Chapter 387 The Definition of Foolishness
There was something in Atlas’s eyes I didn’t understand. Soon after, he said, “I don’t believe you’re that
stupid, Chloe.”
Again, he called me stupid, I retorted, “Since you think I’m stupid, you ignore my feelings and dowhatever
you want. You’re too self–centered. Do you even know how to respect others? Don’t you know othersalsonovelbin
have dignity and rights?”
I became agitated. “Yes, I’m stupid enough t
you and your people to treat me like an idiot. Still, I
willingly get hurt to play these deceitful games with you. I was stupid enough to sacrifice myself foryou.”
Suddenly, I saw his eyes narrow and his hands clenched
“I was stupid enough to watch you turn your back on me while I was on the floor. You’re right. I finallyrealized how stupid I was.” I lowered my gaze, feeling tears welling in my eyes. After a while, I sighed, ”Forget it:”
When my words fell, I felt like a deflated balloon. I finally vented my frustrations. Although I managed tomaintain my dignity, I felt I had lost something inside me.
“Let’s keep our relationship professional,” I said disappointedly.
“Then what?” Atlas looked at me indifferently.
“No matter what I say, one thing is certain–I’m unworthy of you. Let’s not entangle ourselves anyfurther. You can have countless women, just not me. We’re only business partners from now on.”
“What if the collaboration ends? His words startled me, and I looked at him, feeling even morepowerless.
I knew it was time to consider that. Dazed, I saw Atlas’s mocking smirk. He squinted while waiting formy response. Finally, I said firmly, “Then let’s pretend we never met. I’ll forget you and never botheryou again.
He looked panicked as he pursed his lips.
I smirked and added, “I forget many things because I’m stupid. Can you rest easy now?”
“Chloe!” He called out, somewhat exasperated.
I looked into his eyes, saying, “I hope you stop treating me this way. I’ve done nothing wrong to you, soyou don’t have to be so cold toward me. Maybe no one has told you this yet. You’re attractive whenyou’re gentle and affectionate. I envy Harmony for seeing your carefree smile.”
My voice had a teasing undertone, and I tried to make my laughter alluring. “Oh, I also made a mistakewhen you were unconscious. I begged to spend ten minutes with you, only to get slapped.
“It seems I’ll stay safe and avoid disrupting your grand schemes by staying away from you. I’m sorry. Itwon’t happen again. Thank you for all your help last time.”
“Chloe, think back on what I said. You’ll understand it someday.” Atlas looked restrained. He seemed tostruggle to say something but held it back.
“You’ve said too much. What are you referring to?” My gaze was piercing.
“Then remember what you just said. Staying away will help you protect yourself.” His voice softened.
I smiled, “Well said.”
Then, there was silence between us.
Suddenly, someone interrupted us, “Atlas, what are you guys talking about?”
Harmony wrapped her arms around Atlas.
I squinted at them, thinking the celebrity and tycoon matched perfectly. I smiled calmly, looking atAtlas’s
restrained expression. I said, “You’ll see what real stupidity looks like soon.”
