"Okay." Sophie replied simply, then followed Colt into the lounge next door.
"Ma'am, is there anything specific you'd like to eat?"
"Just a cup of tea, please."
"Right away."
After Colt poured Sophie a cup of tea, she settled on the couch and asked, "How has Mr. Burke been faring at the company lately?"
"Mr. Burke? Recently, he's been quite distracted and has taken to drinking. Today is the most normal he's been in a while, all thanks to you, ma'am."
Sophie frowned. "He’s been drinking?"
"Were you not aware? The last time Mr. Burke visited S Corporation, he had been drinking." Colt expressed his concern, "He's been drinking far too much these past few days. I'm really worried."
"Why did James suddenly go to S Corporation that day? Do you know?"
"I'm not sure."
Colt's expression gave him away.
Sophie looked down. Colt surely knew, but knowing something and sharing it were two different matters.
After all, her position was suspicious. Even the directors of Burke International thought so, let alone anyone else.
"Alright, I'll talk to James. You can leave now. I'd like to rest a bit on my own."
"Yes, ma'am."
Once Colt had left, Sophie pulled out her phone and hesitated for a moment before sending a message to Tricia. [Help me investigate the recent activities of Burke International. The more detailed, the better.]
Tricia quickly replied with an okay.
Yet, Sophie's heart remained uneasy.

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!...
