A few minutes ago in the conference room.

"We shouldn't have done that," Anna said with a sad face.

"You are horrible, Jake," Sofia shouted.

"That is enough, Sofia. Don't blame him, as all of us agree to do this," Joseph said softly.

"No, not me, all of you. I found out only this morning and you forced me to do this. And I told you before I am not interested in you, so don't try to be all familiar with me," Sofia snapped.

"Anna, did you know about this?" she asked.

Anna was sad too, so she just shook her head denying it, as she wasn't in the mood to talk.

The room became silent, and there was only a crying sound in the room.

She suddenly stood up and declared, "I propose to bring them back."

No one replied to her. So she looked toward Joseph, but he averted her gaze.

She mocked, "I can see your sincerity for me."

She turned to Anna, "Are you all right with this? He helped us when no one did. He is our benefactor..."

Anna flinched. She was going to say something but Jake said first.

"That's enough, Sofia. We have five people left. Even if you want them back, you need another two vote for that. And I believe that none of them will agree to it."

Sofia looked towards all of them one-by-one.

"Fine. I don't want to stay in such a place either. I want a way out too," she said in a measured tone, which was suppressing her sadness and rage.

Everyone was shocked to hear that.

"Fine," Jack said. He wrote another cheque for her.

She took the cheque and put it in her pocket, and ran toward the exit.

She didn't look anywhere else, and she didn't care if people think that her action might be unladylike. She only cared if Harry left the parking lot or not.

She ran while shouting his name. She was going crazy as she couldn't find him. It would have been bad if she didn't see a couple kissing, as she didn't care about him with being other women. As long as she could stay with him, anything was acceptable.

She ran near him, shouting his name. She had many words that she wanted to convey to him. But she couldn't say anything when she faced him. So she took out her cheque and gave it to Harry, hoping he would understand her feeling.

At this point when Harry and Sara saw it, they were shocked.

Harry was touched by her actions and the sacrifice she made for him. He stared at the cheque, and he could feel her feelings for him.

Sara was trying hard not to cry. She never put anyone in her eyes as her father pampered her like a princess. Thus, she never talked much with anyone other than Harry.

She knew about Sofia's crush but chose to ignore it as that time she didn't know about Harry being a wizard, so she considers a normal way and he can have only one wife. But things are different now as she got an unknown competitor. It would be better for her if she had a partner and could gang up on an unknown competitor to decide a primary wife.

In just two days, she mentally changed from Muggle to being a witch, even if she can't use magic, she learns from her mother's past.

"W-Why?" Harry stuttered.

"Why, for you, of course," Sofia stated as if it was the same thing as the sun rising from the east.

Harry looked back on the cheque. "Dumb" He spoke one word, which shocked the other two, after looking at the cheque for a few moments.

"You could have stayed there and earned money while helping us with spying on them.

Sara got angry after hearing that. She hated and loved his personality. He could say something so romantic at an unexpected time or place that you want to just listen to him for eternity and kiss him with love.

This was the other part of his personality; he could be so childish that he would ruin a perfect romantic moment with an insensitive remark.

Sara couldn't take it, so she pinched Harry's waist as hard as she could. Harry screamed in pain but he got the message.

Harry opened his arm and looked toward Sofia as if he was inviting her into his embrace.

She jumped onto him and started crying loudly, emptying her feeling which she has been suppressing until now.

Harry patted her back and comforted her.

She didn't stop her crying for fully five minutes, while Sara went to her car and brought a water bottle, and offered it to Sofia.

"Sofia, let me tell you something about Harvey; he doesn't like a crybaby."

That worked like a charm; she stopped crying immediately.

Harry and Sara both laughed while watching that.

"Let me make things clear since we are here. I have women other than Sara and in the future, there will be more. I..."

Sara punched him before he could finish speaking.

"You are the dumb one. How can you be so insensitive in such a romantic moment? You are supposed to take her to a car and undress her. Dumie, you miss the chance."

Harry was dumbfounded to hear Sara's suggestion.

'When did she become like this?' 'I expected her to change after that, but this...'

Sofia was drinking water when Sara spoke. She was almost choked with water.

As for Harry having other women, she didn't care.

"I don't care about anything else as long as I can stay with him."

The other two were shocked to hear her resolute declaration of her love for Harry.

Harry got near her in a flash. He took her face in his hand and kissed her on the forehead.

It was enough to transfer how he felt for her.
