Sophie turned and left the mall, leaving James feeling nothing but exhausted as he rubbed his temples.
He asked in a low voice, "Who let the news out?"
"It seems to be Ms. Calla."
Colt hesitated for a moment. Only a few people in the company knew about his arrangements for the venue, the selection of gifts, and the planning of the birthday party. He hadn't expected the news to reach Calla's ears.
Watching Sophie walk away, James asked, "Do you think I really have no chance left?"
"Mr. Burke…"
Even in that moment, he had never seen a hint of himself in Sophie's eyes. However, when Sophie spoke of that dream, her eyes did reveal a touch of bitterness and acceptance.
Outside the mall, Sophie regretted not driving away when she had the chance. Now, here she was on the busiest commercial street in Devonport, wondering where she could catch a cab home.
The next second, a Porsche appeared out of nowhere in front of Sophie.
Before Sophie could collect her thoughts, the car window rolled down, and there sat Colby with an untamed look on his face. "Get in."
Sophie didn’t hesitate and took the passenger seat next to Colby.
Sophie asked, "How did you know I was here?"
Colby's face was devoid of smiles. Almost petulantly, he pressed the car's radio button.
'In today’s news, Burke International's CEO, James, has spared no expense in an attempt to win back his wife, organizing a birthday celebration for her in the city’s most bustling shopping district...'
"The news got out fast." Sophie couldn't help but chuckle, saying, "It seems like the incident with Bea will be all over the news soon."
"Feeling hurt?"
Sophie raised an eyebrow, "Not really. Bea's words didn’t get to me."
A faint, almost imperceptible smile appeared on Colby's face. "Buckle up. I'm taking you somewhere."
"Okay."

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.
