Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 169

"Humph. She could’ve told us earlier if she doesn’t want to be friends with us. She always talks like she has a lot of friends!" Elaine criticized indirectly. "Someone isn’t even remotely abashed for chasing after a man’s tail every single day but is saying that it’s a b*tchy thing to do when we’re just playing a game... From what I can see, she simply can’t handle it!"

Ryleigh echoed. "Just be frank with us if you can’t handle this game. Stop wasting everyone's time!"

"We’re all friends. Stop saying things like that to Sophia." Leah bit her lip and said, "I feel awful when you say things like that to her."

Sophia had called Ryleigh out earlier, so she found Sophia to be an eyesore at the moment. "We treat her as our friend but does she treat us the same? I know you’re a nice person and don’t want to see us fighting with each other, but look at her... Look at what she has been saying to us.

"There were so many people cheating during the professional test. I don’t think writing a cheat sheet is that terrible, right? She’s saying it like I’ve committed a heinous crime! Also, how can she call you a b*tch just because of such a trivial matter?"

Sophia's face alternated between red and blue, looking exceedingly surly. "Watch your words, Ryleigh. When the f*ck did I ever call Leah a b*tch? I just said that this is beyond common sense and that it’ll make me look like a b*tch if I do it. Don’t f*cking turn things upside down and sow dissension among us, will you!!!”

Leah did not say a word, but her eyes were even redder now. She lowered her head and sniffed.

"You’re always wearing swimsuits whenever we go to the beach, no? What’s wrong with asking you to wear a similar outfit at home and give Mr. Jones a hug now?" Elaine sneered. "You’re dawdling so much just because you can’t handle it, no? If you can’t handle this game, then just be frank. No one’s forcing you to play this game!”

Leah wiped the corner of her eyes and forced out a smile. "I'm sorry, Sophia. I didn't know you can’t… handle games like this. I'm really sorry!"

Having said that, she gave Sophia a 90-degrees bow in an exceedingly sincere manner.

Elaine straightened her back forcefully and cast Sophia a sidelong glance, saying, "I didn’t know that you’re a person who can’t even handle a game, Sophia!"

'Can’t handle a game, can’t handle a game, can’t handle a game!!!' These four words made Sophia so mad that she was about to erupt. Like her brother, she cared a lot about her reputation and image. She simply could not stomach this insult now she was being called out by three of her best friends saying that she could not even handle a game.

"Did I ever say that I can’t handle this game?!" Sophia grabbed the erotic underwear. "I just need to give William a hug wearing this, right? What's the big deal!"

Leah tugged her sleeves gently, whispering, "Sophia, if you don't want to do it, then don't force yourself. It just… It just feels like I’m forcing you…"

"Cut the crap. Where can I change?" Sophia ripped off the headset around her neck irritably and tossed it on the couch.

Ryleigh said in a queer tone, "Don’t force yourself if you can’t handle it. Otherwise, you’re going to start saying that we’re bullying you after that!"

"Shut. Up!" Sophia glared at her as she squeezed the two words from the gaps of her teeth. There were spurts of flames in her eyes.

Ryleigh retracted her neck in fear, then gulped without having the guts to say another word.

Leah sighed, then said in an aggrieved and guilty voice, “Sophia, you really don't have to force yourself..."

"That’s enough!" Sophia cut her off straight away and entered the bathroom holding the erotic underwear with a frown. With a bang, she slammed the door shut.

After seeing her reaction, Ryleigh murmured several things, none of which was pleasant.

Sophia was sulking terribly from their provocations. She steeled herself and changed into the erotic underwear. It was not exactly revealing, just like what Leah and the rest said. The size of the fabric was quite similar to that of a beach swimsuit.
