Pursuing Her

“Everything will be fine with me here. You can count on me!” Sophie said confidently.

“Ms. Tanner, I know Mr. Tristan is your boyfriend, so you would like to compete to see who is the best. However, Lombard Group is good enough to be the standard in this industry. It's very difficult to reach his level!”

As a man, Victor couldn't help but be impressed with Tristan.

The man was a natural-born king. No matter what he did, he would succeed in everything.

After all, he had high expectations and excellent working capabilities.

Victor could never catch up to someone like him.

“What do you mean? Are you saying you don't even have the courage to compete? If that's the case, then I was wrong about you! Go on, leave! I'll look for someone else!”

She needed an assistant.

If Victor thought he couldn't do well, then he was welcome to leave.

“No, Ms. Tanner. That is not what I meant!” Victor was a little speechless. Does she think anyone can surpass Mr. Lombard? She has absolutely no idea how many people want to study him.

“Then follow my lead and work for me, or leave! The door is right in front of you.” She would never accept subordinates who worked just for the sake of working.

Victor knew Sophie was capable too.

However, he never knew that was her goal.

“Okay, I get it. Please be reassured. I'll do my best!” Since she trusts me, I shall not disappoint her!

“Good. I have sent the annual plan to your inbox. Go through this with the higher-ups. We'll discuss this in tomorrow's meeting.”

The reason she had come here was to deal with this issue.

“If there's nothing else, I'll be off, then.”

Sophie got up and left.

Victor saw her out.

The instant she left, Victor opened his inbox. As he went through the annual plan she sent him, his heart pumped in excitement and awe.

How can there be such a vast difference between people? She has yet to go to university! How did she even manage to produce a flawless annual plan like this?

Victor was thrilled. I think, this time, I'll be able to reach the top and catch a glimpse of the view. This feeling... I love it.

Victor immediately called his secretary.

“Inform all the senior executives to meet in the conference room. Everyone shall work overtime today!” Sophie had already done the annual plan herself, so he had to let everyone else have a look at it.

“Yes, Mr. White.”

The secretary's mood soured once she heard that they would have to work overtime later. However, she didn't dare comment because her job at Tanner Group paid very well.

Of course, this meant they had to do it no matter how tired they were. After all, no one wanted to lose their jobs.

Sophie went to Transfix Cosmetics right after she left Tanner Group.

She knew Wilma could manage Transfix Cosmetics well, but she still felt the need to drop by and check from time to time.

When Sophie arrived at Transfix Cosmetics, Wilma and her team were busy working. It was Wendy who noticed her first.

“Ms. Lineker, Ms. Sophie is here!”

True enough, when Wilma looked behind her, she saw the peerless beauty, Sophie Tanner, standing there. Instantly, she dropped whatever she was doing and went over.

“Ms. Sophie, what brings you here? Do you have any orders for us?” Wilma asked jokingly.

Sophie smiled too.

“Nah, I don't have any orders for you. It's just that it's been a while since I've seen your faces, so I popped in to see how you guys are doing. Are you having any problems with your work?”

Sophie still loved her time in Transfix Cosmetics.

After all, she was the one who made Transfix Cosmetics successful.

“Ms. Sophie, rest assured! Transfix Cosmetics is operating fine, everyone is doing their best, and our performance is getting better and better. Our salaries have gone up a lot as well! Everyone is still highly motivated.”

“Okay. When you're done with work, I'm buying everyone lunch!”

“Thank you, Ms. Sophie. Please get some rest in the office first. It's pretty warm here.” Wilma was worried Sophie would get a heatstroke.

“Oh, it's fine. I'll stay here and accompany everyone.”

Wilma was all smiles.

Ms. Sophie is really amiable and doesn't put on air at all. Even though she looks like a cold and aloof person, she's actually a warm-hearted person.

At noon, when Wilma and her team were done with work, Sophie brought them to a famous BBQ restaurant near them. The restaurant workers were surprised and excited.

The people from Transfix Cosmetics had fully booked their restaurant.

“Life is so much better under Ms. Sophie's guidance. Someone said this before, and she's absolutely right!”

“That's right! I can't even bring myself to eat here!” The food in this BBQ restaurant is expensive!

“All right, everybody. Be a little cultured while you're eating. Don't be crude,” Wilma teased.

After that, Wilma sat next to Sophie.

“Ms. Sophie, are there any improvements needed at Transfix Cosmetics?” The company was Wilma's priority.

“Ms. Lineker, you've done a great job.” Sophie was happy with her. “Honestly, your work is excellent, but you have to spend some time on yourself.”

Life is not all about work.

“Ms. Sophie, I don't want to date. I think what I'm doing now is just right for me.”

“Ms. Lineker, you don't have to worry about anything else. If you want to date, just do it. If you want to get married, go for it. And if you want to have children, take all the time you want. No matter when you come back, this position is still yours.”

She wouldn't have to worry about the workplace issues that any other working woman might have.

Wilma didn't say anything.
