“Are you going to the dinner hosted by James?”
Jenna looked puzzled at Sophie. “Weren’t you just saying you didn’t want to go?”
“Harold said he needs to teach James a lesson, and I’m worried he might cause trouble.” Sophiefrowned.
Gordon had been feeling under the weather these days, and tonight Harold was supposed to attend inGordon’s place. Without Gordon to keep an eye on him, she really feared Harold might end up givingJames a beating at the dinner.
