Sophie and the leader of Chanaea settled various problems about International Medical Association before parting ways.
With the government's support, the matter would be easier to resolve.
Sophie invited Barney and Arius to dinner that night. Barney was her mentor, after all. He had been too busy to spare any time, so now that he was finally free, Sophie had to treat him to a meal.
Since Tristan knew Barney was Sophie's mentor, he naturally had to join the dinner as well.
The dinner would be held at Blossom Garden.
After signing the final document on his table, Tristan looked at the time and found that it was almost six in the evening. He immediately grabbed his coat and left the office while giving Sophie a call.
“It's about time. I'll go pick you up. Are you done?” he asked.At the moment, Sophie was at TS Entertainment.
“Yes. Tell me when you're here.”
It was already cold in Jipsdale. As Sophie was very prone to feeling cold, she didn't want to wait downstairs in such weather.
“All right. Remember to wear your coat.”
Knowing that Sophie was afraid of the cold, Tristan had prepared lots of wool coats for her in different colors and styles.
He had also gotten her scarves and hats that matched the color of those coats. Basically, he had all sorts of winter items for her.
“I know. Drive safe!”
After hanging up, Sophie told Mark and the others, “You guys have had too many events lately, so you should rest for some time. I'll be giving all of you a month off. You can go anywhere you want. The company will shoulder the expenses for you.”
Work was not the only thing important in life; one had to travel and have fun from time to time.
This was especially the case for celebrities, who had to deal with huge pressure due to their profession. If they didn't relieve their stress in time, they could encounter a lot of problems in the future.
Hearing Sophie, Jonathan was dumbfounded.
“A whole month? They're a popular band. How could they rest for one month?” he pointed out. No one knew what the entertainment industry would be like in a month.
This was why none of the popular celebrities dared to rest. They all worked like there was no tomorrow for fear that their juniors would surpass them one day and take away their spots.
Cecelia appeared just then and interjected. “Don't worry! I'm here, so publicity is not a problem. Things have indeed been too tiring for them lately. They need to relax.”
If one only worked and never rested, one would be no different from a robot.
Efficiency was also important in the entertainment industry.
Meanwhile, Mark furrowed his brows and stated, “Sophie, we don't need to rest. I'm serious.”
Sunny nodded to that, saying, “That's right. Sophie, don't go easy on us just because we're good friends. We're the company's artists, so it's only right that we earn money for the company.”
The other three members all agreed with Sunny and Mark.
“I'm letting you rest so that you can do even better. It's time for you to prepare your next album, isn't it? How could you have time to write good songs under such intense work conditions? You are singers, and what matters the most is your music. Without that, what will you show the public?”
Sophie was once in the band with them, so she knew what they needed.
She went on, “Don't worry! It's not like you're the only band under TS Entertainment. You will only be away for a month. TS Entertainment will not go bankrupt.”
“Sophie, how could you be so sweet? Actually, you're right. We've been very pressured recently, but thankfully, our fans are very understanding.”
No matter how exhausting it was, the band members were happy because they could do what they loved.
Besides, it wasn't an easy feat for the five of them to keep doing music together, so they cherished it a lot.
“Okay, it's decided, then. Jonathan, you should go with them. I only have one request—do not get into any scandals. But if you want to date, go ahead. The company has no restrictions for that.”
It was about time for them to date.
No matter what happened in life, it would be great to have a companion.
“Where should we go? How about Horbah? There are lots of beautiful girls there. Maybe we'll find love there!” Sunny said excitedly.
Sophie told them, “It's up to you where you want to go. I have a lot of things to deal with, so I won't be able to go with you.” Indeed, she had been quite busy recently, so she could not travel with them.
“What a shame. It would be great if you could come with us. That way, the six of us can spend time with each other.”
Before, when the six of them were in the band, they were always together wherever they went.
Although they missed the old times a lot, it was impossible to turn back time.
“We will get a chance one day. When I'm done with the work at hand, I'll hang out with you guys,” said Sophie with a smile.
Right. We will never be able to return to the time when we were together and free of worries. But it's okay. We have many chances in the future. At least we're together now, aren't we?
Just then, Ysabelle returned from the recording studio and happened to hear their conversation. She chimed in, “Bring me with you if you're traveling somewhere by then. I want to go with you guys, too.”
“Sure! You're our colleague. Of course, we'd bring you!” Thanks to Sophie, everything was progressing positively.
All of them were doing well, and things would only get better.
Ysabelle approached Sophie and suggested, “Sophie, let's have dinner together.”
“I'll pass. Why don't you eat with Felix tonight? I have a dinner appointment later,” Sophie replied. Moreover, she was the one who arranged the dinner.
“Oh, okay!”
Ysabelle knew that Sophie's schedule was packed, but she still enjoyed sharing a meal with the latter.
Sophie stroked Ysabelle's head and coaxed, “Be good. Felix is already waiting for you downstairs, isn't he?”
There was no denying that Felix was really sweet to Ysabelle. Every day, he would come to the company to pick her up.
“All right, I'll go to him now. If you have any gatherings next time, remember to invite me. I like eating with you guys.”
Hearing Ysabelle, her assistant couldn't help but giggle.
Ysabelle likes our boss so much!
At that moment, Tristan came upstairs. When he saw Sophie talking to Mark and the others, he walked over.
“Why did you come up? I thought I told you to wait downstairs.”
Sophie figured Tristan should be tired after working for the whole day.
“I'm here to fetch you. Are you done? I think we should leave now.”
“Yeah. Anyway, you guys plan your trip. I'll get going first.” Sophie had given them the necessary reminders, so it was time for her to go to the restaurant.
“Okay. Go ahead.”
While looking at Sophie's and Tristan's figures from the back, Mark felt a sense of regret.
If I had acted resolutely and stayed with Sophie back then, could things have turned out differently?
