Chapter 222

Chapter 222 Wrong Move Felix was rendered speechless. “If that’s the case, Mr. Tristan, what’s the

point of continuing this conversation?” Sophie asked. Sophie’s words made sense to Felix. Why am I

bringing this upon myself? Wouldn’t it be nice if I stayed in the office and enjoyed the air conditioning?

Why did I have to come here to torture myself? Sophie got to her feet and was about to pick up the tray

to return it when Tristan stopped her. He was never going to let her do that. “Just leave it to Felix. He’ll

handle it. There’s no need for you to do it.” With that, Tristan handed Felix both their trays.

Felix was befuddled. Did I say yes? Did I say I’d return their trays? He keeps getting on my nerves!

How dare he keep bullying me? “What’s wrong? Do you have a problem with it? Don’t worry. I’ll

definitely listen to you if you tell me about it.” “Really?” Felix was even more doubtful of Tristan. He was

never going to believe the latter’s words. “Let’s hear it.” Tristan smirked. Noting his expression, Felix

shot to his feet. Forget it. Why should I? I’m nothing in the presence of Sophie. What’s the point of

talking about rights? I don’t have them. I don’t have them at all. Silently, Felix picked up the trays and

returned them. Oh, well. I should say nothing and just do my tasks. “Mr. Tristan, don’t you think you’re

bullying him too much?” Sophie asked. Felix looks quite pitiful. “You think so, too? I’ll go easier on him

next time, then.” Nathan was thoroughly speechless. He quietly returned the trays to their designated

spot. What on earth? This is ridiculous.

How could they do this to me? Alas, he could only seethe in silence. When he had returned from

putting back the trays, he said immediately, “All right. I’ll get going since I’ve still got some work to do.”

“Are you sure you’re going to leave just like that?” “Why not? Do I look like a masochist? Why would I

make myself suffer by watching you two publicly displaying your affection for one another?” “All right. If

you want to leave so much, then I shall not stop you. I wonder if Ysabelle will be bored when she

comes later in the afternoon.” “What? Really? Are you pulling my leg?” The cafeteria’s floor was a little

slippery. Before the employee could even start cleaning, Tristan grabbed Sophie’s waist to prevent her

from falling. “I’m fine, Mr. Tristan. Besides, I don’t think this is appropriate when there are so many

employees from your company in this cafeteria.” “There’s nothing inappropriate about this,” Tristan

said. He did not think it was a big deal when he was finally showing his affection for her.

“Mr. Tristan, I know you’re really nice to me. Anyway, I’m going to Quadfield for a business trip in a few

days. Can I bring Ysabelle along with me?” Felix asked. Tristan raised his brow. This man is starting to

forget his place just because I’m treating him a little nicer. “Felix, Ysabelle is still very young. Don’t you

think you’re going a little too far?” “But Sophie’s younger than Ysabelle,” Felix could not help but

mumble. Sophie feigned ignorance at those words. In all seriousness, Tristan was a gentlemanly

person. Even if she was alone with him, the most he would do were giving her hugs and kisses.

“Excuse me. I’m not the same as you. I’ve gotten her parent’s approval. What about you? Have you

done the same?” Tristan refuted. He was someone approved by Josiah. “Fine. You win!” Felix snapped.

It was not going to be easy for Felix to date Ysabelle. After all, they had a huge age gap between them.

Felix felt a little depressed. Suddenly, Sophie, who had been silent the entire time, spoke.

“Felix, I believe you’ll succeed.” Her encouragement cheered Felix up. “That’s right. I’ll definitely make

it,” said Felix. How could I give up when I haven’t started pursuing her? Soon, the trio returned to

Tristan’s office. When Felix saw Sophie playing a game on her phone, he quickly hurried over. “You

play this game, too?” asked Felix. He occasionally played the game when he was feeling bored. In fact,

his rank was quite high. “Let’s have a match,” Felix suggested, taking a seat in front of her. “Sure.”

Hearing her agreement, Felix instantly formed a group, added her as a friend, and also added her into

the group. “I’ve got to warn you. I won’t go easy on you. Don’t cry when you lose, okay?” Felix said,

chuckling. Sophie was utterly baffled by his words. Where on earth did he get that confidence from? I

play this game seriously, too. “Don’t worry. I won’t cry. Just make sure you don’t.” Felix took a deep

breath and pulled himself together. I’m going to win one round today, no matter what. She’s going to

lose! Right then, Tristan walked over to Sophie. “Trash him however you want,” he said. He knew

Sophie was quite skilled since he had watched her playing games before. “Don’t cross the line, Mr.

