Aldridge Global's trainee program was put on hold, so Sophie naturally didn't have to go to Aldridge Global anymore. Meanwhile, S Corporation had a lot of new projects recently approved for follow-up by Colby. Tricia sorted through the recent projects and entered the office with Sophie, saying, "Julian and those trainees have all joined S Corporation's entertainment company. Reece is personally leading the project."
"I trust Reece's capabilities. Let him have full control over there."
"There's something else." Tricia placed an invitation on Sophie's desk, saying, "This is an invitation from the Burke family."
"The Burke family? Who sent it? James?"
"No, it's Bea."
Sophie examined the invitation in her hands, flipping it over.
Bea had long fallen out with her, so an invitation at this time surely spelled trouble.
Sophie opened the invitation to see that it was for a jewelry gala.
"Jewelry gala..."
Sophie sneered. She didn't believe for a second that Bea would invite her to a jewelry gala hosted by Burke International.
She carelessly set the invitation aside, asking, "Do you know what it's about?"
Tricia shook her head lightly, saying, "Erm, we don't know yet."
"Who else received this invitation?"
"Pretty much every notable name in the industry got one."
"Including the Freeman family?"
"Including the Freeman family."
Why would they attend after the recent unpleasantness with Bea?
There had to be a catch.
Sophie sensed danger, saying, "Leave the invitation here. S Corporation will not attend tonight."
"Are you not going?" Tricia frowned and said, "But Pittman Jewelry is the largest jeweler in Devonport, and we've been discussing a partnership. This jewelry business is much more upscale than Palm's Jewels. If Reece can secure an endorsement with Pittman Jewelry this year, his commercial value could triple."
Hearing Tricia's words made Sophie hesitate. She hadn't realized the Burke family had ties with Pittman Jewelry. If Pittman Jewelry favored the Burke family at this gala, Reece would lose his best chance to climb the ladder.
Sophie fell silent for a moment, then said, "Then we'll go. Just to be safe, you come with me. And remember, our purpose will be to court Pittman Jewelry, not to deal with the Burkes. Try not to spark conflict with the Burke family's people."
"Ms. Sophie, don't worry. I'll handle it."
Sophie nodded, sitting back in her chair and glancing at the invitation on the table. Then, she suddenly asked, "Ricardo... and Nichole, will they be there?"
"They should be, considering the Freeman family is attending. As the Freeman family's daughter and their future son-in-law, both are expected to be present."
