Chapter 49 Change Your Clothes

In the end, Tristan took everything with him.He crossed the room to wake Sophie up. Sophie wokeup feeling much better.”"What are you doing?” she asked with a hoarse voice. Her throat felt soreevery time she talked.”Helping you change.”Sophie didn't respond to him.“Go on. Take off your wetpajama first."Sophie didn't do as he demanded and merely stared at him coldly."What's the matter?”Tristan didn't think there was anything wrong with his request.”Do you always flirt with girls like this,Mr. Tristan?"“I don't have to do anything. I just stand there and women will flock to me. I neverneeded to flirt."Sophie was speechless at his answer."Fine. Seeing as you're feeling much better,change into these yourself, then come down for lunch."Tristan left the room after that. Sophie finallyswung her gaze from Tristan to the clothing he brought her. It was her pajama and lingerie.Shecould feel the heat on her face, thinking about how he had touched her most intimate articles ofclothing. The always composed Sophie had lost her cool then.Feeling uncomfortable with the sweaton her body, Sophie took a quick shower and changed into a fresh set of clothing.After drying herhair, she finally went downstairs.“Lunch is ready, Ms. Tanner. I'll be heading back now. You can leavethe dirty dishes after you've finished. I'll clean them in the evening when I come over." All

right.” After the housekeeper left, Tristan was still in the study, so Sophie took a seat at the diningtable.Tristan answered a call and told his assistant to reschedule all his meetings that day.He left forthe kitchen after that. At the threshold, he saw Sophie already seated at the dining table. Tristanwalked over and scooped some pasta for her.”You didn't take more than a few bites this morning,so eat more now."Sophie held a fork in her hand and looked at him.”Don“t you have something todo today?"He doesn't have to accompany me.“If you have something to do, you can leave aftereating. I'm feeling much better now.” It wasn't even a big deal. It was just a fever.”I'm freetoday."Collaboration worth billions can't compare to the girl sitting in front of me."Fine then.”Sophiedidn't try to persuade him anymore since he said so."Have some too, Mr. Tristan. Don't just stare atme."Only then did Tristan pick up his spoon, but he didn't start eating. Instead, he started scoopingmore food for her.After he was satisfied that she wouldn't go hungry, he finally dug into his food.The crease on Sophie's forehead deepened with every bite. The food tastes quite blandtoday."What's wrong? Is the food not to your liking? Shall we change the housekeeper?”Sophieshook her head.”It's fine.” This housekeeper is quiet and professional. I feel comfortable when I'mwith her.”I'll just have her add some condiments next time.”“You have the numbers for The Crownand Pegasus Pavilion, so just give them a call for food delivery if you don't like the housekeeper'sfood.””I’'m not that particular.” I'm fine as long as it's filling. I'm not picky with food.After finishinglunch, Sophie couldn't sleep anymore, so she settled onto the couch and watched the

television. Tristan cleaned up the dining table, then took a seat beside her.He gently patted herhead.”I'm fine now.” That's great to hear."Even though it was just a common cold and fever, I wasworried sick when I saw her lying unconscious on the couch. She didn’t even know how worried Iwas. Tristan left in the evening after getting an urgent call. He even ordered her to rest at homebefore he left. After he drove away, Sophie changed her clothes straight away. Ysabelle's birthday istomorrow, and I haven't even bought her a present yet. I was too busy the past few days.Since shehad already taken leave that day, she decided to spend the remaining time buying Ysabelle'spresent. She got on her new bicycle and pedaled her way to Monarch Mall. After a period ofobservation, Sophie had a basic understanding of Ysabelle. A rich girl like her won't lack presents, soreplaceing a suitable gift for her will be challenging.Sophie entered a jewelry store, thinking of pickingsomething out for Ysabelle.Dressed in a plain white t-shirt, black slacks, and canvas shoes didn't getSophie any warm greeting from the sales assistant. The sales assistant merely nodded at Sophiewhen she entered, then pretended she didn't exist.Couldn’t care less about the sales assistant'sattitude, Sophie slowly studied each piece of jewelry on the shelf. Willow and a few of her friendswere out shopping as well. She didn’t have to take any classes on Saturday, because she had artlessons.Yet, one call from Louisa and she skipped her lesson.Louisa loved shopping for luxury goods.The Yarborough family was wealthier than the Tanner family. Moreover, Louisa was the only child ofthe Yarborough family, hence the excessive love and pampering they gave her.A few other girlswere following behind Louisa and Willow. With Louisa’s generosity in gifting the girls small presents,they would agree to her request for an outing every time she asked.They didn't mind carrying theshopping bags for Louisa. Louisa would gift them luxury goods if she was in a good mood."What'swrong with you lately, Willow?"“It's all Sophie's fault,” Willow complained. She never hid anythingfrom Louisa. “You knew she was back, right? Grandpa even gave her the company's shares. It'spointless no matter how hard I try.””It's only twenty percent of the company’s shares. Just marryMason when he gets back. Once you married him, the Tanner family will be nothing to you."Louisawas Mason's cousin. That was why Willow was so close to her.”Oh, cut it. Mason might not even likeme."Mrs. Laird dotes on me, but no one knows how Mason thinks of me."Willow, don't worry somuch. Wasn't Mason quite concerned about you before he left the country? You also have me asyour wing girl."Louisa patted Willow's shoulder reassuringly.“Isn't that the b**ch, Sophie?” Louisa'ssteps paused when she saw Sophie.Willow halted too.“Come on, let's go in and have a look.” Louisaintended to cause trouble for Sophie.At that moment, a bracelet caught Sophie's eyes."Hi, can Ihave a closer look at that bracelet?”“Miss, are you sure you're going to buy it? Our goods arepricey."Sophie’s brows furrowed.”I said I want a closer look at that bracelet.”Sophie was feelingimpatient with the sales assistant’s attitude but still repeated her request.”"Do you know how muchthis bracelet costs?” The sales assistant still refused to take the bracelet out.Then, Louisa led Willowand the rest into the jewelry store.”Show me that bracelet,” Louisa demanded arrogantly the minuteshe stepped into the store.The sales assistant knew Louisa was the only daughter of the Yarboroughfamily and had made repeated purchases from the store. She knew Louisa would buy anything sheliked no matter how costly it was."Yes, Ms. Yarborough. I'll take it out for you immediately.”Louisawould spend a lot every time she came. It looks like my sales performance will skyrocket againtoday.”l saw this bracelet first,” Sophie said coolly. What's with my luck today? Why do I keepbumping into disgusting people no matter where I go?“You saw it first? But have you paid for it?This bracelet costs eight million,” the sales assistant continued to mock Sophie. “Miss, if you'replanning to buy a bracelet, you can go to the gift shop outside and get one. Our items here don'tsuit you.”
