Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 111 Loved By Everyone

at investigation, but his skills were rendered useless before Sophie.“Right. There’s no way you get to encounter those internationally renowned mercenaries.”“If there’s nothing else, I shall go back to class now.”After Sophie got out of his car, Eustace gave her a bag.Sophie didn’t take it from him.“What is this?”“I bought some breakfast for you.” He had visited The Crown early in the morning to buy breakfast for her.Sophie glanced at her bun that was no longer piping hot and accepted the bag from him.“Thanks!”The first self-study session was about to end by the time Sophie returned to the classroom.Aaron told her to return to her desk without asking any questions.Once the session ended, a girl ran to Sophie.“Sophie, who was that hunk at the gate this morning? What is his name? Do you have his phone number?”Sophie’s brows snapped together impatiently.“No comment.”Eustace’s job was pretty sensitive, so there was no way she’d divulge his information to her classmates.The girl lost her cool and demanded, “Sophie, why are you so arrogant? So what if you’re prettier than us? You seduce every man you come across. Don’t you think you’re disgusting?”“Yeah, how disgusting. What a b*tch.”Bailey had just arrived at Senior Class 8 to talk to Sophie when he heard the girls insult her.“Shut up!”There was a hint of fury in his voice.Bailey had always behaved like Prince Charming who came straight out of a fairy tale, so the girls had never heard him talk that way.“Bailey, you—”“If I hear anyone speak badly about Sophie again, don’t blame me for taking action,” Bailey warned.It didn’t matter what others said. He only believed what he saw.Ysabelle was already fuming aside, but Bailey had stood up for Sophie before she could say anything.“Bailey, have you fallen in love with Sophie?”Many girls had a crush on Bailey. They were filled with resentment toward a common enemy after seeing Bailey defend Sophie.“Who I like is none of your business.” Bailey refused to spill anything.Seeing his reaction, the girls fell silent and glared at Sophie.Sophie gave the breakfast Eustace bought to Ysabelle.“Breakfast from The Crown? Who gave this to you?”“Eustace.”“Oh.”Ysabelle had had breakfast this morning, but she still ate some as it was from The Crown.“Sophie, I ran into a problem in my physics experiment and failed to solve it. Could you help me out?” Bailey piped up.Sophie nodded and followed him to the physics lab.The girls fumed at the sight of them leaving together.“Am I going to get my heart broken even before I start dating him?”“Has Bailey fallen in love with Sophie? What a seductress!”“Shut up! It was Bailey who came to Soph! Soph is loved by many. Are you jealous of her?” Ysabelle retorted as she chomped on her breakfast.“Ysabelle, stop acting all high and mighty! Sophie only spends time with you because you’re uglier than her!”Ysabelle might be pretty, but she wasn’t as pretty as Sophie.Ysabelle snorted. “Sowing discord, huh? Do you think it’s that easy to sow discord between me and Sophie? Dream on!”She ignored them.After all, Sophie was her best friend, and she knew Sophie well.Sophie and Bailey arrived at the physics lab so she could help him check his experiment out.Sophie immediately realized what was wrong after he showed her the steps once.Bailey watched as Sophie carried out the experiment again. His favorable impression of Sophie grew even more.“That’s it.” Sophie completed the experiment and sat down.“Let me try.”
