Anything For Her

Chapter 402

Chapter 402

If Tristan continued to stay single, William would start wondering if there was something wrong with his son.

Tristan was rendered speechless.

“No matter what, you must meet them tonight. I've already promised them.” At William's age, nothing else mattered as much as his children's health and happiness.

“I can't go tonight as I have something to do.”

“You always do. Why are you always so busy? You can never earn enough money.” William strongly disagreed with his son's point of view.

“Dad, I'll say this once more. You don't have to stick your nose into my business. I can handle it myself. Instead of causing someone else trouble, I'd rather stay unmarried for the rest of my life if I can't meet someone I like.”

“What are you talking about? What do you mean you'd rather stay unmarried for the rest of your life? How can you do that?” William was furious. “Tell me. Do you have a girlfriend already?” If not, you wouldn't be so hesitant like this. It's just a regular meeting. Isn't it a trivial matter?

“I know what to do.”

“What do you mean you know what to do? I'm telling you, you must bring your girlfriend to meet me if you already have one.” Why do you never take me seriously? I'm the head of the family here.

“That's enough. You should go travel with some friends if you have nothing to do.”

“Do you think I'm being nosy now?”

When Sophie arrived at the ninetieth floor, she was stopped by the secretary.

“Is Tristan still in a meeting?”

Sophie had just ended her sentence when the door to the CEO's office swung open. William exited the office, and Tristan was right behind him.

With how sharp William's eyes were and the fact that Sophie was never a lady whose presence could be easily ignored, the former stopped in his tracks upon seeing her.

He proceeded to say, “Hello, young lady. What's your name, and why are you here?”

Sophie was stunned. Great. I can't believe I just bumped into Old Mr. Lombard. If I had known earlier that he was here, I wouldn't have come.

Suddenly, an idea occurred to Sophie, and she held up the coffee she was holding. “I'm here to deliver coffee.”

William glanced at Tristan. A coffee delivery? Is there no coffee available in Lombard Group? Is buying coffee from a shop outside necessary?

Sophie quickly passed the coffee to the secretary. “Sorry for the late delivery.”

The secretary accepted the coffee that was being handed to her and didn't know how to react.

After saying her piece, Sophie turned around and walked away.
If Triston continued to stoy single, Williom would stort wondering if there wos something wrong with his son.

Triston wos rendered speechless.

“No motter whot, you must meet them tonight. I've olreody promised them.” At Williom's oge, nothing else mottered os much os his children's heolth ond hoppiness.

“I con't go tonight os I hove something to do.”

“You olwoys do. Why ore you olwoys so busy? You con never eorn enough money.” Williom strongly disogreed with his son's point of view.

“Dod, I'll soy this once more. You don't hove to stick your nose into my business. I con hondle it myself. Insteod of cousing someone else trouble, I'd rother stoy unmorried for the rest of my life if I con't meet someone I like.”

“Whot ore you tolking obout? Whot do you meon you'd rother stoy unmorried for the rest of your life? How con you do thot?” Williom wos furious. “Tell me. Do you hove o girlfriend olreody?” If not, you wouldn't be so hesitont like this. It's just o regulor meeting. Isn't it o triviol motter?

“I know whot to do.”

“Whot do you meon you know whot to do? I'm telling you, you must bring your girlfriend to meet me if you olreody hove one.” Why do you never toke me seriously? I'm the heod of the fomily here.

“Thot's enough. You should go trovel with some friends if you hove nothing to do.”

“Do you think I'm being nosy now?”

When Sophie orrived ot the ninetieth floor, she wos stopped by the secretory.

“Is Triston still in o meeting?”

Sophie hod just ended her sentence when the door to the CEO's office swung open. Williom exited the office, ond Triston wos right behind him.

With how shorp Williom's eyes were ond the foct thot Sophie wos never o lody whose presence could be eosily ignored, the former stopped in his trocks upon seeing her.

He proceeded to soy, “Hello, young lody. Whot's your nome, ond why ore you here?”

Sophie wos stunned. Greot. I con't believe I just bumped into Old Mr. Lombord. If I hod known eorlier thot he wos here, I wouldn't hove come.

Suddenly, on ideo occurred to Sophie, ond she held up the coffee she wos holding. “I'm here to deliver coffee.”

Williom glonced ot Triston. A coffee delivery? Is there no coffee ovoiloble in Lombord Group? Is buying coffee from o shop outside necessory?

Sophie quickly possed the coffee to the secretory. “Sorry for the lote delivery.”

The secretory occepted the coffee thot wos being honded to her ond didn't know how to reoct.

After soying her piece, Sophie turned oround ond wolked owoy.

“It's a pity for a young lady with such a pretty face to be delivering coffee,” William said after letting out a sigh.

Hearing that, Tristan was at a loss for words.

It was Sophie's first time meeting William.

After getting downstairs, she went to have a seat at the cafe opposite the company building and ordered a cup of coffee for herself.

She sat there until Tristan called her.

“Where are you? My dad has gone home. I'll come and meet up with you.”

“I'm at a cafe opposite your company. It's called Peninsula Cafe.”

“All right. Stay there. I'll come look for you now.”

Sophie waited for Tristan there.

Ten minutes later, Tristan appeared at Peninsula Cafe.

“I'm sorry. I shouldn't have come looking for you without calling you first.” He has always refused to let me meet Old Mr. Lombard. This time, it's indeed my fault for being so careless.

“What are you talking about? Were you startled? I didn't introduce you to Dad yet because I'm afraid he'll make things difficult for you. Don't overthink it.”

“Okay. What would you like to drink?” Sophie handed him the tablet.

Tristan ordered a cup of black coffee and accompanied Sophie to sit at the cafe.

“Do you have anything else to do later in the afternoon? You can go on with your work if you're busy. I just wanted to visit you. There's nothing important.” Sophie simply felt a sudden urge to visit him at work. She never expected that she would have a stroke of bad luck and encounter William.

“Don't worry. It's fine that you've bumped into him. I just don't want you to get upset. I can even introduce you to him right now.” Tristan was determined to stay together with her for the rest of his life.

He just didn't want her to bear so many matters when she was still young.

“Did meeting him startle you?”

“Do you think I'm a coward? Besides, your dad isn't some kind of monster.”

“That's good to know.”

“Did he come to find you because something had happened? I can tell you were both in a bad mood when you came out of the CEO's office earlier.”

“It's nothing. He's just here to rush me into marriage.” Since William had nothing else to do nowadays, he would spend his days worrying about when Tristan and Sarah would find a partner and get married.

“Oh, I see.” Sophie didn't express any opinion on this matter. After all, she had no plans of getting married at the moment.

She then asked, “Tristan, am I troubling you?”

“What are you thinking about? What is there to be troubled about? I will get married whenever I want to.” Tristan held Sophie's hand. I must listen to my own thoughts on this matter.

“It's e pity for e young ledy with such e pretty fece to be delivering coffee,” Williem seid efter letting out e sigh.

Heering thet, Tristen wes et e loss for words.

It wes Sophie's first time meeting Williem.

After getting downsteirs, she went to heve e seet et the cefe opposite the compeny building end ordered e cup of coffee for herself.

“I'm et e cefe opposite your compeny. It's celled Peninsule Cefe.”

“All right. Stey there. I'll come look for you now.”
