Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 88 The Grand Gesture

Sophie hopped on board the helicopter easily.The reporters below watched the helicopter depart with their jaws dropped.The helicopter must be here for Cecelia! It is not unusual for an award-winning actress like her to have such vast resources at her disposal.After recovering from their initial shock, their excitement began to grow.With this scoop, our salary this month is going to swell several times over!After several moments of silence within the helicopter, Cecelia glanced at Sophie and Tristan.“Aren’t you going to introduce us, Sophie?”“This is Tristan Lombard, and that is Felix Northley.”“Tristan Lombard? Mr. Tristan of Lombard Group?”Sophie nodded.Cecelia’s coolness began to fall apart. It really is him! How is Sophie acquainted with these influential and powerful people?“This is Cecelia Lance, a friend of mine.”Tristan nodded at Cecelia by way of greeting, who had by then regained her composure.Having met all kinds of women before, it’s no wonder Mr. Tristan is hardly taken with my beauty. He only has eyes for Sophie.Cecelia noted to herself that Tristan was indeed fond of her friend.He has good looks, money, power, and loyalty. Wow, lucky Sophie.“I’m in awe of you, Sophie.”This way of escaping from the press conference was beautifully done!Felix could not refrain from gushing his praise.“That’s enough, Felix.” Sophie glared at him.Felix fell silent reluctantly. Being a prominent figure in Jipsdale, he could not believe how he was dissed.Cecelia could not help but giggle.Sophie has not changed over the years.Felix stared at Cecelia. Though he dared not talk back to Sophie, he did not have the same regard for an actress.“He’s looking at me threateningly, Sophie,” Cecelia complained.“You-”Felix was furious that Sophie caught him in the act. His gaze was indeed frightening.“I did not, Mr. Tristan.” Felix was not about to back down. So what if Cecelia has her backer, and so do I!However, Tristan did not pay him any mind.“My apologies,” Felix muttered, not expecting such a predicament to befall him.Seeing that, Cecelia became smug.This is how powerful my backer is.Josiah was pleased to see Cecelia when the group arrived at the hospital. As Sophie and Cecelia were old friends, the latter had been a frequent visitor to the Tanner residence.“Is that you, Cecelia? It’s been a long time since you paid me a visit. Have you forgotten all about me?”Cecelia grinned. She cut some fruits for Josiah and then poured him a glass of water.“You’re like my grandfather, Grandpa. How could I forget you? I haven’t visited the Tanner residence because I was upset that Soph had been banished to Horington.”Well, I was still young five years ago and had no power to help Sophie.“Forget it, it’s all in the past now. Soph turned out just as well in Horington.”“That is true. Sophie excels wherever she goes.”As Cecelia had a program to shoot that night, her agent came and picked her up.Sophie and Tristan were still in the ward. The former began a conversation with Josiah.Yale arrived at the hospital later that night and frowned upon seeing Tristan who was standing next to Sophie.“Who is he?”The sales of Transfix Cosmetics must be doing well, given its current state.He never believed Sophie was capable
