Chapter 988 Can I Add You on WhatsApp
"That person will be working alongside you, so it's important to ensure that you two get along well." It would be awkward if two people, who disliked each other, were to work closely together. "I'm actually fine with anyone, but since you are giving me an opportunity to choose who I work with, I will take some time to consider it."
"All right."
Arthur invited Sophie and Tristan over when he heard that they were leaving soon.
The people in the tribal village had prepared their most formal ceremony to welcome them.
Had it not been for Tristan's help, they would not have achieved the success they had. That was why they decided to give him the grandest welcome possible.
Tristan felt that his efforts were worth it when he saw how grateful the villagers were.
Arthur then fetched Sophie and Tristan two glasses of wine and said, "Mr. Tristan, this is part of our tribe's welcome ceremony. Please accept this as a token of our appreciation."
Tristan and Sophie then took the wine glasses over from him. Back then, Tristan would never allow Sophie to consume alcohol at all.
This time, however, he did not stop her because it was a special occasion. The two of them then downed their drinks in one go.
Sophie had always believed in treating others the way she wanted to be treated, so she reciprocated the tribe's sincerity equally.
As the people in the tribe trusted Sophie, it was only natural that they trusted Tristan as well. With Tristan calling the shots in Fandar, the tribal villagers felt glad that they no longer had to suffer the way they used to, and they expressed their feelings of happiness by dancing.
It was simply that easy to satisfy the people in that tribe.
Tristan and Sophie danced along with the tribal villagers. Being a conservative person, this was the first time Tristan had attempted a dance like this.
Even so, the merry atmosphere was so enchanting that he found himself dancing along before he even realized it.
Zen came up to them and said. "Thank you for everything you've done to help us, Ms. Tanner! We will remember it and do our best to repay you in the future
Those people robbed us and killed our people, but Ms. Tanner and the others are genuinely trying to help us!
"You are the hope of this village, Zen. Make sure to stay with Bert and study hard, okay?" Sophie told him patiently
"Don't worry, Ms. Tanner! I will study really hard with Hert! I won't let you all down! From now on. I will protect this tribe!"
As such, he was determined to become more powerful so he could protect the ones he cared about.
"I know you are an ambitious child, and I believe you have what it takes to accomplish your goal." Sophic took great care of Zen because he was Arthur's grandson.
"Thank you very much for helping us out, Ms. Tanner," Arthur said while raising his wine glass.
"Come on, now! There's no need for thanks between us!" Sophie replied while clinking glasses with him. The fact that she managed to do something for the tribe was enough to make her happy.
"Ms. Tanner is a really sweet girl, Mr. Tristan. Make sure to treat her right, okay?" Arthur said.
He knew that Tristan was a decent man, but he still felt the urge to say that anyway. Perhaps that was something old men like him would often do.
Tristan held Sophie's hand as he assured the older man, "Don't worry, Mr. Camidge. I will be sure to treasure her deeply. I will never mistreat her."
Sophie was the love of his life, so Tristan would never allow her to be hurt in the slightest.
Tristan and Sophie stayed till it was late at night, so Bertram came over to pick them up. Being an old man, Arthur went to sleep after having a few more drinks. "Hi, Mr. Asher!" Zen called out to Bertram respectfully when he came to send them off.
Bertram flashed Zen a smile and had a brief chat with him before driving off.
"Help me look after this tribe whenever you're in Fandar, Bert." Sophie had developed a liking for the tribe.
"Sure thing, Ms. Tanner. Don't you worry! I won't let anyone get hurt as long as I'm here!" Bertram replied confidently.
Sophie rested her head against Tristan's shoulder.
I wonder when we'll come back here again....
Noticing the depressed look on her face, Tristan held her hand and said, "We can always come here whenever you feel like it."
A long-haul flight was all it would take for them to get there.
"Yeah."
Most of the tribal villagers came to send Tristan and Sophie off when they left the next day.
"Best wishes to you all!"
A warm smile spread across Arthur's face when he heard Sophie's words.
The dark days are over. From now on, everything is going to be all right!
"Don't worry, Ms. Tanner. We'll be just fine!"
Zen chased after the car from behind as it drove off.
He liked Sophie very much, and he would have left with her if he didn't have a duty to uphold.
Of course, there was no way he could catch up to a car on foot. It didn't take long before he disappeared from the rearview mirror of the SUV.
Zen had never cried a day in his life. He was too young to feel sad when his parents passed away, so he didn't cry back then. However, he felt really upset when he saw Sophie and the others leave.
Looking at the tribal villagers through the rearview mirror, Sophie couldn't help feeling melancholic. She had always wished nothing but the best for them.
The plane for the return flight had already been prepared by the time they arrived at the airport. Bertram was personally escorting them onto the plane when Tristan said, "Be extra careful now that you're on your own here, Bertram. Contact me immediately if you ever run into any problems that you can't resolve on your own."
Those b*stards are no pushover. They have only temporarily submitted to us.
"Don't worry, Mr. Tristan! I will be sure to head back and attend your wedding!" Bertram reassured him. After all, those two were the people he looked up to the most.
Tristan patted him on the shoulder. "All right. I'll arrange for a plane to pick you up when the time comes. You can head back now."
"Can I add you on WhatsApp, Ms. Tanner?" Bertram asked cautiously.
Sophie whipped out her phone, pulled up her QR code, and held it up in front of Bertram. The man got so worked up that his hands were trembling when he scanned the QR code.
Tristan let out a chuckle when he saw how excited Bertram was. The fact that his comrades genuinely liked Sophie was not lost on Tristan.
Bertram was grinning from ear to ear after adding Sophie on WhatsApp. Tristan then boarded the plane with her as it was about time for it to take off.
Meanwhile, Bertram stood there and waited until their plane was out of sight before heading back.
