Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 54 So Cool

didn’t realize that Sophie knows how to play the drums,” commented Felix, who was rather surprised.“Neither did I.”The music played, and Sophie turned to Mark. Their eyes locked before their performance began.Sophie spun her drumstick in a way that made her look cool.The lights landed on both Mark and Sophie.When Sophie played the drums, her style was so breathtaking that every move she made stirred Tristan’s heart.Tristan rarely went to concerts, but the way Sophie played the drums at that moment… She was mesmerizing, and for a moment there, he felt as though that drum set was perfect for her. It was almost as if she was born to be a drummer.Many fans were unhappy at the beginning when they weren’t chosen as the lucky fan and couldn’t hang out with Mark. After seeing Sophie’s performance, however, everyone was pacified.They thought that the lucky audience member was cool and worked perfectly in sync with Mark.The song was over soon. Sophie put the drumsticks away and planned on getting off that stage right away.“Let’s have dinner together,” invited Mark.“I’m busy.”“You’re still as cool as ever,” commented Mark. He couldn’t help smiling at that. “But I don’t care. I’ll be leaving Jipsdale in a few days for my tour, so you must have dinner with us.”“Is that a threat?”“No, I wouldn’t have the guts to do so. The band can’t afford to lose you.”“Mark, I’m sure you know this, but I only joined the band for fun. I never intended to make a career out of this.”“I know. That is why I’m asking you to have dinner with all of us sometime. For old time’s sake,” said Mark. He never overstepped or pushed her.“Fine.”Eventually, Sophie agreed to go to dinner with him.Back then, she joined Mark’s band because she was bored. Their band happened to be looking for a drummer, so she auditioned for the role.“Give me an autograph. My friend’s a huge fan.”“Not a problem.”As a prank, Mark signed his name on her coat.Sophie walked down the stage and made her way back to Tristan.“Let’s go home.”The concert was over, so the fans returned to their seats.Tristan narrowed his eyes when he saw the signature on Sophie’s coat. A dangerous aura oozed out of him.I guess I’ll have to get someone to break that superstar’s hand.“What’s wrong?” asked Sophie. Is it just me or is he angry again?“It’s nothing. You let him touch you, huh?” replied Tristan as he pointed at the signature on her coat.Sophie was speechless.She took off her coat right away and handed it to Ysabelle.“Here, the autograph you asked for.”In truth, Sophie didn’t expect Mark to sign on her coat either.Ysabelle hugged Sophie tightly in her arms after getting the autograph she had been dreaming about.“Ah, Soph! I love you so much,” she exclaimed. She never imagined that she would actually get her hands on Mark’s autograph.Oh boy, did I just offend Uncle Tristan? Why is he looking at me as though he’s going to kill me?Felix was surprised as well. He didn’t think that Tristan would be jealous of his own niece.Isn’t that a little too possessive?Winter didn’t get to push her way in earlier, but she saw Sophie’s performance from afar with the rest of the crowd.My guess is that Sophie knows that supposed superstar, Mark. How else could they work so perfectly in sync? Relationships between band members have always been messy. Who knows? Maybe the two of them have a complicated past together.She was convinced that Sophie would be in hot waters if any incriminating evidence was exposed. I’m certain that the powerful Tristan would be pickier with women.The group of five returned to their seats soon after. Ysabelle was still excited and kept staring at the autograph.“It’s just a signature, isn’t it? I can sign a dozen for you in a minute. Is it really necessary to stare at it like that?”“Pfft, I’m not interested in your signature. Not all signatures are valuable, you know?”“Ysabelle, that’s a little harsh, isn’t it? My signature is worth millions… maybe even more. How is it worthless
