He knew Nichole was putting on a show for Sophie and the staff on purpose earlier. He had already warned Nichole that there would be no further interactions between them, and his cooperation was merely to see Sophie's reaction.
But as it turned out, Sophie didn't care about him at all. She did not even show a hint of jealousy.
"James, we had sex. Are you that eager to cut ties with me?"
Nichole knew that James had used her as a tool at the office, but she didn't care. She had used James too! They were cut from the same cloth!
James gave Nichole a cold glance and said, "I'm warning you, if you use those underhanded tactics to hurt Sophie, I will not let you off easily."
Nichole paled, her voice softening as she clutched James' hand. "James, Sophie doesn’t even like you! But I truly love you. Didn't we have a great night together?"
"Enough!"
James shook off Nichole's hand, his eyes filled with menace. "How dare you bring up that night? Nichole, if you don't want to be ousted from Palm’s Jewels, I suggest you stop testing my patience. Otherwise, I'll make sure Eastwood College expels you without a second thought!"
Nichole's expression turned even uglier, and she didn't dare to make another move. She knew James would follow through on his threats, perhaps even tenfold.
James turned and left, leaving Nichole deflated and alone. Colt glanced at her and said, "Ms. Nichole, Mr. Burke's decision not to expose your lies is already a form of mercy. Please recognize your place and stop dreaming about becoming Mrs. Burke."
Then, Colt also followed James out.
Nichole clenched her fists tightly.
'James, you think it's that easy to cut ties with me? I will not let you have your way! The position of Mrs. Burke can only be mine!'

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....
Excellent novel!...
