Chapter 402
If Tristan continued to stay single, William would start wondering if there was something wrong with his son.
Tristan was rendered speechless.
“No matter what, you must meet them tonight. I've already promised them.’’ At William's age, nothing else mattered as much as his children's health and happiness.
“I can't go tonight as I have something to do.”
“You always do. Why are you always so busy? You can never earn enough money.” William strongly disagreed with his son's point of view.
“Dad, I'll say this once more. You don't have to stick your nose into my business. I can handle it myself. Instead of causing someone else trouble, I'd rather stay unmarried for the rest of my life if I can't meet someone I like.”
“What are you talking about? What do you mean you'd rather stay unmarried for the rest of your life? How can you do that?” William was furious. “Tell me. Do you have a girlfriend already?” If not, you wouldn't be so hesitant like this. It's just a regular meeting. Isn't it a trivial matter?
“I know what to do.”
“What do you mean you know what to do? I'm telling you, you must bring your girlfriend to meet me if you already have one.” Why do you never take me seriously? I'm the head of the family here.
“That's enough. You should go travel with some friends if you have nothing to do.”
“Do you think I'm being nosy now?”
When Sophie arrived at the ninetieth floor, she was stopped by the secretary.
"Is Tristan still in a meeting?”
Sophie had just ended her sentence when the door to the CEO's office swung open. William exited the office, and Tristan was right behind him.
With how sharp William's eyes were and the fact that Sophie was never a lady whose presence could be easily ignored, the former stopped in his tracks upon seeing her.
He proceeded to say, “Hello, young lady. What's your name, and why are you here?”
Sophie was stunned. Great. I can't believe I just bumped into Old Mr. Lombard. If I had known earlier that he was here, I wouldn't have come.
Suddenly, an idea occurred to Sophie, and she held up the coffee she was holding. “I'm here to deliver coffee.”
William glanced at Tristan. A coffee delivery? Is there no coffee available in Lombard Group? Is buying coffee from a shop outside necessary?
Sophie quickly passed the coffee to the secretary. “Sorry for the late delivery.”
The secretary accepted the coffee that was being handed to her and didn't know how to react.
After saying her piece, Sophie turned around and walked away.
“It's a pity for a young lady with such a pretty face to be delivering coffee,” William said after letting out a sigh.
Hearing that, Tristan was at a loss for words.
It was Sophie's first time meeting William.
After getting downstairs, she went to have a seat at the cafe opposite the company building and ordered a cup of coffee for herself.
She sat there until Tristan called her.
“Where are you? My dad has gone home. I'll come and meet up with you.”
“I'm at a cafe opposite your company. It's called Peninsula Cafe.”
“All right. Stay there. I'll come look for you now.”
Sophie waited for Tristan there.
Ten minutes later, Tristan appeared at Peninsula Cafe.
“I'm sorry. I shouldn't have come looking for you without calling you first.” He has always refused to let me meet Old Mr. Lombard. This time, it's indeed my fault for being so careless.
“What are you talking about? Were you startled? I didn't introduce you to Dad yet because I'm afraid he'll make things difficult for you. Don't overthink it.”
