Chapter 105
Sophia's lips curled into a mocking smile as she jabbed at her phone screen. "Some middle-aged creeps just love harassing young women at midnight, demanding photos and videos. Disgusting. Should I call the police right now?"
Silence fell on the other end.
Ethan's breathing grew heavier, his voice gritted through clenched teeth. "Sophia, are you trying to die?"
"Hit a nerve?" She let out a cold laugh. "Listen to yourself. How are you any different from those perverts?"
"I just wanted to see your face!" he nearly shouted.
"Yeah, right." She rolled her eyes. "I'm hanging up."
"Wait!" Ethan's voice turned urgent. "Why did you block me on social media?"
Her fingers paused. A smirk played on her lips. "That's for humans to see. You don't qualify."
The call ended abruptly.
She swiftly dragged the number into her block list and sank into the soft bedding. The frustration from earlier tonight had finally been vented.
Meanwhile, a loud crash echoed through a luxury hotel suite.
Ethan stared at the blocked number before slamming his phone onto the coffee table. The crystal ashtray jumped from the impact.
"Who dared to piss off the great Ethan Roscente?" Felix strolled in, swirling a half-filled glass of whiskey.
Taking one look at Ethan's stormy expression, Felix wisely circled to the opposite sofa. "Let me guess... Sophia Lowell again?"
Ethan massaged his temples, his knuckles turning white.
"Honestly, you had it coming." Felix crossed his legs. "She got dragged on the university forum today. She’s already fuming."
Ethan’s eyes snapped open.
"You really didn’t know?" Felix feigned shock. "Daniel Clementson’s mother caused a scene at the campus today. Almost cost Sophia her job."
He pulled out his phone and scrolled. "Here, the forum’s blowing up."
Ethan took the phone, the cold screen light reflecting his increasingly dark expression. With each swipe, the air around him grew heavier.
Felix subtly inched away.
"Daniel. Clementson." Ethan bit out each syllable, his grip making the phone creak in protest.
