Sophie spoke in an indifferent tone, "It's getting late. Perhaps it's best if we all head home."
Sophie was the first to stand, prompting the executives to hurriedly follow suit.
The dinner had been uncomfortable for them. They had been eager for the gathering to end.
"Mrs. Burke has suggested we head home, so let's call it a night," someone said.
People began to stand, and when James glanced at Sophie, he noticed that her expression was unchanged, as if the evening's drama hadn't dampened her spirits.
James stood up, ignoring the glances from those around him, and took Sophie's hand, leading her outside.
Sophie frowned but did not protest due to the setting.
Once outside, James opened the car door for Sophie and then got in after her.
Calla saw James leaving without waiting for her and hurried after them, only to see James driving off with Sophie.
Calla's expression darkened. James had left her behind.
"Do you really think mimicking my style will make James notice you?" Nicole emerged, smugness written all over her face.
Calla regained her composure, and asked, "I'm sorry, do I know you?"
"Don't play dumb with me. Sophie once had to imitate me just to get James's attention. You're nothing but a poor imitation," Nicole scoffed, already plotting her next move.
Mrs. Burke's position was within her grasp. No one could compete with her, neither Sophie nor Calla.

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!...
