As Sophie hesitated, the door to the lounge suddenly opened. Colt walked in, holding a plate of blueberry cheesecake slices.
Sophie spoke into the phone, "I have other matters to attend to here. Let's talk tonight."
"Sure, Ms. Sophie."
The call ended.
Colt placed the cheesecake in front of Sophie, saying, "Mr. Burke ordered this, mentioning that cheesecake is your favorite."
Sophie glanced at the cheesecake on the table. She did indeed used to love it, but how could James have known? Clearly, James had never taken the time to understand her preferences in the past.
"Thank you. I'll rest here for a while. Call me when he’s ready."
"Yes, ma'am."
Colt exited the room.
Sophie gazed at the blueberry cheesecake on the table, lost in thought.
What exactly was James up to?
She couldn’t believe James was at a loss with S Corporation, and his actions today were indeed strange.
Could it be he had other intentions?
In the afternoon, James emerged from the meeting room and noticed that Sophie hadn’t touched the cheesecake. He said, "Isn't this your favorite cheesecake?"
"I indeed used to love blueberry cheesecake, but not anymore." Sophie's tone was indifferent.
James looked down, his expression dimming. "It’s okay. From today onwards, I'll remember the things you like."
"James, you said you'd give me 20% of the shares in Burke International. Is that true?"
Sophie averted her gaze from James. "Well, since you've said so, I'll not decline these shares."
Sophie picked up the contract on the table, adding, "But, I never believe in free lunches. I'll thoroughly review this contract. That's okay, right?"
"Of course." James agreed immediately, his eyes softening tenderly.
"Thank you." Sophie stood up, saying, "Since there's nothing else, continue with your work. I'll give you an answer today after reviewing the contract."
"I can have Colt take you."
"No need. I'm not accustomed to it."
After all, Colt had been driving Nichole around these last few years, and Sophie didn’t believe she had the stature to stand beside Nichole in James' heart yet.
Sophie walked out of the lounge directly, and as Colt entered, he couldn’t help saying, "Mr. Burke, even if you want to make amends with the madam, there should be a better way. If these shares really get transferred to her, then your power…"
