Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 76

"Ms. Jones didn't mean to scald you, and now she's even apologizing. Come on, forgive her," Megan whispered as she tugged at Sophia's hem.

Sophia gave her a look and pulled her hem out of Megan's grip.

Megan felt the cloth slip from her hand and smiled a little sheepishly. She put down her hand and then raised it again, not quite sure what to do with it now.

"It's up to Ms. Jones if she wants to apologize, but it's up to me if I want to forgive her." Sophia looked at Leah. It was as though she was talking about this incident but something else at the same time. "I will never forgive you for what you did. Even if I die, I will take this hatred for you into the grave."

There was a gleam in Leah's eyes and a flash of sadness that was gone in an instant.

William's handsome face turned hard. He barked, "Sophia Wh…"

"Sophia needs rest. Leave the gifts here, Will, and let's leave." Leah interrupted him and sat back into her wheelchair with great difficulty.

Williams's brow was creased into a deep frown. "But she's gone too far!"

"She's not wrong. It's up to me if I want to apologize to her, and it's up to her if she wants to forgive me." Leah's smile was rather bitter. "Besides, accident or not, I did hurt her. Let's go, Will."

With that, she gave Sophia an apologetic smile and wheeled herself out of the room.

William did not move from the spot. Glaring at Sophia coldly, he said, "You truly…" disappoint me.

"If I remember correctly, I just told you last night not to be alone with me, Mr. Jones. I don't want to be called a hussy or a homewrecker all because of a self-absorbed and frankly detestable person." Sophia interrupted him.

William's thin lips were pursed into a line. He clenched his fists tightly, using so much force that his knuckles turned white.

"Ms. Jones is waiting for you outside. You should leave soon. I wouldn't want her misunderstanding anything," Sophia said coolly, ignoring his fury.

William snorted at her angrily. "Save your breath. I'll leave even if you don't tell me to!"

He strode toward the door, but his hand paused around the doorknob. In a quiet voice, he said, "It's a matter of time before you regret your foolish cockiness!"

"Whether I regret it or not, it has nothing to do with you, so please don't waste your brainpower on me." Her leg had already been broken, so what else was there to regret? The only things she regretted were falling in love with Charles Harris and thinking of Leah Jones as her best friend.

Bam!

William slammed the door shut behind him, looking utterly livid as he left.

Megan's knees were feeling weak. Using the wall as support, she slowly shuffled back to the side of the bed where she sat down. Her voice was still trembling as she said, "Thank goodness you reacted quickly and stowed the lingerie away. I have no idea how we could've explained that otherwise."

On the bed, Sophia lowered her gaze and stayed silent.

"Actually, it doesn't really matter, right? Even if Mr. and Ms. Jones saw it, they wouldn't say anything as long as we don't mention that we're using the lingerie to seduce Mr. Harris. I was so nervous just now that I didn't even think about that!" Megan patted her chest, trying to calm her racing heart.

Sophia took out the sexy lingerie and folded them back into the box. "How much are they? I'll transfer the money to you."

"Oh, not much. We're friends, right? You don't have to sweat these small things." Megan carefully tried to butter her up.
