Pursuing Her

Chapter 140 Battle On The Stage

“Not at all. It’s obvious to me that you’re overthinking it. How can you rank last?” Sophie said.

“I hope I am overthinking it. You look beautiful today,” Tristan complimented.

The topic changed so fast that her throat and lips suddenly went dry, especially when she was being stared at so intently by a handsome man.

She licked her lips. “Mr. Tristan—”

Before she could finish her sentence, she was pulled into his embrace. Once he caught her in his embrace, he lowered his head and kissed her on the lips. “No matter what you wear, you’ll always look alluring to me.”

So is he blaming me for his behavior? Sophie was speechless.

“Ysabelle had something to take care of, so she can’t accompany you to the premiere, but I can.” It was pretty clear he wasn’t going to take no for an answer.

The premiere was about to start. However, the person Cecelia was waiting for still hadn’t arrived, which put a frown on her face.

Her manager didn’t know how to comfort her seeing her like that. “Maybe Ms. Tanner has something to take care of, Cecelia. The premiere is about to start. We should go!”

Everyone was waiting for Cecelia, so it wouldn’t be ideal if she just waited there.

“No,” Cecelia replied stubbornly.

Her manager sighed resignedly. It was then the door to the lounge was opened and Sophie showed up.

When Cecelia saw her friend show up in the dress she prepared, her eyes sparkled with joy.

“You finally came, Soph! I thought you were going to stand me up again.” She stared at Sophie aggrievedly, like a pitiful puppy.

The manager felt too embarrassed to watch. After staying by Cecelia’s side for many years, she knew her temperament, and it wasn’t anything good.
