Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 133 We Need Your Talent

from the back seat to the front seat and grabbed the steering wheel.The driver was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped. This woman is too agile. How did she move so quickly from the backseat?“Calm down, young lady. It’s too dangerous for us to fight for control of the steering wheel,” said the driver whose voice had trembled.“I gave you a chance and told you to stop the car, but you refuse to listen to me, so I have to resort to doing things my way.”Constance didn’t expect Sophie to do something like that either.The latter moved so quickly before anyone could react.“Stop the car, you lunatic.” Both Constance and the driver were so angry that they were shaking.The car stopped short, and Sophie opened the door before hopping right out.“Don’t bother coming for me again. I will not go to him.”She didn’t like any member of the Laird family.After slamming the door mercilessly, she walked on the sidewalk. That was when her phone rang.“Where are you now?” asked Tristan. His low and masculine voice came from the other end of the line.“What’s wrong? Did Ysabelle call you? I’m okay,” replied Sophie. Ysabelle must’ve been scared mindless after witnessing something like that.“Just tell me where you are now.”Sophie sent her GPS location to him, then sat on a bench to wait for Tristan.He showed up three minutes later in his car.All he saw was her sitting quietly on the bench. She was still wearing her uniform and was playing a game on her phone while having her earphones on.When he saw her sitting safely there, his thumping heart finally settled down. Everything was right with the world again.He slowly made his way to her and sat beside her.Sophie tilted her head up to look at him when she sensed his presence.“Don’t you have to work today? I can handle minor issues like these, so there really is no need for you to come here for me.”Tristan pulled her and made her rest her head on his shoulder.“There is no such thing as a minor issue when the matter involves you. The lady of the Laird family is famous for being cruel, so I was worried.”Sophie was speechless.She didn’t think she would live to see the day she heard the merciless Mr. Tristan describing someone else as cruel…A man in a jacket was with a young lady, who was still wearing her school uniform.Anyone who saw the two of them sitting together and being close like that would misread the situation.Sophie truly was tired, so she closed her eyes as she rested on his shoulder.The soothing music drifted into her ears. She would lose control of her emotions when she was annoyed, so she needed to listen to some music to calm her nerves.The two of them ended up staying there for about thirty minutes until Sophie was hungry and opened her eyes.“I haven’t eaten yet, so as a thank you, I will treat you to a meal,” offered Sophie as she sat up.Just then, her phone rang once more.She picked the call up as soon as she read the caller ID.“Sophie, it’s me. I’m back,” said Arius. His voice was relaxed but seemed to be brimming with sincerity as well.“Where are you now?” Sophie had been waiting for Arius to get in touch with her ever since they exchanged contact details. She was surprised to learn that he was back so soon, though.“I’m at Cloud Nine Hotel. Come over now. I haven’t had my lunch yet.”Arius never told her when he’d be back because he wanted to surprise her.“Okay, I’ll head over right away.” The matter regarding her grandfather bothered her, so Sophie needed to deal with it as soon as possible.“Great.”Arius took off his shirt, and his eight packs revealed themselves. He went into the showers because he wanted to see her at his best.After Sophie hung up the call, she realized that Tristan was still waiting for her. She had just invited him to a meal, but it seemed that was no longer possible.“I’m sorry, Tristan, but I have something important to deal with, so I can’t have lunch with you today.”“Are you meeting someone? Can I tag along?”He overheard bits and pieces of the conversation, so he knew that a guy asked Sophie to have lunch together.Sophie seemed troubled when she looked at him. In the end, she shook her head.“My friend is a little
