Sophie nodded, and Colby immediately went down to start the car, with Sophie quickly following behind.
Fearing she'd be late, Sophie quickened her pace as soon as they left the corporate building. Unfortunately, while descending the stairs, she slipped and fell backward. Instinctively closing her eyes, she braced for impact with the ground, but instead, she landed in a pair of arms.
Sophie saw Colby looking at her with a gentle smile.
“It’s okay. We won’t be late,” he said softly.
Sophie’s cheeks flushed momentarily before she hurried into the car.
Colby sat in the driver's seat, a subtle smile playing on his lips. “Buckle up. Get comfortable.”
Sophie hadn’t quite grasped the meaning behind Colby's words before he pressed the accelerator. Had it not been for her being securely seated, she felt she might have been catapulted out of the car at that moment.
When they neared her apartment complex, Sophie noticed Colt’s car had just arrived. Without a pass, Colt couldn’t enter the complex and was lingering outside.
Sophie picked up her bag. “I’ll go ahead.”
“Wait a moment.”
Colby tenderly brushed a stray lock of hair behind her ear, his eyes tender. “Go ahead.”
Sophie dodged his gaze slightly but quickly got out of the car.
When Colby looked back at Colt, his smile had vanished, and he soon drove away.
“Ma’am.”
Colt looked puzzled when he noticed that Sophie didn’t exit from the gated community, but he didn’t immediately voice his concern. “Mr. Burke sent me to drive you back.”
Sophie nodded absentmindedly.

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....
