembered that she forgot the sexy lingerie and sat up. Her brother said he had prepared it for her, but she was not reassured by his usual careless ways.

Sophia got up, straightened her clothes, and went to the local mall to buy Megan's favorite fried rice. Then, she went back to the dorm.

"Eat." Sophia put the takeout in front of Megan and went to her closet to get the gift box.

"I can't eat." Megan's eyes glinted at the sight of her favorite fried rice. Then, she looked at her and asked, "Are you going to… You know… Mr. Harris today?"

Sophia found the gift box too flashy and tore off its packaging. She put the three sets of lingerie in an unassuming bag. "Just eat some. Your ex-boyfriend already has another woman in his heart. He won't feel bad for you or regret it even if you torture yourself like this. You will be the only one who suffers."

She did not answer the latter question.

Megan tried not to ask, but after much hesitation, she said, "Sophia, you better not go. That plan won't work."

She bit her lip and said awkwardly, "I was hoping you'd owe me one. I didn't think much of it."

Megan stopped her and said with a complicated look, "Are you sure you're not giving it a second thought, Sophia? You see, no one dares to take advantage of you these days. The manager and the rest are not giving you a hard time. You don't have to be in such a hurry to do that, you know?"

"No one's taking advantage of me and no one's giving me a hard time now. What about later?" Sophia pried her hand off her. "Even if no one ever gives me a hard time, am I going to tell my kids I work in a place like this?"

Megan stammered as she averted her eyes. "It doesn't matter. There are a lot of people in our industry who have married and started a family. It's not as miserable as you say."

"I'm not like you." Sophia forced out a smile, but there was only sarcasm in her eyes. "You can leave this city, get married, and start a family once you have saved enough money. I have no right to leave this city. If I don't take this chance, I may die of old age here."

"Maybe a lot of people will tell their kids, 'Look, this is Sophia. She worked at the club all her life,'" she quipped.

"Then… be careful what you do. If it looks like it won't work out, give up the plan before it's too late and think of some excuse to muddle through," Megan said.

Before Sophia could speak, Megan said, "Let me know if it doesn't work out. I'll go to Ms. Jones. She's a nice person. She’ll understand your difficulty and help you intercede even if she knows you were seducing Mr. Harris."

"No, thank you." A layer of frost covered Sophia's eyes as she walked away.

Megan grabbed her from behind and earnestly advised. "Do you have to go through all that for your pride, Sophia? It's all right to ask for help from your rival. I think Ms. Jones is a nice person. She won't laugh at you for that."

"Suffer a little or apologize to your ex-boyfriend and say you were wrong. Which one will you choose?" Sophia pried her hand off her and asked coldly.

Megan did not know why she suddenly asked the question, but she got a little emotional. "After all I've sacrificed for him, he cheated on me with someone else. Why do I have to apologize when it's clearly his fault? I'd rather eat shit than apologize to that two-timing bastard!"

"Unlike you, I won’t eat shit. I'd rather die than ask Leah for help."

Sterling once again called to rush her. Sophia stopped arguing with Megan who had a complicated look on her face and went out the door with the bag.
