Chapter 506
Quinton ended up looking in on Sophie.
It was the first day of university. The moment Sophie left the house, she saw a luxury car parked nearby.
Needless to say, the car drew her attention. Someone’s here for me so soon?
“Ms. Tanner, my boss wants to have a word with you. Are you free now?” Quinton’s subordinate had witnessed Sophie’s capabilities before, so he was very polite when he talked to her.
“Do you mean Mark’s father?” Sophie asked. Boss? The boss he’s referring to can only be Mark’s father.
“Yes.”
At that, she glanced at her watch before replying, “The thing is that today is my first day of class, and I don’t want to be late. Tell your boss we shall meet at noon.”
While she was not available at the moment, she would have an hour of free time at noon.
No matter what, Mark’s issue needed to be settled.
“Ms. Tanner, are you—”
“What’s wrong? Do you have a problem with that?” Sophie raised her brows. Although I’m the one asking for a postponement, he should watch his attitude.
Upon recalling how unhesitant she was when she pulled the trigger, the subordinate quickly shook his head.
“No. Why would I? Besides, I wouldn’t dare,” he replied. After all, he was merely carrying out his employer’s orders.
Sophie ignored him. Right then, she saw Tristan arriving in his car, so she strode off, opened the car door, and got in.
The subordinate, who was wearing a black T-shirt, got into his own car as well.
“Boss, Ms. Tanner said she’s busy now and can only meet you at noon,” he reported.
“Okay. Got it. In that case, you guys should get everything ready.” Quinton nodded. Since Mark likes Sophie, I have to let him have her. Besides, having her be my daughter-in-law will solve all the problems.
“Boss, are we really going to do this?” the subordinate asked. Ms. Tanner looks formidable. If she finds out what we’re about to do, we’re doomed.
Quinton shot a glare at him and scolded, “Are you questioning my decision? Are you the boss, or am I the boss?”
He was prepared to take all risks for his son, regardless of the consequences.
“That’s not what I mean, Boss.”
“Enough. Stop talking nonsense and do what I told you to do,” Quinton ordered.
When it comes to women, some drugs are all it needs to tame them.
As soon as Sophie got into the car, Tristan asked, “Wasn’t that Mark’s father? What did he want from you?”
Quinton had a bad reputation in the underworld, being infamous for his usage of despicable tactics. Hence, one had to be wary while dealing with him.
“It’s nothing. I think he came here because of Mark. Don’t be bothered by it. By the way, you aren’t completely healed yet, so you shouldn’t overwork yourself, okay?” Sophie uttered.
“Okay. Got it!”
Tristan personally sent her to the University of Medicine. “Call me when you’re done with your classes! I’ll come and pick you up.”
He was more than happy to drive his girlfriend around.
Sophie placed her hands on his shoulders and looked at him intently. “You don’t have to pick me up. I have something to attend to at noon, so I won’t be having lunch with you.”
“Okay. I bought two units of a condominium nearby. They are next to each other, one for you and one for Ysabelle. Besides, I also found someone to cook for you two.”
“All right.”
“Later, I’ll send someone to move your belongings from Wisteria Apartments. That way, you don’t have to go back and forth!” Tristan had planned everything out for her.
“Okay. Thank you!” Sophie answered. Who would’ve thought the incredible Mr. Tristan would do so much for me?
Although her height was almost one hundred and seventy, she was still not tall enough when she stood in front of Tristan. In order to kiss him on the corners of his lips, she had to stand on her tiptoes.
“You should go now!” she said afterward.
“Sure!”
A simple peck was enough to please him.
In fact, it never took much for her to gladden him.
When Sophie arrived in her classroom, she noticed that most of the students were male. Only a handful of females were present.
Moreover, a few male students could be seen surrounding a female student at once.
Considering the significant gender imbalance in their cohort, the male students naturally had to make every chance count if they wanted to find a girlfriend. Furthermore, their female coursemates were all quite pretty.
Every man shifted their attention to Sophie just as she entered the classroom.
That displeased the other ladies, who were the center of attention a few moments ago.
In response, they exchanged knowing looks and decided to make Sophie their common enemy.
Sophie walked toward the end of the classroom and took a seat. Even though she knew everyone was looking at her, she was unperturbed.
“Hey! What’s your name?”
As soon as she sat down, a man approached her and struck up a conversation with her.
Sophie was at a loss for words for a moment.
“I’m Sophie Tanner, and please don’t speak to me. I hate noises!” she replied.
The man was slightly embarrassed.
However, he was willing to let it slide since she was gorgeous. “I’m sorry to have disturbed you!”
It’s perfectly normal for pretty girls to be a little feisty. I can handle it.
“Let me buy you lunch,” the man added.
Sophie raised her gaze toward him and replied, “No.”
As a matter of fact, she was showing him a lot of respect, but if he were to push it, she would not hesitate to put him in his place.
“Sophie, come on. There’s nothing wrong with a coursemate buying lunch for a fellow coursemate,” the man said.
“I don’t want to eat with you, and I don’t want to listen to you talk. You may leave now,” Sophie answered.
Why won’t he take the hint?
“Hey! Why are you so rude? Do you have any idea who I am?” he snapped in displeasure.
A moment of silence later, she countered, “Who are you? Does it matter? I told you to stop bothering me. Didn’t you hear me?”
Why must someone try so hard to get my attention so early in the morning?
“Forget about it, Simon. She’s so high and mighty! Why would she want to have lunch with you? Don’t you think you’re overestimating yourself?” a young woman voiced.
The person who had just spoken had a major crush on Simon Little. It annoyed her greatly when she saw him hitting on Sophie.
At the sight of Sophie rejecting Simon, she could not help gloating over it. Simon is the son of the director of the largest upper-class hospital in Jipsdale. Whoever crosses Simon is bound to have a tough time in Jipsdale. Sophie might be pretty, but she seems like a fool.
Simon’s expression turned grim when he heard her remark.
All his life, every person he met would ingratiate themself with him.
It was his first time being disrespected by another person.
“Sophie, you should feel honored that I offered to buy you a meal. Quit being so shameless!” Simon began behaving like a spoiled brat.
Truth be told, Sophie did not want to get into trouble on her first day of university.
Alas, someone just had to mess with her.
“Are you sure I’m the shameless one? Didn’t I tell you to stop disturbing me? Are you too stupid to understand my words?” Sophie roared.
“You…” That was definitely the worst humiliation Simon had ever suffered in his whole life. “You’re so shameless!”
As he was talking, he suddenly reached out his hand to hit Sophie.
Upon seeing that, the female coursemates exulted in Sophie’s imminent misfortune.
