Lisa continued, “Provoke her. Get her worked up so she’ll lash out at you, then you’d have every right to tell the old man about it. Do you understand?”
Sofie gave it a thought and nodded. “Got it, Aunt Lisa.”
“Go on, now. Get her a special breakfast set.”
Special breakfast set?
Something that can piss Nicole off?
“Okay, Aunt Lisa. I know what to do now.”
Hanging up, Sofie calmly walked out of the elevator with a glint in her eyes.
Fifteen minutes later, she returned to the president’s office with the breakfast she had gotten.
“I’ve bought Ms. Lane’s breakfast, Evan,” the woman said gently with a curl of her red lips. “She should eat it while it’s hot.”
Evan nodded and turned to Nicole. “Have your breakfast.”
Nicole’s eyes glowered slightly as she gazed at the breakfast on the table.
She left so unwillingly, but now she’s all smiles after getting me my breakfast? Could something be up?
Seeing Nicole remain unmoving, Sofie gave her a sincere glance.
“I bought this especially for you, Ms. Lane. It’d be a waste of Evan’s kind intentions if you don’t eat it. Please give it a taste. I can get you something else if you don’t like it.”
Hearing that, Nicole became even more skeptical.
She’ll buy me more food if I don’t like this one? Is she really that kind?
Nicole locked her gaze on the lunch box, genuinely feeling rather curious.
Then, she got up and opened it.
Bones?
What the hell? Two huge bones with no meat on them at all?
Is she thinking of making me chew on it like a dog?
She turned to Sofie, demanding an explanation.
“Bone broth is good for you, Ms. Lane. You should drink lots of it.”
Broth?
“There’s no broth. All I see are two bones.”
“Don’t panic, Ms. Lane. The broth is in the lower compartment.”
Sofie moved the top compartment aside to reveal the next layer of the lunch box. Indeed, there was broth inside it.
