Pursuing Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 628

In the evening, Sandra called Sophie to tell her what happened earlier that afternoon.

“Sophie, I think Simon's attitude toward Greta is going to make her hate you even more!” After all, the fewer enemies they had in school, the better.

“There's nothing I can do about it. It's a fact that Simon is not interested in Greta. I can't force him to like her because of me, right?”

Besides, that was Simon's personal affairs, and it was up to him how he wanted to handle it.

Sophie and he were just friends, and she had no right to interfere.

“All right. I understand. Anyway, what are you up to? Is there anything I can help you with? You have to let me know if you need any help, yeah?”

Everyone was aware that Sophie was very busy during that period of time. However, as no one knew what she was doing, they did not know how they could help her.

“I'm just dealing with some work at the office. You guys won't be able to help me with it. Don't worry, I can manage.”

Both Sandra and Simon were just normal college students, and Sophie did not want to bother them with anything as they should be focusing on their studies.

“Sure then! But if you need any help, you have to tell me.” After saying that, Sandra hung up and went back to her books.

Everyone had different capabilities and was meant to do different things.

Sandra was well aware that Simon and she would not be able to help Sophie with a lot of the things that she was involved in.

However, if they worked harder, maybe one day, they could be of some assistance to the woman.

After hanging up, Sophie continued with her work at Tanner Group. The company was currently in a mess because of the trouble Willow created.

They practically had to start over.

As Sophie had had enough of Willow, she decided to send her to the psychiatric nursing home. That way, no one would bother her ever again.

When Victor returned to the office after he was done with his work, he was surprised to see that Sophie was still in the office.

Worried that she might skip her meals, the man said, “Ms. Sophie, have you had your dinner yet? I'll buy you a meal! No matter how busy you are, you still have to eat.” Her health is going to take a toll if she keeps up with this. Moreover, she has a weaker body and needs even more nutrition.

“It's all right. I'm wrapping up soon. You should go back first.” Sophie was dealing with a rather tricky situation at hand that required more time.

However, she was going to be done with it soon.

Besides, Charles had organized a dinner gathering, and they were supposed to be eating together.

“I see! If that's the case, I shall head back first. Call me if you need any help. My phone is always on.”

“Mr. White, you don't have to do that. Growing a company takes a long time, and it is a continuous process.” Sophie knew that Victor was a man with passion and was very eager to bring the company to new heights.

However, he should still take care of his health.

“I understand, but isn't it your goal to overtake Whitley Group within three months? We have to put in more effort in order to achieve that.”

Since Sophie had already openly declared competition, Victor was determined to make it happen so that Sophie wouldn't be embarrassed no matter how tough it was.

“I'll treat you to a good meal another day. You've been working so hard, and it must be really tiring.” Sophie said with a smile.

She was only able to focus on other endeavors without worrying about Tanner Group because Victor was around to oversee matters at the company.

“Sure! I'll be waiting for your treat then.” Victor had been working at Tanner Group for a while but had not had the chance to eat with Sophie yet.

“It's set then! By the way, Transfix Cosmetics could be in some trouble. Can you make a trip there tomorrow if you have the time? I'll pass you the contact of the person in charge later. You can contact her directly!” Wilma seemed to be facing some issues, but she had not told Sophie anything about it.

Wilma was a capable woman, and Sophie trusted that she would handle the situation well. However, as it had been dragging on for some time, Sophie suspected that it could be a difficult case.

“Sure. I'll go tomorrow!” Victor readily agreed. He was happy to help in any manner he could.

After Victor left, Sophie fixed a few more details before saving the document and switching off her computer.

The moment she stepped out of the building, she saw Tristan's car parked outside.

“Didn't I tell you that you don't have to come and fetch me? I can go home myself!”

“That's not possible. Picking you up is both my right and my duty. No matter how we see it, it's just right that I come.”

Tristan opened the car door for Sophie to get in before returning to the driver's seat.

“What's going on? Is Tanner Group facing any issues? I noticed that you've been coming here more often lately.” Sophie used to leave all company matters in Victor's hands.

“Everything is fine. I'm just trying to improve the company's revenue, so I will be going to the office more often over the next few months.”

Since she had already stated that she would accomplish the feat within three months, she intended to stick to the timeline.

“Is it because of my father? You don't have to do this just because of him! If he likes you, he wouldn't be picking on you in the first place. If he doesn't like you, even if Tanner Group manages to overtake Whitley Group, nothing would change.”

Tristan felt that it was completely unnecessary for Sophie to do anything to please William.

It was simply not worth it.

She was the best in his eyes, and all that mattered was that he loved her.

He did not care about other people's opinions at all.

“It's not entirely because of that. Since I've taken the helm of Tanner Group, I'm responsible for the company's performance. As such, I have to do everything within my abilities to ensure the company does well.”

This is also Grandpa's wish.

Sophie was bent on doing her best as Tanner Group was the fruit of her grandfather's labor. The fact that Josiah had entrusted the company to her meant that he had faith in her, and she was not about to let him down.

Tristan kept one hand on the steering wheel and held the woman's hand with the other before saying, “It makes my heart ache to see you work so hard. After all, you've just completed the virus research and barely had time to rest before starting on your next task. I'm just worried that your body wouldn't be able to take it.”

“I'm fine. Work keeps me fulfilled. Isn't life supposed to be filled with challenges? Otherwise, it would be so boring. Don't you think?” They were not the sort of people who liked to stay idle.

“All right then! Is there anything I can help you with?” Tristan knew that Sophia was a very independent woman, but he often hoped that she would let him work alongside her and help her achieve her goals.

“Not at the moment. Don't worry. I will definitely let you know if I need help.”

She wanted Tristan to stay out of the matter.

Ultimately, it was a competition between her and Jennifer.

Since that was the case, it wouldn't be fair if the man got involved.

Sophie wanted to make sure that Jennifer accepted her defeat without any excuses.

She also wanted to send a clear message to all the socialites and heiresses of wealthy families in Jipsdale, warning them of the consequences they had to bear for coveting Tristan.

She could turn a blind eye to many things, but given her possessiveness, she would not allow anyone to have any ideas on Tristan. He was her man and belonged to her alone.

“Jeez! It's just Jennifer. She's really not worth the effort,” Tristan said. However, the fact that Sophie was willing to pit herself against Jennifer showed that he had an important place in her heart.
