“We haven't heard anything about him for quite a while. If you want to know, I can find out.” All of them
had been busy preparing for the conference as of late.
Since Nicholas had not stirred up any trouble, naturally, no one could be bothered about him.
“Yeah. Find out what he has been up to. Something just doesn't feel right!” Tristan replied.
“All right. I got it! Let's go. The conference is starting.” Felix stood up and took all the documents with
him.
He and the others had prepared those documents personally. They did not even get any help from their
assistants, which showed how important that collaboration was to them.
Seeing that Felix was struggling with the stack of documents, Charles immediately volunteered to help
him with them while Sean and Tristan headed directly to the conference room.
The organization they were meeting with was the top corporation in Anglandur.
As that corporation thought relatively highly of Lombard Group, the conference would be attended by
its CEO personally.
Meanwhile, Tristan also intended to do the presentation himself instead of entrusting it to another
person.
A man like him would draw everyone's attention toward him as long as he got down to business.
Lombard Group had prepared for the conference very well. During the meeting, Eric, the CEO of the
top company in Anglandur, gave frequent nods of approval.
He had decided that Lombard Group was the company he wanted to collaborate with.
In addition to Lombard Group's strong track record in the industry, he found the leader of the company
to be capable and charismatic. Previously, there had been other companies that wanted to collaborate
with them, but none of them were up to their standards.
Eric was very satisfied with Lombard Group.
Moreover, Tristan had spoken in Anglandur's official language, which delighted the CEO greatly. The
two men had a pleasant conversation.
“It seems like we've gotten a deal!” Felix knew the conference would be a success. His admiration for
Tristan increased yet again after noticing the expression on Eric's face.
Any project Mr. Tristan is involved in is guaranteed to be a success. This man is a born leader.
Felix had learned a lot working alongside Tristan. After the conference ended, the next thing they had
to think about was dinner plans for Eric.
Tristan furrowed his brows when he noticed it was already six in the evening. Initially, they had not
planned to have dinner with Eric. No one had expected that the CEO would agree to have dinner
together after Felix suggested it casually.
“Tristan, what's the matter? Are you busy? If you have plans, please feel free to go off first. There's no
need to entertain me!” Eric said smilingly.
At that moment, Tristan had seriously considered leaving Eric to Sean and the others to handle. Still,
after some further thought, he decided it would be inappropriate of him to do so. It was the CEO's first
visit to the city, after all.
“I'm free. Since there is still a while until dinner time, why don't you return to your hotel for a rest? I'll
send someone to pick you up later!” Tristan suggested.
Eric had no objections to that.
After entrusting Felix with the task of taking care of the CEO, Tristan returned to his office.
“What's wrong? It's just having dinner together. Why do you look so unwilling?” No matter what, that
man is still the CEO of the top corporation in Anglandur! We should at least do our best to entertain
him.
“I've promised Sophie that we will have dinner together tonight,” Tristan replied helplessly.
He had never stood Sophie up before.
Charles was at a loss for words. Never did he expect to hear such words coming from Tristan.
“Let's go to Blossom Garden for dinner, then! It's quieter there, anyway. Ask Felix to pick Ysabelle up
later. I will go get Sophie!” Tristan then voiced.
This would be the perfect solution.
“All right. I got it.” Charles was wordless once again.
It's just one dinner, yet Mr. Tristan's reluctant to bail on Sophie! His love for her really has no limits.
After Tristan finished tidying the table, he set off to pick Sophie up. As the University of Medicine was
quite a distance away, he had to leave then if he did not want to be late.
Sean and Charles watched him leave without saying anything.
“Don't you think Mr. Tristan is going overboard? Would it matter if he cancels dinner once? Sophie
doesn't seem like a petty person. I don't think she would mind,” Charles asked.
Sophie is very mature and has a big heart. I doubt she would hold a grudge against Mr. Tristan for
flaking on her once.
Sean replied, “Mr. Tristan just can't bear to do so.” It's not because he's worried about upsetting Sophie
by breaking his promise but because he misses her!
“But Mr. Tristan...” Never mind. I don't know what else to say. In the end, Charles commented, “If true
love is that terrifying, I will pass!”
He would never be able to treat someone so well to the point that he would be unwilling to hurt the
person in the slightest bit.
That was simply too exhausting.
“True love doesn't come by easily. It is not something you can get by asking for it,” Sean stated. Some
things are just beyond our reach, no matter how hard we work for them.
Silence filled the air for a moment.
“Sean, are you still not over her?” Charles asked. Seriously? They didn't even start dating, yet he can't
stop thinking about her. Perhaps all this is merely his fixation with her!
Sean's eyes dimmed.
He was unwilling to talk about that woman, for his heart still ached every time she was mentioned.
“All right. We should also go home and get ready for dinner.” They knew that the dinner with the CEO
of the top corporation in Anglandur must not be treated lightly.
Meanwhile, Sophie had been waiting for Tristan after her class had ended. Since he had yet to arrive,
she decided to read on a bench as she waited.
Several guys who walked past her wanted to chat her up, but they ended up only watching her from
afar as none of them dared to approach her.
She was just way out of their leagues.
Sophie exuded such a cold and distant aura that it felt as if she was a deity that could only be
worshipped from afar.
Nicholas was obviously not one of those guys. In fact, the purpose of his existence was probably to
disgust Sophie.
Seeing that she was seated alone on the bench, he walked over and sat next to her.
“Are you waiting for Tristan?” he asked.
When Sophie heard his voice, her expression hardened.
Despite knowing that she should not let a madman bother her, she could not help but feel extremely
annoyed.
“Nicholas, it's time for you to return to Anglandur!” No matter how hard he tried, his base was in
Anglandur. There was no way for him to gain a foothold in Jipsdale, where Tristan called the shots.
“I've already told you that I won't go back. I will be wherever you are. Why do you keep forgetting?”
Nicholas sighed. I'm not even asking her to go back to Anglandur with me. Instead, I'll stay here to be
by her side. Haven't I made enough concessions?
“I'm serious. If I ever return, it would mean that I'm already dead. Otherwise, I will not go back, no
matter that,” he declared stubbornly.
The obsession and madness in his eyes caused a throbbing headache for Sophie.
She stood up from the bench, intending to walk further out so that she could see Tristan as soon as he
arrived.
Could he be here already?
“Where are you going? Are you going out for dinner? Can I join you? I'm not familiar with Jipsdale, so I
don't know where all the good food is. I haven't had anything nice recently,” Nicholas said in a pitiful
voice.
Sophie halted in her tracks.
“Nicholas, we don't have the kind of relationship where we can have dinner together.” He's crazy to
think that I will hang out with him over dinner. We're not even friends!
