Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 159 I Do Not Live Just To Please You

almost laughed at the sight because it reminded him of the past.“Come on, you’re making her feel intimidated. She’s only in her senior year!” Although Arius dissuaded the director, he knew in his heart that Sophie would be a renowned doctor if she set her heart on studying medicine, but despite how much potential Sophie had, Arius still thought the man was being too pushy.He would only scare her away.The director pursed his lips and cleared his throat uneasily.He’s right. I sound too desperate.“What about this?” the director asked after a slight pause. “Come again tomorrow and we will talk about this after your grandpa’s surgery. Is that okay?”Arius was left speechless. You still seem too desperate. Her grandfather has major surgery tomorrow and you’re talking about sending her to study. This is ridiculous. You’re only interested in getting her to work for you.“Well… I’m really tired after this whole day. I think I could use some rest,” Sophie finally said.Indeed, Sophie was spent. Although she was skilled, she was still inexperienced. Besides, she did not manage to have a good night’s rest before the surgery, so it went without saying that she was exhausted.Arius felt bad for her seeing how worn out she was.Being a doctor, especially a surgeon, was a taxing job.

That was what Barney wanted. Despite how good Arius was, he would only remain a mentee to Barney. The latter never once thought of making Arius his successor, but it was a different case for Sophie.Barney wanted to make her his successor.With that said, Arius stamped out the last shred of hope the director had.“Fine…” he sighed. He would have tried his best if it were someone else, but he knew he stood no chance in that case.It was the founder of the medical association he had to compete with. Anyone within the medical field would know they should back off.“There’s no need to be disappointed. I’ll introduce you to a few good doctors,” Arius promised.It was because of the director that Arius came to meet his mentor, so
