Pursuing Her

Chapter 250

Smacking Jack With A Fly Swatter All of them left the train station together. When Danny noticed that Sophie was about to leave without showing the slightest inclination to have lunch with them, he promptly rushed over to her. Captain Sheppard indeed has no problems solving cases, but he totally flopped in pursuing a lady! He’s spent over two hours in her presence, yet he didn’t even manage to ask her out for a meal. Well, it looks like he needs me to lend him a hand!

Sophie eyed the man who was blocking her path, having no idea about his intentions. At once, Danny flashed her a bright smile. “Sophie, we’re considered friends, right? Look, it’s lunchtime now, so why don’t you have lunch with us all? Don’t decline! I know you’ve got something important to do, but no matter how important it is, you’ve still got to eat, no?” Look how glib I am! That aside, I’ve got reason backing me up. Just as he was certain that she wouldn’t turn him down, Sophie shook her head. “I’m sorry, but I’ve got a date with someone else, so I’ll pass this time.” Moreover, I’ve only helped them out a couple of times, so I’m really not that close with them. Danny wanted to convince her further, but Eustace held him back. “A car is coming to pick us up. Where are you going? We’ll give you a lift,” Eustace offered. Danny was wholly flabbergasted. Good Lord! It turned out that the long speech I delivered earlier was of no use at all! Captain Sheppard is too dense!

We should get down to business.” They were there on official duty, not on vacation. “Fine, then.” I’m not the one pursuing her, so it isn’t going to do any good even if I’m frantic on his behalf. In the meantime, Sophie had the taxi drop her off at her previous residence. Her lease hadn’t

serving the pasta. Instead, he swiftly retreated to the kitchen. Sophie took a fork from the cutlery container and got ready to eat. “I’m talking to you, Sophie Tanner! Do you not hear me? Why, weren’t you arrogant in the past? What’s with the sudden cowardice? Well, that doesn’t matter. I won’t blame you even if you’ve lost your courage. As long as you crawl between my legs, I’ll forget everything that happened in the past.” Jack had been resentful ever since she transferred schools. He

are really affecting my appetite badly by being here! Sophie had been missing the pasta there since she left Horington and especially went there when she returned this time. Alas, she bumped into a group of idiots, ruining her mood for pasta. “What did you just say? Guys, was I hearing things? What did she say earlier?” Jack wore an incredulous expression. “D*mn it! How impertinent! Jack showed you mercy, but since you’re ungrateful, we don’t need to be courteous with you anymore.” One of the ruffians stalked forward. They weren’t acquainted with Sophie and had no idea how terrifying she was. Finding his hand utterly annoying, Sophie picked up a fork nonchalantly and stabbed it right into his palm.
