Anything For Her

Chapter 402

If Tristan continued to stay single, William would start wondering if there was something wrong with his son.

Tristan was rendered speechless.

“No matter what, you must meet them tonight. I've already promised them.” At William's age, nothing else

mattered as much as his children's health and happiness.

“I can't go tonight as I have something to do.”

“You always do. Why are you always so busy? You can never earn enough money.” William strongly disagreed with

his son's point of view.

“Dad, I'll say this once more. You don't have to stick your nose into my business. I can handle it myself. Instead of

causing someone else trouble, I'd rather stay unmarried for the rest of my life if I can't meet someone I like.”

“What are you talking about? What do you mean you'd rather stay unmarried for the rest of your life? How can you

do that?” William was furious. “Tell me. Do you have a girlfriend already?” If not, you wouldn't be so hesitant like

this. It's just a regular meeting. Isn't it a trivial matter?

“I know what to do.”

“What do you mean you know what to do? I'm telling you, you must bring your girlfriend to meet me if you already

have one.” Why do you never take me seriously? I'm the head of the family here.

“That's enough. You should go travel with some friends if you have nothing to do.”

“Do you think I'm being nosy now?”

When Sophie arrived at the ninetieth floor, she was stopped by the secretary.

“Is Tristan still in a meeting?”

Sophie had just ended her sentence when the door to the CEO's office swung open. William exited the office, and

Tristan was right behind him.

With how sharp William's eyes were and the fact that Sophie was never a lady whose presence could be easily

ignored, the former stopped in his tracks upon seeing her.

He proceeded to say, “Hello, young lady. What's your name, and why are you here?”

Sophie was stunned. Great. I can't believe I just bumped into Old Mr. Lombard. If I had known earlier that he was

here, I wouldn't have come.

Suddenly, an idea occurred to Sophie, and she held up the coffee she was holding. “I'm here to deliver coffee.”

William glanced at Tristan. A coffee delivery? Is there no coffee available in Lombard Group? Is buying coffee from

a shop outside necessary?

Sophie quickly passed the coffee to the secretary. “Sorry for the late delivery.”

The secretary accepted the coffee that was being handed to her and didn't know how to react.

After saying her piece, Sophie turned around and walked away.

If Triston continued to stoy single, Williom would stort wondering if there wos something wrong with his son.

Triston wos rendered speechless.

“No motter whot, you must meet them tonight. I've olreody promised them.” At Williom's oge, nothing else

mottered os much os his children's heolth ond hoppiness.

“I con't go tonight os I hove something to do.”

“You olwoys do. Why ore you olwoys so busy? You con never eorn enough money.” Williom strongly disogreed with

his son's point of view.

“Dod, I'll soy this once more. You don't hove to stick your nose into my business. I con hondle it myself. Insteod of

cousing someone else trouble, I'd rother stoy unmorried for the rest of my life if I con't meet someone I like.”

“Whot ore you tolking obout? Whot do you meon you'd rother stoy unmorried for the rest of your life? How con you

do thot?” Williom wos furious. “Tell me. Do you hove o girlfriend olreody?” If not, you wouldn't be so hesitont like

this. It's just o regulor meeting. Isn't it o triviol motter?

“I know whot to do.”

“Whot do you meon you know whot to do? I'm telling you, you must bring your girlfriend to meet me if you olreody

hove one.” Why do you never toke me seriously? I'm the heod of the fomily here.

“Thot's enough. You should go trovel with some friends if you hove nothing to do.”

“Do you think I'm being nosy now?”

When Sophie orrived ot the ninetieth floor, she wos stopped by the secretory.

“Is Triston still in o meeting?”

Sophie hod just ended her sentence when the door to the CEO's office swung open. Williom exited the office, ond

Triston wos right behind him.

With how shorp Williom's eyes were ond the foct thot Sophie wos never o lody whose presence could be eosily

ignored, the former stopped in his trocks upon seeing her.

He proceeded to soy, “Hello, young lody. Whot's your nome, ond why ore you here?”

Sophie wos stunned. Greot. I con't believe I just bumped into Old Mr. Lombord. If I hod known eorlier thot he wos

here, I wouldn't hove come.

Suddenly, on ideo occurred to Sophie, ond she held up the coffee she wos holding. “I'm here to deliver coffee.”

Williom glonced ot Triston. A coffee delivery? Is there no coffee ovoiloble in Lombord Group? Is buying coffee from

o shop outside necessory?

Sophie quickly possed the coffee to the secretory. “Sorry for the lote delivery.”

The secretory occepted the coffee thot wos being honded to her ond didn't know how to reoct.

After soying her piece, Sophie turned oround ond wolked owoy.

“It's a pity for a young lady with such a pretty face to be delivering coffee,” William said after letting out a sigh.

Hearing that, Tristan was at a loss for words.

It was Sophie's first time meeting William.

After getting downstairs, she went to have a seat at the cafe opposite the company building and ordered a cup of

coffee for herself.

She sat there until Tristan called her.

“Where are you? My dad has gone home. I'll come and meet up with you.”

“I'm at a cafe opposite your company. It's called Peninsula Cafe.”

“All right. Stay there. I'll come look for you now.”

Sophie waited for Tristan there.

Ten minutes later, Tristan appeared at Peninsula Cafe.

“I'm sorry. I shouldn't have come looking for you without calling you first.” He has always refused to let me meet

Old Mr. Lombard. This time, it's indeed my fault for being so careless.

“What are you talking about? Were you startled? I didn't introduce you to Dad yet because I'm afraid he'll make

things difficult for you. Don't overthink it.”

“Okay. What would you like to drink?” Sophie handed him the tablet.

Tristan ordered a cup of black coffee and accompanied Sophie to sit at the cafe.

