Anything For Her

Chapter 999

Chapter 999 Taking the Lead

Angelina was completely taken aback. She never expected Yale to act so timidly in front of Sophie.

He’s never said that in my presence before. He used to claim that he had the final say in Tanner Group. What about now? The reality cannot be more different.

“Yale, you lied to me! Didn’t you say that once I give birth to our child, Tanner Group will belong to him?” At this point, Angelina was willing to burn all bridges.

Sophie glanced at Yale. Tanner Group will be hers? Is she dreaming? The others also thought that Angelina had no shame.

What gave this mistress the audacity to behave so brazenly?

“Enough! Shut up!” Yale’s anger flared up. “If you don’t get lost now, don’t blame me for being forceful.”

Yale had always kept his affair hidden from Sophie. Nevertheless, Angelina had now made it public knowledge.

“Soph, I…” Yale tried to explain himself, not wanting to lose the comfortable life he had now.

However, under Sophie’s cold gaze, he couldn’t find the words to speak.

“Don’t worry! I will handle this matter. No one can threaten the fact that Tanner Group is yours.” After saying that, Yale dragged Angelina away:

“Why are you all staring? Don’t you have work to do?” said Carl when he noticed that the others were still lingering.

After hearing his words, no one dared to continue staring. They promptly returned to their tasks.

“Ms. Sophie, the meeting is about to begin. Shall we go upstairs?” Carl remained deferential in front of Sophie and avoided direct eye contact.

“Yes. Let’s go!”

Sophie proceeded directly to the conference room. When everyone saw that she would be chairing the meeting, they all perked up.

Although some of them might have underestimated her abilities in the past, they had since realized how terrifyingly capable she was after several major meetings.

Regardless of what the project was about, she could detect even the tiniest loopholes.

“Mr. White has been feeling unwell lately, so I will handle the company’s affairs in the time being. Let’s proceed as usual!”

Sophie wasted no time and got straight to business. There was no need for pretentious speeches.

While the managers from the project department reported on their progress, Sophie listened attentively and occasionally jotted down notes in her notebook.

After they finished speaking, she compiled a list of problems and delivered a concise summary.

“I understand that everyone has been working hard lately, so take a break when it’s appropriate. While Tanner Group is becoming increasingly successful, I don’t want its success to come at the expense of your well-being. After the meeting, make necessary amendments to the issue. If there aren’t any problems, just adhere to the proposals.”

“Don’t worry, Ms. Sophie. We will give it our all!” Regardless of how exhausted everyone in Tanner Group was, hope was still in sight for them.

Hence, they were highly motivated.

“Okay, get back to work!”

Carl had been attentively listening at the side. Once again, he marveled at Sophie’s abilities. Even though it had been quite some time since she returned to the office, she managed all the tasks with ease and efficiency.

“Is there anything else?” Sophie asked when she saw Carl following her out.

He quickly shook his head.

“No, but it’s already lunchtime. What would you like to eat? I can go and buy it for you,” offered Carl.

Ms. Sophie probably isn’t used to cafeteria food, right?

“Thank you, but I’ll eat at the cafeteria today.” It had been a while since Sophie had gone to the company) If she wanted her staff to work well, she had to address the staff’s dining situation first.

“Ms. Sophie, are you sure you want to go to the cafeteria?”

“Why not? Is there a problem? Is the cafeteria food really that bad?”

“No, Ms. Sophie. The cafeteria food is actually quite good. It’s really delicious,” guaranteed Carl.

Compared to the other companies around, their cafeteria food was genuinely delicious. He was just worried that she might not be accustomed to it.

“In that case, it’s settled. It’s already lunchtime, so you should also go and eat.”

“Okay, Ms. Sophie.” Carl refrained from saying anything further.

At that moment, Tristan called Sophie.

“Are you done with work?” Knowing that she had been at Tanner Group all day, he decided to come and find her.

“Yes, I’m done. I’m planning to have lunch in the cafeteria. Would you like to join me?”

“Sure, I’ll be there soon. Wait for me in the office.” Tristan was already parking his car. After he was done, he headed directly to the CEO’s office to meet her.

Sophie was already prepared to leave. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

When he arrived, they headed to Tanner Group’s staff cafeteria together.

The employees of Tanner Group were taken aback by the sight of Sophie bringing Tristan to the staff cafeteria for lunch.

The two of them seemed like such powerful and lofty individuals, as if they belonged to a separate world from the rest.

To have these high-profile individuals joining them for a meal felt quite strange.

Although there were numerous rumors about Tristan in Jipsdale, very few people had actually seen him in person.

“Ms. Sophie’s boyfriend is so handsome! He’s just my type!”

“Well, you consider anyone good-looking to be your type. Still, I must admit that Ms. Sophie’s boyfriend looks incredible.”

Unaware of the attention they were attracting, the two of them picked up the trays and got themselves some food like everyone.

Tanner Group’s staff cafeteria operated on a self-serve buffet system. People could choose any food they wanted with no restrictions on how much they took.

After surveying the available options, Sophie was quite satisfied. The dishes were well-prepared and appetizing.

Once they had taken their food, they found a table and settled down.

“How is it? As the CEO of Lombard Group, do you have any suggestions for our staff cafeteria?” asked Sophie, genuinely interested in Tristan’s feedback.

“It’s already quite good. Ever since you arrived, Tanner Group has been flourishing. You’ve done an excellent job. If your grandfather knew about this, he would be delighted too.”

She was already doing a great job.

“Really?” Sophie always wished for Tanner Group to continue prospering. In that case, she would not disappoint her grandfather. After all, Tanner Group was her grandfather’s lifelong endeavor.

“Yes, I mean it. I believe that within five years, Tanner Group will become one of the top companies.” That was how capable Sophie was.

If she chose not to do anything, everything would still be perfectly fine. However, once she set her mind to something, there was nothing she couldn’t accomplish.

It all depended on one’s capabilities, and Sophie had always been an extremely capable person.
