Chapter 804 She Is One Of Us
Even so, Simon knew hard work would only get him that far. He still needed connections to bridge the gap.
Now, Sophie was giving him that chance.
“Yeah, try it out! I'll be gone for a couple of days, but Dr. Bates will be here. If you have any questions, you may go to her.”
Sophie then introduced Georgina to the two.
“Hi, I'm Georgina Bates. Feel free to ask me any questions you might have. I'll try my best to help you out! My phone number is...”
Simon and Sandra immediately took out their phone and saved Georgina's number. After a few more exchanges, Georgina excused herself to return to work.
Meanwhile, Sophie took the two on a tour around Chanaean Medical Association.
Sandra and Simon looked around curiously. Everything seemed so novel to them.
“Can we really work here, Sophie?” Sandra still couldn't believe that was true.
She knew her abilities well and was aware it wasn't sufficient to land a job there.
Simon was even worse than her.
“Sure you can! You can start as a trainee. There'll be a test two years later. If you pass it, you'll be part of the medical association,” Sophie explained. “Are you willing to be a trainee?”
Simon nodded immediately as if afraid Sophia would rescind her offer.
Is she joking? Even if the job is part of a cleaning crew, I'll still eagerly take it, much less a trainee!
Sophie turned to Sandra.
“What about you?”
Sandra had been shadowing her at the University of Medicine for a year and had actually improved by leaps and bounds. However, she didn't realize it.
“Of course I'm willing. I'm still in a daze, Sophie. It feels like I'm in a dream.”
The dream she had always wished for had finally become a reality that day. How could she be unwilling to accept Sophie's offer?
I'm more than willing!
“This is reality, Sandra. This is not a dream. Don't worry. There's nothing impossible in this world as long as we have Sophie with us,” Simon concluded proudly.
They were grateful to have met and befriended Sophie.
Sandra nodded, agreeing with Simon's words.
He's right. There's nothing impossible with Sophie here.
“Since Georgina joined earlier than you both, you can look for her if you have any questions. Don't be shy. She's one of us.”
“Okay, Sophie. We know you're busy, so you can leave us to our own devices and return to work.”
They could wander around themselves.
“I'll be abroad for a few days, so let's talk once I return. Whatever questions you may have, I'll answer them then.” Sophie knew they had plenty of questions for her, but she really didn't have time to clear up their confusion.
“Where are you going? Is there something we can help with? Remember to tell us if it's something that we can help you with. Don't be courteous.” After all, Sophie had been helping them the whole time, and they hadn't been able to return the favor.
“All right. Thank you for your kind offer.” Sophia had no intention of divulging her issues since they couldn't help at all, so she didn't want to cause them more trouble.
“Aren't we useless, Sophie? We can't help you with anything.”
Disappointment filled Sandra as she couldn't give a helping hand to her dear friend.
There had been many occasions where she and Simon wanted to help, but their capabilities became their stumbling blocks.
“Don't overthink. I still have some work to finish. Feel free to take a look around.” Sophie still had other things to do, so she didn't have the time to accompany them.
Once Sophie left, Simon said excitedly, “Sandra, don't overthink. Haven't you always dreamed of being a part of the medical association? Now that we're finally here, we just have to do our best so that we don't embarrass Sophie!” They refused to be a source of chagrin to Sophie. Anything they did would reflect on her since she brought them there.
“Yeah. I'll work hard. Simon, you have to work hard too! We have to work even harder!” He's right. How can I embarrass Sophie? We might not be as talented as her, but we should be able to increase our chances of staying at the medical association if we work hard.
“I don't ever want to leave the medical association since I'm already here, Simon.” She might not be as obsessed if she hadn't been there. Yet, because she'd been there, she was more determined than ever to stay.
Simon nodded.
“It looks like we're on the same page.” You can only protect the one you want to protect when you stand at the very top.
Simon resolved to work hard, albeit slowly, to equip himself with abilities that could get him to the top. He didn't want others to determine his life and death.
Ysabelle knew Sophie was leaving for Anglandur soon, so she began packing. When Sophie arrived at the mansion, she saw Ysabelle lugging a packed suitcase toward her.
Sophie narrowed her eyes at Ysabelle, trying to get a read on her.
“What do you think you're doing? Don't you have any work recently?” It's already a new year, and I'm sure she has plenty of things to do, but isn't her work supposed to be local?
Ysabelle immediately shook her head.
“I heard you're leaving for Anglandur. I'm going with you,” Ysabelle said with a smile. “Please don't turn me down, Sophie! I want to go with you.”
She had come over because she overheard Felix and Tristan talking about it.
Since it's dangerous, all the more reason for me to go with her. I don't want her risking her safety alone.
Sophie ruffled Ysabelle's hair.
“I know what you're thinking, Ysabelle, but you can't help with anything even if you came with me. Instead, you'll only be a distraction, so please be good and stay here. I'll be back before you know it.”
Sophie wasn't planning to be there for long, so why would Ysabelle follow her?
Ysabelle frowned at Sophia's rejection.
“Do you think I'm a bother, Sophie?” Am I a burden to her because I can't protect myself, nor can I help her with anything?
“No! Why would you think that? But it's true that you can't help me with anything even if you came with me. Be good and stay at TS Entertainment.”
TS Entertainment was established for Ysabelle and The Wheelers, so she should work hard.
Ysabelle shook her head.
“But I want to go with you! Whatever the danger, I want to face them with you.”
“What about Felix? Shouldn't you think about his feelings? I'm sure he'll be sad if you're being this stubborn.”
A troubled expression marred Ysabelle's countenance at the mention of Felix. She couldn't be as impulsive as before. After all, he was someone she truly liked.
“That's why you should stay here with Felix.” She really doesn't need to follow me there. That'll only give Nicholas more leverage over me.
When Tristan and Felix arrived at the mansion, they saw Ysabelle causing a fuss in her bid to follow Sophie to Anglandur.
Tristan's brows furrowed at Ysabelle's immaturity. Why is she acting so immature? We're all busy, yet she's causing a scene.
“Felix, can you control your woman? Stop letting her show off her IQ here.”
Felix didn't know how to respond to Tristan's barb.
“Mr. Tristan, can you not look down on her so much? She's your niece! Plus, she just really likes your wife. Can't you appreciate that she's fond of your wife? Why do you have to consider her a bother?”
Isn't he crossing a line here?
