Chapter 334

“Besides, do you think anyone’s going to abandon someone as amazing as me?” Tristan asked.

Speculations ran through Felix’s mind when he heard that. That’s hard to say! If it’s someone else, they

may hold onto you tightly. However, when it comes to Sophie, nothing is certain. She’s a difficult person

to grasp.

“I’m not wasting my time talking to you anymore. I’m heading over to pick them up,” Tristan informed

after checking the time and realizing that Sophie’s and Ysabelle’s class at half past two was about to

start soon.

Hah. He acts as though he isn’t worried, yet he’s in such a rush. Felix said, “I’ll go with you, Mr. Tristan.

It’s been more than a week since I last saw Ysabelle, too.”

He really did quite miss her.

“No, you’re not. You need to check this case first!” Tristan proceeded to hand him a folder before

leaving.

Once again, Felix was left in the wind. Mr. Tristan’s so mean! Not only did he force me to do his job so

that he could meet his girlfriend, but he also forbade me from seeing the person I like!

“Mr. Tristan—” Before he could get any more words out, he received a reply in the form of the door

slamming shut.

It was already two in the afternoon, so Sophie had to leave. Otherwise, she would be late. Therefore,

after she talked about a few more things with The Wheelers, she stepped out of the studio.

“I’ll send you two back.” Mark followed her out. While his band needed to rush the album’s progress, he

knew it wasn’t easy for someone to hail a taxi in that area. As such, he was worried about the girls’

safety.

“No need. We can ride a taxi back to school. You should return to the recording.”

“Then I’ll walk you both out. I’ll return after seeing the two of you leave in a taxi,” Mark insisted.

Sunny couldn’t help but sigh when he saw that. He still can’t let it go, huh? What a shame. Mark and

Sophie would make for a good couple if not for Tristan’s existence. This Tristan is… Ugh… Even I have

no idea how to make of this situation.

When the girls and Mark walked out of the studio, they saw Tristan’s car parked at the side of the road.

Mark didn’t say anything when he saw Tristan.

“Since someone’s already here to pick you up, I’ll be heading back upstairs now.” Mark left before

Sophie could say anything.

Seeing him like that made Ysabelle’s heart ache.

“Mark’s so pitiful, Sophie. He must really like you,” she commented. Sadly for him, his love won’t come

to fruition.

“Let’s not talk about this anymore.” Sophie believed nothing was certain when it came to feelings.

Tristan opened the door for the girls when he saw them. “Get in. Otherwise, you two won’t make it in

time.”

Ysabelle sat in the back while Sophie sat in the passenger seat.

“I thought you were busy? Why do you have time to drive here?” Sophie was aware of how busy

Tristan should be lately. After all, Lombard Group had a big case not too long ago. Many people were

trying to get a slice of the pie.

“It’s not easy to hail a taxi here, so I’ve decided to act as your chauffeur.” No matter how busy he was,

Tristan believed he should take some time to accompany his girlfriend.

Sadly, it seemed that his girlfriend didn’t need his company. There were times when he felt he was just

a pretend boyfriend.

“Thanks!” Sophie expressed her gratitude politely.

Hearing that made Tristan feel even worse. Isn’t it natural for a girlfriend to order her boyfriend around?

Why is she still treating me so politely?

While Ysabelle couldn’t observe the couple’s expressions from behind, she could feel her uncle’s

helplessness from their conversation. With a girlfriend like Sophie, I guess it’s hard not to feel helpless

sometimes.

Soon, the car arrived at Jipsdale Premier High’s entrance with only five minutes left to spare before the

class started.

“We’ll be heading inside now.” With that, Sophie strode into the school.

“Don’t you think Uncle Tristan is rather pitiful, Sophie?” Ysabelle asked.

Sophie stopped in her tracks and turned back to look at her friend. “What makes you say that?”

“You should talk to him for a bit. No matter what, he did come all the way to pick us up and send us

here.”

“All right. You head in first, then. I’ll be with you soon.”

Ysabelle nodded. Now that’s more like it!

Thus, she went into the building while Sophie returned to Tristan. As expected, the man was still there.

“Why did you turn back? Isn’t your class supposed to start soon? Aren’t you afraid of being late?”

Tristan had stayed because he wanted to stare at her a little longer.

“Are you feeling unhappy, Mr. Tristan?” Sophie asked.

“What makes you say that?” A bit of joy danced in his heart. Has my girlfriend finally noticed how I feel?

“Because Ysabelle said so.”

Her words rendered him speechless for a second before he replied, “No, I’m not angry at all. Why

would I be? It’s not like you did anything to evoke that particular emotion in me.”

He’s obviously infuriated. Sophie couldn’t help but gave him a hug. “Don’t overthink it. I’m just too busy

lately.”

All the rage in Tristan’s heart vanished instantly when he got that hug.

He hugged her back tightly. “To be honest, I don’t like how busy you are. You’re so occupied with The

Wheelers lately that you don’t spare any time to come see me.”

“I was there to supervise them, all right? They are my employees now, so I have to take responsibility

for them.”

“But I need you to take responsibility for me, too.”

“Relax, I will.”

“All right, then. You should head inside now. I’ll come and pick you up later.”

“Got it!”

While I still have things to settle with The Wheelers, it has indeed been a while since I spend time with

him. I feel like I’m not doing a good job as a girlfriend. Sophie felt a little guilty when she thought about

that.

After the first class ended, a discussion about Willow came up. It had been a while since students in

Senior Class 8 talked about her.

“Willow is awesome! She actually got into Sky Media!”

“That’s right! Sky Media was the one who initially made The Wheelers famous! They’re considered one

of the most powerful organizations in the entertainment industry!”

“Willow will no doubt become famous working for them!”

“Don’t you have your own agency, Sophie? Willow’s your sister, so why didn’t you let her join your

company?” a bold girl in the class asked.

Having no intention of answering that question, Sophie sprawled on the table and slept.

Just then, Willow passed by Senior Class 8.

She never expected Clayton would want to take her in. Sky Media is a big company! I’m certain I’m

going to be famous! Once I enter film school, he’ll invest in me and cast me as the female lead of a

television show! I bet Sophie didn’t want to hire me because she was afraid I’d become popular!

“You’re amazing, Willa! I can’t believe you managed to get into Sky Media! I’m so jealous!”

“Yeah! I bet your sister didn’t want to sign a contract with you because she’s afraid you’ll become more

famous and outstanding than her!”

Willow’s sidekicks intentionally raised their voices so that the students in Senior Class 8 would hear

them.

Ysabelle couldn’t bear listening to that nonsense anymore and snapped, “Do you have a loose screw in

your head? Are you seriously saying Sophie is jealous of Willow? What does she have that’s worthy of

Sophie’s envy? Who do you lot think she is? So what if she got into Sky Media? TS will no doubt crush

them!” Willow’s a nobody! So why should Sophie sign a contract with her?
