Pursuing Her

Chapter 253

Stunning “Mr. Tristan, you’re simply replying to a WhatsApp message. Do you really need to hide from us?” Felix teased. Tristan ignored him and simply left the conference room. Felix couldn’t resist commenting, “I would never have imagined that this is how the great Mr. Tristan will be when he’s in love.” Charles said, “All right, stop messing with him. You’re only asking for a beating. It’s only natural that he cares about an incredible woman like Sophie.” Sean continued working. He had nothing to add to that conversation. Tristan made his way to the floor-to-ceiling window and fished his phone out of his pocket.

He stared at the photo for a while before giving Sophie a video call. He had always known that Sophie was especially stunning, but he didn’t expect her to be that attractive in a gown. Sophie was about to eat when she received Tristan’s call. She glared at Muriel, who didn’t even know what was going on. “What’s up with you, Sophie? You finally came back, and you’re already glaring at me. Did I do something wrong?” I’ve been working my butt off for you, so can you stop being so mean? Sophie simply couldn’t be nice when she thought about what Muriel had done. This is all her fault, and I can’t believe she doesn’t even know her mistakes. “I have to use the restroom,” Sophie said, then got up and left. Muriel left her fork in her mouth. Her eyes shone with sadness as she watched Sophie leave. Did I really do something unforgivable? Is it really that bad? Sophie walked out before she picked up Tristan’s call.

Despite those thoughts, Sophie couldn’t bring herself to turn him down when she saw the expectant look in his eyes. “All right. I have to go now, so I’m hanging up.” “Be careful out there, okay?” “I will.” Sophie understood that Tristan was worried about her, so she

mad at her. As expected, a man showed up with a briefcase while they were eating. Muriel switched on her phone and showed Sophie the photo of the man. “See that? This is the drug lord who is wanted globally. He doesn’t look

That way, we can split the hundred million between us.” The mere thought of having all that money to spend made Muriel feel excited. She had her eyes on so many gowns, and she was determined to bring all of them home with her. Realization dawned

couldn’t? Muriel reached out and held Sophie’s hand. “Sophie, this guy is an international sensation. If you can catch him, your reputation will soar to greater heights. By then, many people will come and butter us up. Man, I can already imagine how amazing that feeling would be.” “Sorry, but I am not interested,” replied Sophie. I have no use for a great reputation, anyway. “Don’t you want to be like Phantom and have everyone worship you?” “Not at all.” Fame was a lifetime burden for many, and Sophie didn’t want to be one of them. The

heart pumping with excitement?” As far as Muriel was concerned, Sophie was a mystery. Right then, Eustace and his team showed up. Sophie did not expect to run into them here.
