Chapter 53 In His ArmsTristan instantly furrowed his brows, evidently upset.âExcuse me.""Yes, mister?
What can I do for you?""Bring a new plate for me.â"Everyone was rendered speechless. So, he's still a
germaphobe; heâs just fine with Sophie.Winter's face turned purple with rage. Does he hate me that
much? Besides, I was using a new fork!âMs. Tanner, I heard that you have good grades. Did you rank
second in grades?â Sean abruptly mentioned.âIt's just average.â"Ha,â Winter sneered. That's nothing
to be proud of. She's just a nerd.âMs. Tanner, you're quite good with your words. Maybe you can
think about studying law. If you actually do that, you can come and work at Burtonsâ Law Firm."The
best lawyer from the best law firm in the country was offering her a place in his company.Winter
frowned. When did Sean become such a bootlicker? Isn't Burtons' Law Firm the hardest place to get
into? It's a hundred times more challenging than the examination for civil servant job
applications."Thank you for the offer, but I'm not interested in becoming a lawyer,â came Sophia's
reply.âIt's still a while before the start of the university entrance exam. You can take your time to
consider this.âIt was the first time the others had heard so many words from Sean.âOkay.""Ms.
Tanner, there's a revolution going on in your company. I wonder what thoughts you have about
that?â There were many women who looked pretty, but there were few who had a brain. Winter felt
that she was the latter, for she handled her perfumery business well, and that was why she looked
down on Sophie.âNothing much.â"Ha,â Winter gleefully chuckled. I knew it. She's nothing but a
bimbo!âWinter, I'm the main character of the day. Why are you so focused on Soph?â Ysabelle was
well aware that Winter was targeting Sophie. If it wasn't for Charles, she would have flipped the
table in fury.âSorry. I'll down a glass to right my wrong,â Winter said as she picked up a glass, feeling
much better.With that ongoing mess in the Tanner family, I'm sure Sophie isn't living her best life
right now. As long as sheâs unhappy, I'm happy.âFinish your milk.â Tristan handed Sophie the glass
of milk.Sophie sighed in exasperation, but she still took the glass from him.After all, he was doing
that for her sake, and she figured she could not embarrass him like that. Winter scoffed in disdain at
the sight of Sophie's meek demeanor. She's just Tristanâs pet. He'll get sick of her eventually. If she's
not cunning enough, she won't survive in our social circle After the meal, they went to the most
famous bar in Jipsdale called Nocturnal.Ysabelle was not of age back then, so they never brought
her to places like Nocturnal. However, now that she was finally of age, she insisted on going to the
bar.Sean and Charles walked in the front while Felix and Ysabelle were behind them. After those four
were Tristan and Sophie, with Winter walking last.She could not help but clench her fists at the sight
of the two in front of her.If it wasn't for Sophie, I would have been the one beside Tristan.Once they
were inside Nocturnal, Felix and Ysabelle went and sit on a two-seater couch while Sean sat in an
armchair.The couch Sophie and Tristan sat on was the middle three-seater couch. When Winter saw
that there was space left on the couch, she tried to take a seat beside Tristan. However, Charles
pulled her away to sit beside him.âCharles, what are you doing?â I didn't even do anything
yet!"Donât make Mr. Tristan mad. You won't be able to bear the consequences.âIn fact, I don't think
anyone in Jipsdale is able to bear the consequences of angering him.Winter did not want to admit
defeat, but she was afraid of actually infuriating Tristan.Naturally, Nocturnal's manager knew who
these people were. Thus, he arranged the best seats for them.Then, he hired the best bartender to
serve them.âMister, please make me the best cocktail."This bartender is so handsome!âOf course, my
lady."With that, the bartender began whipping up a cocktail for her. Indeed, he was the best
bartender in Nocturnal. His moves were suave, and the glass was flying from one of his hands to the
other. The very sight of his performance kept everyone on the edge of their seats, and the ending
them them cheer as well.âHere you go, miss.â The bartender handed a colorful cocktail to
Ysabelle After taking a sip of the cocktail, Ysabelle immediately gave the bartender a thumbs-up.The
bartender then made a cocktail for everyone.âHurry up! Let's hurry over there before the seats run
out!"âI'm so excited! I came here to see my favorite celebrity today!"âMe too!"âMarkâs my favorite
singer! I heard that he frequently sings in this bar!"âWill he be singing today?"âNo, heâs here as the
DJ today."It's Mark, my favorite singer! I can't believe I'll be able to see him here today."Ysabelle
was thrilled.âSoph, why donât we go over there to take a look?"âSure.âSophie got to her feet and
went with Ysabelle to see her favorite singer.âI'll head there too.â Tristan stood up.âMe too.â What
the hell? Isn't Ysabelle a little too happy to hear Mark's name?Alarm bells were ringing in Felix's
head.âCount me in,â Winter said as she stood up. She had decided to follow Tristan wherever he
went. After all, if it wasn't for him, she would not be there at all. Mark was already on the stage, and
he was dressed in an oversized black T-shirt and a pair of black distressed jeans.His getup was
simple, but the simplicity of his clothes made his ear stud even more eye-catching.As he remixed
the song, he swayed his body to the beat.He was only moving his body to the rhythm, but his fans
were screaming until their throats were sore below the stage.Ysabelle kept trying to squeeze her
way to the front. Meanwhile, Felix, who was afraid that those crazed fans would hurt Ysabelle, kept
his arms spread out to protect her.âSoph, come over quickly!â Ysabelle cried out upon reaching the
innermost of the crowd.Sophie had no choice but to squeeze her way into the crowd as Tristan
shielded her in his arms.The further they went into the crowd, the less space there was.Hence,
Tristan ended up wrapping his arms around Sophie so that no one could touch her.Finally, Sophie
reached Ysabelle.Winter came with them, and she tried to follow them in. Sadly, she only managed
to take a few steps into the crowd before she ended up getting pushed out of the
crowd."You!"Winter was furious. What a bunch of uncivilized girls!She tried to enter the crowd
again, but a plump young woman pushed her to the ground.Winter landed on her bottom, and pain
shot up her body from the fall.She jumped to her feet, ready to lose her temper at the other young
woman, but her voice was drowned out by the screams of the girls around her. Everyone ignored
her.In the meantime, Tristan was still holding onto Sophie.He was not interested in Mark, so his
attention was on the people around them. He was not planning to let anyone, regardless of whether
they were a man or a woman, come into contact with Sophie.âAh! I'm so happy today! Mark, I love
you!"Felix pursed his lips upon hearing Ysabelle's screams.âI'm going to ask for an autograph later.â
In the blink of an eye, Ysabelle had turned into a happy fan who was eager to meet her favorite
celebrity.Not long after, the song ended.Mark turned around to whisper something to the host, and
the host beamed upon hearing his words.âLadies and gentlemen, you're in luck tonight. Mark has
said that he would like to sing a song to thank you all for your enthusiasm. However, he has asked
to work with a lucky fan.â