Tristan. Haven’t you seen my ranking? I’ve been playing this game for some time. Tsk. I wanted to go

easy on Sophie. Now that you two have said so, I guess I’ll be letting you down if I don’t bully Sophie.”

“So you want to bully her, eh?

That really depends on if you have what it takes. What’s the use of just building castles in the air?”

Tristan said disdainfully. “Very well. You are very brave. Since you’ve said so, I won’t be going easy,

then. Otherwise, I’ll be letting your expectations down.” “Cut the cr*ap. Just start already,” said Sophie,

pressing the start button. Felix was on full alert, waiting with bated breath. However, the game had just

started, but he looked as though he was already losing. “Pfft. How ambitious of you to want to bully

Sophie with that skill of yours.” Tristan could not be bothered to continue watching. After all, it was clear

who was going to win. There was nothing fun about watching it. Sure enough, Felix lost terribly in the

first match, while Sophie won it easily. “Sophie, you must’ve purchased game credits, right? I’ve never

bought any with my account. There’s nothing to be proud of about winning this round if you’ve bought

game credits,” Felix commented. That must be the only reason she won. Otherwise, how could Sophie

play so well without purchasing game credits?

“Purchasing game credits? Do you think I have the money to do that?” Felix refused to accept her

answer. “Are you even human, Sophie? You must be an alien, aren’t you?” Felix asked seriously.

Hearing that, Sophie stared at him as if he was a lunatic. What’s wrong with him? Tristan, on the other

hand, could not help but laugh out loud. “Oh, please forgive him. He’s never encountered such a strong

opponent. In fact, it’s his first time losing so terribly. It’s only normal for him to go a little crazy.” Felix

was utterly upset. This couple is too united. I am not a match against them. Urgh, I can’t even win

against them in arguments. Oh, this is so sad. “Is Ysabelle really coming?” he asked.

Truth was, he was waiting there just to meet Ysabelle. “I’m not sure. Why don’t you give her a call and

ask her about it? You can leave if you have matters to deal with. I don’t think there’ll be anyone asking

you to stay.” Those words left Felix speechless. Forget it. I’ll bear with this for the sake of Ysabelle.

“Let’s have another match. I must’ve played the wrong move just now.” “Are you sure?” Sophie asked.

She had already exited the game and put down her phone. Both of them were on totally different levels.

“I’m sure. Come on. I don’t believe I can’t win. I’m going to make you lose terribly this time.”

Chapter 223 Password “Felix, who do you wanna beat, huh? You’re really daring. How dare you lay

your hands on our Sophie!” Ysabelle heard Felix’s voice the moment she reached the door and rushed

in at once. When Felix saw his beloved, he quickly said with a pitiful expression, “Ysabelle, you’re

finally here! Before you came, the two of them kept bullying me. It was really bad that there was no one

on my side.

Do you know how helpless I felt?” “Oh,” Ysabelle replied as she put down her bag and walked toward

Sophie. Standing behind the woman, she continued, “Sophie, feel free to torture him. Don’t hold back

yeah!” Felix was speechless when he heard that. She had blatantly ignored his plea for sympathy. It

was as if she had not heard anything he had just said. The man sighed and said, “Why is my life so

miserable? No one listens to me, and no one wants to help me.” Felix was wallowing in self-pity and

started feeling more and more miserable as he spoke. “You…” Ysabelle was completely speechless

after hearing the man’s words and did not know what to say to him. “Let’s start now!” Since Felix was

so keen on playing, Sophie decided to grant his wish and make him lose everything he had. Felix had

the upper hand at the start of the game. Feeling pleased, he said smugly, “Ysabelle, you’re my lucky

star indeed! My luck has started to pick up ever since you got here.” Ysabelle could not help but glare

at him. It’s just a game. What has his luck got to do with me! “Sophie, you can do it!

Look at how smug he is. You need to show him your prowess and make him beg for mercy.” What’s

there to be smug about? Sophie replied with an okay sign and said, “Don’t worry. He won’t be laughing

for long.” Ysabelle was utterly mesmerized by the look in Sophie’s eyes when she said that. “Sophie,

you’re so cool! You’re totally my fantasy!” Felix was slightly infuriated when he saw that Ysabelle was

behaving just like a teenage girl who was talking to her idol. “Ysabelle, she’s a woman.” Felix could not

help but remind Ysabelle. He had no doubts that if he had not spoken up, Ysabelle would really end up

falling in love with Sophie. Although the man could not deny that Sophie was indeed very charming, he

was not pleased that the woman he liked was also falling for her charm.

