“All right. Let's put up with her for a month, then.” After all, it was Charles himself who had chosen the girlfriend.
It wasn't good for the group to comment on anything.
In that case, they might as well keep quiet. It was only a month, anyway.
Besides, Charles was a playboy who didn't take his love life seriously, and becoming his girlfriend might not be a good thing either.
He might change his mind after a couple of days despite how serious he was now.
Greta was in the washroom. Naturally, she heard the duo's conversation. Sophie knows I am in here. How could she say those words without caring about my presence? Does she think of herself as one class above everyone? It took me a great effort to be with someone so powerful, yet she still looks down on me. This is too much! Hmph! She wants to split us up, huh? Let's see who will have a breakup first, then!
She was certain that Tristan knew nothing about Simon's feelings toward Sophie and decided to make it known to Tristan to break off his relationship with Sophie.
When she returned from the washroom, only Charles was waiting for her. Everyone else had already left.
“What took you so long? Everybody's left.” Charles liked Greta quite a bit, but a spoilt brat like him disliked waiting for someone.
When Greta heard that, she quickly wrapped her arms around Charles' and said piteously, “Mr. Quigley, your friends don't seem to like me very much. I'm a little worried, as I like you from the bottom of my heart and only want to be with you.”
Seeing her looking all pitiful, Charles touched her nose dotingly.
“Don't overthink. That is who they are like. But they are all my best buddies and won't do anything to you. Don't worry.” Charles was now quite fond of Greta and willing to explain more to her.
“I'm glad to hear that. Actually, Sophie is my classmate at the University of Medicine. However, there seems to be a misunderstanding between us. I'm a little worried that she may not like me.”
“Are you also a student of the University of Medicine?” Charles knitted his brows and wondered what kind of misunderstanding Greta had with Sophia. “No matter what, do remember that Sophie is not a woman you can trifle with. Be polite whenever you encounter her. She will not make things difficult for you for my sake.”
He had been spending time with Sophie for a while and naturally knew what kind of a person she was.
Sophie was never a nosy person.
For those she didn't actually care, she wouldn't even bother to spare them another glance. Thus, he was never worried that she would give Greta a hard time.
“Okay.” Greta dared not to say anything else, knowing Charles was actually telling her not to make enemies with Sophie.
“Remember what I said, don't you ever cross Sophie. Otherwise, even I will not be able to protect you.”
Although Charles liked Greta quite a bit, he would never pick a quarrel with Sophie and the group because of her.
After all, Sophie was an extremely scary character to him.
Whoever offended her would be doomed.
Greta was somewhat upset by Charles' remarks. What's so great about Sophie? It's all because Mr. Tristan adores her. She'll be nothing without him.
She thought as long as Tristan had no more romantic feelings for Sophie, the latter would be a nobody and no longer worthy of doing anything she wanted like before.
Needless to say, she knew what men cared about the most.
When Charles took Greta to Nocturnal, the others were already there, and Sean was drinking at a corner.
Sean seldom talked on such occasions. It was as if he was living in another world, and the others had no way to enter it.
Sophie was the only person he was willing to talk to.
The rest of the group had gotten used to him behaving in that manner, and they all got along very well.
“Sophie, I think I'm quite popular recently. Since my new album is almost ready, should I seize the opportunity and release it as soon as possible?”
Although Ysabelle had been busy with the new album lately, she enjoyed such a busy life.
“Well, there's no need for you to ask me about this. You should have absolute confidence in Xandra's professionalism and discuss it with her directly.”
Sophie thought Xandra knew everything about the entertainment industry like the back of her hand.
Thus, everything she decided wouldn't be any problem.
“Do you not love me anymore? Are you abandoning me?” Ysabelle pouted and asked, “I sincerely think my new song is quite nice. Could you please listen to it the next time you go to TS Entertainment?”
Despite how much her fans loved her, she still wished to get Sophie's recognition.
It was as though that was the only thing she considered her real success.
“Enough, Ysabelle. It's you who wants to become a singer. Sophie has nothing to do about it. She has been very busy recently. Please leave her alone,” Tristan warned.
“All right, all right. I'm sorry, Sophie. I shouldn't have bothered you.” Ysabelle thought Sophie must be exhausted after everything she had been through lately.
“I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me. I'll visit you soon when I'm free.” Sophie knew Ysabelle had great self-awareness and wasn't worried at all.
Besides, there were many professionals In TS Entertainment. Even if Ysabelle faced a problem, they could help to solve it.
Felix comforted Ysabelle, “It's okay. I'll listen to you sing tomorrow. All you need is my admiration. Just ignore your Uncle Tristan. He only has Sophie in his heart.”
Ysabelle leaned on Felix's shoulder and wailed, “Mm. Uncle Tristan doesn't love me anymore. No, I should say he never loved me.”
Her adorable look made Sophie chuckle. Ah, such a feeling is wonderful! Everything I do doesn't seem like a big deal as long as I have them by my side.
Greta couldn't blend into the group when they were discussing other topics. However, she got to know Ysabelle was a singer when she heard them mention singing.
“Ysabelle, I like your songs very much. May I have your autograph after this?” she asked with a smile.
“Really? Do you like my songs? Aww! Do you know what song I sang, then?” Ysabelle looked at Greta in anticipation.
Greta couldn't answer for a moment.
Ysabelle was indeed quite popular recently. But most of her fans were boys, so Greta didn't pay much attention to her songs.
At that moment, she merely wanted to join the group and chat with them.
She didn't expect Ysabelle to ask such a question.
Disappointment swamped Ysabelle as she watched Greta.
“So you're a fake fan! Please don't say that on purpose if you don't like me. You're only making me disappointed.” Ysabelle thought Greta was hypocritical. I am a singer. I only wish for fans to truly like me but not any fake fans.
Greta clenched her fists in silence. Feeling utterly awkward, she dared not even look at Charles' reaction.
