Changing Only For Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 140

 

Chapter 140 Battle On The Stage

“Not at all. It’s obvious to me that you’re overthinking it. How can you rank last?” Sophie said.

“I hope I am overthinking it. You look beautiful today,” Tristan complimented.

The topic changed so fast that her throat and lips suddenly went dry, especially when she was being stared at so intently by a handsome man.

She licked her lips. “Mr. Tristan—”

Before she could finish her sentence, she was pulled into his embrace. Once he caught her in his embrace, he lowered his head and kissed her on the lips. “No matter what you wear, you’ll always look alluring to me.”

So is he blaming me for his behavior? Sophie was speechless.

“Ysabelle had something to take care of, so she can’t accompany you to the premiere, but I can.” It was pretty clear he wasn’t going to take no for an answer.

The premiere was about to start. However, the person Cecelia was waiting for still hadn’t arrived, which put a frown on her face.

Her manager didn’t know how to comfort her seeing her like that. “Maybe Ms. Tanner has something to take care of, Cecelia. The premiere is about to start. We should go!”

Everyone was waiting for Cecelia, so it wouldn’t be ideal if she just waited there.

“No,” Cecelia replied stubbornly.

Her manager sighed resignedly. It was then the door to the lounge was opened and Sophie showed up.

When Cecelia saw her friend show up in the dress she prepared, her eyes sparkled with joy.

“You finally came, Soph! I thought you were going to stand me up again.” She stared at Sophie aggrievedly, like a pitiful puppy.

The manager felt too embarrassed to watch. After staying by Cecelia’s side for many years, she knew her temperament, and it wasn’t anything good.

Yet, when Sophie showed up, Cecelia would act like a pitiful puppy.

“I have promised you that I will be here, so here I am. Last time was an accident,” Sophie replied. Can she stop acting pitiful like that?

Cecelia immediately hugged her friend’s neck, raised her head, and stared at her.

Tristan’s expression darkened when she saw Cecelia hugging his woman.

Sensing his hostile stare, Cecelia intentionally stuck her tongue out toward him. Soph doesn’t belong to him only. Why can’t someone else hug her?

He scoffed.

“Time’s up, Cecelia. We should go,” the manager reminded.

It was then Cecelia let go of Sophie. “I can go there with my assistant. You take Soph to the VIP seat.”

“No need. I can go there by myself. She’s your manager, so it’s better if she follows you,” Sophie declined.

She was just there as a member of the audience. It wasn’t necessary for the manager to follow her.

“In that case, please lead Ms. Tanner to her seat, Chrissy.” Cecelia was still worried. Soph is in my territory right now. I need to take good care of her.

After Cecelia left with her manager, Tristan grabbed Sophie and pulled her into his embrace. “Don’t let anyone else hug you in the future. I’ll get upset.”

If Cecelia was not Sophie’s important friend, he would have chopped Cecelia’s hands off.

Sophie raised her eyebrow. “Not even a woman?” He’s so possessive!

“No. I’m the only one allowed to hug you like this.”

It was Sophie’s first time seeing him acting so childishly.

Sophie stared at Cecelia. She has really grown up. A lot of sacrifices are required for someone to grow up, but I still can’t help but feel touched when I see her being the shining star that she is right now.

Tristan grabbed her hand. I didn’t have the opportunity to participate in her life in the past, and many things had happened. However, I’ll be sure to accompany her for the rest of her life.
