Sophia naturally took her seat and leaned lazily against the black leather sofa.
As soon as she looked up, she saw Tristan standing by the sofa leisurely removing his jacket.
His fingers touched the black suit jacket.
The extreme contrast of black and white made even his simple act of removing the jacket inexplicably alluring.
He casually draped the jacket over the edge of the sofa and sat down beside Sophia, just as lazily.
With his movements, the flowing lines of his muscular definition beneath his white shirt became more pronounced.
The white shirt and black pants made him look taller and more captivating.
The sofa was not particularly large.
When Tristan sat down, a fresh woody scent immediately wafted into Sophia’s nostrils.
However, the intense warmth she felt was not dispersed by the cool fragrance at all.
Meanwhile, Tristan’s actions continued.
He raised his hand, hooked his long fingers onto the collar button of his shirt and deftly unbuttoned two, revealing his fair, alluring collarbone and some enticing pectoral muscle.
Sophia was at a loss for words.
She suddenly felt even hotter.
Why do I feel like that Tristan is seducing me?
He’s so captivating! Sophia exclaimed inwardly.
She felt like patting her face to stop herself from overthinking of being charmed by Tristan, affecting her focus.
‘Even a rabbit doesn’t foul its hole..
How can I be entranced by a male friend of mine?
Men will only affect the way I do things! Sophia thought.
“Sofi…
Tristan chuckled as if sensing her unease, his voice laced with a magnetic quality.
Sophia’s heart skipped a beat.
“Sophial”
Suddenly, the surprised voice of a young man came from not fagaway.

They then saw a guy with gray hair and bright eyes running excitedly toward their booth.
He was thrilled and cheerful, like a big dog that had just seen its owner.
His sudden arrival broke the lingering intimate atmosphere within the booth.

He completely ignored Tristan’s presence and leaned his head towards Sophia, exclaiming with joy, “Sophia, why are you here? I thought you disliked such places the most. If I had known you’d come; I would have come here with you….
Sophia promptly lifted her hand, as usual, to push back Hudson’s head.
The auction Hudson spoke of was indeed the same one Tristan mentioned.
Thus, she was fortunate enough to witness her pills being auctioned off.
Thinking of Tristan, Sophia quickly looked up at him, only to meet his eyes. Those eyes were profoundly deep, brimming with an unfathomable glow.
They seemed to be an endless abyss; just one glance could pull someone into it.
Sophia was momentarily stunned.
But in just that second, Tristan had put on a faint smile, his voice clear and gentle. “Sofi, who’s this?”
Sophia blinked.
His eyes remained clear and bright, and as he looked at her, they seemed filled with starlight, reflecting her visage.
It seemed that the abyss from a moment ago was just her illusion
She pressed her lips together, fixed her gaze on Tristan for a few seconds, and then said, “This is Hudson Myers, whom I see/ as my younger brother. He’s currently working at my pharmaceutical research institute.”
Tristan slightly raised his eyebrows and looked at Hudson, his thin lips curled up. “Nice to meet you, I’m Tristan Yeats.”
After being pushed back by Sophia, Hudson glanced towards Tristan out of the corner of his eye.
In his eyes, there was a clear hint of hostility.
The hostility in his eyes deepened especially when he saw Sophia staring at Tristan without blinking.
Those clear and innocent amber eyes of his were now shadowed by a haze.
The word “brother” hurt him a lot.
His hands at his sides slowly clenched into fists.
“Is Sophia telling Tristan about her identity as ‘Mr. Young?
She has said that was her alias.
How could she reveal it to another man?! Hudson thought.

His hostility was blatant, and Tristan could feel it.
He glanced at Hudson with a rocking smile.
Then his long, thick lashes lowered slightly, concealing all emotions in his eyes
The strands of hair falling over his forehead added a touch of melancholy to his demeanor.
“Sofi, Hudson… doesn’t seem to like me.
Even Tristan’s voice carried a hint of disappointment.
Hudson was speechless.
He suddenly bristled with rage, glaring at Tristan with wide eyes!
“What the heck… is this?
Tristan actually played a trick on me by feigning upset?! Hudson wondered.
Yet, the “simple and kind–hearted” Sophia didn’t notice Tristan’s cheap shot at all. She glared at Hudson and explained to Tristan, “You must get him wrong. He’s outgoing and likes making friends.”
“Really?” Tristan’s thin lips slightly pressed together, and he met Hudson’s annoyed gaze.
With a smile on his lips, Tristan said, “If you don’t mind, see me as your elder brother.”
Hudson was speechless once again.
‘Damn!
Drop the act!
I give you an inch and you’ll take a yard, huh? Hudson cursed inwardly.
He clenched his fists, his cheeks puffed up in anger. He was about to burst out with curses.
But Sophia, completely unaware of the silent tension between the two men, thought for a few seconds, then turned to Hudson and said, “Tristan is my friend. He’s older than you, so he was not asking too much”
Hudson’s checks puffed up and deflated, again and again.
After several rounds of that, under Sophia’s gaze, he said through gritted teeth, “Fine, Tristan.”
Tristan replied with a smile, “Good boy
Hudson was rendered speechless.
He was so mad that his face slightly twisted.
Just a moment ago, when he saw Sophia and Tristan sitting together from a distance, they looked so intimate.
He couldn’t hold is back and rushed over, hoping to use his closeness with Sophia to outdo Tristan, making him realize that she wasn’t someone any random guy could covet!

But how come he ended up being the one being crushed?

No matter how mature he usually behaved, he seemed a bit unsteady at that moment. He grabbed Sophia’s arm and said, “Sophia, since you’re here, you have to handle some paperwork ever there!”
Sophia was pulled to her feet, her eyebrows furrowing slightly.
Hudson realized his strong mood swings, so he quickly adjusted his expression, puffed his cheeks, and shook Sophia’s arm.
