Chapter 69 You Love A Crowd
The next second, the man tried to make a move on Sophie, only to have her grab his hand.
“I told you to get lost. Did you not hear that?” Sophie snapped. She had never been a patient person, but unfortunately, her appearance always made her look meek and vulnerable.
Alas, the man wasn’t about to give up on his lewd advances. “Come on, missy. I’m really amazing in bed!”
“What are you doing?” Letitia suddenly shouted as she glared at the nosy Sophie. “I had my eyes on him first.”
The latter arched her brows. My goodness. This girl sure is an odd duck!
“Fine. In that case, sorry for bothering you,” Sophie muttered before letting go of the man’s hand and returning to her seat.
As luck would have it, Felix entered the bar at that moment. “Wait a minute. Are my eyes deceiving me? That’s Sophie, isn’t it?”
Upon hearing that, Tristan hurried over to take a look for himself. Ah, he’s right. That is Sophie.
She had worn a sleeveless sequin dress, and her long hair was draped sensually over her shoulders.
As she sat on the swivel chair with her legs crossed, there was no doubt many men would have had the temptation to take her home.
Naturally, Winter had also noticed Sophie. After all, Charles had arranged the party at Nocturnal for her so they could celebrate the success of her new perfume.
“Well, well, well. Who’d have thought that a high school student would take a shine to Nocturnal? Then again, who wouldn’t be dazzled by the resplendence here? I suppose it’s even more exciting for Ms. Tanner since she had spent time in a place like Horington,” Winter scoffed. “That said, don’t you think she’s dressed a little too provocatively?”
In all honesty, Winter hated seeing Sophie near her. No matter where the latter showed up, she’d immediately steal all the limelight, and Winter would no longer be the center of attention.
“Watch your words, Winter,” Charles warned.
What’s the use of making these comments anyway? The more she says, the more she’ll seem rude.
Winter shrugged.
“I’m not suggesting anything. I just don’t think it’s safe for a young lady to come to a place like Noctural alone.”
Felix was instantly rendered speechless. I can’t believe she’s shameless enough to say that! It’s wild enough that she’d be worried about something untoward happening to Sophie.
“You guys can go over first,” Tristan ordered, his expression cold and stoic.
Deep down, however, he was fuming.
Sophie’s outfit was way too attractive, and several men in the bar were checking her out.
That, without a doubt, made Tristan very uncomfortable. All he wanted was to gouge out the eyes of anyone who had the gall to look at her.
“Mr. Tristan…” Winter said before her voice trailed off. She was worried that Tristan might leave, but after seeing his expression, she decided to hold her tongue and walk to their private room.
The next second, Tristan marched to Sophie and sat next to her. Like her, his long legs were just as alluring.
Having detected movement behind her, Sophie turned around and immediately came face to face with Tristan.
“Mr. Tristan, have you installed a tracking device on me?” she mused with a raised eyebrow.
“Thanks for reminding me. I really should do that,” Tristan answered. It’s her fault for always playing with danger and making people worry.
Instead of answering him, Sophie decided to change the topic.
“Why are you here?”
“It’s for Winter’s celebration party. We’re in the same private room as last time. Are you alone?”
“Yes, I am,” Sophie replied before glancing at Letitia.
From the looks of it, I guess she has chosen to sink into the depths of depravity. I’ll have to find some other time to negotiate with her. Letitia is the key to saving Transfix Cosmetics, but I know it won’t be easy to get the truth from her.
“Join me then!”
“It’s okay. I’m leaving in a bit. Besides, I’m not familiar with Ms. Quigley. I don’t think it’d be nice to crash the party,” Sophie explained. More importantly, I know Winter’s not going to like me.
“It’s fine. We’ll only stay for a while, and I’ll send you home.”
“All right, then!”
