Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 481

He was just inches away from Sophia as he wrapped his coat around her, and he noticed the revolting look in her eyes as she took a small step away from him quietly.

Charles raised his brow slightly and frowned as he gave her a searching look. “Are you cold?”

“No,” Sophia replied curtly.

It was indeed Sophia’s voice.

Charles pursed his lips and stared at her deeply. He cast a quick glance at the building again and decided not to waste any more time. “Hold on to me and let me know if you’re scared.”

Sophia’s face twisted and she looked as if she was about to say something. Before she could even bring the words out, he spoke first, “Get on first, let’s talk about it on the way, it’s not safe to stay here any longer.”

“... Alright,” Sophia answered after a short pause.

Charles got onto the motorcycle and Sophia followed after. However, instead of wrapping her arms around him, she grabbed the back of her seat.

“We don’t have any helmets, it’s safer if you hold onto me,” Charles said to Sophia without looking back as he started the bike.

Sophia bit her lip lightly and looked at Mr. Zellner’s subordinate who was casually staring at her, and she reluctantly leaned forward and wrapped her arms around Charles.

The motorcycle started moving and a cold breeze blew against them.

In order to leave here as quickly as possible, Charles drove at maximum speed, and so the piercing cold wind chilled them right to the bone as it rushed against their necks.

Soon after they set off, a few cars appeared behind them.

Right then, it was already dark, and although they could not see the car clearly, they could make out that they were black Volkswagens. Moreover, the cars had been trailing behind them for over ten minutes or so, which made them incredibly suspicious.

Charles’ eyes turned cold when he noticed the cars from the rearview mirror.

Just as he had expected, Mr. Zellner was not about to let him and Sophia off the hook after retrieving the accounting records!

“We’re being followed, hold on tight and don’t look back,” he muttered to Sophia as he swerved the bike in between a Land Rover and an Audi.

Then, before the two car owners even realized it, he had already darted off as he swerved between the other cars ahead of him.

Screeching sounds of the cars braking abruptly rang through the air, followed by screams of surprise. The initially steady traffic instantly fell into chaos.

“Stop!” Sophia shrieked as panic filled her eyes. “If they realize that we’re trying to flee, they might shoot and hurt innocent people!”

However, Charles did not slow down. “We’re in the city now, they won’t do anything stupid. We’ll be finished if we stop right now!”

Mr. Zellner’s subordinates were stuck behind the cars and no matter how much they honked, it was no use. They scrambled out of their cars and began running toward Charles and Sophia, some ran on the road whereas some vaulted over car hoods.

Sophia and Charles were stuck in the jam as well so they were not any better. After riding for barely a hundred meters, they were stuck as well.

Unaware of what was going on, the drivers got out of their cars and exchanged confused looks——

“What’s going on?”

“That man is so handsome! Are they filming?”

“Hello, 911? There’s someone riding a motorcycle recklessly on Hillside Avenue and we’re stuck in a heavy jam!”

Just as things were as chaotic as it could get, all of a sudden——

Bang!

A muffled gunshot rang through the air.

Everyone quieted down for a long moment before someone finally asked, “What was that sound…”

Bang bang bang!

Several gunshots soon followed and this time, everyone heard it clearly. Screams filled the air as everyone covered their hands and ran to seek cover under their cars.
