Pursuing Her

Chapter 264

Find Her Within A Week “Stop running, or I’ll call the police!” shouted the security guard as he chased after them. Pfft! As if we’d just let you catch us! Sophie turned around and pulled a face at the security guard. Because of her good looks and popularity in Horington High School, the security guard could recognize her instantly. “Stop running, Sophie!” the security guard yelled while panting heavily from all the running. That only prompted Sophie to smile even brighter than before.

Turning around, Tristan felt his heart race when he saw her beautiful smile. He felt as if he had fallen for her all over again. Man, I love how Sophie looks so dazzling when she smiles! She’s just so irresistible that I can’t seem to take my eyes off her! This time, instead of vaulting over the wall, Sophie ran out the front gate with Tristan’s hand in hers. The security guard stopped chasing after them when he realized he couldn’t catch up to them. Honestly, Sophie didn’t really do anything wrong. Those rumors about her only existed because people got jealous of her beauty. I should never have believed those rumors. “Who were they?” the guard stationed in the security room asked, as he didn’t get to see their faces earlier. “There aren’t many valuables in this school, so you don’t have to take your job that seriously, you know?” “It was that really beautiful girl, Sophie Tanner! Do you remember her?” “Didn’t she transfer to another school? Why did she come back?”

The fact that he knew Sophie as well showed just how popular she was. Of course, Sophie couldn’t hear what the two guards were saying, as she was already far away from the school grounds. Tristan was still holding her hand as they walked down the street. Sophie’s face was still red from all that running, which made her look all the more attractive. “How do you want to head back? By plane? By train? Or by car?” “Whichever you prefer!” “We’ll head back by car, then. We’re in no rush, so we can enjoy the view if we drive home.” “Okay!” Sophie had no objections whatsoever. The two of them then packed their stuff at the hotel and drove off. After tracking them down, Nicholas arrived at the hotel

right after they left. “She just left with another man, Boss,” reported his assistant. “D*mn it!” Nicholas slammed his fist against the wall in frustration. Why didn’t I get here sooner?

It wasn’t easy tracking her down, so I can’t just give up now! “We should head back, Boss. There’s lots of work waiting for you in Anglandur.” It’s extremely risky for us to go running around searching for someone in Chanaea! Things can get really dangerous if our enemies find out we’re here! “No, I must capture Sophie!” There’s no way I’m letting her get away from me this time! I’ll do whatever it takes to capture her! “But Boss—” The assistant fell silent when Nicholas shot him a fierce glare. D*mn, why does my job as an assistant have to be so tough? Does he not understand that it’s my duty to ensure his safety? With that in mind, the assistant spoke up again. “Boss, Old Mr. Sable might come after Sophie if he finds out you’re risking your life for her.” Nicholas got so irritated that he slapped his assistant hard across the face. “That’s none of your business!” All he wanted was to get his hands on Sophie as soon as possible. The assistant insisted on getting his message across even after being slapped. “I’m saying this for your own good, Boss! Old Mr. Sable is—” Nicholas’ expression became twisted when he thought of Sophie’s irresistibly beautiful face. “Just keep searching!” he yelled. I’ve never once believed that Sophie’s dead.

There’s no way I’ll give up so easily now that I finally managed to track her down! Their conversation was interrupted when the assistant’s phone rang all of a sudden. The assistant’s face went pale when he saw that it was Nicholas’ father calling. He didn’t want to answer the phone, but he didn’t dare ignore the call either. After hesitating for a bit, the assistant answered the call and handed Nicholas the phone. “It’s from Old Mr. Sable, Boss,” he said respectfully. Nicholas shot him a menacing glare in response, much to the poor assistant’s terror. This has nothing to do with me. I wasn’t the one who ratted Boss out, but I doubt he’d believe me even if I told him that… With a reluctant look on his face, Nicholas took the phone and asked, “What is it?” “You return from Horington right this instant!” Nicholas got so mad that he smashed his assistant’s phone on the floor afterward. Terrified by his sudden outburst, the assistant could only stand there in complete silence.

“We’ll head back for now. Have our men continue tracking her down. Find out where Sophie is within a week, or you’re fired!” Nicholas said coldly before getting into the car. The assistant shuddered as he stood there in the freezing cold. We could not find her even after three years, and he expects me to get it done in a week? This is ridiculous! Where do I even start? Tristan wasn’t driving very fast as they weren’t in a hurry, so they were able to enjoy the scenery along the way. Since the two of them rarely got to spend such quality time together, he didn’t want to head back too soon. It was already seven in the evening by the time they arrived in Jipsdale. Ysabelle wanted to have dinner with them when she heard about their return, so she and Felix had been waiting for them at the entrance of the highway. Tristan felt really tempted to act as if he didn’t see Felix’s car when he got off the highway. What the heck is wrong with these two? Why won’t they just leave us alone?

Go on a freaking date or something for all I care! Of course, Felix was oblivious to those thoughts of his. He waved at them upon spotting them. Tristan had no choice but to pull over when he saw how excited the two looked. Ysabelle ran up to the car and knocked on the window the moment it came to a complete halt. Her excited expression was the first thing Sophie saw when she rolled down the window.

“Oh, Sophie! You’re finally back! You have no idea how much I’ve missed you!” She had been waiting for over an hour just so she could have dinner with them. “Didn’t I tell you two to wait for us at Blossom Garden? Why did you come all the way here?” Honestly, there’s no need for them to be doing this! It’s such a waste of time and energy! Ysabelle bit her lip and replied, “I couldn’t help it! I was really eager to see you!” “That’s right, Mr. Tristan. This is entirely her idea. I’m just the driver here. She was so eager to come see Sophie that I couldn’t even stop her!”This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
