"It's sort of my way of saying thank you to you, Ms. Sophie, for bringing me back to my room today."
"This gift seems a bit too extravagant, doesn't it?"
The Burke family was already in a precarious position, and now, this incident had likely added all the more pressure on James.
Their marriage could only end in divorce.
Sophie said, "Why are you helping me get a divorce? Could it be because of Harold?"
Gordon set down his mug, his gaze landing on Sophie. Though not intense, his look made Sophie instinctively lower her head.
Gordon was strikingly handsome, with a hint of a gentle demeanor in his features. Sophie felt her cheeks heat up, avoiding direct eye contact with Gordon.
Since she was very young, her parents had spoken of Gordon.
They said that despite his youth, Gordon was decisive and had single-handedly upheld the Aldridge family.
She remembered her father vividly describing Gordon's tactics. Though she couldn't recall the details, the name Gordon was etched in her mind.
In her eyes, Gordon had always been the young family head, with a reputation for being ruthlessly efficient. Sophie never even imagined meeting Gordon in person before.
Gordon spoke indifferently, "It's normal for there to be negotiations in business. I'm not doing this for anyone in particular."
He slid a contract across to Sophie. "This is a cooperation agreement between the Aldridge family and S Corporation, lasting ten years. See if there's anything amiss."
Sophie was startled, sure she hadn't misheard.
Gordon was talking about S Corporation, not Russell Enterprises. Gordon actually knew she was the controlling force behind S Corporation!
