Sophie made her way straight to Tristan’s office, finding him still buried in paperwork.

He had been falling behind on work these days.

“How much longer do you need?” she asked, wrapping her arms around him from behind.

“Just half an hour, tops,” he replied.

“It’s all right. I don’t have anything to do tonight, so take your time. Do you need me to help?” Sophie offered to assist with the work, knowing she was more than capable to peruse the documents.

“No need. You’ve been working all afternoon at Tanner Group. You must be exhausted. Just wait for me over there,” he said, gesturing toward the seating area.

Sophie wasn’t having it. “No way. I want to stay here with you,” she insisted, behaving willfully, which was a rare sight.

Tristan had never seen this side of her before and found it intriguing.

“But your leg has just recovered. It’s best that you don’t stand around for too long,” he reminded her, concerned for her health.

“Then I’ll wait for you over there,” Sophie conceded, making her way toward the seating area as she didn’t want to worry him too much.

As she settled in, her phone rang. She frowned when she saw it was Charles, for it was unusual for him to call since they were merely acquaintances.

“What is it?” she answered, getting straight to the point.

“Sophie, I’ve never asked for anything from you before, but now, I need a favor,” Charles said urgently.

Although Charles was often unreliable, Sophie knew that as Tristan’s assistant and the second son of the Quigley family, he wouldn’t beg for help unless something serious had happened.

“Just tell me what it is,” she replied. They were friends, after all, and Sophie was in a relationship with Tristan, so she wanted to do what she could to help.
