Changing only for her (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 850

Chapter 850 Flirt

That was why Ophelia thought the only person who could stand beside Tristan and help him in his career was herself.

She had also tried to give up on him but could not. Tristan would always appear in her dreams.

He would even appear in her wet dreams.

Naturally, Ophelia could not tell anyone else about those dreams of hers. However, she thought she could give it a go at pursuing Tristan.

Perhaps she could even become the person that he cherished most.

“Sorry, I still have something else to do. Ophelia, you only need to keep things in order at the branch office. No need to think about anything else.”

Ophelia was an open book, and Tristan was no fool.

Regardless, he only had eyes for one person. He would not give other women even the slightest chance to pursue him.

He would not allow it, even if it were merely an unrequited love.

“Mr. Tristan, we'll just be having a meal together. Is that not even allowed?” Ophelia was disappointed to be rejected by the person she liked so much.

“Ms. Summers, please be mindful of your position,” Tristan reminded coldly.

Ophelia tidied the things on the table before she stood up.

“I'm sorry for crossing the line, Mr. Tristan. I promise not to make the same mistake again.”

With that, Ophelia left.

Jeez! Mr. Tristan won't give anyone else a chance! He must really love Sophie!

When Ophelia left the room, another manager approached her and said, “Ophelia, I told you so. Mr. Tristan won't fall for you. Just agree to be with me!”

Ophelia glared at him.

“It's my problem whether or not Mr. Tristan likes me. It doesn't have anything to do with you,” Ophelia replied.

“What are you being so stubborn for? You already know there will never be a happy ending for the two of you, yet you won't give up.”

“That's my business. You have no right to tell me how I should handle my personal affairs.” With that, Ophelia returned to her office.

After entering her office, she slumped onto her desk.

She felt horrible.

She knew Tristan only wanted her for her skills. Hence, she worked hard to get acknowledged by him.

However, no matter how hard she worked, she could never have a place in Tristan's heart.

Ophelia was jealous of Sophie. The latter did not need to do anything to receive everything Ophelia had dreamt of acquiring.

Meanwhile, Sophie took off her earphones when she noticed everyone in the conference room had left. She picked up the cup on the table and was about to take a sip when Tristan stopped her.

“The water's gone cold. Don't drink it. I'll have someone pour you a new cup.” The weather was getting warmer, but she was still prohibited from having cold drinks.

Tristan believed women should pay more attention to such things.

Sophie waved her hand in response.

“Is everything settled?” The meeting had been about the internal affairs of Lombard Group. Although she was in the conference room, she did not listen to the conversation.

“Yeah, everything is settled. Ms. Tanner, thank you for accompanying me this afternoon. We can go back now.”

“Okay.”

Sophie got up. Tristan wrapped his arm around her waist as they left the room together.

This was not Sophie's first time at the branch office, but it was some employees' first time seeing her.

“Is that Mr. Tristan's girlfriend? She's so pretty!”

“Exactly! She's more beautiful than my angel!”

“Stop the exaggeration. Who are you calling your angel? You're so shameless!”

Ophelia knew Tristan was about to leave, so she got out of her office, only to hear the employees whispering about Sophie's beauty.

“Did Lombard Group hire you to come and gossip? Get back to work!” Ophelia scolded.

Beautiful? Other than her face, can she even be compared to me? Can she even help Mr. Tristan manage a company?

The women that had been whispering to each other moments ago exchanged glances. Ophelia got angrier when she noticed they had not left to resume work.

“I'm warning you, ladies. If you are not capable of doing your jobs, then you can leave right now.” Ophelia was in a bad mood, causing her words to be harsh.

The women hurried back to their posts.

However, they were still outraged by Ophelia's attitude.

They created a messaging group to discuss it.

One of them texted: What's up with Ms. Summers today? She usually isn't such a harsh person. She was so fierce just now!

Someone replied: Don't you know? Ms. Summers likes Mr. Tristan, but he doesn't like her. That's why she's angry.

Someone else replied: To be honest, if you were Mr. Tristan, who would you choose? Mr. Tristan's girlfriend is beautiful, but she's like a trophy wife. As for Ms. Summers, she's a capable woman who can work hard alongside Mr. Tristan at work.

Another person texted: Who would I choose? How can you be so naive? Only a child would make choices. If I were Mr. Tristan, wouldn't it be better to just date both of them? With his status and position, having dozens of women is perfectly normal.

Meanwhile, Tristan left the branch office of Lombard Group with Sophie.

Ophelia ran out and saw how gentle Tristan was as he helped Sophie into the car, not daring to approach him again.

She was afraid that if she crossed the line one more time, she would be unable to protect her position in the company.

Why is it so tiring to like a person?

More importantly, she was frustrated that Tristan did not appreciate her feelings for him.

After returning to the hotel, Sophie read through the report Barney had sent her, signing it when she confirmed there were no problems.

“We can finally get ready to leave this place,” Sophie said in relief. Everything here is pretty much settled.

“Okay. I'm ready when you are.”

Sophie gripped the man's chin and stared at him with a cheeky grin.

“Mr. Tristan, don't you know that acting like that makes me want to bully you?”

Tristan was rendered speechless.

“I'll just lie down and let you bully me then. You can do whatever you want to me. Is that okay?” Tristan answered.

It was Sophie's turn to be speechless.

All right, then! As expected, it's not easy to take advantage of Mr. Tristan. He has a way with words.

“Tell me. How do you plan on bullying me? I'll give you my full cooperation. Do you want to roleplay? What kind of character excites you?”

“You're getting more and more ridiculous.”

Sophie wrapped her arms around his waist.

It's so nice to have a man that cooperates with me well. I don't care what we face in the future as long as he's by my side.

Meanwhile, Marcus received news that Sophie and the others were about to leave the country.

“Mr. President, we can't let them leave at such a crucial moment. Otherwise, things will get more chaotic in Anglandur.”

Although a drug had been developed to cure the virus, everyone was still worried.

Everyone's focus was now on Barney. If he left, chaos would ensue.

“What do you think we should do? Do you think I'll be able to stop him from leaving?” Marcus threw a fit. Naturally, he knew it would be best if those people did not leave then. What he needed now was a plan to stop them.
