"Ms. Sophie"
"Hand it over."
Sophie noticed at a glance that it was Tricia's work phone, a device that usually received no personal calls. The only thing that could make Tricia look so troubled had to be something about Colby.
Sweat was already beading on Tricia's forehead as she handed the phone to Sophie.
The text was from Adler, brief and to the point: [Tonight's Costello family transition party, make sure Sophie doesn't find out.]
With just one glance, Sophie understood the gravity of the situation.
Colby had been back in town for a few days, and Lennon had officially announced the Costello family leadership would pass to Colby, but the party to celebrate the transition hadn't been held yet.
She had been wondering about the delay, and now she knew, Colby had ordered the news to be kept from her.
"Ms. Sophie, I..."
Sophie cut in coolly, "Tricia, I hope you understand that you are my assistant. Your salary doesn't come from Adler, nor from Colby, but from me."
"Yes, Ms. Sophie." Tricia's forehead was slick with nervous sweat.
Sophie continued, "If something like this happens again, don't bother coming to S Corporation anymore. Perhaps going back to your former CEO Colby would suit you better?"
"Ms. Sophie!" Tricia looked up suddenly, saying, "Ms. Sophie, there won't be a next time."
"Good." Sophie extended her hand, "Give me the invitation."
For an event as significant as the Costello family transition, Lennon would definitely send her an invitation.
Reluctantly, Tricia handed over the hidden invitation to Sophie.
