Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 8

Charles lifted his head to look at the woman. He faked a smile. “When did the manager of Dream Club, Marie Langdon, become so kind-hearted to stand up for irrelevant people?”

Marie lifted her eyebrows flirtatiously. When she was about to open her mouth…

There was a knock on the door. She was shocked. She put down her teapot. “I’m not kind-hearted. However, that girl is hardworking, and she’s able to endure hardships. It’ll be such a pity if she died in front of my door.”

After she said that, she sashayed over to open the door.

Charles watched her back while squinting his eyes. His brain was occupied with what Sophia said when she knelt there. That woman had changed indeed.

He lifted his teacup and took a sip. It was slightly bitter.

Marie stood at the door and talked to the person there. After that, she returned to the office.

Charles was drinking his tea. His movements were elegant and graceful. He was a born aristocrat. She was in a daze. Then, she came back to her senses and said softly, “The person fainted.”

The hand that was holding the teacup stopped mid-air. “Where’s William?”

“He’s frenetic. He sent her to the hospital himself.”

Charles pressed his lips together. His expression was hard to read. After a while, he said, “Get two people to follow them.”

Sophia felt like she was dreaming. In her dream, she was back in prison. The fat prison leader was hitting her. She could not take it anymore, so she committed arson.

The people who bullied her in the dream were all trapped in the fire, and so was she.

When she felt like she finally got the release she wanted, she opened her eyes and was slammed back to reality.

She looked at the IV bottle above her head and frowned in disappointment. When the nurse who was taking care of her saw her face, she could not help but mock her, “What’s wrong? Are you disappointed to be alive?”

Sophia looked at the rustling trees outside the window and did not say anything. The nurse shook her head and walked out with an empty bottle of medicine.

Sophia was the only one left in the room. Perhaps she was exhausted, so she fell asleep groggily after a while. When she woke up, it was already dark outside.
