Ysabelle immediately stood up when she saw people coming out of the conference room.

However, there was no sight of Sophie.

“Oh dear, I hope she’s all right. I must admit the problem at hand is rather tricky. If she can’t settle it, I can always ask Uncle Tristan for help.” Worrying about Sophie, Ysabelle unknowingly babbled on and forgot that Mark was behind her.

Turning around and seeing Mark’s emotionless face, she became a little embarrassed.

“Mark, I didn’t mean anything else by that. It’s just…” Ysabelle tried to explain herself but was stuck for words.

How should I say it? It just sounds wrong no matter how I put it!

“It’s fine. You don’t need to explain anything to me.” Mark’s response was brief. His attitude toward people had always been aloof since he did not see the need to connect with them. Sophie was an exception.

Sophie spotted Mark as she exited the conference room.

He should know about it, right? Well, given his astuteness, it’s very likely that he must have sensed something was amiss.

Sophie approached Mark.

Before she could say anything, Mark consoled her, “Sophie, if this is too tough, just let it go. It’s our dream so we will work on it ourselves. There’s no need for you to suffer for us.”

“Mark, I’m also a part of The Wheelers, all right? Moreover, since TS Entertainment is my company and now that the band is managed by us, how can I just leave you all in the lurch? Unless you don’t trust me to be able to handle this matter?”

Mark never thought of it that way. It was not that he did not trust her; he was worried that she would be hurt fighting alone.

“I just don’t want any one of us to cause you to have a difficult time,” Mark said concerningly.

Sophie laughed. “Don’t worry! Nobody can hurt me. The pitiful one will be Clayton.” Sophie would not let anybody who dared to touch her people off easily.

“Well, you better go back now. They’ll start to be suspicious if you’re gone for too long. Don’t let any of the members feel burdened.” Sophie did not want Mark to think too much and thus quickly ended the conversation.
