Chapter 88 The Grand Gesture
The helicopter hovered above Sophie and Cecelia as a rope ladder was dropped.
Sophie looked at Cecelia. “Can you manage?” she asked.
“Of course. I don’t get to be an award-winning actress if can’t even do my own stunts.”
Cecelia had also been practicing Taekwondo for several years.
Without saying another word, she grabbed hold of the rope ladder and ascended with some difficulty.
When she was nearing the top, somebody reached out for her hand and pulled her on board the helicopter.
Gazing up in dumbstruck awe, Cecelia could not find the words to describe Tristan’s overwhelming good looks.
He would be an A-list celebrity if he joined the entertainment industry.
However, Tristan did not even look at Cecelia.
Cecelia could not stop herself from being intrigued by him. This guy is pretty good for not many men can resist my beauty.
Below, Sophie climbed the rope ladder with ease.
Felix reached out with the intent of pulling Sophie on board.
“Step aside.”
Startled, Felix touched his nose at the sound of Tristan’s voice and stood aside.
Mr. Tristan’s possessiveness can be quite frightening!
Taking Tristan’s hand, Sophie hopped on board the helicopter easily.
The reporters below watched the helicopter depart with their jaws dropped.
The helicopter must be here for Cecelia! It is not unusual for an award-winning actress like her to have such vast resources at her disposal.
After recovering from their initial shock, their excitement began to grow.
With this scoop, our salary this month is going to swell several times over!
After several moments of silence within the helicopter, Cecelia glanced at Sophie and Tristan.
