“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.”
