Chapter 57 Private Territory

“Thank you, but I'm not interested in becoming a model.” Sophie never liked others knowing abouther private life."Oh, I see. That's such a shame because I think you're born for it. You don't have toreject me right away, though. Sleep on it, okay? If you happen to change your mind, call meanytime.” The designer passed Sophie her business card.Right then, the assistant brought over thedress Tristan had ordered them to custom make. “Ms. Tanner, please come over with me to try thedress out. If needed, we can alter it on the spot."The assistant then led Sophie to the changing roomand helped her put on the black dress."The dress fits you like a glove, Ms. Tanner! Mr. Lombard isgoing to be over the moon when he sees you in it.” The assistant was dumbstruck. Although thegirls who had gone there to custom-make dresses were all pretty, Sophie was the prettiest of themall."Thank you.” Sophie had been praised for her looks ever since she was young. Hence, she wasalready numb to such compliments.”I'll help you tie your hair up!” The assistant tied Sophie's auburnhair up to reveal her beautiful neck. Although Sophie wasn’t wearing any makeup, she was stillstunningly beautiful.”"We're done!” The assistant opened the door, and Sophie headed out. WhenSophie came out, Tristan was on the phone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Upon hearingthe sound of footsteps, he turned around gracefully. Right then, he saw Sophie walking toward himin that black dress.He was usually a composed and calm man. However, at that moment, he wasstunned to the point he could not speak. I knew she was going to look good in black. It seems like Ihave good eyes for such things, after all. Indeed, Sophie looked very alluring dressed in that blacksleeveless dress.He then hung up the phone and approached Sophie.”How is it? Do you like it?” Thesleeveless dress stopped just right above the knee. Its design was meant to showcase her beautifullegs and stunning arms.”Isn't it a little too short?” Tristan wasn't pleased when he realized all themen at the party would stare at Sophie's legs.”No, it isn't. The length is perfect for an evening gown!All that it's showing are the arms and legs.” The designer was thrilled with the dress. As a designer,her primary aim was to be able to get her customers to showcase her impeccable designs.Thedesigner then approached Sophie to check out the dress. “The area around your waist is still a littleloose, though. Ms. Tanner, you have such a slender waist!"Sophie had a spectacular figure. Despitebeing slim, she had all the assets a woman would want on her body."It's all right.” Sophie wasn'tbothered. Nonetheless, she was in love with the dress.”Ms. Tanner, Mr. Lombard had personallypicked this out for you.”"Thank you.” With that, Sophie went to the changing room to change intoher own clothes. The designer wanted to alter Sophie's dress, so Sophie and Tristan sat on the couchand waited.”Mr. Lombard, your suit is ready.” The assistant brought Tristan’s suit out and asked, “Doyou need to try them on?""That won't be necessary. You can just leave them there.” His suits werealways tailored there, so he was quite sure everything would fit nicely.”It's getting late. Shall we havelunch first?” Tristan asked.Sophie nodded in response. Since she had just had a hearty breakfast, shewasn't hungry. However, she was getting bored while waiting.After instructing the assistant to sendthe dress and the suit to a particular location, Tristan brought Sophie to a fancy restaurant.Themoment Sophie sat down, she received a call from Ysabelle.”Soph, where are you?" Ysabelle'sschedule was packed that day, so she had only found the time to ring Sophie.”I'm at DreamRestaurant.” Sophie was talking to Ysabelle and flipping through the menu at the same time."What?You're only having lunch now? By the way, you must come over tonight, okay?” Ysabelle was worriedthat Sophie wouldn't show up.”l know, Ms. Lombard. I'll be there. That's all, right? I still have mattersto attend to, so I'll be hanging up now.” With that, Sophie hung up the call.Seeing that she hadfinally gotten off the phone, Tristan asked, “What would you like to eat? They serve good steakhere.””I'll have a salad to go with the steak, then."Tristan ordered the dishes.When the steak wasserved, Tristan helped her cut the steak into small pieces.Being the handsome man that he was, helooked dashing even when he was cutting steak After he was done cutting, he served the plate toSophie.“Mr. Tristan, thank you so much for today. You don't have to accompany me to get the dress,actually. I can do it on my own.” Knowing how busy Tristan was, Sophie was surprised that he wouldspend so much time with her. After all, getting a dress is just a small matter."Don’t worry about it.These are all things I want to do. As long as that's the case, I don't replace them tedious at all.” Tristancontinued cutting the steak After lunch, he found out he had left something behind at LombardGroup. Hence, he brought her along to the legendary Lombard Group's headquarters.”I'll just wait inthe car.” It's fine. Let's head up together so that I can show you my working environment.” Uponsaying that, he went and opened the car door for Sophie.Sophie had no choice but to get out of thecar.Lombard Group's headquarters was the most luxurious commercial building in Jipsdale. It was aninety-story skyscraper.Tristan brought Sophie along to the ninetieth floor using the elevator meantfor the CEQ.The entire ninetieth floor was reserved for the CEO, and it had all the facilities one couldask for.It was divided into two sections. One was for work, and it comprised the CEO's personaloffice and five offices for the secretaries. Apart from that, there was a luxurious conference roomand a massive pantry.The other section was Tristan’s private space, and it was designed like apresidential suite.”Do you stay here?” Sophie asked, knowing that she was staying in his unit atWisteria Apartments.” would stay here whenever I'm caught up with work."Lombard Group had allsorts of subsidiaries dealing in different industries. When he took over the company, there were alot of things he needed to familiarize himself with. Furthermore, the power struggle within thecompany was a thorny situation to deal with.When that happened, Tristan would just stay there andwork endlessly.Hence, the place was properly equipped, and he had everything he needed. After all,he wasn't one to mistreat himself."Have a look around, okay? Ill go to the office to get some thingsironed out. I'll be back once I'm done.” Tristan brought her to his private area.Once Tristan left,Butterfly’s call came.”"What's up?” Sophie asked.”Phantom, something bad has happened. Someonewas attacking Wings of Light's firewall.””And?"“Nothing happened in the end, of course. After all,you've personally set up Wings of Light's firewall. No one’s going to be able to break it. Still, thereseems to be a loophole in our firewall. If you're free, come over and have a look, will you?” Despiteher confidence in Sophie, Butterfly was still slightly worried.
