Pursuing Her Chapter 62

Chapter 62 Amorous Atmosphere

“Like I'd expect people like you to know what this rock actually is! It's worth at least ten million!"Theman never liked women like them. All they had were looks but no substance.”You!"Danielle wantedto retaliate, but her friend held her back.”Stop talking. His family’s the biggest antique trader inJipsdale. If he says the rock is worth that much, it's definitely worth that much. You'll only lookignorant if you try to argue with him."“She’s right. Just keep your mouth shut. You're embarrassingus!"With that, Danielle stopped talking.Never had she expected Sophie to be able to afford to buyYsabelle a rock worth ten million.”Sorry, but I can't sell this no matter how much it costs. It's myfavorite gift. Thank you so much, Soph, but you really didn't have to go to such lengths for mybirthday gift.”She couldn’t imagine Sophie having forked out ten million on this rock.”You're mostwelcome. It's just ten million, anyway. Anything is worth it as long as you like it."Sophie truly didn'tcare about the price. All that mattered was that Ysabelle liked the gift." love it!"Felix felt a littlesheepish now, for his gift no longer seemed as extravagant compared to what Sophie hadprepared.Sophie didn't like being in crowded places, so she turned and left after the cake-cuttingceremony, heading outside to enjoy the night view of the city.Yet, no matter how much she tried toavoid trouble, trouble always seemed to follow her.With her group of friends, Danielle walkedtoward Sophie.”Mr. Tristan helped you get that rock, didn’t he, Sophie? It's not like your family hasthat much money anyway."Danielle refused to believe that Sophie could afford something thisexpensive.”Yeah! Even if you don't admit it, that necklace you're wearing is more than enough proof.I saw Mr. Tristan buy it at an auction with my own eyes.”" There's no way a peasant like you canafford something worth ten million.”“Well, if thinking that way makes you happy, I won't stop you,”Sophie replied calmly. “Are you done? Can you buzz off now?""Buzz off? Who are you telling tobuzz off? Just who do you think you are?” Danielle retorted in an attempt to establishdominance.”You. I'm talking to you.”“You!"In a rage, Danielle charged forward to push Sophie, butthe latter swiftly evaded her, causing her to fall to the ground instead.”Danielle! Are you okay?"Oneof her friend helped her up.”You'd better stay away from me,” Sophie warned them.Resentmentswirled within Danielle.”Godd*mmit! What are you getting all smug about?""Let it go, Danielle. Idon’t think we should mess with her. Besides, Mr. Tristan’s got her back. He won't be happy if hereplaces out what you're doing to her.”"Shut up! Whose side are you even on? There's no way Mr.Tristan would fall for a b*tch like her!"“Danielle, we're saying this for your own good.”“Then Isuppose I'll have to thank you, huh?” I won't accept this. I've prepared myself all this while andlearned so many things just so I could marry Mr. Tristan one day. I'm not going to let anyone elsehave him!Sophie headed back in to look for Ysabelle. The cruise ship was still out above the waters,so she had no way of getting off. Then, she thought of going to Ysabelle's room, only to replace itlocked.Left with no other choice, she could only head to Tristan’s room.Sticking with him is stillbetter than being around those stupid girls.Standing in front of the door, Sophie only had to knockthrice before it flew open.”l don't have anywhere else to go, so I thought I'd hang out here for awhile. If it's not okay with you..."She trailed off upon noticing a gorgeous woman inside hisroom.”It's no problem at all, but give me a second. I have some trash to take care of."Afterresponding, Tristan turned around.“Get out of my room, or I'll feed you to the sharks.”He hadreturned to his room, only to replace a woman waiting inside. Then, a knock came on the door beforehe could even take a close look at her.”But Mr. Tristan...” the woman pled in a dainty voice."Getout."Feeling humiliated, the woman ran out of the room in tears.Sophie felt awkward standingthere.”Sorry. I didn't mean to bother you."Tristan didn’t know how to respond to that.Sophiacontinued, “But it looks like you really are a ladies’ man, huh? There's always a woman waiting tothrow herself in your arms wherever you go!"“Shut your mouth, or I'll shut you up in my ownways."It would probably be easier if he just plugged that infuriating little mouth of hers."Ooh,someone's mad."Hearing that, Tristan immediately grabbed her by the waist and planted his lipsagainst hers.Sophie’s eyes widened in bewilderment.She didn't think he meant it, or that he wouldshut her up this way.Ugh... Me and my big mouth! Why did I p*ss him off in the first place?Sophieremained frustrated even after Tristan had let go of her.l was never such a pushover!The man gentlybrushed her swollen lip with his fingers."Does it hurt?"He had used a bit of force then.Sophiepushed his arm away.”I'm fine. It's bearable. Tristan gazed at her silently.”l don't mean anything bythat! Don't get the wrong idea.”He continued to stare at her."Seriously, that's not what I meant!Argh! Forget it. You can think whatever you want!”"He smiled.Sophie grew enraged at that. What's sofunny? He keeps getting on my nerves!The air inside the room grew slightly amorous, makingSophie feel unsettled.She sat down at the same spot as before and gazed out the window.Maybe Ishouldn't have come here in the first place, but it's too late to think about all this now.Tristanhanded her a woollen blanket for her legs again.”You can sleep on the bed if you're tired. I'm goingto go say hi to some people.”As soon as he left the room, Sophie heaved a sigh of relief.Feelingbored on her own, she took out her phone and began to create a mini-game.It was only whenYsabelle called her that she exited the program.”Soph! Where are you? Come back! The waltz isabout to begin."The waltz was the main event of the night."Okay. I'm on my way.”Sophie wasn't allthat interested in dancing, but she didn’t want to rain on the birthday girl's parade After putting theblanket back onto the couch, she left in search of Ysabelle.When she arrived, she saw Ysabelledancing with Felix. They were the only two on the dance floor. It was Ysabelle's birthday, after all, soshe naturally had the first dance.Anticipation rose within Winter when she noticed that Tristanwasn't with Sophie.Where did he go? Well, it's fine if I couldn't make him my date for tonight. I'd bemore than happy to have one dance with him.By now, Felix and Ysabelle had ended their firstdance.More couples entered the dance floor as the music played once again.At that very moment, adashing-looking man stopped in front of Sophie.”Good evening, Ms. Tanner. Would you care todance with me?"Sophie frowned."Sorry. But I dont know how to dance.”It's fine. I'll guide you.” Theman had no intention of giving up.“I'll pass.”“Give me a chance, Ms. Tanner. Aren't you attendingTanner Group's shareholders’ meeting this coming Monday? I might just lend you a hand on thatday.”"An outsider like you shouldn't interfere with the Tanner family’s affairs.”“What's wrong?”Suddenly, Tristan appeared behind her. “Didn't I tell you to wait inside my room? Why did you comeout here on your own?"
