Chapter 209
“Alright, alright, I’ll have someone prepare it right away!”
Mr. Donny quickly instructed Alexis to get a room ready. She cast a disgruntled glance at Sophie, hergaze filled with disdain and jealousy.
Mr. Donny glanced at Sophie and then at James. Turning to James, he said, “Mr. Burke, is thereanything else you need?”
Colt spoke up, “Mr. Donny, you go ahead with your work. Mr. Burke will be leaving shortly after he’sdone here.”
“I get to it then. The meeting room is just ahead. It should be all set up for you two.”
As Mr. Donny said this, he shot Sophie a look. He couldn’t quite figure out what the relationshipbetween this intern and James was. Shouldn’t Nichole be the one closely related to James?
Relationships in this circle were truly complicated!
Arriving at the meeting room, Sophie said, “You came all the way to Palm’s Jewels to see me. What doyou want?”
She thought she had made herself clear during their last encounter.
James said in a deep voice, “What exactly is your relationship with S Corporation?”
“You asked me that yesterday.” Sophie replied. “Do you not remember because you had too much todrink yesterday?”
James frowned, “Sophie, I’m saying this for your own good. Blake is a ruthless businessman. TheRussell family collaborating with him won’t end well.‘
“Blake might be awful, but he’s still better than you.”
Sophie vividly remembered how the Russell family fell from grace in her past life, how James used theRussell family and then discarded them, and how he gradually took over the Russell family’s mostprofitable business.
She hadn’t forgotten any of it!
Now, hearing James say these words made her scoff.
“Blake. Harold, Adler, and Colby.” James stood up, stepping closer to Sophie. “You’re approaching somany men, all for the Russell
fem
Thats
ne of your business!”
“When you said you loved me and insisted on marrying me, it was all for the Russell family, wasn’t it!”
Sophie looked up at James. She had genuinely loved James back then, why was why she was soadamant about marry him.
But James never chose her.
Sophie said, “Yes, I did it all for the Russells. In fact, I never liked you at all. Are you satisfied now?”
“Sophie!”novelbin
James‘ fist slammed into the wall, veins throbbing on his forehead. “So you’ve been playing me allalong!”
“Is that why you came looking for me? Just to prove this point?”
Sophie responded calmly, “You have Nichole, and I have someone else. It’s only fair.”
At the mention of Nichole, James‘ rage suddenly extinguished.
Outside, several employees were curiously peering into the situation.
“Why did Mr. Burke suddenly come to our company?”
“What’s his relationship with that new intern?”
“I heard that Mr. Burke and the new girl Nichole were in a relationship, so what’s with this…”
Nichole, passing by, heard their conversation, and her nerves instantly tensed. “Who did you say justcame?”
Seeing Nichole, everyone hurried back to their desks.
Nichole frowned, “I asked you, who came here?”
One of the female employees whispered, “It’s Mr. Burke. He came and called Sophie out for a talk.”
*James?”
James is here?
A flash of joy crossed Nichole’s face.
