Pursuing Her

Chapter 1000 Unable to Hold Back 

“Are you eating with Howard Lynder from Starlight International this afternoon?” Tristan asked. That Howard is truly brazen. I can’t believe he dared to harm someone close to Sophie. Doesn’t he know one should look before they leap? If this isn’t suicidal, I don’t know what is.

“Mm-hmm, but not to worry. I can take care of it on my own,” Sophie replied. That guy isn’t anyone particularly terrifying, so there’s really no need to worry.”

“I know you can. However, that person is a despicable man, so you must be careful, okay?” came his reply. When dealing with useless trash like that, it’s best to do it quickly and directly. There’s no need to waste time talking to him.

“I think he invited me to play golf with him,” she answered. They were not meeting for a meal.

Although she had no plans to collaborate with Starlight International, there was no way she would make things easy for them since they had bullied her employees.

“I see. Your father’s mistress came looking for you today, didn’t she? Do you need me to do something?” He did not want her to upset herself over that messy situation. That woman is nothing but an unscrupulous mistress. I can take care of it.

“My father dug himself into that hole, so he should dig himself out of it. We don’t need to do anything

Actually, making that woman leave couldn’t be easier. Just cutting off all their financial resources will do the trick. There’s no real love to speak of anyway. She’s only with him for the money. Once the money runs out, that woman will naturally make a decision.

“You’re right. Once they’re deprived of their financial resources, all the problems will come to an end.” Similarly, he did not believe it was true love. In his opinion, Angelina was only a gold digger and would surely change her mind when there was no more money.

The pair did not go back after finishing their lunch. Instead, they rested in the office.

Needless to say, Sophie’s office could not even compare to Tristan’s lounge.

It was not a luxurious office, nor did it have a lounge area to the side.

“Are you sure you don’t want to go back to rest? Lombard Group has a lounge,” she said, thinking he could get a good rest if he just went back.

“I didn’t do much this morning, so I’m not tired.” He had planned to accompany her golfing that afternoon, but from the looks of it, she did not seem keen on that.

“Okay. In that case, help me take a look at this project and see what you think. She was already planning a new project again. That was just the way she was. Whenever she had time, she would think up new projects, thus driving Tanner Group to improve continuously.

“Sure!” he agreed readily. Being able to help her genuinely made him happy.

He had always been quick at going through documents. In less than ten minutes, he had already identified the strengths and shortcomings of the project. He had even scribbled a few comments on it with a red pen.

“As expected of you, just reading this document makes me excited about this project. No wonder many are worried about your company’s rapid progress,” he remarked. Tanner Group is currently expanding at an incredibly fast pace indeed. Sophie has always had a sharp eye for investments. If she focuses on growing the business, the company might become on par with Lombard Group

“You have a good eye too. Many people now would probably think this project is too daring. However, that’s how the world works. Someone who wants to make a profit must be daring. Am I right?”

After all, nothing in the world came without risks. If one wanted to make more money and go further than others, one had to take risks.

“That goes without saying. How could I be your boyfriend if I didn’t have a good eye?” Tristan said with a smile.

“Tell me about the shortcomings. I think it still needs to be improved.” Only by refining the project details would they be able to do better.

“Mm, here…“

The astute Tristan found all the project’s flaws in under twenty minutes and even offered suggestions for improvements.

Sophie listened carefully and jotted down remarks at the corresponding places. More than an hour had passed by the time they ended their discussion, and in that time, she had learned a lot from him: Sure enough, there’s a reason for Tristan’s invincibility in the business world. He’s truly amazing.

“I admire you even more now! You’re incredible!” she exclaimed. How can there be someone so amazing in this world?

He set down the document and gently wrapped an arm around her waist.

“If I weren’t so incredible, you wouldn’t have fallen for me.” Their relationship was truly a case of mutual attraction.

“You’re absolutely right. You’ve always been outstanding,” she replied, nodding. There was no doubt about that. “All right. It’s about time you went to Lombard Group.”

“Okay. Where are you going to play golf?”

“What’s the matter? Are you still worrying about me?”

“Why would I be worried? After all, my wife is so capable. It’s just that I was thinking of picking you up later.” He tapped the tip of her nose as he spoke.

“I’ll send you the location when I’m done. You really should be going now.”

“How heartless of you. I just helped you to resolve your problems, but now you’re trying to get rid of me.

Sophie stood on tiptoes and briefly pressed her lips against his. “Are you satisfied with this reward?”

Tristan shook his head. “Nope.” NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Hearing that, she kissed him again.

“Do you take me for a three-year-old kid? What’s with that light peck on the lips? How insincere,” Pressing her up against him, he deepened the kiss.

It was completely different from how she had done it. His kiss was domineering yet gentle and burning with desire. They could hardly extricate themselves from the swirl of emotions that surged forth.

As for Sophie, she was completely lost in the kiss.

When he finally let her go, her legs were weak, and she nearly fell to the floor. Fortunately, Tristan caught her in time.

He licked his lips, feeling very satisfied with the kiss. “Do you know what to do now?”

She looked up with her stunning eyes. What had been a look of indifference in her eyes had now been replaced by a look of deep longing. He really knows how to spark my desire.

“Like this?”

This time, she took the lead. As was her nature, she never wanted to admit defeat. She was also a good student. No matter what it was, she would always pick things up very quickly. Now that the couple had been together for some time, she was very familiar with his body.

After giving him a deeply passionate and intense kiss, she asked, “How was that? Was that satisfactory?”

Tristan was satisfied. That’s right. I like this version of her. She’s no longer cold and indifferent but a living. breathing person with desires. How could I be dissatisfied when she gets like this?

“We’re at the office, Sophie,” he uttered somewhat regretfully.

She was quiet as she leaned against his chest, catching her breath.

“And if we weren’t?” she countered. Isn’t he the one who wants to wait until our wedding night? Indeed, he had been looking forward to their wedding night. Hence, that was as far as they could go for now.

The intimation of doing it at the office sounded so wrong and taboo. Nonetheless, wasn’t that how humans were sometimes? The more off-limits a place was, the more one could not hold themselves back.
