Chapter 925 Torment Him
After the secretary led Sophic into the room, he immediately went to pour her a glass of freshly squeezed juice.
“Ms. Sophie, have some of your favorite strawberry juice. I just bought the strawberries a while ago. They’re fresh.”
Knowing Sophie would be dropping by, he specially made a trip to the supermarket to buy large, beautiful strawberries.
However, the reddish strawberry juice didn’t seem too appetizing for Sophie.
“Um, thanks.”
Why do I feel like the secretary is particularly enthusiastic this time around? Once the secretary left, she asked Victor. “What’s up with him? Isn’t he being a tad bit enthusiastic?”
“It’s because of last year’s high bonus, obviously,” Victor answered. Every employee in Tanner Group had turned into Sophie’s fan.
“Oh,” Sophie uttered.
“Ms. Sophie, you made the right choice. All of our employees are working as one entity. They’re all doing their best to solve all kinds of problems together
Such a united company would succeed in any endeavor.
“I heard you guys ran into some trouble with the recent project, so I dropped by to check. Has the issue been resolved?”
The project was significant to Tanner Group. If it took off, the company would achieve tremendous success and be propelled to greater heights.
That was why Sophie took time out of her busy schedule to drop by the office.
“Ms. Sophic, please rest assured that although the issue isn’t resolved yet, I will handle it perfectly.”
He was confident in his capabilities.
“Brief me on the details. If we can solve it in a shorter time, why don’t we give it a try?
“The crux of the issue lies in Mr. Hein of Maxwell Corporation. He refused to sign the agreement no matter how I tried to persuade him. I invited him for dinner tonight, so don’t worry. I’ll surely get his signature this time.”
Everyone in Jipsdale knew how difficult of a person Terence was. However, Victor was determined to get Terence’s signature regardless of how challenging it was going to be.
“The dinner is tonight, right? I’ll go with you.” Let’s settle this issue first since we already have dinner plans with the other party.
“Do you not trust me, Ms. Sophie? I can solve this issue,” said Victor with concern. Ms. Sophie is still a

woman, after all. With how pretty she is, she shouldn’t attend such an occasion,
“What’s wrong? Is there a problem with Mr. Hein?” She never paid much attention to the ongoings within the industry, so she wasn’t aware of the issue with Terence.
“Mr. Hein is a promiscuous man. Plus, you’re good-looking, so I don’t think you should go.”
“Is there a problem with our project?” That was her main concern. If there was no issue with the project, she was determined to make Terence sign the agreement that night.
“Ms. Sophie, I’m monitoring the progress of this project personally. You already went through the details of the project several times, so you know there isn’t a problem at all.”
“So Mr. Hein is deliberately giving us a hard time. Got it. I’ll be going with you for dinner tonight.”
Tanner Group is developing well each day, but it’s still lacking compared to other companies in a city like Jipsdale. Most of the time, many corporations refuse to give us a chance and collaborate with us.
“Are you really coming, Ms. Sophie? That man is a pervert. I’m worried about you.”
Victor regarded Sophie as his younger sister, so the last thing he wanted was for her to mingle with such an unpleasant man.
Tanner Group belongs to the Tanner family, so how can I stand on the sidelines and watch when the company is facing difficulties?”
She wasn’t the kind of person who would let her subordinates do all the dirty work.
“All right. I understand.” Victor was determined to be present for the dinner that night. Terence would never get to touch even a hair on Sophie’s head as long as Victor was around.
Tristan had been waiting to get off work for his movie date with Sophie. He even went back home to change into a more suitable attire for the date during his lunch break.
However, when it was nearly time to get off work, he got a phone call from Sophie.
“I have plans tonight, so I can’t go to the movies with you. Why don’t you head home first?”
Guilt flooded Sophie as she knew they had already agreed on spending time together that evening. She felt bad about standing him up at the very last minute.
Tristan had been looking forward to the movie date the entire day. He didn’t expect to be stood up at the
last minute.
“What’s happened? Did something urgent happen at Tanner Group?” She went to Tanner Group in the morning and didn’t return in the afternoon, so something must have happened there.
“We’re facing some issues with the recent project. I’m going to handle it tonight.” Grandpa cares about Tanner Group a lot, so I can’t just ignore the company’s issues no matter how busy I am. There’s nothing much going on with the medical association anyway, so I’m planning to concentrate all my attention on Tanner Group in the meantime. It’s time for the company to advance to the next level. How else are we going to be on the same level as Lombard Group?
“I know about the project your company is handling right now. Mr. Hein refuses to sign the agreement,

right? I can settle that with a phone call,” Tristan uttered.
That’s not a big deal. I can deal with Mr. Hein.
“That won’t be necessary. This is Tanner Group’s affair. I can deal with it just fine. You don’t have to get involved.”
She wanted to lead the company to its peak relying on her own efforts, so she didn’t want Tristan to get involved.
“I’m upset, Sophie. Do you know that? I’m your backer, so you can always depend on me. Why are your refusing to accept my help?”
The issue would be resolved as soon as he made the call.
“I know how great you are, but I don’t want to depend on you. At the end of the day, I still have to learn and grow up on my own, don’t you think?”
Defeat washed over Tristan. Why am I such a failure? My own girlfriend doesn’t want to depend on me. Am I a terrible boyfriend? Do I not give her a sense of security?
“There, there. Please don’t be mad. I don’t mean anything by it. I just think I can resolve the problem by myself.”
I don’t know how to rely on others. I love solving everything within my power and enjoying the sense of gratification and accomplishment I get upon succeeding.
“Okay, I understand. Mr. Hein is a lustful man, though, so be careful.” Knowing how capable Sophie was, Tristan wasn’t too worried about her, but that didn’t mean he was comfortable with the situation.
When Charles dropped by and saw the dark look on Tristan’s face, he questioned the man and finally found out that Sophie would be going to meet the infamous Terence Hein for dinner.
“Mr. Hein is a salacious man, and Sophie is a beautiful woman. Are you not worried about her?”
“What do you think Mr. Hein can do to her? I wanted to solve the issue for her, but she refused, so there’s nothing I can do about it.”
In fact, he was aware that with Sophie’s capabilities, Terence wouldn’t stand a chance against her.
“Oh, how I wish I can be there to witness Sophie deal with him. It’s been a long time since I last saw Sophie torment someone.” It’s a pleasure to watch Sophie torment others as long as I’m not the one getting tormented. Charles then suggested, “Why don’t we go there and watch? We could at least give Mr. Hein a fright.”
