Tristan seemed to walk casually into the dining room while fixing the location of the tie he was wearing. As soon as he sat perfectly in the chair, Samanta immediately poured orange juice into the man’s glass as his employer’s companion for breakfast this morning.
At first, everything went as usual. Even Aurora, who was sitting next to Tristan, also seemed to enjoy all the food that was served. No more disappointment. Both seemed lost in the atmosphere and chose to forget what had happened last night.
However, when the third mouthful entered Tristan’s mouth, he seemed to taste something very different. Slowly swallow. Trying to unravel the taste caused by the food he eats. When he found an oddity, he immediately asked.
“Samanta,” Tristan called immediately.
“Yes sir.” The young servant immediately rushed over to hear what his master might want to order.
“You cooked breakfast this morning?” Tristan inquired curiously. Samanta confidently nodded immediately.
“Yes, Sir. I cooked and served all the food this morning. What’s wrong? Was there something wrong with the food I cooked?”
Tristan was silent for a moment. Another mouthful of food on his plate seemed to confirm the oddity he had been trying to guess.
“Why does it taste different than what I usually eat? I’m sure my tongue is in a normal state.”
Samanta nodded in understanding. Finally, he understood what his master had been confused about for a long time. Samanta thought it was clear that the food was different because the one who cooked yesterday was not himself but the employer’s wife. Knowing the cause, the woman casually answered Tristan’s curiosity.
“Ah, what I thought. Well, Sir. So, the food you’ve been eating these days is usually specially cooked by your wife, Mrs Sophia.”
“Sophia?” Tristan responded awkwardly. Finally, he knew that he had been eating and enjoying what his wife had served. Now? He loses his appetite when his tongue eats someone else’s menu.
“But…” Samanta seemed to continue his delayed sentence. “Because Madam has left this house, so from now on I will return to cooking and serving food as before.”
“Go?” Tristan and Aurora both asked questions in confused tones. “My wife left? Where do you mean?” Tristan asked curiously. It was clear from the expression on his face as if he did not expect the news he had just heard.
“I don’t know, Sir. To be sure, last night before actually leaving the house, as far as I know, the madam decided to go over to Mrs. Aurora in her room. I don’t know what bad things she saw at that time. But, a few hours later and when I was about to get a drink, I saw that your wife had brought a suitcase and intended to leave in tears. Maybe she had seen it before—”
“Enough! Stop it Samanta,” said Aurora hastily. The woman seemed to be flicked by the satire-wrapped explanation explained by her maid. Turning to Tristan, she found that the man was still sitting in his seat.
“You need to find him immediately, Tristan. Your wife must have misunderstood what she saw last night in my room.”
From his eyes, Aurora could see how Tristan was laughing at that moment too discordantly. It was obvious that he was mocking what he had just said.
“Misunderstanding, you say? So Sophia left because of a misunderstanding after seeing what you did to me last night?”
“Then you want to accuse me of being the cause of all this?” Aurora seemed to squint, then put on an expression full of annoyance.
“Sophia left this house because she saw me kissing the future husband she clearly stole. Oh, come on, Tristan! Don’t be crazy. right?”
Aurora’s voice rose. Samanta, who felt uncomfortable, even chose to run away. She didn’t want to get the slightest bit into the vortex of the problems that were happening to his master.
“Stop it, Aurora! Your babbling isn’t the least bit important for me to hear.”
“You—” Tristan raised a hand in the air. Ask the woman next to him to stop talking. After wiping his lips with a napkin, Tristan chose to get up and leave Aurora just like that to go to the office immediately.
Arriving at the Foxtail building, Mario, who saw Tristan’s arrival after a long holiday, immediately put on a conservative attitude-ensuring his boss came into the room comfortably. Then helped pull up a chair, inviting the well-built man to sit in his work chair immediately.
“Mario,” Tristan called immediately. “Have you got what I asked for?” the man asked as soon as he sat down. His hands seemed to rest comfortably on the back of the chair. Get ready to listen to the report that his assistant will deliver after this. From the moment he was on his way to the office, Tristan had ordered Mario to check where his wife was through the tracking device he had installed on Sophia’s cell phone.
“Yes, Sir. I’ve found where your wife is,” replied Mario with a nod. Then he showed the tablet he was carrying to his boss.
“You can see the location for yourself in this application.”
Tristan turned his head and then looked carefully at the map display from one of the tracking applications on Mario’s tablet. Sharpen your eyesight to read the street names on the screen.
“Knightsbridge? One Hyde Penthouse?” Tristan’s face instantly turned red with anger. “For God’s sake, Sophia. You love playing with fire with me.”
Mario, who had been surprised, immediately took a step back. Then before long, he was speaking to Tristan again very carefully.
“Your wife seems to be in Mr. Edward’s apartment right now.”
Tristan nodded. Justify Mario’s assumption.
“Yes, I admit Sophia is a smart woman, Mario. She chose Edward’s residence on purpose knowing that I couldn’t forcibly pick her up from there.”
“Then what should we do now, Mister?” Mario asked curiously.
Tristan brought his hand this time to caress his chin thoughtfully. However, before the plan could be thrown out, another man appeared from the doorway and immediately barged into the room without permission.
“Sir, you can’t just walk in.”
Tristan’s secretary looked confused. She seemed tired of trying to prevent a guest who suddenly walked into the CEO’s room without making an appointment first.
“Leave it alone,” Tristan said to her secretary. In that instant, he turned to the guest standing perfectly in front of him.
“Why did you come to visit me this morning, Edward? Do you have a problem with me?”
Right after the sentence came out, without even answering, Edward stepped forward and grabbed the collar of Tristan’s clothes. Within seconds, a hard fist flew right at Tristan’s handsome face.
“Mr Edward!” Mario immediately squealed in surprise. Swiftly stepped forward, trying to break up the fight in front of his eyes.
But it seems useless, as hard as Mario pulls, as hard as Edward endures. The man’s body didn’t move in the slightest. Until one more time, another punch flew to Tristan’s chin to splatter blood.
“Oh my God, SECURITY!”
Mario, who looked confused, immediately shouted hysterically. I ordered Tristan’s secretary to seek help out there immediately.
At the same time, Tristan himself did not put up the slightest resistance. The man seemed to take it for granted as Edward repeatedly punched him.
“It’s okay, Mario. I’m fine. No need to call security,” Tristan muttered in a position still under Edward’s supervision. Lifting his face, he cast a sharp gaze at his best friend, who was still overcome by emotion.
“Are you sure you want to kill me right now?”
With the last remaining sanity, Edward slowly loosened the grip on the hand still clinging to Tristan’s collar. Not long after, scorching words slid freely from his lips.
“It’s nothing, Tristan Quartararo. I swear it’s not worth the pain Sophia is feeling. I warn you, don’t ever try to meet Sophia. In this instant, that woman is not your wife anymore. you two as soon as possible. You know what, I can do anything.”
Edward then pushed Tristan’s body so that he leaned back on the chair the man was sitting on. He carried his feet to step outside lightly as if nothing terrible had happened quickly.
Meanwhile, Tristan could only stare at Edward’s departure while holding his injured face. Recalling his best friend’s warning, then soon he was muttering to himself.
“I will never let you take Sophia, Ed. Never. Sophia will always be mine.”
