Pursuing Her

Chapter 220

She Is Mesmerized “What’s wrong? Can’t I do that? Are you afraid I’ll steal your company’s secrets?” Sophie teased. I bet the biggest fear of a company like Lombard Group is having someone steal their secrets. Tristan could not help but laugh. “That’s not it. I wasn’t expecting you to be taking the initiative. You’re more than welcome to take the company’s secrets whenever you want them.”

My entire being belongs to her, let alone a mere Lombard Group. “I’m just joking.” Sophie was about to enter the lounge when Tristan grabbed her hand. “Come into my office and keep me company. You can use the time to get to know me better.” Tristan pulled her back to his side, wrapped his arm around her shoulders, and led her into the office. “Oh, my goodness. Mr. Tristan is finally seen with a woman! I’ve always thought he was not interested in women.” “So many ladies have approached him. Yet, only this lady who’s way younger than him caught his eye.” “It’s true when people say men like women who are younger than them.” “That’s enough. Be quiet, everyone. You’ve got quite the balls to gossip about Mr. Tristan, eh?” scolded the head secretary, Daphne Castillo. Daphne knew Tristan’s temper better than anyone, for she had been serving the latter for a long time. Hearing that, the secretaries immediately stopped talking. Truth was, they only dared to say all that behind Tristan’s back. They would never dare to let Tristan hear about it. “Leon, prepare some desserts for Ms.

the slightest mistake.” It had not been easy for Tristan to be interested in a woman. Therefore, they could not afford to make any mistakes. “Got it,” the secretaries responded obediently and immediately dispersed to carry out their tasks. It did not take long for Tristan’s office to be filled with fruits and snacks that ladies typically liked. “Ms. Tanner, feel free to ask for us anytime if there’s anything you need,” said Daphne to Sophie with a grin. This young lady is really pretty. No wonder she succeeded in capturing Mr. Tristan’s heart. “All

has many fans if she were to make her debut.” “Ah… I think I’m quite pretty, too. I’m just not as lucky as her,” said one of the secretaries. The other secretaries gawked at her, baffled. “Sure, you’re pretty. But do you have the guts to call yourself a beauty in front of Ms. Tanner?” That secretary fell silent. What nonsense are they spouting? “Hmph. I give up talking to you guys. What’s the point of making myself hurt?” Sophie scanned the scrumptious food on the coffee table, unable to register what was going on. What do they take me for? A pig? Tristan poked a piece of fruit with a fork and placed it in her hand. “Here. Have some! Don’t let their kind efforts go to waste.” They prepared all this out of concern for her, anyway. “Mr. Tristan, do I look like someone who’s been starving for many years?” Sophie asked. This

sat on the couch and dug in with her. Meanwhile, Sophie leaned against the couch, took out her phone, and started playing a game. “You should go get busy,” Sophie prompted, preparing to play her game quietly. She would never try to attract his attention there. “I really don’t feel like working.” Tristan sighed. He finally understood why the kings in ancient times did not want to go to court in the morning. Didn’t he say he’ll work faster with me here? At that thought, Sophie cleared her throat and said, “Mr. Tristan, if my presence is affecting your work, then it’s best if I go home.” “No, no! Sit here. I’ll
