“All right! I was wrong. I shouldn't have talked.” There was nothing he could do. No matter what others said, Tristan would not listen anyway.
At that moment, the door opened. Sophie and Ysabelle entered together.
“Felix, what are you talking about again? Are you speaking ill of Sophie?” After Ysabelle stepped in, she pulled a chair, sat down, poured a glass of water, and drank it. She was parched.
“Ysabelle, is that how you think of me?”
“Yes,” Ysabelle was rather rude as she replied without hesitation, making one want to smack her.
Tristan pulled a chair for Sophie and handed her a glass of water after she sat down.
Sophie was thirsty too and had two sips.
“Sorry for keeping everyone waiting so long.” As it was not easy to deal with the problem with The Wheelers, she had to be there personally.
“What are you saying? We didn't wait long anyway,” said Tristan.
Charles kept quiet. Didn't we wait here for an hour? How is that not a long time? Forget it. Regardless, I'm okay with anything as long as Mr. Tristan is happy. After waiting for so long, I can finally have a meal.
“Sophie, do you need my help?” asked Sean, who was able to help out in the matter as he was best at handling lawsuits.
Charles took a glance at Sean. What is this brat thinking? Why did he suddenly offer to help?
“I do. Thank you.” Sophie was being frank too. She had planned to sue Clayton the next day and would need a lawyer. “Any lawyer from your law firm will do. I don't want to trouble you with such a case.”
“Don't mention it.”
She just asked for Sean's help. Why doesn't she need my help then?
Tristan felt slightly disappointed, not knowing how to describe his dismay.
After the meal, everyone headed home respectively.
On the way back, Sophie noticed Tristan was not in a good mood.
“What's wrong? Are you angry? I don't think I have done anything to make you mad!”
One would wonder what kind of girlfriend she was upon thinking about how she could not tell he was angry.
“You are willing to accept Sean's help, so why wouldn't you let me help you then?”
“That's because he's a lawyer.” Is it necessary to be mad about this too? There's no need for it at all.
“Just because he's a lawyer? But I can help you in other ways too. For example, I can deal with Clayton.”
“Mr. Tristan...” Sophie had no idea what to say anymore. “I'm being serious. If I need your help, I will surely ask you, but someone from the Public Relations Department is already taking care of this matter. You...”
Such a thing was bound to happen sooner or later when she decided to establish an entertainment company.
There was no point in setting up a company if she needed his help with everything.
“Hmm? What about me?” Tristan didn't think there was anything wrong with him.
My request is not too much to ask for, right?
Sophie held his hand.
“There, there. Stop being mad, okay?” This was the most she could do.
He sighed.
Naturally, Tristan couldn't say anything else at that.
Seeing his girlfriend behaving like this, he could only suck it up regardless.
There was still more chances to teach Clayton a lesson anyway.
After returning to Wisteria Apartments, Sophie lay on the couch immediately and didn't feel like moving.
Tristan took out a honeydew from the fridge and sliced a few pieces for her.
During dinner earlier, she didn't eat much.
As Sophie looked at the sliced honeydew, the corner of her lips curled upward without her realizing it.
He was a guy who would still take good care of her no matter how mad he was.
Without a doubt, she was pretty lucky to meet a man like him in such a turbulent society.
“Thank you.”
“I don't wish to hear those two words. I would be happier if you could change them to something else.”
“To what? Love you?”
Sophie had a sudden urge to mess with him.
Upon hearing those words, Tristan felt excited and immediately sat down next to her.
“Can you say it one more time? Make it a statement and not a question,” suggested Tristan.
At his remark, Sophie burst out laughing.
The way Tristan behaved now was adorable.
“What do you want me to say again?” Sophie acted dumb as she wanted to see more of his current expression.
Tristan then pulled her into his arms and placed his head on her shoulder.
“You meanie. How could you be so cheeky? You know very well what I want to hear, don't you? Since you do, why can't you say it right away? Are you happy to see me sad?”
Sophie was rendered speechless.
Everything's my fault then.
“All right, all right. Please say it one more time.”
Seeing him like that, Sophie inched closer and whispered in his ear, “Love you.”
Finally, he heard what he always wanted to hear.
Tristan was overwhelmed with joy.
The excitement was far greater than when he managed to sign deals worth millions.
He pinned her onto the couch and kissed her passionately, making her feel his deep love for her.
He could do nothing about her except coax, love, and pamper her.
No matter how much he had done, he only wished for her to stay safe and sound by his side.
Sophie felt dizzy from his kisses.
It turns out the infamous Mr. Tristan is so easy to please.
The way he behaved made her feel very sorry for him.
She wondered how he could be so humble in front of her.
Meanwhile, Clayton thought Sky Media had done an excellent job. Besides, The Wheelers were entirely crushed by him for now.
How dare they wish to remain in the entertainment industry after leaving Sky Media? Do they really think I am that big of a pushover? Well, it's not that they can't leave. If they had left the entertainment industry for good and did not stand in my way, I could have lived with that.
Feeling smug, Clayton exited Sky Media with his assistant.
Suddenly, Sunny stood in their way.
“Clayton, you are truly despicable and shameless. I have never met someone as outrageous as you.” After Sunny finished talking, he threw a punch.
They had finally managed to leave and reunite with Sophie.
Yet, Clayton wanted to ruin all of it, so how could he put up with it?
“Sunny, have you lost your mind?” Clayton's assistant immediately grabbed Sunny.
As Sunny used to be like a school bully, there was no way Clayton's assistant could hold him still.
Clayton was not a pushover too.
“Let him go,” said Clayton to his assistant.
“Clayton.” His assistant had no idea what Clayton was thinking.
“Since he wants to start a fight, I shall have a round with him.”
With that, Clayton took off his coat right away.
Sunny glared at Clayton.
“Clayton, I will make you pay today.” As soon as Sunny said that, he made a move.
Clayton was the successor to the Zales family; naturally, he had learned how to fight.
Moreover, his skills were better than Sunny's. In a split second, Sunny was beaten to a pulp.
Still, Sunny refused to give up. He wrapped his arms around Clayton's waist and tried to hit the latter against the wall.
No matter what, there was no way he would let Clayton off easily.
