Chapter 230 Shocking Self Control “Mr. Tristan, are our plans for this year’s Christmas the same as usual?” Every year, the fourof them would have dinner with their families on Christmas Eve.
However, they would go on a vacation together after that. “I have other plans, so I won’t join you this year,” Tristan replied nonchalantly. The other three were silent and couldnot help glancing toward Sophie.
His “other plans” must refer to her! Alas, some people really do forget all about their friends after getting a girlfriend.
That’s no fun.
“Don’t look at me.
I’m busy and won’t be with Mr.
Tristan,” Sophie responded.
They don't think I'll be spending Christmas with him, do they? “Huh?” Felix could hardly believe his ears.
What was that I just heard? So, that means Mr.
Tristan's feelings are one-sided, and he hasn't told her about them! How awkward! Suddenly, Felix felt a littlesorry for Tristan. Sure enough, one reaps what one sows.
Ms.
Tanner sure is no pushover. “What are you busy with? Christmas is a time for family.
Everything else doesn’t matter.
Didn't your grandfather recently undergo surgery?” Sarah couldn't help piping up.
It's only at this age that I realize how important it is to spend time with family.
Perhaps it's because I let my family down too much when I was younger. “Yes, I know.
I'll be back in time for Christmas.” She had already promised Josiah that she would celebrate the holiday with him.
And since she had given him her word, there was no way she would change her plans. “Soph, sinceyou'll be in Jipsdale for Christmas, can I go and hang out at your house during that time?” Ysabelle asked.
She had not been to Sophie's house before. “You little rascal.
What are you doing going to Sophie's house during Christmas? This year, no one is allowed to run aboutas they wish.
You're all to stay at home with your families.” “Oh, that's all right.
I'll call you after I get back from Horington,” said Sophie.
She did not mind if Ysabelle wanted to go and find her.
However, I’d much rather stay at Wisteria Apartments.
I still don't feel like returning to the family mansion.
But let's not think about that for now. “I heard you'll be attending Tanner Group’s shareholders’ meeting tomorrow and will officially assume the positionof the company's CEO.” Sarah was thoroughly fascinated by Sophie.
She's only eighteen, but she has already led the ailing Transfix Cosmetics to where it is today. “Yeah,” Sophie replied, not feeling the need to hide that from the others. The Tannerfamily may be nothing compared to the four families now, but that doesn't mean it'll stay that way forever.
Tanner Group is the result of Grandpa’s hard work.
Hence, I won't let it fall. “If you need my help with anything, just let me know.
I’m not busy these few days anyway.
I can go with you if you need.
Why don't I act as your secretary?” Sarah was still worried Sophie would get bullied by the capitalists. At least I’vehad more life experience, so I'd feel more at ease if I went with her. “There's really no need for that, Sarah.
