Rise Above The Betrayal (Sophia and Tristan)

Sophia shook her phone. Tristan."

She then turned to the phone, saying, "Lukas's back, I'll talk to you later."

Without waiting for Tristan's response, she hung up the call,

Lukas raised an eyebrow, his smile widening "You hung up on your flance as soon

as your brother showed up. Aren't you afraid he'll get upser?"

"Why would he be upset?" she was just gossiping with him on the phone while waiting for Lukas

Now that Lukas came.

Hanging up was the natural thing to do.

Lukas looked at her, amused by her completely nonchalant expression. He could almost picture Tristan staring at his phone, confused and displeased after the call was cut off.

Lukas chuckled softly, nodding in agreement "You're right. For Tristan to be your fiancé is already a huge honor, How could he possibly get upset with you?"

Sophia slipped the phone back into her pocket and stood up, walking toward Lukas

By this point, Lukas had returned to his desk, his documents still scattered across the table.

Suddenly, in the sunlight, Sophia's figure cast a shadow over him.

He had just found his little Sofi, just begun enjoying the happiness of having a sister, and now, was he about to lose her!

Sophia pursed her lips and remained silent.

Lukas" heart skipped a beat, his worry intensifying

At this moment, Carl knocked on the office door and wheeled in a lunch cart

Upon entering, the sight that greeted him was Miss Roscente, with one hand pressed on the desk, and the other holding her brother's wrist in a

serious manner.

Their expressions were grim.

What Carl came up with was-

Miss Boscente looked exactly like one of those fake doctors from TV shows!

Who even uses pulse-checking to diagnose in this day?

Clearing his throat, he averted his gaze and pushed the cart to

Sophia withdrew her hand and stood up from the desk. She looked at Carl with a serious expression. "From now on, Lukas's meals must be on t No matter what, eating must never be delayed"

He looked at his boss cauriously, his eyes questioning.

Should he add the friend... or not?

Should he report this or not?

Glancing at Lukas, who had a soft smile, his eyes warm, Lukas nodded slowly.

Carl couldn't help but shiver with an eerie sensation running through him.

He trembled as he pulled out his phone, cautiously scanning Miss Roscente's QR code to add her as a friend.

"I'll eat on time from now on, don't worry" Laikas chuckled sohly, his gaze filled with tenderness as he looked at Sophia,

Sophie's face remained cold. "You better keep your word

Lukas smiled warmly. I'd never lie to my sister"

Sophia lifted her chin, glancing at the steaming meal already set on the dining table. "Now, est,"

Lukas put down his work, stood up, took off his jacket, loosened his tie, and obediently walked toward the dining table.

Carl was utterly bewildered.

Was he dreaming?

He actually saw Lukas stop working and so obediently go to eat when told?

When did Lukas ever show such gentleness!

Was this even the same Lukas he knew?

The CEO of Roseente Group!

Could it be...

That he's been possessed?

Carl was so shocked, his heart was still trembling as he walked out of the office.

Even his steps were faltering.

He never thought he'd see the day when Lukas was so soft and loving.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime moment!

Is this what they call a sister-obsessed maniac!

Sophia sat on

on the opposite side of the dining table, staring at her older brother as he ate

She gave him a stem look. "You, Andrew, and Dad-truly three bosses, all with that boss mentality. You're just relying on your youth. When you reach Dad's age, you'll probably be covered in ailments."

Lukas elegantly continued rating, listening to her sister's lecture. A smile spread across his face, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "Sof

Such a good attitude left Sophia no room to press further.

She gave a nonchalant "Mm" and then asked, "Andrew said you need my help with something. What's it about?"

Lukas paused in the middle of his meal, looking slightly confused. "Need your help...?"

Before he could finish, his expression immediately shifted. He cleared his throat and nodded. "Right, I need your help, and only you can help

Sophia squinted suspiciously.

y did it feel like both Andrew and Lukas were acting strangely?

Why

Need help?

Lukas continued, "Recently, the clothing company under the Roscente Group needs a fresh influx of talent. Today happens to be the day when new designers are being interviewed. But I have too many things to deal with, so I was hoping you could oversee the design department and help me select three outuanding designers."

Sophia: "?!?"

why do you

She couldn't help but ask, "Shouldn't there be a lot of professionals overseeing these interviews at Roscente Group? Why you need me to help?" "Andrew told me you're really interested in fashion design, and this is a great opportunity, Of course, I hope you'll give it a try." Lukas explained.
