Chapter 757
“That’s Sophie, the third daughter of the Tanner family. She’s already engaged to Mr. Tristan. I had no idea that Mr. Tristan would get engaged to such a plain little nobody! Maybe men truly do only care about looks.”
So what if Sophie wasn’t from a rich family? She still managed to hook up with Tristan with her looks alone, and everyone else could only look on in envy.
Life was simply unfair in that way.
Winter was looking more ticked off by the minute. “All right, that’s enough. We gathered today to discuss the collaboration. Let’s not waste time gossiping.”
Winter couldn’t imagine why William would have agreed to the engagement.
Sophie was winning at life while Winter was now the one lagging behind.
Now more than ever, she needed to prove her worth and show everyone that Tristan’s decision to get engaged to Sophie was a bad one.
The rest of them stopped chattering about Sophie and Tristan as Winter was rather obviously annoyed. They quickly returned to the task at hand.
As for Tristan and Sophie, they were already enjoying their meal, completely unbothered by the irrelevant people talking behind their backs.
Winter just couldn’t help but turn to stare at the two of them despite their nonchalance.
What if that was me sitting next to Tristan? Life would be amazing!
She just couldn’t accept it. She met Tristan first, and yet it amounted to basically nothing in the end.
All she could do was watch as he treated another woman like she was a gift from God while having zero patience for Winter herself.
The year was coming to an end, and in order to thank all her fans for their constant support, Ysabelle’s management team decided to host a concert.
Finally, Ysabelle had the resources to hold a concert, and she had been practicing day and night for it.
She wasn’t an idol who had to dance and sing at the same time, but she had to practice regardless.
Tristan and Sophie dropped by to visit and saw her discussing with her team about the concert. She had really grown as a person and was now a mature lady who knew what she wanted.
She was from the Lombard family, after all. Her high intelligence shone through as she clearly and definitively explained her ideas to her team.
“Don’t worry, Ms. Lombard! We know exactly what you want. We won’t let you down.”
Ysabelle wanted every audience member to feel refreshed and excited at the concert. After all, she appreciated everything that had led up to this moment and wanted to truly cherish it.
“Ms. Lombard, Ms. Sophie and Mr. Tristan are here to see you.”
Ysabelle turned back and saw Sophie and Tristan standing there like her assistant had said. They truly were a match made in heaven. Even Ysabelle, who was part of the entertainment industry, had rarely seen anyone as beautiful as Sophie.
Sometimes she couldn’t help but wonder how someone as beautiful as Sophie could truly exist.
Every time she walked into the room, every other woman would pale in comparison.
Today, she was dressed in a red sweater with a long white padded jacket over it, while Tristan was dressed the same. The two of them looked like walking advertisements for whatever clothes they were wearing, and everyone in the room couldn’t help but stop and stare.
They were outshining even her, a renowned celebrity.
She jogged over so she could talk to them.
“I thought you guys were super busy recently! How’d you find the time to come and visit?”
Despite her playful reprimand, she was more than happy to see them drop by.
“Sophie, see? I kept my promise!” Ysabelle said proudly.
She promised her fans that she would hold a concert before Christmas, and she was finally going through with it.
“Good job, Ysabelle. As expected, you wouldn’t have let anyone down. I know it’s been hard for you the past year, and I’m so proud of you,” Sophie said as she handed her a milkshake.
“Here you go! This is my reward for all your hard work.”
“Come on, isn’t this a little bit too stingy of you? Look at how hard I’m practicing even now! Aren’t you going to give me something a little more impressive?”
“All right, what do you want?”
As long as Sophie could make it happen, she would. She would never hesitate to give Ysabelle what she wanted.
“I don’t know, actually. I’ll tell you when I do, though! No matter how busy you are, you must come and watch, okay? I’ll be mad if you don’t.”
“Of course, I’ll come. Don’t worry.” Sophie wouldn’t miss Ysabelle’s concert for the world.
“What about Felix? Hasn’t he been visiting you?” Tristan asked. Felix had vowed to become the best boyfriend ever, so why wasn’t he here with her?
“He’s busy! All companies are busy around this time of year anyway. He doesn’t have as much time for me right now.”
Still, Felix would grab every opportunity he had to come and visit, so she was perfectly fine with his schedule.
“Since when did you become so reasonable?” Someone in Ysabelle’s position had every right to throw tantrums.
However, ever since she started dating Felix, she had become much more reasonable and mature. Love truly could change people for the better.
“There’s something I want to ask you. I can’t really decide on this. Could you help me take a look?” The opening of a concert was extremely important, after all, and Ysabelle was hesitant because she wanted it to be perfect.
Sophie walked off with Ysabelle to look at the stage design and offered a couple of new ideas.
Her ideas gave Ysabelle even more insight into the problem, and she managed to find a solution.
Since the end of the year was approaching, a lot of Transfix Cosmetics staff members were ready to go back to their hometowns. This year, Sophie had bought train tickets for them all and had even given each of them a large bonus before the holidays.
Everyone working in Transfix Cosmetics was having the time of their lives working under Sophie. Every time her name was mentioned, all of them immediately gushed in gratitude.
Sophie stepped into Transfix Cosmetics and spotted some workers who hadn’t gone home yet. Either Jipsdale was already their hometown, or they simply didn’t have that many relatives to visit back home.
They all greeted Sophie with a bright smile on their faces.
Even Wilma was still working as hard as ever despite being pregnant.
She only stopped once she caught sight of Sophie.
“What are you doing here, Ms. Sophie?” Wilma asked with a bright smile on her face. She had been doing very well recently.
Everyone around her could tell that her happiness was truly coming from within.
“Hey, you have to start taking it easy. Being pregnant is hard! Ask Wendy to help if you need it.”
Wendy was truly growing in front of their very eyes. Now, she could be trusted with a task all on her own.
“I know. Don’t worry. I know my limits. I can keep going. Besides, I love this job. It makes me happy just being here.”
She didn’t feel tired in the slightest since she truly loved her job.
“By the way, I brought some extra gifts for those who stayed behind. Here are some tickets for Ysabelle’s concert. Just hand them out to whoever wants them.”
