Chapter 17 Never Seen Him Before
The moment Sophie went out of school, Butterfly called.“What's up?”“Are you at Jipsdale?” Butterflyasked. She had not seen Phantom in person ever since the establishment of Wings of Light. Nowthat she was at Jipsdale, naturally, she wanted to meet the young woman."Yes.” It was not as ifSophie was planning to hide from anyone.”Let's meet, then!” Butterfly excitedly cried out."Why?" Isthere a need for us to meet each other?”"I want to meet you! I've already seen the other membersof Wings of Light. You're the only one left. I doubt you know about this, but everyone's curiousabout you.”"I'm just an ordinary person.””F*ck, Phantom. You're telling me that you're an ordinaryperson? Phantom who topped the first in the hackers’ ranking is telling me that she’s a normalperson. Are you joking?"“Butterfly, there's a reason for me to be at Jipsdale."Once she was donesettling those matters, she was going to leave."What is it? Do you need our help?” Butterflypromptly asked with concern.The other members of Wings of Light were all concerned about theyoungest but the most impressive member of their organization—Phantom—and Sophie knewthat.“It's fine. I can deal with it myself.”"Phantom, you have to remember that you're not alone. Youhave all of us backing you up.””I'm at Lumen Street. Are you going to come?”“All right, I'll be rightthere. Send me your location.”I'm about to finally meet Phantom. The others must be jealous!Sophiehad been staying at a café on Lumen Street, which provided laptops to their patrons, ever since shecame out of school.She turned on the laptop and logged into her email account before reading herrecent emails.One of the emails was from Arius Gullifer.He asked her about when she was going tothe international medical association. Sophie replied to the email saying that she had not made upher mind yet.Just as she was done with the emails, Butterfly arrived. The moment she entered thecafé, she spotted Sophie.Even though they had not met before, Butterfly instantly recognizedher.”Phantom, it's me, Butterfly.” Butterfly took a seat opposite Sophie.lt was then Sophie raised herhead to look at the speaker.”Just call me Sophie.” After all, it was best to avoid calling her Phantomin reality.”Sophie, how long are you planning to stay at Jipsdale? I have an assignment that I needyour help with.”"What is it? Can you all not deal with it?" Sophie was not planning to take on anyassignments for a while."Here's the thing. Dr. Yarren's missing. Do you know Dr. Yarren?"“Are youtalking about the Dr. Yarren from the Academy of Sciences?"“That's right; that's him. He has a crucialtechnology with him right now."I see. I understand. I'll do it."“But the payment for this assignmentisn't high.” Or, at least, thirty million was a small sum in comparison with the amount that the majorcompanies offered to Sophie to get her to join them.“It's fine.” Hacking was a hobby. Earning moneyfrom that hobby was merely an added benefit."Is that all about work? Say, why have you come toJipsdale? Do you really not need our help?" really don’t."Right then, Sophie’s phone rang.”Whereare you?” came Tristan's voice from the speakers the moment Sophie picked up the call.“I'm atLumen Street. What's the matter? Did something happen?” Sophie was confused by the call. DoesTristan have that much time on his hands?“It's nothing. I'm going to come to you now. Don't goanywhere.”"Who is that?” Butterfly curiously asked.”A friend's uncle,” Sophie replied after a momentof thought.“Uncle?” Her friend's uncle shouldn't be that young. With that thought in mind, sheadded, “Phantom, you have to be careful. Some older men like young girls like you..””I know."" Whatdo you know? Forget it. No one will dare to be mean to you with us around. As long as you're inJipsdale, you can lord over anyone.”*Butterfly, why didn't I realize that you're so humorous in thepast?”Hearing that, Butterfly, who felt that she was too old to be called cute at the age of twenty-five, turned red in the face.”All right, since you have a friend who's coming over, I'll take my leavefirst. I'll send you the details of Dr. Yarren's matter. You can go right ahead to the state office to lookfor the police captain.” They had to work with the people from the state office as well.“Okay."Notlong after Butterfly left, Tristan arrived and sat opposite her.”How are you feeling? Do you want togo to the hospital?”“I'm fine. Mr. Tristan, are you really that free?"*It appears that I am. What'swrong? Is someone bullying you?"*I'm the bully. Who would dare to tread on my toes?” Sophie said,unintentionally showing her true colors.”The doctor has asked you to get proper rest for now, so it'sbest that you heed his advice."Tristan had been in a rush to come to her, but the moment he sawher, the sense of urgency dissipated.He then ordered a cup of coffee."How are you in JipsdalePremier High? Fitting in fine?""Not bad."Sophie was completely unperturbed by Queenie and hergang.Hearing that, Tristan turned on a laptop, about to work from there Both were attractive people—one carried an air of elegance, while the other was a beautiful young woman. Their presence inthe small café caught the attention of many.Tristan did not deliberately try to continue theconversation. Instead, he would chat with her a little once in a while, and somehow, his wordsenticed her.Sophie did not mind Tristan staying by her side After a round of her game, her phonerang.”What's the matter, Grandpa?"“Soph! Can you come home for dinner tonight? Didn't youpromise me that you'll come back once a week?" Josiah was rather upset that, even though he hadgotten her back from Horington, he still rarely saw her."Tonight?"“What is it? Can't you even have ameal with your grandpa?“All right. I'll come home tonight.”“You'd better.” Josiah then told her afew reminders before ending the call.”"Who was it?” Tristan was curious. It was his first time seeingher so meek.“My grandpa,” was all she said. She did not wish to say anything else to him, for she didnot want anyone to intervene in the Tanner family's affairs.Sophie then began packing her things.The Tanner residence in Jipsdale was a distance away from the café, and the drive there would takeover an hour."Let me send you there,” Tristan offered.Sophie did not reject him and left the caféwith him.That day, Tristan was driving a silver Lamborghini. The figure of the car was particularlysmooth, and its mere presence was attracting the attention of many passersby. When thosepassersby realized that the owner of the car was an extremely handsome man, some women felt theurge to approach him. Unfortunately, the look on Tristan’s face was extremely stern so no one daredto actually come close to him.Tristan then opened the door to the front passenger seat for Sophie.Once she was inside, he closed the door for her. In other words, he was a perfect gentleman.Thatmade the women around the car turned green with envy.”If only I was that woman!” one saidwistfully.”Did you look at yourself in the mirror? She's young and pretty!” another retorted,
thinking, There are few in Jipsdale who can be a match for her'Meanwhile, Willow, who wasshopping with her friends, noticed the commotion.Why haven't I seen this man before?
