Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 2 Men Are All Shallow

deaf?” Jack demanded as he reached out to grab Sophie’s hand.Sophie halted in her tracks and spat out the gum she had been chewing a while earlier.“Scram,” came her icy reply.“Ha! You’re quite hot-tempered, huh? You’ve offended someone whom you shouldn’t have offended!” Jack declared.Having said that, he reached out to attack Sophie.Before he could lay a hand on Sophie, she threw him over her shoulders. Jack fell to the ground with a thump, and he could no longer move.“Do you know who I am? My dad is—”His yell was cut short by Sophie, who stepped on his cheek forcefully.“Shut up!” she snapped irritably.The other thugs trembled in fear, for they had no idea Sophie was this good at fighting.“Call my dad!” Jack screamed. “I want Sophie Tanner to leave Horington!”Everyone was pointing fingers at Sophie after seeing what she did to Jack.There was a rumor saying that Sophie used to be a delinquent. She had an abortion in middle school after getting pregnant with a thug’s child. Finding her embarrassing, her family ended up abandoning her in Horington. Thus, she had no choice but to fend for herself.Sophie ignored their horrible insults and strode away.A while later, a black car rolled to a stop beside her. The door was pushed open to reveal a tall and handsome man.Coming to her, the man greeted, “Hello, Ms. Tanner. I am Felix Northley. My employer, Mr. Tristan, would like to talk to you.”Sophie fished out a piece of gum from her pocket and started chewing on it.Felix opened the door to the backseat, so Sophie hopped into the car.The man inside was the very one she saved last night.“You bled a lot but still survived. You’re quite lucky, huh?” Sophie remarked nonchalantly.
