    “That’s because you’re truly impressive, Ms. Sophie!”


    If Sophie was not all that capable, things would not have gone so smoothly.

    “Can you two stop ttering each other already? Show some consideration for our feelings, will you?”


    “How is this ttery? Victor is truly exceptional!” Sophie eximed, her tone brimming with sincerity and


    admiration. There was no denying that Victor was a capable man.


    A tad embarrassed by the high praise, Victor uttered modestly, “I didn’t do much, Ms. Sophie. It was


    your leadership that made everything possible.”


    Tristan, feeling a tinge of jealousy, chimed in, “You both did very well, all right? Let’s focus on the food


    now that it’s served. Dig in, everyone!”


    As Sophie continued to heap praise on another man, Tristan couldn’t help but feel a twinge of


    unhappiness, despite it being the truth.


    Casting a nce at Tristan, Victor discreetly raised his wine ss and took a sip. He truly hadn’t


    expected that even someone like Tristan could be so adorable when feeling jealous.


    Sophie ced a serving of barbecue ribs on Tristan’s te.


    “You’re amazing, too. Thank you for supporting me no matter what I do,” she whispered in his ear.


    “Of course! I’ll always have your back, supporting you no matter what decision you make,” the man


    dered with conviction.


    However, Charles only felt tortured by their lovey-dovey interaction.


    “Know your limits, you two! Both Victor and I are still single. You can’t be so cruel to us, you know?” he


    voiced in dismay.


    I shouldn’t havee here tonight! Now, I have to sit here and endure their public disy of affection.


    This is practically torture!


    Just then, Victor raised his ss of wine.


    “Mr. Quigley, let me offer you a toast as a fellow bachelor,” he said jokingly.


    As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. It’s no surprise to see that Ms. Sophie is


    surrounded by prominent figures of Jipsdale who are within sight but beyond reach.


    A smile illuminated Sophie’s visage as she chimed in, “Victor, you shouldn’t devote all of your time to


    Tanner Group. Go out there and find love for yourself. At your age, it’s time to consider settling down.”


    The topic was a source of headache for Victor.


    “My family never misses a chance to bring up the topic whenever I visit them. They keep urging me to


    get married, but finding the right person has been a challenge. Ms. Sophie, with your extensive


    network, do you happen to know anyone who might be a good match for me? I wouldn’t mind if you


    could introduce

    me to someone,” he said half-jokingly.


    “Sure! I’ll introduce you to any potential matches.”

    Everyone present at the table werepatible with one another. There was no hint of awkwardness


    throughout the meal.


    Victor had other matters to attend to after the meal, so did not go with the rest of the group. Meanwhile,


    Tristan shifted his gaze toward Charles, who was still around.


    “We’re done eating. Are you not nning to leave?”


    His words left Charles speechless.


    I was only idling around for a moment! Why is he so mean to me?


    “Fine. I’ll leave right away. I don’t want to be a third wheel either. Are you happy now?” Charles said,


    his wordsced with a hint of contempt. “So much for bros before hoes! A certain somebody wasn’t like


    this prior to getting into a rtionship. How did he change so drastically after getting himself a


    girlfriend?”


    “Just leave if you want to. Why are you muttering to yourself?” Tristanughed.


    “Um, I came here with you. Since you two don’t have any ns, why don’t you give me a ride home?”


    Charles really hated taking a taxi.


    “Who told you that? We’re going ora date right now, so tell me, does that count as a n?”


    Once again, Charles was bereft of words.


    He then waved his hand, dismissing his previous request. “Forget that I asked. I knew it. There isn’t


    any space left for us in that heart of yours.”


    Why must I humiliate myself time and again?


    “Wait.”


    “What is it? Did you finally grow a conscience and decided to give me a ride home?” As expected of my


    childhood friend! I’m d he’s still in his right mind!


    With that thought in mind, Charles whipped his head around, only to see that Tristan had personally


    hailed a taxi for him and had even opened the door to the back seat.


    “Yeah. Go on. I’m already being kind enough. Of course, you can treat me the same way when you get


    a girlfriend yourself. I don’t mind you prioritizing your girlfriend over your friends,” said Tristan, his


    words dripping with magnanimity.


    After all, he thought of himself as a nice guy.


    Charles had nothing to say to his friend. He thought Tristan had finallye to his senses, but s,


    that was not the case at all.


    You’re way out of line, Tristan!

    “You better remember this, Tristan! When I get a girlfriend, I’m going to torture you with public disys


    of affection!” Charles dered.This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    Left with no choice, he could only climb into the taxi, while Tristan responsibly shut the door for him.


    Sophie found Charles’ expression quite amusing and enjoyed the yful banter andradery


    between the two men. “We don’t really have anything nned. You could’ve given him a ride home,”


    she said,


    Charles disliked taking the taxi, for he had mild mysophobia-a fact known to everyone.


    “Who says we don’t have anything on? Didn’t we agree to book the entire cinema?” Tristan retorted.


    This was something they had discussed the day before.


    “Right now?”


    “Yeah, let’s go. We have to show our support for Cecelia.


    The two of them arrived at the movie theater, and true to his word, Tristan rented the entire theater. In


    fact, he rented it for a hundred screenings. However, they were not watching alone and were joined by


    other people.


    Watching a movie was more enjoyable withpany, as it created a better atmosphere. Otherwise, if it


    were just the two of them in the enormous theater, it would be no different from watching a movie in


    their home theater.


    Sophie immediately took a liking to the movie when she saw the script. Moreover, Cecelia’s acting skills


    were outstanding among the new generation of popr actresses.


    The movie was presented in reverse chronological order, and Cecelia’s makeup, which was meant to


    age her up, was incredibly realistic.


    The movie evoked such deep emotions and nostalgia that as soon as the music started ying, it


    transported everyone back to that era.


    Throughout the two-hour movie, one could constantly hear the sound of people sobbing in the theater;


    some of the viewers eyes even turned red from all the crying.


    The love story depicted in the movie was profoundly moving.


    Even someone as picky as Tristan could not helpplimenting. “Cecelia’s acting skills are indeed


    impressive.”


    “Yeah.”


    Sophie was simrly deeply moved by the movie, but she did not cry as she was not one to easily shed


    tears.


    Tristan held onto her hand the entire time.


    “This movie will be a sess,” said Sophie. “Besides, I didn’t invest in it to earn a profit. It was just to


    hone Cecelia’s acting skills.”


    Although the current box office numbers weren’t very high, people were bound to pay attention to it


    once the movie started winning awards.

    Moreover, it was merely a low-budget film. It had already earned over twenty million thus far, and this


    was a remarkable achievement for a literary movie.


    Even though the movie had ended, plenty of viewers did not leave right away, for they were still


    immersed in the emotions of the film and had not snapped out of it.


    Just then, Sophie received a call from Cecelia.


    “Sophic, I know you’re super rich now, but you don’t have to rent the entire theater for my sake! It’s


    unnecessary, really!” said thetter.


    “It wasn’t me who did it. It was Tristan. He really likes your movie, so you don’t have to feel pressured.”


    A hundred screenings were practically nothing to someone like Tristan.


    “I see. So did you watch it? What do you think of my acting? I’d love to hear your thoughts,” Cecilia


    said, still unable to get out of character despite havingpleted the filming for the movie. Her


    lingering attachment to the character she yed was evident.


    “Your acting was incredible, Cecilia! You’ll definitely be able to win the best actress award this time!”
