Pursuing Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 108

Chapter 108 Is Someone On Her Tail

Winter was truly and adamantly indignant about this state of affairs, but there was little she could do about it under the circumstances.

Old Mr. Lombard, though, would never be able to accept Sophie for her background, especially when Sophie herself is consistently dogged by a bad rep.

“Whatever the case, steer clear of Sophie, or even I would not be able to protect you.”

Though the Quigley family was considered among the four major families, there was still a considerable gap in the influence they wielded when compared to the Lombard family.

Under Tristan’s leadership, the Lombard family had already left the other three families lagging far behind, making Tristan someone not to be trifled with in the here and now.

“Okay. Got it. I won’t try to mess with her.” So long as I’m not the one moving against her directly, nobody can hold me responsible if someone else decided to do otherwise, could they?

She was certainly nobody’s fool.

Winter had always thought herself to be exceptional, and not once had she considered herself to be Sophie’s lesser.

Tristan opened the door for Sophie to get inside the car.

“To the Wisteria Apartments?” That’s going to make me late for school, wouldn’t it?

“Yeah!”

They only just got in the car when a call came in from Bailey. Sophie took one glance but still choose to pick up.

“Why aren’t you in school today? Are you not feeling well?” Bailey asked in concern. He had grown accustomed to paying attention to Sophie’s every move without even realizing it himself.

“No. I took the day off because I had some stuff to see to. What’s up?”

“Nothing, really. I just wanted to ask if you’d be coming into the lab after class.” He was missing her a little despite only not seeing her for one afternoon.

“Nah. I don’t think I’ll be headed there today.” Sophie considered that she might not be able to squeeze in the time after her visit to the Wings of Light.

“Do you have anything else for me?”

“No. That’s it.”

The dead tone on the phone left Bailey a little despondent.

Nevertheless, he still turned around and made his way to the medical laboratory, for it was only there that he would be able to avoid thinking about her.

“Who was that?”

As the volume on Sophie’s phone was turned up pretty high, Tristan was able to hear the male voice coming from the other end.

“Just a schoolmate.”

“A guy?” Tristan’s fingers tightened around the steering wheel. She really is too attractive.

“Yeah. Our physics teacher is sending us for competition together, so we’ve been doing experiments together quite often,” said Sophie in a casual manner as she did not think too much of that call from Bailey.

“Is he interested in you?” Tristan had not realized how much his words reeked of envy.

Sophie’s brows perked up.

“I wouldn’t know that.” Sophie was never one to place too much attention on people who were not important to her.

That yielded no response from the flabbergasted Tristan, who thought he might be contending with one rival too many.

The car arrived at Wisteria Apartments, but Tristan did not see her upstairs as he had other matters that needed his attention.

After getting in, Sophie changed out of her uniform into a black hoodie and a pair of light blue jeans before grabbing a ride down to Wings of Light.

Wings of Light was situated along the most bustling street in Jipsdale. Real estate was at a premium here, but Wings of Light itself occupied a standalone building consisting of eight floors. Though shabby on the exterior, stepping inside would reveal that there was more to it than meets the eye.

Having not been around for some time, she was refused entry by the elderly gentleman guarding the entrance because he did not recognize her.
