Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

“Who are you? And why did you strip down to your birthday suit in my boyfriend's office? What are you trying to do? Shouldn't you be explaining yourself to me?”

Tristan grasped Sophie's hand.

He had also never expected the woman to undress in his office without warning. She wore a strapless dress without any lingerie underneath, so she was in the buff in the blink of an eye.

Fortunately, Tristan had already screwed his eyes shut when she did that. As such, he could matter-of-factly say that he didn't see anything.

“Trust me, Sophie. I've got no idea why she'd do such a thing either,” he whined innocently. Verily, he knew nothing at all.

“Is she really your girlfriend, Mr. Tristan? I don't believe it.” The blond girl shook her head. All the while, she urged, “Open your eyes and look at me! Compare us and see which of us is more suited to you!”

At that, Sophie narrowed her eyes dangerously.

“Tristan, are you going to deal with this woman yourself, or shall I do it for you?” She turned his chair around so that he had his back to the woman.

Then, she uttered in an icy voice, “You may now open your eyes.”

Unbidden, panic flooded Tristan.

Although the matter hadn't much to do with him, he still couldn't help panicking.

“You can deal with it! You can handle it however you want!”

Opening his eyes and realizing that he was facing the painting behind his desk, he breathed a sigh of relief.

“How could you do this to me, Mr. Tristan? Weren't you the one who told me to do so? Would I dare to strip in your office without your permission?” the blond girl fibbed.

Never had Tristan expected her to be so audacious that she dared to fabricate such a lie.

“Why, do you know who I am? I'm a princess from Yartran. My grandmother is Queen Elizabeth! I'm the only one worthy of him in this whole world. Therefore, you'd better get lost now!” the blond girl, Elyssa, declared arrogantly.

“A princess from Yartran? So what?” Sophie arched a brow. Is that impressive?

Elyssa promptly blew a gasket.

“What do you mean by that? Are you looking down upon Yartran? Let me warn you that it wouldn't end well for you to anger me! Thus, you'd better get out of here now. Don't disrupt me and Mr. Tristan. Otherwise—”

“How old are you?” Sophie asked casually.

“That's none of your business! I told you to get out!” Elyssa was both furious and embarrassed. She was presently unclothed, yet she couldn't bring herself to pick up the dress on the ground and wear it. On top of that, Sophie was standing there without any signs of leaving.

“If your grandmother were to learn that her beloved granddaughter is so shameless, do you think she'd still adore you the same? Let's put it in a different way. If the citizens of Yartran were to learn that the princess of the royal family doesn't even have the slightest manners, would they still believe in the royal family?”

“How dare you!”

With just a few words from Sophie, Elyssa's face flushed bright red in rage.

“Don't you want to collaborate with Yartran anymore, Tristan? Let me warn you—kick this woman out right this instant! Otherwise—”

“Cut it out, princess! I don't even remember your name! How could I possibly like you?” Tristan was rendered speechless.

“You've gone overboard!”

Whipping out her phone, Sophie called the police.

“Hello, I'm calling from Lombard Group. Someone is trespassing. Please come over and do something about it.”

Anyone who dares seduce my man would have to pay the price, no matter what. So what if she's a princess from Yartran?

“How dare you!”

Elyssa was entirely stunned.

She actually dared to call the police right in front of me! What exactly is she trying to do?

“Do you know who I am? How dare you do this to me!”

“I've done exactly that. What can you do about it?”

Soon, the police arrived. Initially, they didn't quite believe someone would dare trespass on Lombard Group when they received the call.

However, they were all stumped upon seeing the unclothed woman.

Right then, Elyssa no longer dared to publicize her identity. As she said, Grandma would definitely fly into a fit of rage if she were to learn that I'd done such a shameful thing.

“Mr. Tristan...”

The few police officers were at a loss to deal with that matter.

“Yeah, she is trespassing. Take her away!”

“Miss, please put on your dress. It's unsightly for you to go out in such a state!” one of the policewomen stated bluntly.

At that moment, words eluded Elyssa.

“The dress is dirty, so I can't wear it anymore!”

“It doesn't matter if the dress is dirty. It's when the person is filthy that things get tricky.”

Are all foreigners this open? There are so many people here, yet she's still not putting on her dress?

In the end, Elyssa had no choice but to pick the dress up from the ground and put it back on.

“Just you wait. Heed my words—I'll never let you off the hook!” she threatened before leaving.

In response, Sophie shrugged.

“I'll be waiting, then,” she replied nonchalantly.
