Chapter 12 Take Off Your Clothes

After she watched him walk away, Sophia touched her stomach which was starting to ache from hunger before walking to the elevator after accepting her fate. There was an open pool in the rooftop of Dream Club. Sophia thought it would be cold in weather like this, but when she opened the door, she saw that the pool was filled with handsome men and beautiful women. The most beautiful women in the public relations department were wearing bikinis. When she saw this, Sophia thought of the word ‘debauchery’. Who would even care about the temperature now? She did not dare to look. She lowered her head to look for a spot to clean when she heard someone calling her. “Cleaning lady, come here and clear the empty bottles. Get us new ones too.” She was the only one wearing the janitor’s uniform. Sophia lifted her head to look at the direction of the voice and saw numerous empty wine bottles on the long table next to the pool. The reds and whites were mixed together, making such an unusual sight. She licked the corner of her lips and picked up an empty box before walking over. She started cleaning up quickly. When she was halfway done, someone threw a volleyball into the pool and water splashed all over the place. Sophia was shocked. She backed away reflexively and crashed into someone. Then, she heard a cute ‘ouch’ before the person started complaining, “How filthy! Look where you’re going.” Sophia turned around and saw a woman in a white dress. Her face turned red and she apologized humbly. “I’m sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose…” “You’re just a janitor so why are you here? Can you even pay me back if you dirty my dress? Such bad luck…” This commotion attracted the attention of the people on the sofa. He looked over to Sophia and saw her lowered side profile. In the debauched and corrupt environment, she looked refreshingly out of place. He asked, “What’s going on?” When the woman heard his voice, she made an aggrieved face and turned around sweetly. “Mr. Phillips, what do you think? My dress was dirtied by this janitor…” “Oh?” Sawyer Phillips glanced at her chest with ulterior motives and smiled. “It’s just a dress. Just ask her to pay you back for it. Cleaning lady, come here.” Sophia knew she was in trouble. However, she could not afford to offend anyone here. She closed her eyes and walked over. When she was close, Sawyer’s eyes glinted. He put down the glass in his hand and looked at her from head to toe with interest. “Miss Janitor, you have to pay if you dirty someone else’s dress.” Sophia was taken aback. She looked at the girl’s dress and saw that it was branded. It was from a collection that she was unable to afford. “I’m unable to pay for this dress with my salary. However, if you’re willing, I can wash it for you after the party.” Sawyer was even more interested as he did not expect her to admit that she was poor so directly. He narrowed his fox-like eyes. “Since you’re unable to pay for it, then take off your clothes and exchange it with her, what do you think?” His voice was not soft at all. The people around them noticed that something was going on so they came forward to check it out. After she got out of prison, she only had a few uniforms. She was only wearing underwear underneath. Sophia’s face was pale when she knew that he was purposely making things difficult for her. “Why? Are you not happy that I’m asking you to exchange this with your stupid uniform?” “Mr. Phillips, this cleaning lady doesn't know how to behave. She doesn’t even want to take off her clothes. Is she not wearing anything underneath? Such a wh*re…” “Oh, I have to see this. Take it off now…” Everyone was starting to laugh at her. Sophia clutched onto her clothes and shivered. When she was about to remove her button, a warm hand grabbed her shoulder. She was startled. Then, her body was leaning against a warm chest. Charles smirked but his narrow eyes were icy. When he lifted his thick eyebrows, he looked like a king who was towering over everyone. He stood out in the crowd with his arrogance. When Sophia lifted her head, she could see the lines of his chin. She could not help but swallow her saliva. The curve of his smile was alluring, however, his words were as piercing as a knife. “What’s wrong? When are you interested in this kind of woman, Mr. Phillips?” This kind of woman… Sophia lowered her head. “What are you talking about, Mr. Harris? We’re just having fun. We won’t be able to have fun if we don’t do this, right?” “Have fun? Is that so?” Charles smiled. Before the crowd could take a good look, the man who called Sophia a wh*re was kicked into the pool by Charles with a loud splash. Sophia was shocked.
