“Okay then! In that case, I'll still helm Chanaean Medical Association for now. However, you two should
think about who'll take my place when the time comes,” stated Barney. Even though so many people
desire my position, they still refuse to occupy it. I can't help but feel resigned.
Sophie and Arius exchanged a glance. Neither wanted the position because they only wished to focus
on conducting experiments.
They had no interest whatsoever in dealing with the matters in Chanaean Medical Association.
“Honestly, Dr. Smith, I think you should nurture Georgina rather than try to appoint one of us as the
next person in charge. She has the potential to do a good job in that position,” Sophie proposed
sincerely.
“Georgina, eh? All right, then! Once I return, I'll observe her for a while. If I find her acceptable, I'll do
just that.” Once again, Barney sighed. I guess I can't count on either of them to take my place, huh?
As it was already nighttime, and everyone was tired, they each went to find a spot to rest.
Sophie and Tristan sat together after he adjusted her seat to lie flat. Then, he said, “I know it's still
early, but you should sleep. Once you wake up, you'll be able to enjoy a delicious Chanaean breakfast.”
He knew she hadn't been eating well in Anglandur, so he had called his subordinates to prepare
breakfast before boarding the plane.
“Mhm! You should sleep too,” replied Sophie. He must also be exhausted after protecting us during this
period. He deserves a good, long rest, too.
After she lay down, Tristan covered her body with a blanket.
Turning toward him, she lost herself in thoughts. Frankly, he has a face I'll never get sick of staring at.
The more time we spend together, the more I like him, so much so that I'm basically addicted to him.
“Are Charles and Bertram still in Fandar? You know, they didn't do anything wrong, so you should let
them off,” suggested Sophie. We're heading back, yet they are still stuck in Fandar. I know this is
Tristan's matter, but they ended up like that because of me, so I think it's fine if I plead leniency for
them.
“I know. We can talk about it after we return,” responded Tristan.
“What's the matter?”
“I'm not happy!”
“Why?” Sophie was confounded. Wasn't he doing okay just a second ago? Why is he suddenly
unhappy?
“Because I don't like you paying so much attention to other men!”
That rendered her speechless. I only care about Bertram and Charles because of him! Otherwise, they
wouldn't have anything to do with me. What is he thinking?
When her train of thought ended there, Sophie explained, “I just don't want to be the reason your
relationship with them sours.”
“I know you're doing this for me, but don't worry. They're my comrades with whom I survived hell and
high water together. It's just that there genuinely are matters in Fandar that need to be dealt with, which
is why I left them there.” While Tristan was a self-indulgent tyrant, he wouldn't treat his close friends
that unkindly.
“I'm aware you're a man who knows what you're doing. There's no way I'd fall in love with a bad man,
after all!” flattered Sophie.
In response, Tristan pinched her cheek. “You've gotten thinner lately.” Even though I've been taking
personal care of her, she still lost weight. It makes me feel awful.
“Maybe because it's been exhausting lately.”
“In that case, once we return home, rest for half a month. Don't do anything else during that period.”
“Rest for half a month? What am I going to do at home during that time? I'll get bored! Two days of rest
is the most I need.”
“Will you still get bored if I'm around?” asked Tristan.
Sophie blinked and refuted, “You still have matters to attend to after we return! You can't stay by my
side all day long. Besides, I bet many things are waiting for you to handle in Lombard Group after
spending so much time away from the company.” I can't be so selfish as to ask him to keep me
company all day long and prevent him from doing what he should.
“It's not an issue,” he replied. I'm the CEO of Lombard Group, am I not? Besides, my subordinates
aren't that useless. They don't need me to solve every issue. “All right, stop thinking and rest. I know
it's much more difficult to sleep on a plane, but you should still try. Even if you can't fall asleep, you
should rest with your eyes closed.”
“Okay.” Thus, Sophie closed her eyes. Even though she thought she couldn't slumber, she did soon
after.
Tristan also shut his eyes and rested.
Meanwhile, Ysabelle couldn't sleep.
Hence, she decided to bother Felix at two in the morning.
Ysabelle: Are you asleep yet, Felix? Am I bothering you? I can't help it. I just can't fall asleep. I get too
excited to rest when I think about how Sophie's returning tomorrow and that I can have fun with her
again. I know I shouldn't act like this, but I just can't control myself!
Felix: It's fine. It's only two right now. You can meet your beloved Sophie in five more hours.
Then he grumbled in his mind. I don't think she has ever been this attached to me, even though I'm her
boyfriend. Now that I think about it, I feel like I have terrible luck. I finally found a girlfriend I
wholeheartedly love, yet I still need to compete with another woman for her attention. What a terrible
fate I have.
The couple chatted until five in the morning. Ysabelle thought she could pick her best friend up at the
airport, but she accidentally fell asleep. By the time she woke up, it was already half past nine in the
morning.
Upon checking the time, she leaped from the bed. D*mmit! How could I have overslept on such an
important day? I don't think I can make it in time if I head to the airport now.
Hastily, she called Sophie. “I'm sorry, Sophie. I overslept, which is why I didn't pick you up at the airport.
Mhm? Ah, yes, of course. I'll be there right away to join you all for breakfast. I can definitely make it!”
Ysabelle stood immediately, packed her things, and drove to Sophie and the others.
Unfortunately, a traffic jam delayed her arrival until noon. It filled her heart with misery.
However, when she finally reached her destination and saw Sophie, she pounced on the latter and
hugged her tightly. “You have no idea how much I missed you, Sophie!”
Sophie pinched Ysabelle's cheek. “Don't you have Felix keeping you company? Is he not enough for
you?”
“He can't be compared to you! In my heart, you're the most important person in my life. Other people
aren't as important.”
Felix happened to enter the room at that moment to hear his girlfriend's remark.
As the edges of his lips twitched, he lamented in his mind. It's just as I expected. Once Sophie returns,
I lose my place in Ysabelle's heart, even though I'm her boyfriend. This sucks!
