"Wait a minute."
Sophie stepped forward, picking up the roses scattered on the ground. She noticed that these roses were carefully pruned to remove the thorns and were very rare.
"Mrs. Burke, this old man has ruined the flowers Mr. Lennon prepared for everyone, and he disturbed the gathering. I'll have someone escort him out right now."
"If it was an accident, then perhaps the gentleman could prepare a new batch of flowers," Sophie said, "Since Mr. Lennon specially brought these roses, it would be a shame to use them only for display. Why not let each lady present take one to appreciate his gesture?"
The crowd nodded in agreement, and the manager tactfully gestured to the elderly gardener to step aside.
James approached Sophie, his voice low, "I didn't expect you to stir up the atmosphere like this."
Sophie shrugged, "Just trying to please Mr. Lennon."
Outside the event, Nichole stepped out of a taxi, her elegant black evening gown catching the light. As soon as she exited the vehicle, she felt the curious stares of those around her.
Nichole didn't dwell on it, her mind set on entering the club.
The doorman examined Nichole up and down, then glanced at the departing taxi. "Miss, do you have an invitation?"
Caught off guard, Nichole hesitated. She wasn't aware of any invitation requirement. Previously, when she accompanied James, she had come and gone freely. This was the first time she was stopped outside.
"I'm sorry, Miss, but you cannot enter without an invitation."

Enjoying the story, to much victimising Sophie, they could at least try to target others. Hope at some point Sophie comes clean and forgives James and explain her view of loving the boy James was. Just so they both learn and move on. Really needs to be some consequences for the instigators instead of being let go. Sandy needs to see Vanessa is using her as a cover, and Sandy needs to wake up to herself, or be held responsible by her father for alienating the people she was supposed to make contact with. Hope the reporter brother is keeping an eye on what Vanessa and Odie are up to, and that he has he’s own justice in store. Hope he becomes like Reese a good partner. Hope James lives and finds he’s HEA. Need to put Nicole in prison , no release and several lifetimes , with all the evidence on the crimes she’s committed just to get her out of the way guilt free. More about what’s up with Gordon....
