Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 141 Grateful

I’m very thankful for her,” Cecelia answered.“A friend? Are you two really just friends? What kind of friend would single-handedly book ten thousand showings for your movie? This is unprecedented!”“The best kind of friends, the type who stays with me forever.”Cecelia smiled. I really like Sophie, but I don’t want her to spend so much money. I just want her to attend the movie premiere. The current me no longer needs her protection as I’m capable of taking care of things now. In fact, I want it to be my turn to protect her and help her. Still, I’m very touched that she’s still looking out for me even now. I’m very fortunate to have a friend like her.“Is your friend present in this hall right now, Ms. Lance? Can you invite her up the stage so she can share a few words with us?” the host asked.“I don’t think that’s a good idea. She’s someone who prefers to keep a low profile. So, please, I’m asking everyone here to not bother her or try to dig out any information about her. However, I believe even if all the hackers in the world were to come out and try to find information about her, it’s no guarantee that they’ll succeed.” Cecelia was absolutely confident in Sophie’s ability.“Come on, Ms. Lance. We won’t disturb her. We just want to ask her a few questions.”“I appreciate your care for me, but today’s focus should be on the movie, no? I hope everyone will pay attention to the film because a lot of people worked hard on it, and I don’t want their efforts to go unnoticed. Everyone knows the people who work the hardest on a movie are the crew, so please don’t overlook the hard work they had poured into this project.”Tristan personally witnessed Sophie booking ten thousand showings for Cecelia and posting her message on Twitter. Seems like she cares a lot about Cecelia since she’s doing her best to help her.What followed in the press conference were questions about Cecelia. Finally, it was time for everyone to watch the movie on the big screen. Sophie paid great attention to it.The story in the movie was really similar to their youth.When the movie ended, Sophie was in tears. Tristan pulled out a tissue paper from his pocket and gave it to her.“This movie is pretty good. Cecelia sure can act,” he commented.The ending theme was already playing. It was a very pleasant Chanaean song sung by a diva. Before it finished, Sophie stood and left the hall.When Sophie returned to the lounge, Cecelia threw herself into her embrace.She was basically hanging on Sophie’s body.Her manager couldn’t bear to look at that. Ms. Tanner appears to be a few kilos lighter than Cecelia. Doesn’t she feel bad for hanging herself like a bear on Ms. Tanner?“Since you’re so rich now, how about I stop acting and become your sugar baby instead? We’ll go on a trip around the world!” Cecelia said emotionally.Aside from Sophie, no one would be willing to book ten thousand showings for her.When she finished speaking, she kissed Sophie on the cheek.Tristan’s expression was just like a violent storm when he saw that.Upon seeing his expression, Sophie thought it was amusing. This man sure is possessive.In order to avoid pissing him off further, she gently pushed Cecelia away. “That was a very good movie.”“Well, of course! My title isn’t for show, you know.” Cecelia was very confident in her acting skills.Some actors worked hard, but because they didn’t have the talent, they couldn’t make a name.On the contrary, some actors had the talent, and if they worked hard just a little bit, they would be able to back various international awards home.Cecelia clearly belonged to the second type.She wanted to hug Sophie again. “I really like acting, but it takes up so much of my time that I can’t spend time with you, Soph.”When Sophie was at her lowest point in life back then, Cecelia went to Horington to visit her. However, before she could meet her, she was dragged away by her manager.She carried a pang of guilt toward Sophie because of that.Sophie held her delicate chin and said, “You don’t need to feel guilty, Cecelia. I’m doing fine right now, and you’re perfect, too. This is the best achievement any of us can hope for.”Cecelia hugged Sophie tightly. “Yeah! I always believe that you’ll return. Jipsdale is your territory and Willow isn’t your opponent at all. That’s why I believe we’ll meet again in Jipsdale.”At that moment, Tristan felt like he should just let them be. I guess I’ll forgive Cecelia’s extreme behavior earlier, considering how close she is to Sophie.Sophie then went to the restroom,
