Pursuing Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 64

Chapter 64 The Fate Of Tanner Group

Tristan took Sophie to the dining hall for a simple breakfast, and by the time they finished eating, the yacht that was supposed to pick them up had arrived. After bidding farewell to Ysabelle, Tristan led Sophie onto the waiting yacht.

“What’s this? Mr. Tristan is leaving his niece here and heading back first?”

“Right? Now that Mr. Tristan has left, what’s the point of staying here?”

“I wish I could leave with him. Alas, I dare not tell him that.”

“You? Even if Mr. Tristan wanted to take someone with him, it’d be me. Why would he take you with him?”

“Why you—”

With Tristan gone, all that was left behind were the ladies and their wild imaginations.

Over at Tanner Group, Yale had arrived at the office bright and early that morning.

The annual shareholders’ meeting would be held that day, and he couldn’t make a single mistake.

Charmaine, who held five percent of Tanner Group’s shares, had also gone to the office that day.

Yale’s secretary cautioned, “Mr. Tanner, many shareholders have strong opinions over the strategy you employed the last quarter of the year. Today’s meeting may not be favorable to you.”

“I know that. But as Tanner Group’s largest shareholder, even if they’re displeased with me, there’s nothing they can do to me. Am I right?”

To Yale, Tanner Group was meant to belong to the Tanner family.

The secretary was well aware of Yale’s character. He’s too stubborn, and his abilities are mediocre. If it weren’t for him, Tanner Group wouldn’t have turned into what it was today.

The secretary did not say anything more, thinking it was probably time to start searching for a new job.

“I’ll go and prepare for the meeting, then.”

With that, the secretary left the conference room immediately.

“Are you sure there won’t be any problems?” Charmaine pressed.

Although she did not know what had happened to the company, she did know that the dividends she received had gradually decreased due to the company’s less-than-stellar profits over the past few years.

“What problems could there be? Stop cursing me with bad luck,” Yale snapped irritably, in a foul mood. His eye had been twitching over the past week, and he was worried that it was an omen that something would go wrong.

I’d rather die than let Tanner Group slip through my hands!

“Why are you getting mad at me? Tanner Group’s profits have only plummeted lower and lower in your hands. I honestly have no idea how you did that!” Charmaine’s temper also flared as she thought about how her life was getting increasingly difficult.

“If you can’t say anything good, then shut up. Otherwise, get lost!” Yale yelled, infuriated.

If it hadn’t been for me, Tanner Group would be in a much worse state now!

Meanwhile, Tristan had driven Sophie right up to the lobby of the office building of Tanner Group.

“Do you want me to go in with you?” The car had come to a stop, yet he was reluctant to let her go in and face the criticisms and judgments alone.

“That’s okay. Are you busy? If not, stay here and accompany me for a while.”

I don’t want to head up just yet. I’ll go to the shareholders’ meeting directly later. If I go up now, I’ll only have to listen to a bunch of nonsense.

“I’m not busy,” he replied.

As long as she needs me, I’ll make time even if I’m busy.

Taking out his phone, he sent a text message to his assistant, asking the latter to delay his morning meeting by half an hour.

“Sophie, if you really need me to be there, I can attend the shareholders’ meeting with you.”

“It’s all right. I just don’t want to go in so early and see the others, that’s all.”

“Okay.”

Thus, they sat in the car for more than ten minutes. Seeing that it was almost time, Sophie got out of the car.

“Thank you so much for today,” she said before leaving.

Tristan alighted from the car, grabbed her hand, and pulled her into his embrace.
