Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 529

Sophie rubbed her temples with a sigh, murmuring under her breath, "Vultures..."

"Ms. Sophie, what did you say?"

"Nothing."

Sophie wouldn't dare badmouth Gordon behind his back. She had thought Gordon had given up on the idea of launching her career, but, to her surprise, he was still keen on it.

Tricia chimed in, "Ms. Sophie, honestly, this could be great. Your popularity hasn't faded yet. Wouldn't this be a significant addition to S Corporation?"

"Have you ever seen a boss single-handedly take the lead as the star?"

Tricia shook her head like a bobblehead doll.

"Exactly," Sophie said, her words muffled. "Just make up some excuse. Say that I'm too caught up with the company, dealing with Ricardo, and don't have the time or energy..."

"Ms. Sophie, what did you say?" Tricia looked puzzled, unable to catch a single word Sophie had said.

Covering her face, Sophie admitted she didn't have the courage to refuse Gordon. So, she said, "Never mind, I mean, I'm free lately. Whatever schedule he arranges, I'll accept it all."

Seeing Sophie agree so readily, Tricia couldn't help but ask, "Ms. Sophie, you don't want to go, do you?"

"What good does not wanting to go do for me? The contract is in their hands."

"Mr. Gordon is so good to you, even with a contract. Mr. Gordon wouldn't make it a problem if you don't follow through."

"I know."

"Then why..."

"That's why I feel I can't let him down. Since I've agreed, naturally, I should fulfill it." Sophie tidied her desk. "I'll need you to look after some of my tasks lately. Actually, there's nothing much. It's just business as usual. For business matters, consult Colby and Adler, and most importantly, keep a close eye on Ricardo and report every move of the Cloude family to me."

"Yes, Ms. Sophie."

Just after Tricia finished reporting, Sophie's office phone rang.

Sophie answered, and the receptionist's voice came through, "Ms. Sophie, your mother-in-law insists on seeing you. We couldn't stop her."

"What does she want?"
