In Gordon's bedroom at Burke Estate, Rick swung the door open and stepped in. "Sir, Ms. Sophie and the team have managed to find all the ledgers," he announced.
"I know," Gordon replied, his voice as calm as ever.
Rick hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Sir, that person is bound to make a move now. In the days ahead..."
"Life goes on, Rick. No point in worrying about things we can't control. You can go now."
"…Alright."
After Rick left, a gentle breeze stirred the curtains by the window. Gordon leaned against the sill, gazing into the inky night sky, and murmured, "This time, I've got my brother by my side."
The next morning, Sophie was all set to head out for work, only to find Timothy blocking her path downstairs. "Ms. Sophie! Have you had breakfast yet?" he asked.
Sophie gave him a quick look and said, "Thanks, but I'm not hungry."
As she tried to move past, Timothy stepped in front of her again. "Ms. Sophie! How about a sandwich?"
"…"
Sophie offered him a small smile. "Thanks, but I'm not hungry."
Undeterred, Timothy blocked her once more, suggesting, "Ms. Sophie! Maybe a cup of coffee then?"
Realizing he was determined to keep her from leaving, Sophie set her bag down and asked, "Alright, what's really going on?"

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....
