"Sir, aren't you going to check on her?" Rick asked, knowing full well that Gordon was the most concerned about Sophie's safety. Clubs like Nightshade weren't exactly known for their safety.
Gordon, however, remained unruffled. "The meeting continues," he said calmly.
Rick was taken aback. Continue? Really? But he didn't dare question it, and neither did the other executives, who quickly resumed their meeting, some even picking up the pace as if sensing a shift in the room's energy.
Meanwhile, over at Nightshade, Jenna was well on her way to being drunk. She glanced at her phone—an entire hour had passed since they arrived.
Why hasn't Gordon's crew shown up yet? It didn't add up. There's no way Gordon, who cherished Sophie like a treasure, would let her run amok like this. Something's fishy!
Just as Jenna was piecing things together, a bodyguard from the Dennis family barged in, scanning the crowd for her.
"Ms. Jenna! Ms. Jenna!" he called, pushing his way through until he finally reached her.
"What are you doing here after hours?" Jenna frowned.
The bodyguard looked serious. "There's an emergency at the company. An urgent meeting is happening right now. You need to get back immediately!"
"What? Everything was fine when I left," Jenna said, her expression darkening. Sophie, standing nearby, chimed in, "Jenna, is something wrong?"

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.
