Pursuing Her

Chapter 67 The Burn

The company Yale got was Tanner Group’s most profitable one.

If everything went well for him, he would not even have to do anything, and the company would still make the most profit.

Did he seriously think no one would notice? Is it so hard for him to just admit his incompetence? Sophie was unsure how to feel about her father.

“What are you looking at, Soph? Come on. Let’s go eat,” Ysabelle urged Sophie to go.

“You probably don’t have much money left after you got me that gift. So from today onward, I’ll pay for all your food.” Ysabelle really liked the rock Sophie got for her. She could not bear the thought of the young woman skipping meals.

“Sure!” Sophie was more than willing to let her friend take care of her meals.

“What do you want to eat?” Ysabelle had always had trouble deciding where to go for food.

“Let’s have spaghetti! It’s been a while.”

“Sure. Let’s go.”

There was a restaurant famous for its spaghetti just less than a mile east of Jipsdale Premier High. Many, including the students of the high school, patronized the establishment regularly.

Naturally, the place was almost full when Sophie and Ysabelle arrived there.

“Hurry, Soph! I just saw two empty seats!” Ysabelle pulled Sophie to an empty table, and the two ordered spaghetti after sitting down.

“Hi there. I’m Bailey Dixon from Senior Class 1,” greeted the boy seated across from the young ladies as soon as they settled down.

Because of how tall Bailey was, he did not seem comfortable with his table and chair.

The young man had a pair of clear but cold eyes that made him seem somewhat distant.

“So you’re Bailey! I’m Ysabelle, and this is my best friend, Sophie,” Ysabelle gladly introduced herself and Sophie to Bailey. Now I know why he’s the campus hunk. What a handsome face!

“What the heck? I’m only here because Bailey is!”

“Me too! We’re in the same class. I don’t understand why he’s talking to those two from Senior Class 8 instead of me.”

“I can’t believe he just introduced himself to them.”
