Sophie paused, a playful smile tugging at the corners of her mouth as she regarded James. "And why, pray tell, would I agree to this? As of now, I'm just an intern at Aldridge Global. How does your investment in Aldridge Global benefit me exactly?"
"You still own a small share in S Corporation, which is linked to Aldridge Global. If Aldridge Global turns a higher profit, so does S Corporation, and you get a larger dividend."
James' logic was irrefutable.
Indeed, to the outside world, she, the once affluent Miss Russell in dire need of funds to settle debts, could hardly sustain her former lavish lifestyle with the meager dividends from S Corporation.
Since James shared her line of thought, Sophie acquiesced, "Alright, I agree."
As she approached him, she added, "But on one condition."
"Name it."
"I'll only accompany you for today, and we must maintain a respectful distance." Sophie took a step back to illustrate her point, "This step represents that distance."
"Agreed."
James accepted without hesitation, then asked, "Any other requirements? Feel free to voice them."
"...That's all for now."
Sophie, finding James' straightforwardness refreshing, diverted her gaze and began walking towards the amusement park.
A rare, faint smile graced James' face before they proceeded into the park, one after the other.
Sophie remembered visiting the park a few times as a child with her parents. After their death, she never set foot in one again.
"You can choose any ride; no need to queue."
"It's not about queuing. There's nobody else here."
James had rented out the entire amusement park. At this rate, they could cover every attraction in less than two hours.
A small smile appeared on Sophie's face. "So, I can choose any ride?"
