“That’s not what I had in mind, Mr. Tristan!” Felix immediately denied it. What did I do to make him think I’m a pervert?
“Mr. Tristan, I’m just a little curious. Ms. Tanner is such a gorgeous lady. Don’t you have any thoughts about her?”
Tristan shot a murderous glare at Felix, forcing him to shut his mouth.
After checking into the hotel rooms and changing into fresh clothes, Sophie heard a knock on their door.
She opened the door and saw Tristan standing outside. “Yes, Mr. Tristan? How can I help you?”
Sophie was still wearing the hotel’s bathrobe. She probably had just come out of the shower since her hair was still wet. Her rosy cheeks were exceptionally seductive.
“I just want to give you this.” Tristan then gave her a bag.
Sophie looked into the bag and saw bottles of pills in it. “I don’t need this. I’m not ill.” Why should I take these medicines? Can’t he see I’m not sick?
“Didn’t you have a sore throat? These pills can relieve your discomfort. Well, they’re not exactly medicines but lozenges.”
Sophie eventually accepted the bag. “Is there anything else?”
“Nope. Let’s have dinner together later!”
“Sure, but Ysabelle is still in the shower. I’ll text you when she’s ready.” Sophie did not allow Tristan to enter their room. She thought it was inappropriate for him to come in when Ysabelle was still in the bathroom. It’s just not right for him to be around even though they were related.
Tristan could not help but chuckle at how hard-hearted she was when shutting him out.
Soon, Ysabelle got out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her body.
“Who was it? Ms. Lineker? I’ll be ready in a minute.” Ysabelle was thrilled as she had looked forward to this trip.
“Take your time, don’t worry.”
Ysabelle started putting on makeup. As a nineteen-year-old, she was particular about her looks. She could do anything she wanted to flaunt her beauty since she was away from school.
While she went to the restroom to do her makeup, Sophie lolled on the couch in the hotel room, even though her hair was still wet.
Her phone rang, and she answered the call.
“Phantom, are you in Koandria? Please do me a favor.” Butterfly sounded irritated.
“What is it?” Sophie was annoyed by the call. Lately, she had not been enthusiastic about anything.
“Wings of Light has recently accepted a project, but we’re at our wits’ end. We’re wondering if you could help us out.”
“You mean all of you can’t settle the project?”
As the founder of Wings of Light, Sophie was responsible for ensuring the success of the projects they accepted.
“All right.”
Butterfly might be twenty-five years old, but when she was with Sophie, who was only in her teenage years, Butterfly behaved like an elementary school pupil.
“Got it. Email me the details, and I’ll take it from there.”
“Phantom, I know you’re confident in yourself, but you ought to be careful. They’re not easy to deal with.”
Wings of Light was a legendary organization, and many people had the utmost respect for it.
But some people also wanted Wings of Light to fall from grace.
Many hackers were eager to expose Phantom’s identity. By doing so, they could become the world’s number one.
That was why whenever Phantom accepted a project, countless hackers would try to get through her firewalls, hoping they could expose her identity.
“You worry too much.” I’ve yet to identify a worthy opponent.
“Phantom, I know you’ve great skills, and nobody can defeat you. But now, the hackers in Anglandur have formed an alliance to find out who you are.”
“Well, I’ll be more than willing to kneel before them and concede defeat if they could take me down,” Sophie uttered condescendingly.
Butterfly sighed. Despite knowing Phantom was invincible, Butterfly was still worried about her.
After all, hackers were not civic-minded and law-abiding citizens.
Meanwhile, Ysabelle, who had completed her makeup, had changed into a beautiful purple skirt.
When she saw Sophie was still wearing the bathrobe, she pulled her over.
“Excuse me, Ms. Tanner! Why are you still in your bathrobe? We’re leaving soon! Quick, get changed. I’ll help you with makeup.” It would have been a waste if Soph didn’t doll herself up. She’s such a beauty!
“That won’t be necessary. I’ll just change into something casual.”
“Nope. I bought this same dress for you. Since I’m wearing it, you have to wear it too.”
Sophie glanced at Ysabelle’s purple skirt and was not a big fan of it. It’s so inconvenient to walk in that skirt!
“Please, Soph? We’re besties, right?”
“All right. Fine!”
Ysabelle gave Sophie a big hug. Yay! Soph’s the best!
The dress that Ysabelle bought Sophie was from the same brand as her own, but it gave off a different vibe. The dress Ysabelle wore made her look like a princess in a fairy tale, whereas Sophie’s made her look like a celebrity.
Sophie looked so great in the dress that even Ysabelle whistled when she saw her.
“Wow! You look really pretty!”
Sophie simply shrugged and flashed her a smile in response.
This dress does indeed look nice and suits my style really well, but it’s really inconvenient. I have to be careful when I sit down or I might expose myself without even realizing it!
“Come here, Soph! I’ll help you with your makeup!” Ysabelle had recently gotten into makeup and even bought some from Transfix Cosmetics.
“No, thanks. I don’t like that stuff on my face.”
“Ms. Tanner, have you forgotten that you are now selling cosmetics? How will the customers have faith in the product if you don’t use it?”
“They can just not use it.”
Applying makeup is a real hassle and takes way too much time. Don’t even get me started on how troublesome the makeup removal process is…
“Come on, Soph! Let me give it a shot! You know how I’ve gotten into makeup lately!”
Jeez… I have got to choose my friends more carefully…
“Ms. Lombard, is it possible for me to end our friendship?”
“Sorry, but it’s too late for that now!” Realizing that she had given her consent, Ysabelle quickly sat her down at the dressing table and went to town on her face.
Thanks to Sophie’s naturally beautiful face and Ysabelle’s amazing skills, Ysabelle got the makeup done in less than ten minutes.
Using the same technique she saw in videos and tutorials, Ysabelle then braided Sophie’s hair and said, “See? You look even prettier than Cecelia!”
She’s clearly very proud of her handiwork…
“Come on, let’s go for dinner,” Sophie urged her as it was already six in the evening.
“Okay!” Ysabelle replied with a smile.
Both Tristan’s and Felix’s eyes lit up when the two girls showed up in front of them.
“Well? What do you think? I might actually consider becoming a stylist in the future,” Ysabelle asked with her head held high.
Felix was still in awe as he looked at her from head to toe.
“You look beautiful, Belle!”
Due to him being a blunt and dense guy, “beautiful” was the only compliment he knew.
Ysabelle let out a proud snort and said, “I know, right? I think I look amazing too!”
“Sophie looks better,” Tristan commented.
It’s no secret that Sophie looks extremely beautiful. She stunned me with her appearance once at Ysabelle’s birthday party, but this evening gown gives her a different kind of charm!
Ysabelle fell speechless when she heard what he said.
“I don’t care what you say about Sophie. I think Ysabelle looks way better!” Felix said.
“We’re going out for dinner, aren’t we? Come on, let’s get going! I’m starving!” Sophie quickly ended the topic.
Tristan nodded. “Let’s go.”
The two of them then walked out the door together.
“You really want to become a stylist?” Felix asked while fiddling with Ysabelle’s braid.
He was well aware of her recent interest in makeup.
