Pursuing Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 27

Chapter 27 Kneel

“Yes, I am. Who are you?”

This girl looks really pretty. There’s no way I would forget her if I had seen her before…

“My name is Sophie.”

Not wanting to waste too much time here nor reveal her identity to him, she stood up and continued nonchalantly, “You guys are tracking down Dr. Yarren’s whereabouts, right? I’ll give it a try.”

Eustace couldn’t help but frown when he heard that.

“Missy, you should get back to class if you’re bored. I’m really busy, so I don’t have time for your silly games!”

He had been so stressed out over Dr. Yarren’s case that he hadn’t slept well in a month, so he really wasn’t in the mood for games.

“I said, I can help you out, Captain Sheppard!” Sophie was starting to lose her patience.

“Missy—”

“You desperately need to find Dr. Yarren, don’t you? What harm is there in letting me have a shot?”

Eustace had assumed she was just another troublemaker at first, but changed his mind when he saw the determined look in her eyes.

“All right, then. Come with me!” Eustace said as he led her to the technical department.

The technicians had been working day and night for a month, but were still unable to track down Dr. Yarren.

“Captain Sheppard!” a few of them greeted Eustace upon seeing him before getting back to work.

As Dr. Yarren’s life could be in danger, it was of utmost importance that they find him as soon as possible.

“You there, get up,” Sophie told one of the technicians.

“Go play somewhere else, missy. I’m busy over here,” the technician replied without even looking at her.

“Get up!”

As it was Eustace ordering him this time, the technician had no choice but to do as told.

“Where did you find such a pretty girl, Captain Sheppard?” he asked when he finally looked at Sophie.

Since when has Captain Sheppard become so irresponsible? I can’t believe he’d bring an outsider into the technical department!

Sophie ignored him and began entering a bunch of codes after sitting down.

The technician and a few other senior programmers were dumbfounded when they saw her go at it.

What the… She’s wearing a high school uniform, and yet, she’s greater than all of us in terms of her speed and skill! Who on Earth is this girl?

Eustace, who was initially skeptical of her request, soon found himself feeling a little expectant after seeing her skill.

Sophie continued chewing on a piece of gum while hacking her way through firewall after firewall, eventually narrowing the search down to a specific area.

Hmm… This is as detailed as I can get, huh?

“This is as far as I can get you, Captain Sheppard. The rest is up to you guys.” Sophie said with a frown as she got up and prepared to leave.

“Are you sure this is the place?” The technicians were unable to find any leads before, so they were a little skeptical about the data on the screen.

“This is all I managed to find.”

The technician, who mocked her earlier, asked respectfully, “What’s your name, missy?”

“My name is Sophie Tanner.”

“Thank you very much, Sophie. I’ll treat you to a meal as a token of appreciation when I bring Dr. Yarren back!” Eustace said as he gathered his men.

We’ll head over to Anglandur and bring Dr. Yarren back for sure!

“Hello, Ms. Tanner. I’m Ian Douglas. May I ask you some questions?”

“Sure.”
