Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 57 Private Territory

designer was thrilled with the dress. As a designer, her primary aim was to be able to get her customers to showcase her impeccable designs.The designer then approached Sophie to check out the dress. “The area around your waist is still a little loose, though. Ms. Tanner, you have such a slender waist!”Sophie had a spectacular figure. Despite being slim, she had all the assets a woman would want on her body.“It’s all right.” Sophie wasn’t bothered. Nonetheless, she was in love with the dress.“Ms. Tanner, Mr. Lombard had personally picked this out for you.”“Thank you.” With that, Sophie went to the changing room to change into her own clothes.The designer wanted to alter Sophie’s dress, so Sophie and Tristan sat on the couch and waited.“Mr. Lombard, your suit is ready.” The assistant brought Tristan’s suit out and asked, “Do you need to try them on?”“That won’t be necessary. You can just leave them there.” His suits were always tailored there, so he was quite sure everything would fit nicely.“It’s getting late. Shall we have lunch first?” Tristan asked.Sophie nodded in response. Since she had just had a hearty breakfast, she wasn’t hungry. However, she was getting bored while waiting.After instructing the assistant to send the dress and the suit to a particular location, Tristan brought Sophie to a fancy restaurant.The moment Sophie sat down, she received a call from Ysabelle.“Soph, where are you?” Ysabelle’s schedule was packed that day, so she had only found the time to ring Sophie.“I’m at Dream Restaurant.” Sophie was talking to Ysabelle and flipping through the menu at the same time.“What? You’re only having lunch now? By the way, you must come over tonight, okay?” Ysabelle was worried that Sophie wouldn’t show up.“I know, Ms. Lombard. I’ll be there. That’s all, right? I still have matters to attend to, so I’ll be hanging up now.” With that, Sophie hung up the call.Seeing that she had finally gotten off the phone, Tristan asked, “What would you like to eat? They serve good steak here.”“I’ll have a salad to go with the steak, then.”Tristan ordered the dishes.When the steak was served, Tristan helped her cut the steak into small pieces.Being the handsome man that he was, he looked dashing even when he was cutting steak.After he was done cutting, he served the plate to Sophie.“Mr. Tristan, thank you so much for today. You don’t have to accompany me to get the dress, actually. I can do it on my own.” Knowing how busy Tristan was, Sophie was surprised that he would spend so much time with her. After all, getting a dress is just a small matter.“Don’t worry about it. These are all things I want to do. As long as that’s the case, I don’t find them tedious at all.” Tristan continued cutting the steak.After lunch, he found out he had left something behind at Lombard Group. Hence, he brought her along to the legendary Lombard Group’s headquarters.“I’ll just wait in the car.”“It’s fine. Let’s head up together so that I can show you my working environment.” Upon saying that, he went and opened the car door for Sophie.Sophie had no choice but to get out of the car.Lombard Group’s headquarters was the most luxurious commercial building in Jipsdale. It was a ninety-story skyscraper.Tristan brought Sophie along to the ninetieth floor using the elevator meant for the CEO.The entire ninetieth floor was reserved for the CEO, and it had all the facilities one could ask for.It was divided into two sections. One was for work, and it comprised the CEO’s personal office and five offices for the secretaries. Apart from that, there was a luxurious conference room and a massive pantry.The other section was Tristan’s private space, and it was designed like a presidential suite.“Do you stay here?” Sophie asked, knowing that she was staying in his unit at Wisteria Apartments.“I would stay here whenever I’m caught up with work.”Lombard Group had all sorts of subsidiaries dealing in different industries. When he took over the company, there were a lot of things he needed to familiarize himself with. Furthermore, the power struggle within the company was a thorny situation to deal with.When that happened, Tristan would just stay there and work endlessly.Hence, the place was properly equipped, and he had everything he needed. After all, he wasn’t one to mistreat himself.“Have a look around, okay? I’ll go to the office to get some things ironed out. I’ll be back once
