Pursuing Her

Chapter 254

A Chance Encounter “Go on, Captain Sheppard. Good luck. You can do it. I have faith in you.” Sophie is so beautiful that anyone, even someone as stoic as Captain Sheppard, will fall for her. Eustace rolled his eyes at Danny. How have I never noticed what a gossip this guy is? Immediately, Danny left to look for his colleagues. No matter what, he was still on duty. He had to put everything aside and focus on his job. Eustace made his way to Sophie’s table and, like a gentleman, asked, “Can I take this seat?” Muriel noticed Eustace as soon as he walked into the restaurant because the aura he exuded differed from others. He was the kind of man who was hard to ignore. But remembering that Sophie was not into men, Muriel was about to reject Eustace when she saw Sophie nod. “Huh? You guys know each other?” Muriel’s curiosity was piqued. Sophie gave Muriel a look.

“This is Eustace.” “Wait. Eustace?” What is going on between Sophie and this Eustace guy? She just asked me to do a favor for him, and now he’s here. Is there something between the two of them? “Have we met before?” asked Eustace. He knew Sophie but had zero recollection of the other woman sitting there. “No, not at all.” Hmm… Sophie doesn’t look as though she’s in love with the guy, though. Gah, never mind. I’ll ask her about this later after we get home. For now, I’ll just help Sophie watch her back since this guy is a stranger to me. “What a coincidence. I didn’t think I’d run into you here.” Sophie had been showing up at the most crucial time. Eustace didn’t believe that everything was just a coincidence. He wondered if Sophie, who was an expert in defusing bombs, had anything to do with the man they were apprehending that day. Eustace had always been someone who kept his cards close to his chest. Despite his suspicions, he didn’t show it on his face. Unfortunately, Sophie wasn’t an average girl. The slightest glance from Eustace was enough for her to decipher what he was thinking. However, she didn’t think it was necessary for her to explain herself to Eustace. After all, he was no better than a stranger to her. “Are you done eating?” Sophie asked. Muriel nodded right away. “I’m done. Let’s go.” Before leaving, she glanced at Eustace a few times.

as they left the restaurant, Muriel grabbed Sophie’s hand and started bombarding her with questions. “Be honest with me, Sophie. What is your relationship with that Eustace guy?” “What do you think?” asked Sophie lazily. “Okay, to be honest, I think he looks kinda scary. And I suppose he’s not really your type?” “Oh? Then tell me, what exactly is my type?” Sophie didn’t know the answer to that question herself, so she was genuinely curious when she heard what Muriel said. “I don’t really know how to describe it, but my gut tells me he’s not your type.” Sophie looked at Eustace as though he were a stranger to her. Well, maybe he is a little more than

a hundred times stronger. What is there for her to be afraid of? “All right, that’s enough. I’m putting

She looked as though she was on the verge of tears as she spoke. Sophie couldn’t help rolling her eyes. “Muriel, I suddenly think you are better suited for acting.” “Okay, fine. I’ll drop it. My pitiful act doesn’t work against an extremely cruel woman like you, anyway.” The two of them returned to Muriel’s place after that. “Rest well and don’t think about anything else.” Muriel really is a handful sometimes. “Oh, don’t give me that look, and don’t