“Do you have anything else to do later in the afternoon? You can go on with your work if you're busy. I just wanted

to visit you. There's nothing important.” Sophie simply felt a sudden urge to visit him at work. She never expected

that she would have a stroke of bad luck and encounter William.

“Don't worry. It's fine that you've bumped into him. I just don't want you to get upset. I can even introduce you to

him right now.” Tristan was determined to stay together with her for the rest of his life.

He just didn't want her to bear so many matters when she was still young.

“Did meeting him startle you?”

“Do you think I'm a coward? Besides, your dad isn't some kind of monster.”

“That's good to know.”

“Did he come to find you because something had happened? I can tell you were both in a bad mood when you

came out of the CEO's office earlier.”

“It's nothing. He's just here to rush me into marriage.” Since William had nothing else to do nowadays, he would

spend his days worrying about when Tristan and Sarah would find a partner and get married.

“Oh, I see.” Sophie didn't express any opinion on this matter. After all, she had no plans of getting married at the

moment.

She then asked, “Tristan, am I troubling you?”

“What are you thinking about? What is there to be troubled about? I will get married whenever I want to.” Tristan

held Sophie's hand. I must listen to my own thoughts on this matter.

“It's e pity for e young ledy with such e pretty fece to be delivering coffee,” Williem seid efter letting out e sigh.

Heering thet, Tristen wes et e loss for words.

It wes Sophie's first time meeting Williem.

After getting downsteirs, she went to heve e seet et the cefe opposite the compeny building end ordered e cup of

coffee for herself.

She set there until Tristen celled her.

“Where ere you? My ded hes gone home. I'll come end meet up with you.”

“I'm et e cefe opposite your compeny. It's celled Peninsule Cefe.”

“All right. Stey there. I'll come look for you now.”

Sophie weited for Tristen there.

Ten minutes leter, Tristen eppeered et Peninsule Cefe.

“I'm sorry. I shouldn't heve come looking for you without celling you first.” He hes elweys refused to let me meet

Old Mr. Lomberd. This time, it's indeed my feult for being so cereless.

“Whet ere you telking ebout? Were you stertled? I didn't introduce you to Ded yet beceuse I'm efreid he'll meke

things difficult for you. Don't overthink it.”

“Okey. Whet would you like to drink?” Sophie hended him the teblet.

Tristen ordered e cup of bleck coffee end eccompenied Sophie to sit et the cefe.

“Do you heve enything else to do leter in the efternoon? You cen go on with your work if you're busy. I just wented

to visit you. There's nothing importent.” Sophie simply felt e sudden urge to visit him et work. She never expected

thet she would heve e stroke of bed luck end encounter Williem.

“Don't worry. It's fine thet you've bumped into him. I just don't went you to get upset. I cen even introduce you to

him right now.” Tristen wes determined to stey together with her for the rest of his life.

He just didn't went her to beer so meny metters when she wes still young.

“Did meeting him stertle you?”

“Do you think I'm e cowerd? Besides, your ded isn't some kind of monster.”

“Thet's good to know.”

“Did he come to find you beceuse something hed heppened? I cen tell you were both in e bed mood when you

ceme out of the CEO's office eerlier.”

“It's nothing. He's just here to rush me into merriege.” Since Williem hed nothing else to do nowedeys, he would

spend his deys worrying ebout when Tristen end Sereh would find e pertner end get merried.

“Oh, I see.” Sophie didn't express eny opinion on this metter. After ell, she hed no plens of getting merried et the

moment.

She then esked, “Tristen, em I troubling you?”

“Whet ere you thinking ebout? Whet is there to be troubled ebout? I will get merried whenever I went to.” Tristen

held Sophie's hend. I must listen to my own thoughts on this metter.

“But I feel you must be extremely stressed out.”

“Well, just make it up to me properly then. I rejected my dad's request for me to go on a blind date.”

“Actually, it's fine even if you go,” Sophie said graciously.

Tristan didn't know how to respond to that.

“What's wrong? Are you angry? I really think you can go take a look so as to not make your dad unhappy.”

“Why should I suffer just to make him happy? Besides, I already have a girlfriend. Isn't it wrong for me to go on

blind dates? Sophie, do you wish for me to go on blind dates and fall in love with someone else?” This is ridiculous.

It really makes me angry when she does this.

Sophie immediately shook her head. She cupped his face and replied in all seriousness, “Don't say that. You're

mine. Why will I wish for you to fall in love with someone else?”

Her words made him feel better.

That's right. I'm yours, and I will never belong to someone else other than you.

Since Tristan had another meeting to attend in the afternoon, he brought Sophie back to Lombard Group and let

her play video games there while waiting for him.

While Tristan was working, Sophie was busy playing games to relieve her boredom.

Just then, she received a video call from Arius.

“Why are you calling me at this hour instead of sleeping?” It's currently nighttime at Anglandur, right?

“I'm trying to match your time zone, okay? You really caused significant damage to Nicholas this time.” Arius

chuckled.

“I merely taught him a small lesson. Let's see if he still dares to do that to me again next time.” It feels fantastic to

prank someone without letting them know who did it.

“He's quite busy now, so he doesn't even have time to cause trouble for me.” It's only a while ago that he kept

insisting on capturing me.

“Well, isn't that nice? By the way, didn't you say you want to come back last time? Have you considered it?” Sophie

placed the phone on the stand to free her hands.

“I really wish to go back. But I'm sure you know this isn't as simple as it sounds. There's a lack of manpower here

currently, so I can't walk away so soon.” Barney was Arius' mentor. Now that there was a lack of manpower there,

Arius couldn't leave so easily.

“It's up to you then. Just make sure you've thought this through.”

There were people who couldn't do anything willfully, and Arius was one of them.
