Pursuing Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 996

“Oh,” Sophie uttered when she saw them.

“I’ll pick you up later. Give me a call when you’re done Tristan said.

“All right. You should go about your work now!” Sophie responded. As the CEO of Lombard Group, Tristan must be a busy man. Yet, he’s always attending to me.

After Tristan left, Arius approached Sophie and wrapped his arm around Sophie’s shoulder. “Sophie, what’s the progress on the matter I asked you to help me solve? You haven’t even looked at it, have you? Have you been too busy going on dates?”

“I’ll take a look at it later. There was nothing I could do because there wasn’t a lab in Fandar,” Sophie replied. Due to the environment in Fandar, my hands were tied.

Arius was walking Sophie in with an arm over her shoulder.

Georgina was watching them, but she knew she couldn’t say anything about it. I know they’re as close as siblings are, but I’m being left alone at the back. It sucks to watch them interact so intimately.

Right then, Sophie turned her head and noticed the disappointed look on Georgina’s face.

Hence, she shoved Arius hand away. “Keep your hands to yourself. You have a girlfriend now. From now on, you ought to behave yourself, she advised. Women are more emotionally sensitive. Although nothing is going on between Arius and me, we should still keep our distance.

“I’m not overthinking it, Sophie. I know you guys are close. Don’t change because of me,” Georgina responded. I love Arius, so I want him to be happy

Despite hearing those words, Sophie proceeded to pull Georgina in and toward Arius’ embrace.

“All right. Let’s keep walking!” Sophie said. I don’t like seeing Georgina looking so dejected.

Arius wrapped his arms around Georgina and uttered straightforwardly, “My love, I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have left you behind. Don’t worry! It won’t happen again. In my heart, you’re a lot more important than Sophie.

Georgina was rendered speechless. Did he have to say that? That sounded so sweet, though!

Sophie got busy as soon as she entered the lab, so she left her phone unattended. Because of that, she didn’t notice that Victor had been calling her nonstop.

After she was done solving Arius’ problem, she sent the report to Arius and checked her phone. Why did Victor call me so many times? Something must be up.

With that in mind, she returned Victor’s call immediately.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t get through to him.

A crease appeared between Sophie’s brows. What’s going on? Victor is pretty capable, so there shouldn’t be a problem. What on earth happened?

Worried, Sophie took off her lab coat and walked toward the exit. Coincidentally, Arius had just seen the report and was on his way to see her. That was when he saw her walking out. “What’s the matter? Didn’t you just arrive? Are you leaving already?” he asked.

“I have something urgent to deal with. If you still have questions for me, wait for my return!” Sophie didn’t have time to chat with him.

“Oh, I see! Do you need my help?” he offered.

“That won’t be necessary!”

Arius didn’t respond to that. All right, then. Since she always has her hands full, perhaps I should just get on with my tasks. Still, she had only arrived this morning and had already helped me solve my problem. She sure works incredibly fast! How can the difference between one human and another be so big?

Upon leaving the medical association, Sophie took a taxi to Tanner Group.

The employees at Tanner Group hadn’t seen her in a while because Victor was usually in charge of the office.
