On the way back, Sophie began to wonder if her impulsive action had exposed her. I hope I didn’t arouse his suspicion.

Nonetheless, she was relieved that he did not question her.

Upon returning to Wisteria Apartments, Sophie prepared a warm bath for Tristan.

“You should take a bath too. You must be exhausted since you’ve been working the whole day,” the man said in a deep, sensuous voice.

Sophie nodded.

“Okay,” the young girl responded. Unlike how she had behaved when operating the computer earlier, she now looked docile and lovely.

Upon seeing the adorable look on her face, Tristan walked over and gave her a gentle hug.

“Sophie, you’ve worked really hard today! I must say I’m impressed by your computer skills. Have you taken part in any hackathons before?”

“Nope. I just read a few books about computers because I’m interested in them!” Sophie replied with an innocent look. No one would suspect she was lying.

“That’s right. My dear Sophie is exceptionally brilliant. She could easily take a renowned hacker down by just reading a couple of books.”

Upon hearing that, Sophie expressed her dismay. “What do you mean? Why do I feel like you’re implying something? I just wanted to help since I noticed you were not feeling well. But if you don’t want me to interfere in Lombard Group’s matters, I’ll stay out of them.” It’s not a big deal, anyway!

Tristan immediately grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms. Oh, no, she misunderstood my words.

“That’s not what I meant. I was trying to commend you. What were you thinking? Did I not tell you I’ll believe you in everything you do?” I still meant what I said.

Sophie, too, realized she had overreacted.

Feeling embarrassed, she said, “Mr. Tristan, I only went with you today because I was worried about you.”

“I know and I’m touched.” Tristan knew she was worried about him.
