Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 1095

"Absolutely!"

"For a moment, I thought Mr. Burke was saying our company was in trouble."

"No way! With a hefty chunk of Burke International's shares in your hands, how could there be any risk? Forget one Elodie, even ten Elodies couldn't touch you, right?"

Angelo quickly tried to reassure her.

Sophie took a sip of her drink, only to realize it was cola. She couldn't help but watch Angelo closely.

Angelo was munching away, completely unconcerned about his appearance in front of her.

Sophie decided to test the waters. "I've heard Mr. Burke was quite the tough and decisive leader abroad. If our S Corporation could team up with the Pollard family, conquering the overseas market in Devonport would be a breeze, don’t you think?"

"Cough... cough, cough!"

Angelo nearly choked on his rice. Tough and decisive? Was she talking about him? That sounded more like the old man!

S Corporation partnering with the Pollard family? What was he supposed to say to that?

"Ms. Sophie, you make a good point... Given our relationship, a partnership is definitely possible. However, this is a big deal. I'll need to discuss it with the old man back home..."

Seeing Sophie's skeptical look, Angelo quickly backtracked. "I mean, I'll need to consult with the shareholders and inform the old man to get his blessing."

"I heard Caelum has retired and no longer deals with the company's affairs. Isn't the Pollard family under your command now, Mr. Burke?"

"Uh..."

Was that what people were saying?

Angelo didn't usually bother with the image others had of him, only catching bits of gossip here and there. If he slipped up in front of Sophie, that could spell disaster.
