Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 802 Livid

Hearing Butterfly's voice, Sophie raised her brow. That's impressive of her! She managed to call me at this point in time.

“Are you really fine? Did Nicholas do anything to you?” asked Sophie with worry. Even though she knew Nicholas would do nothing to Butterfly for the time being, she could not help but worry.

Touching her face, Butterfly said, “He won't dare to do anything to me. Anyway, don't worry about me. I'm fine here. You don't have to bother about me.”

I was the one who insisted on coming here. It only serves me right for getting caught. Sophie doesn't need to risk her life for me.

“All right. Don't worry. Just stay there for now. Nicholas won't dare to do anything to you for the time being.”

“I know. I just wanted to tell you I'm fine.” Butterfly had spent a lot of time with Sophie. Naturally, she knew what the latter was like.

Now that Butterfly was captured by Nicholas, Sophie would definitely save her.

Butterfly felt extremely regretful for having caused Sophie so much trouble. Nonetheless, there was no changing the past.

“Give me the phone,” Nicholas said to Butterfly.

“All right. I'll be hanging up now. You really don't have to worry about me, okay? I'll find a way.”

Butterfly was somewhat capable after having been with Sophie for a long time.

“I know. Don't worry about it.”

Suddenly, Nicholas snatched the phone from her. At that moment, Butterfly wanted nothing more than to kill that man. How could he be so ungentlemanly? Can I not give him the phone if he wants it? Why does he need to snatch it from me?

“Sophie, I'm sure you know I have no other intentions. I just miss you. Please come to Anglandur so we can meet up,” said Nicholas. That was all he wanted.

Upon hearing his voice, Sophie hung up right away. There was no use talking to someone mentally ill.

When Nicholas heard the beep on the phone, he threw the phone out angrily. That d*mned woman! I just wanted to talk to her. Did she have to do that?

Meanwhile, Butterfly simply watched him in silence, not because she was afraid of him but rather because she knew it was not the right time to annoy him. The odds were against her, after all.

Richard, too, dared not say anything.

He knew Nicholas did not stand a chance against Sophie, and the latter could only let her treat him however she wanted.

As Nicholas' subordinates, they, too, had no choice but to take everything in silence.

Nicholas still felt upset after smashing the phone. Hence, he wrecked everything destructible in the dining room.

Butterfly glanced at Richard, who did not dare to say anything. He could only let Nicholas throw the things around until the latter was satisfied. After all, the Sable family was rich. They could just buy another set to replace the broken things.

In the meantime, Sophie was at the medical association. All the data for the new virus was out, and all that was left to do was combine them.

She handed the data to Arius and informed him, “I'll be busy for the next couple of days, so I'll leave the rest to you. This data is extremely important. Please take good care of it.”

No way! Are these people trying to work me to death? I'm already tired enough!

“Sophie, didn't you tell me to look for a girlfriend? How am I supposed to look for one when you guys keep exploiting me?” Arius complained. I'm not a robot! I need rest, too! It takes time and effort to compile the data into a final result.

“Didn't you say you didn't want to look for one? If that's the case, we won't force you,” said Sophie indifferently.

Arius was baffled.

“I need to rest. I've been too tired these days. Look at my dark circles!” said Arius while pointing under his eyes. “I don't care. The results are not an urgent matter, anyway. Let's do it together when you've finished your matters.”

I refuse to do this alone!

“Professor Gullifer, weren't you the one doing it before I arrived? What is this? Are you asking me to do it because you think I'm a pushover?” Sophie questioned expressionlessly.

“How could it be? Who's treating you as a pushover? I'd be thankful if you don't bully me,” Arius refuted. Who'd dare to bully this woman?

“Good that you know. Get the final results processed. I want to see it when I come back from Anglandur. If you're too busy, you can get Georgina to help you.”

Georgina was really eager to help him out.

“Forget it. I'd rather do it alone,” said Arius.

Georgina was a rather capable person, but she harbored romantic feelings for him. At first, Arius thought of giving her a go, but when he saw the expectant look in Georgina's eyes, he worried that he would disappoint her if he did not end up loving her. Thus, he decided to forget it.

She won't be disappointed if I don't give her hope in the first place. I should stop before any interaction starts. That's the best outcome.
