“Okay. Let me know if you need help!” Seeing Simon was hesitant to talk about it, Sophie did not probe further. She left first after finishing lunch as there were matters to be settled at Tanner Group.

It would take Sophie considerable time to walk out of the university because the campus was huge. Hence, she decided to save time by using a mobile app to rent a bicycle and cycle her way out.

She had not even reached the school gate when Tristan’s call came. Thus, she stopped cycling and answered the phone while propping the tip of her foot on the ground.

“Have you eaten?” A deep magnetic male voice traveled from the other end of the line. Sophie’s lips curled into a subconscious smile when she heard the voice.

“Yup. I just had lunch with Sandra and the rest. How about you? Have you eaten? You haven’t returned to Lombard Group for a while. You must be busy with work today, right?”

Given Lombard Group’s vast extent of operations, there were several matters to attend to daily. Although Sean had been helping to fill Tristan’s shoes during his absence, a tremendous backlog awaited his clearance.

He must be exhausted now! Sophie could not help but worry.

“I’m fine. You know Sean. He’s capable, and he managed to handle most of the matters.”

However, a few major development projects needed Tristan’s decision. Hence, he was engaged in meetings the whole morning and had no time to check on Sophie.

“Remember what Arius said to you. You’ve just recovered, so you should watch your diet.” Tristan had specially called to remind her since they were both busy, and he could not stay by her side all the time.

“I know. Don’t worry about me.”

“Okay. Are you heading to Tanner Group right now? I’ll get the driver to send you there.” The weather was cold now that Christmas was around the corner. Tristan was worried that Sophie would have difficulty hailing a taxi in this weather and catch a cold in the process.

“It’s fine. I’d rather hail a taxi than wait an hour outside for your driver.” She would feel warm once she got into the taxi.

I have some meetings to attend in the afternoon. Come over to meet me if you finish everything early. We’ll go back together.” Tristan reckoned that he would not be able to fetch her that
