Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 196

Leah’s face turned paler with every word that Charles said. For someone who always had a way with words, she could not find a single word to say at this very moment.

"I still have things to do. Goodbye." Charles glanced at Leah indifferently and walked to the door.

"Charles," Leah called out to him with a dazed look on her face. "Do you not regret your choice?"

Charles turned back to look at her. "Whether I regret or not has nothing to do with you."

"Does it really have nothing to do with me?" Leah chuckled with unknown implications, like she was going through the vicissitudes of life, yet sounded somewhat depressed, and at the same time, carrying a trace of undetectable hatred.

Charles stared intently at her but made no reply. He walked out of the cinema and hailed a cab to return to the company.

In the company’s lobby, Sterling was slouched on the couch like an upset-looking half-mummy, while Nicole was sitting next to him, playing with her mobile phone.

The receptionist looked like she has seen her savior when she saw Charles. "You’re finally here, Mr. Harris!"

She stole a glance at Sterling and Nicole and whispered, "Mr. White and Mrs. White came very early in the morning and demanded you to hand over Ms. White..."

"Mm." Charles handed his briefcase to the receptionist. "Leave the rest to me."

The receptionist had been waiting for him to say these words. She hurried away eagerly with the briefcase in her hands.

"Where did you take Soph to?" Sterling tried to stand up, but as soon as his bottom left the seat, Nicole pressed him down again.

He could not help but feel like he was one head shorter than Charles if he looked up at him like that.

Charles replied, "Bamboo Virtues Village. She’s staying with me."

"B*stard!" Sterling grabbed his crutch and was about to hit Charles with it.

Charles had just thrown Soph out naked some time ago and was now forcing Soph to stay with him. What did he take her for? Did he take Soph for a pet, toying with her as he likes and kicking her once he tires of her?!

Charles tilted his head slightly and caught the oncoming crutch with his hand, uttering a sentence slowly, "You have swift limbs but a slow head."

As the scuffle was slightly loud, some employees looked over but were only brave enough to sneak several glances.

Mr. Dennis Logan, the vice president came over and caught sight of this scene and ordered his subordinates to send the employees away except for the receptionists. He did not stay around either and left after greeting Charles.

"What did you say?!" Sterling asked with a dark look on his face.

Charles let go of the crutch and said flatly, "Brainless."

He only knew how to use his fists whenever something happened. He would not be able to protect Sophia well if he entrusted her to him. Leah could manipulate him and hold him in the palm of her hand easily.

Sterling had always found him an eyesore, after hearing his criticism right now, rage shot straight to his head as he opened his mouth preparing to hurl abuses at him.

"Stop giving Soph any more trouble!" Nicole twisted his ear to warn him and pressed him down.

Sterling wilted at once, punching the cast on his leg in frustration.

"Mr. Harris." Nicole tried her best to sound pleasant. "Soph told me that the misunderstandings between you and her have been resolved and that you’re her boyfriend now.

“I think that Soph isn’t in a good mental state lately. Can you let her stay with us for some time to let her rest?"
