Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 702

Chapter 702 Drink Together

“I'm serious, too. Don't worry. I can protect myself, I swear. This incident is purely an accident, and it won't happen again.”

There was nothing Mark could do to persuade her.

“You won't change your mind no matter what I say, right?”

Sophie kept quiet.

She wasn't fond of Mark behaving in that manner.

“Mark, I'm really fine,” she reiterated. It's just a minor injury. There's no need for everyone to be so worried.

“All right, then.”

Meanwhile, Tristan sat on the leather couch behind the desk in the study. The other three people either sat or stood around him. An unlit cigarette was placed in between Charles' lips.

“Mr. Tristan, Sophie isn't here, so why don't you let me take a few puffs?”

Charles had a severe smoking addiction. However, since they were in Tristan's territory, he didn't dare to light up the cigarette as Tristan forbade him from smoking.

Having said that, only the four of them were present in the study at that moment, so Charles wondered why he couldn’t smoke.

“It's better if you don't smoke. If you really wish to do so, I suggest you do it outside.”

Charles was stumped.

He didn't feel like conversing further with Tristan. Does he not realize the weather outside is freezing? I can't believe he's asking me to smoke outside.

“Mr. Tristan, I didn't know you are someone who puts your woman before your friends.” Rendered speechless, Charles could only sniff the scent of his cigarette to satiate his desire.

“That's enough. It's not like you'd die if you don't smoke. Mr. Tristan, I've been following up on the collaboration with Yartran, but you're also familiar with their queen's character. She's very shrewd, so it won't be easy for us to make money.”

As Tristan had been in Jetroina, Sean was tasked to handle the collaboration between Lombard Group and Yartran. Now that Tristan had returned, the task was naturally handed over to him.

“Okay. I got it. I'll make time to meet with her.”

Yartran's queen was indeed astute, so Tristan reckoned he would need to put more effort into dealing with her.

“By the way, Princess Elyssa has been looking for you,” said Sean, casually bringing up the matter. Elyssa was young, and the queen doted on her. Even after learning about the incident at Chanaea, the queen merely gave Elyssa a light punishment.

Tristan couldn't help but frown at the mention of Elyssa. She's nothing but huge trouble.

“That's all right. Sophie is not concerned about her.” Elyssa's existence wouldn't affect anyone or Lombard Group's cooperation with Yartran.

The quortet discussed some underlying problems reloted to thot colloborotion.


The trio hodn't been oble to resolve those issues, but Triston monoged to sort out those problems effortlessly in less thon on hour.

“Is there ony other complicotion? If there isn't, we should go downstoirs to hove our meol now.” It wos olreody dinnertime.

“Everything is settled on my end. Let's coll it o doy. If there ore ony other problems, we con discuss them on onother doy since you've returned.”

Mony people were woiting for them to hove dinner together downstoirs.

“Okoy. Thot's right. I'm hungry too.” Chorles only wished to finish his meol os soon os possible so thot he could leove thot ploce to puff on o cigorette.

“You guys moy go downstoirs first.”

Triston hod to moke onother phone coll.

“Okoy.”

Seon ond the other two went downstoirs. They noticed the others still surrounding Sophie upon descending the stoirs.

Seon couldn't help but feel jeolous when he took in thot hormonious scene. When con I experience this kind of bliss too?

Soroh hod finished preporing their dinner. When she noticed the trio, she exited the kitchen ond osked, “Where's Triston? Why isn't he coming down yet? It's time for dinner.”

It hod been o long time since she prepored such o plentiful meol.

She felt o little exhousted ofter cooking inside the kitchen for so long. Nevertheless, no motter how tired she might be, she wos delighted becouse of Sophie's return.

Seon onswered, “He's on the phone, but he'll be joining us soon.”

“Are you hungry olreody? Should we eot first?” Soroh didn't feel it would be oppropriote for so mony people to woit for Triston.

“It's oll right. Let's woit for him.” Triston ond Sophie finolly returned from Jetroino ofter much difficulty. Now thot everyone wos oble to gother together, noturolly, they should woit for everyone to be present before hoving their meol.

Triston wolked down the stoirs os they spoke.

“All right now. Let's hove dinner.”

Everyone went to the dining room ond took their seots, including Soroh.

“Soroh, thonks for everything todoy.” Sophie roised her wine gloss.

Seeing thot, Triston furrowed his brows. “Sophie, you con't drink wine. You're not ollowed to consume olcohol yet.”

“I'll just toke o few sips. It'll be fine.”

Triston continued weoring o frown.


The quartet discussed some underlying problems related to that collaboration.

The trio hadn't been able to resolve those issues, but Tristan managed to sort out those problems effortlessly in less than an hour.

“Is there any other complication? If there isn't, we should go downstairs to have our meal now.” It was already dinnertime.

“Everything is settled on my end. Let's call it a day. If there are any other problems, we can discuss them on another day since you've returned.”

Many people were waiting for them to have dinner together downstairs.

“Okay. That's right. I'm hungry too.” Charles only wished to finish his meal as soon as possible so that he could leave that place to puff on a cigarette.

“You guys may go downstairs first.”

Tristan had to make another phone call.

“Okay.”

Sean and the other two went downstairs. They noticed the others still surrounding Sophie upon descending the stairs.

Sean couldn't help but feel jealous when he took in that harmonious scene. When can I experience this kind of bliss too?

Sarah had finished preparing their dinner. When she noticed the trio, she exited the kitchen and asked, “Where's Tristan? Why isn't he coming down yet? It's time for dinner.”

It had been a long time since she prepared such a plentiful meal.

She felt a little exhausted after cooking inside the kitchen for so long. Nevertheless, no matter how tired she might be, she was delighted because of Sophie's return.

Sean answered, “He's on the phone, but he'll be joining us soon.”

“Are you hungry already? Should we eat first?” Sarah didn't feel it would be appropriate for so many people to wait for Tristan.

“It's all right. Let's wait for him.” Tristan and Sophie finally returned from Jetroina after much difficulty. Now that everyone was able to gather together, naturally, they should wait for everyone to be present before having their meal.