“So what? Are you discriminating against homosexuals?” Ysabelle asked without worrying that she

would be judged. “No. Why would I?” Felix was at an utter loss for words. Since anything he said

seemed to be wrong, he decided to keep quiet. Felix ended up losing the game miserably after being

distracted. There was simply nothing he could do to turn the situation around. With that, he tossed his

phone aside. His beloved had finally arrived, but she ended up becoming Sophie’s ally instead.

Previously, it was two against one, and it ended up becoming three against one. Is this really my fate?

Why is it so miserable! “Are you willing to admit defeat now? If not, we can always go for another

round.” Sophie was confident that she would be able to crush Felix no matter how many games they

played. Felix fell on the couch and pretended to faint. He did not feel like speaking as he needed to

reflect on his life and find out why he was such a failure! Ysabelle could not help but laugh in

amusement at the man’s reaction. She grabbed a toothpick and took a piece of fruit for Felix. “Here,

have some fruits. Don’t be too disheartened. Losing a few games to Sophie isn’t that embarrassing.”

“All right then!” Felix sat up and had some fruits with Ysabelle. Seeing that the man had perked up,

Ysabelle returned to sit next to Sophie. “Sophie, how can you be so amazing!

You’re as good as those professional players!” Although Ysabelle was not a gamer, her deskmate

enjoyed playing games and would watch gaming streams whenever she had free time. As such

Ysabelle knew a bit about games. “I’m just average!” Sophie replied humbly. She did not think that

playing games well was a big deal. “You should have some fruits too!” Ysabelle passed Sophie a piece

of fruit. Instead of taking it over from Ysabelle, Sophie ate it from the woman’s hand directly. Seeing

that, Felix was no longer able to remain calm. What was that??? “I want you to feed me too,” Felix said

to Ysabelle. Ysabelle was speechless. “Well, it’s up to you whether you want to eat it or not!” Ysabelle

chose to ignore the man’s request. There was no way she was going to feed him. “Ysabelle, I didn’t

know you’re someone who would show favoritism!” Felix continued eating the fruits. I need to be

strong. I can take care of myself! After hanging out for a while, Tristan and Felix went to attend a

meeting, leaving Sophie and Ysabelle in the office. Ysabelle started watching the videos on singing

tutorials that Sophie had sent her, while Sophie turned on Tristan’s computer.

However, Tristan’s computer was password-protected. “What’s wrong?” Noticing Sophie’s inaction,

Ysabelle walked toward the woman and saw the login screen. “Oh, it’s password-protected! Try Uncle

Tristan’s birthday? 1XXXXX,” Ysabelle guessed. “Never mind! I don’t have to use the computer. Or I

can borrow one from the secretaries instead.” Since Tristan added a password to his laptop, it was

probably because he did not want others to use it. As such, Sophie decided to forget about it. “What

are you afraid of? It’s just a computer. If you ask for it, Uncle Tristan would gladly give you his life!”

Seeing that Sophie did not reply, Ysabelle continued, “I’m serious. Trust me!” Ysabelle proceeded to

type in Tristan’s birthday in the password box. However, it was not the correct password. As Ysabelle’s

password was her birthday, she had assumed that it would be the same for everyone else! How is this

possible! “Let’s try my birthday instead!” Ysabelle suggested, thinking that it was possible, given that

Tristan used to treat her pretty well. However, it was still the wrong password. “Could his password be

your birthday instead? That would be so romantic!” “Soph, let’s try your birthday!” Ysabelle said

expectantly, feeling pretty sure that they would finally get it right! “Let’s just forget it! I can just use my

phone.” Sophie had promised The Wheelers that she would write them a song. As she was feeling

rather bored and happened to have some inspiration, she thought of penning something down.

However, since she did not have access to a computer, she decided to write it another day instead as it

wasn’t urgent.

“It wouldn’t hurt for us to try!” Ysabelle entered Sophie’s password, but it was still incorrect. Ysabelle

was overwhelmed with awkwardness when she saw that, and she even had the urge to chop her hands

off that instant. That was such a stupid idea! It’s so awkward now! “Ummm… Soph, Uncle Tristan is

someone who doesn’t think like us! So, it doesn’t matter if his password isn’t your birthday.”

“It’s fine. I’m not that narcissistic!” Initially, Sophie wasn’t curious but she was really interested to know

what Tristan’s password was at that moment. However, she couldn’t hack into Tristan’s computer when

Ysabelle was still around as that would seem too insolent!
