Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 78 Blushing

was no way she would give up and leave. “Don’t worry! I won’t let you down! I have faith in you, Ms. Sophie. I trust that you can take the company to even greater heights.Sophie slept until noon on Sunday.It wasn’t until she accepted Ysabelle’s invitation for lunch that she got up and washed up.“Are you all right, Soph? You really shouldn’t pay any attention to those nasty comments,” Ysabelle advised. Even though Soph isn’t saying anything, it still makes me worry about her.“I’m fine! Relax. I’ll let Letitia parade around for a few more days.” Sophie was going to give Letitia more chances to show off her acting skills.After she almost finished lunch, she suddenly felt her stomach cramping. “I need to go to the restroom.”“Do you need me to accompany you?” Ysabelle asked.“No need! You should just eat.”Sophie spent some time in the restroom before she felt better. Hmm, if I’m not wrong, my menstruation period should be around the corner. I need to go get some pads later…When she opened the door, she saw Letitia smiling at her smugly.Sophie ignored her and washed her hands at the washbasin.“If you apologize to me now, I’ll consider letting Transfix Cosmetics go!” Letitia negotiated.Sophie didn’t want to talk to her. She’s so incredibly greedy. Even now, she’s still trying to extort more money.When she went out, Letitia followed behind her and abruptly said, “I’m at my wit’s end now, Ms. Tanner! I beg you, please show me mercy! Yes, I know I shouldn’t have told the truth, but now, every night, I can’t sleep! Please, let me go! I’m just an ordinary civilian. I’m no match for Tanner Group!”From the moment she started speaking, Sophie knew what she was doing. If my guess is correct, there’s probably a recording device on her body. What a cheap tactic this is.“Ah! Ms. Tanner! Why did you hit me?” Letitia uttered as she gave herself a slap.Sophie stayed silent and watched her continue to put on a show.Despite being glared at intently, Letitia stubbornly continued to act out her script.“Have you had enough fun, Ms. Gatrell? I don’t think it’s possible for you to make it big in the entertainment industry with your poor acting,” Sophie dissed.“You—” Letitia pulled out her recording device and pressed stop. “You need not worry about how I’ll fare in the future, Ms. Tanner. Although, with your current reputation on the internet, what do you think will happen if the netizens heard this recording?”“Let me ask you something, Ms. Gatrell. Are the cosmetics sold by Transfix Cosmetics really defective? Or is it just something you made up to get attention?”When Letitia saw the confused look on Sophie’s face, she grinned smugly.“I bet you’re really regretting taking over Transfix Cosmetics now, Ms. Tanner! Say, you’re just a high-schooler. Why are you doing this instead of studying? I kind of pity you, so I’ll tell you this. That’s right, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with Transfix Cosmetics’ products at all! I tampered with them. But who’s going to believe you? Even if you tell everyone what I said, still no one will believe you, because everyone only trusts me now. I’m the victim here, you see. Nonetheless, if you compensate me right now, I’ll consider letting the company off. Say, how much are you all willing to pay this time?” The last time she did that, she got five million as compensation.Although, she had already spent all of it.She wanted to become a
