Changing Only For Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 144

 

Lorelei began to panic when she saw Clayton walking toward them, for she knew he disliked how she always caused a scene in public. The fact that Lorelei got so much attention did not help with the situation she was in either.

“What’s going on? Didn’t I ask you to wait for me here? How did it end up like this?” With so many people surrounding them, Clayton realized that keeping a low profile was no longer an option.

“Clayton, I didn’t do it on purpose. We’re only arguing because she secretly took photos of me. Now she’s pulling my hair and refusing to let me go,” explained Lorelei pitifully.

“Are you guys seeing this? It’s really Clayton! I knew he and Lorelei had a thing going on. Do you believe me now?”

“It is him! I didn’t trust the media before because they didn’t have solid proof. Gosh, I can’t believe what I’m seeing now! Clayton is a tycoon in the entertainment industry, and being with the man probably means a bright future awaiting Lorelei.”

“You’re right. If you ask me, the two are a match made in heaven!”

Lorelei was more than glad when she heard the discussion. I knew it! Clayton and I are meant for each other, and everybody seems to think so too.

At that moment, Clayton could not help noticing how Sophie had raised her eyebrow when she looked at others. Even though the young woman did not do it deliberately, it was hard for anyone to ignore it.

When Lorelei caught Clayton looking at Sophie, she quickly grabbed the man’s hand.

“What are you looking at?” questioned Lorelei jealously.

“Missy, did you really take pictures of Lorelei? If so, delete them, and we’ll call it even.” Although Clayton thought Sophie was outstandingly good-looking, he had better things to do and would rather not waste more of his time.

“What makes you think I want to call it even? Ms. Crawford here not only slandered me but also broke my phone, so I believe you two owe me an explanation.”

“How would you like to be compensated then? With a new phone?” inquired Clayton nonchalantly.

“Not just that. I want an apology from Ms. Crawford. Everybody here heard how she accused me of secretly taking photos of her. Then, I must still have the pictures on my phone. If that’s not the case, it’s only right that she apologizes to me, no?”

After listening to Sophie, Clayton immediately became more interested in the young lady. It looks like she’s not the kind who’d go down without a fight.

“What are you going on about? You’re just trying to hook up with Clayton because he’s rich and handsome. Trust me. You’re not the first to try.” Lorelei despised Sophie because she thought she had the young woman all figured out.

Sophie instinctively frowned at Lorelei after hearing that. Are all female artists this insufferable these days? Does she seriously think every woman in the world is out to steal her boyfriend? It’s not like he’s the most attractive man on earth.

“I think Lorelei is right. This young woman is obviously trying to hook up with Clayton because of how rich and handsome he is.”

“Are all young women this desperate these days?”

“If that’s the case, I’d say this young woman is a pretty crafty one. She knew she’d be able to find Clayton by stalking Lorelei. That’s really scary!”

“Women these days are all the same. They’ll gladly spread their legs in bed as long as the other party is rich enough.”

The crowd’s discussion only served to boost Lorelei’s confidence. It seems I’m not the only one who thinks that way. Everybody here agrees with me.

“Come on, Clayton.” Lorelei started to get nervous again. Why is he even listening to a stranger? Has he fallen for her?

Seeing how things had come to that, Lorelei was relieved. She has no choice but to accept her fate now. ”As I said, I’m not pressing charges, so we’re done here. Let’s go, Clayton. It’s freezing out here.”
