Chapter 106 Mesmerizing Beauty
"Who is that girl? Why does Mr. Tristan allow her direct access to the ninetieth floor?"âExactly! Even
his mother has to call him before she's allowed to go up.ââGiven her age, can she be Mr. Tristanâs
niece?ââHow is that possible? How would his niece have Tanner as a surname?ââSo? Is she supposed
to be his girlfriend? But I have never heard that he has one. Don't you dare give me a shock like
that."Ysabelle and Sophie followed Tristan into the CEO's private elevator. Ysabelle was disappointed
because she didn't see Felix around.âUncle Tristan, where's Felix? Isn't he with you?â Ysabelle finally
got the burning question off her chest."Oh, he didn't come to the office today.â Even though Felix
stayed by his side to gain experience, there were many times the former had to deal with the
Northley familyâs affairs.âReally?â Ysabelle expressed her doubt. âSo be it. I want to see how long he
can stay angry for."After she had painstakingly made the decision to come here, he ended up being
absent. With that, Ysabelle decided she couldn't be bothered anymore.âSoph, I'm not feeling well,
and I'll head back first. You should stay for lunch.â The moment they came out of the elevator,
Ysabelle decided to go back."What? Weren't you fine just a moment ago? Why are you feeling
under the weather all of a sudden? In that case, I had better go with you.âIt would be so weird for
me to eat with Tristan here alone.âYou should have lunch with Uncle Tristan. I'm taking my leave.â
Before Sophie could react, Ysabelle reentered the elevator and pressed the button for the
lobby.Subsequently, the elevator doors closed in front of her.So, what's going to happen now?âLet's
eat,â Tristan suggested, leaving Sophie no choice but to follow him.After leading her to his private
suite, Tristan laid the food she brought out on the table.As Ysabelle had bought enough food for
four, Sophie and Tristan were shocked to see how much there was.âLetâs dig in. After that, you can
even take a nap,â Tristan said. No matter how busy senior year is, an afternoon nap is still
important.After taking her seat, Sophie began to eat.Nevertheless, there was no way they were able
to finish the huge amount of food in front of them.At the same time, Tristan obviously knew that the
food was from Pegasus Pavilion after tasting it.Once they were done with lunch, Sophie wanted to
leave, as she had no idea what she was even doing there.Tristan then handed her a glass of water
after clearing the table. Meanwhile, Sophie felt tired and sluggish after having spent the entire night
helping Butterfly resolve an issue.When he saw how sleepy she was, Tristan suggested, âWhy donât
you get some sleep? I'll wake you at two.â think I should go.â"Just take a nap. I'll send you back
later."Without protesting any further, Sophie easily found her way to the bedroom and lay down on
Tristanâs bed.The room was designed with a minimalistic theme, while the bed sheets were jet black
in color. Upon lying down, Sophie could instantly feel how comfortable the luxurious fabric was.For
some inexplicable reason, she felt that the black sheets were part of Tristanâs unique taste.Before
she knew it, she had gradually fallen into a deep sleep on Tristanâs bed.When he entered the room
and saw how soundly she was sleeping, Tristan was filled with a sudden sense of satisfaction.At that
moment, Sophie was curled up in bed without her school jacket on. She had taken off her jacket
before she napped.When he saw the grimace on her face, Tristan furrowed his brows. What's she
dreaming about?Walking over, Tristan kneeled by the bed and held her hand.With his other hand,
he gently patted her on the shoulder.Sophie, who was having a nightmare, gradually calmed down.
The painful look on her face was then replaced by a blissful smile. Tristan stayed by her side for a
long while.It wasn't until he was sure she was sleeping better that he got up from the bed and
observed her.In that instant, he was filled with an overwhelming sense of contentment just from
watching her sleep.Sophie, too, didn't expect that she was able to sleep that soundly.By the time she
was awake, it was already half-past three. Walking out of the bedroom, she saw Tristan working in
the living room.Given how engrossed he was with work, Sophie didnt feel like disturbing him and
planned to slip out quietly. In the end, he looked up before she could even take two steps.âCome
here."For some inexplicable reason, Sophie had never liked to be ordered around.Nevertheless, she
quietly obeyed his words at that very moment.When Tristan extended his hand toward her, she gave
him a baffled look, which elicited a delightful smile from him.Before she knew it, he pulled her over
to sit by his side."Donât worry. I've already applied for leave on your behalf. There's no need for you
to return to class in the afternoon.â"Didnât you promise to wake me? Why didn't you?â Sophie had
just woken up from a nap. Her languid voice was tinged with sensuality. Tristan couldn't help but pull
her into his embrace and plant a kiss on her cheek."You're so irresistible."When Sophie looked up at
him, he could feel his being gravitate toward her.Pulling her closer, he gave her lips a kiss.By the
time Sophie gathered her senses, she stared at him in surprise.âMr. Tristan.ââDon't let other men
touch you, for it will drive me mad.âHe had initially wanted to give her more time, but whatever self-
control he had would always falter in front of her.Sophie blushed, her cheeks and ears turning as
red as a tomato.Enchanted by her coy response, Tristan was delighted.Sophie gave him a look
before wanting to get off him.Whoever comes in and sees us will definitely get the wrong idealâLet
go of me."Sophie began to worry, cognizant of Tristanâs naughty intentions.In spite of that, he had
always treated her with respect, causing her to forget that there was an uncompromising beast
underneath that facade of the man.Tristan kept her locked in his embrace.âDo you hear me? I have
no desire to wait any longer, as there are just too many men around you.âWith so many men
coveting her, he was worried about losing her to someone else."No. What gives you the right to
demand something like that from me?âHer response intensified his refusal to release
her.âSophie..."Nonetheless, all he could do was sigh in the face of her defiance. After all, he couldn't
even bring himself to raise his voice at her. Left without a choice, he personally walked her out.As it
was still within office hours, the office was filled with staff coming and going. The sight of Tristan
escorting a girl in a school uniform in a protective manner triggered mass envy among the female
employees of the company.Coincidentally, Charles, with Winter in tow, had arrived at Lombard
Group to hand a document over to Tristan. Much to their surprise, they ran into Sophie and Tristan,
who were on their way out. When Winter saw that both of them had come down from the ninetieth
floor, her expression drastically changed.Even I have never set foot in there. And yet, Sophie gets to
access it with such ease?"No wonder you left even though the dishes had already been served. I
knew it had to be because of Sophie.â Charles couldn't resist teasing him.
