Changing Only For Her

Chapter 795

Barney had expected that outcome. Arius’ greatest weakness is his laziness. He doesn’t want to spend too much time managing anything and instead prefers to focus on research.

“Don’t look at me like that, Dr. Smith. I also just want to do my research,” remarked Sophie. I have way too many things to handle. My energy is limited.

Barney was speechless. I can’t believe both of them treat the position as a hot potato, even though many people desire it.

A sigh slipped past his lips. “Fine. Let’s not talk about this for now. Come, let us eat!” He then brought everyone to the dining table.

When he saw Tristan’s present, he was overjoyed because he genuinely loved drinking red wine.

“Since everyone’s free today, let us drink a little! The ten bottles of red wine Mr. Tristan gifted me are really high-quality!” said Barney as he popped a bottle open.

“I still need to drive later, so I’ll pass,” Tristan rejected. I need to send the two of them back, after all.

Barney insisted, “It’s fine. You can just call for a designated driver later. Everyone’s so happy today, so just drink a little.”

Sophie nodded.

Even though they were in Chanaea, they were having Western cuisine because that was the only type of food Barney’s wife knew how to prepare.

Therefore, even though Barney liked the local food, he could do nothing about it.

They chatted as they ate. By the time dinner was over, it was already almost seven. Sophie, Tristan, and Arius didn’t stay for long afterward. They left once the designated driver arrived.

“Your mentees are wonderful, Darling,” Barney’s wife remarked as she cleaned things up after they left.

“Indeed they are. It’s why I came here without caring about anything else.” Barney was naturally contented with his mentees. It’s okay if they don’t want to helm the medical association. As long as they keep doing their research, I’ll find a way to make them accept those roles. I’m getting old, so I can’t hold this position forever.

Tristan asked the driver to send Arius back home first before sending him and Sophie to their home.

Upon reaching their destination, Tristan began busying about again. Meanwhile, Sophie was talking to someone on the phone.

Occasionally, Tristan would glance at her. She sure has a lot of secrets. Although, it’s fine if she doesn’t want to tell me about them. I won’t interrogate her. One day, I’ll make her reveal all her secrets to me willingly. After all, we still have an entire lifetime to understand each other. I’m in no rush.

Sophie was speaking to Butterfly on the phone because the latter had been acting a little too self- indulgent. “Don’t go overboard, Butterfly, or you’ll find yourself trapped.” I’ve been feeling really uneasy lately.

“Why are you saying that, Sophie? If I didn’t have someone as amazing as you as my support, I wouldn’t go that far. Also, I met Nicholas yesterday,” Butterfly informed her. The mere mention of the man still terrified her.

“Mhm. Stay far away from him, and don’t provoke him. He’s a maniac.”

“Don’t worry, I know. I value my life. Oh yeah, one more thing. Yesterday, I unintentionally received news that the people from International Medical Association are targeting you all. Be careful. “

While the field of medicine had no national borders, the scientists working in the field did.

Anglandur didn’t want the medical association in Chanaea to become too powerful or surpass them.

Thus, they kept trying to take Sophie and her colleagues down. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

“I think they installed a spy at the medical association, so be careful,” warned Butterfly. I don’t know who it is, but their research may be sabotaged if it’s true.

Staring at her hand, Sophie replied, “Thanks for telling me. You should be careful, too.”

“Got it. I know you two are inseparable, and you don’t want to waste time on me, so bye-bye!”

Silently, Sophie hung up and sat next to Tristan. “Busy?”

Tristan was reading a report about the death of a high-ranking official in Lombard Group. The authority claimed it was suicide, but he had his doubts. “No. Who were you talking to?”

“Butterfly. She’s in Anglandur right now, so I told her not to cause any trouble. Otherwise, if something happens, I won’t be able to save her.”

“That woman is bold. You should tell her to behave herself,” he suggested. Sophie seems to be surrounded by bold people.

He then said, “By the way, how will you deal with Wilma’s matter? I’ve told Sean about it, so when the time comes, tell Wilma to meet with Sean. With him around, Phineas won’t dare to do anything.”

“Don’t worry. I’ve taken care of the matter. He will willingly divorce her. I’ll also make sure he won’t harass Ms. Lineker again.”

Just thinking about Phineas pissed Sophie off.

“Willow has been obedient lately. If she keeps up with her good behavior, I won’t send her back.” He had assigned people to monitor Willow.

“You don’t need to bother with her,” remarked Sophie. Even though her ambitions are higher than the sky, her intelligence isn’t, so I doubt she can cause much trouble.

She spent the next few days either visiting her relatives or spending a lovely time with Tristan. Soon, the year was over.

Many things in the Chanaean Medical Association were still waiting for them to handle.

The research on the new disease had reached its most critical moment. Therefore, they had to complete it soon.

After the holiday period was over, people returned to their posts in Chanaean Medical Association. As it turned out, Georgina had prepared gifts for Arius and Sophie.

When she handed a present to Sophie, she said, “See if you like it, Sophie.”

Upon opening the gift box, Sophie saw a delicate bracelet inside and beamed. “Thank you, Georgina.” I should prepare a present for her later. After all, friends should reciprocate each other’s kindness.

Georgina bit her lip. “I’m glad you like it. I thought it looked pretty and suited you, so I bought it.”

Then she shyly delivered Arius’ present to him. “I hope you’ll be willing to accept my gift, Professor Gullifer.”

Arius smiled. “Georgina, you…” How do I reject her? I know she likes me, but I’m not ready for a romantic relationship yet.
