"Come on, come on! It's a couple's matter. What's the use of you stopping it?"
"But..."
"No buts! Let's go already!"
Adler grabbed Jenna's hand and started walking towards the door.
Inside the boxing gym, Colby's punches were fast, accurate, and ruthless. Sophie could barely dodge with her agile figure. Colby frowned deeply. He then stopped holding back and aimed straight for Sophie's throat, his fingers stopping just an inch away. A little further, and Sophie would have been in mortal danger.
Sophie's breathing became rapid. In that moment, the murderous aura emanating from Colby almost made her freeze in place, too scared to move an inch.
"Sophie, an enemy won't show you mercy like I do. You can't just dodge every time I attack. If this continues, you'll just wear yourself out."
"I know, let's go again!"
That day, Colby's training had Sophie completely exhausted. She eventually collapsed into his arms.
Colby whispered, "That's enough for today."
Despite the exhaustion, Sophie found joy in it. She knew this was the only way she could learn to protect herself.
The next morning, Sophie took the initiative to visit Burker International.
The receptionist, seeing Sophie as a newcomer, couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, miss, who are you looking for?"
"I'm here to see Mr. Burke."
"Do you have an appointment?"
"No, I don't."
"I'm sorry, but Mr. Burke's schedule is very full. Without an appointment..."
Before the receptionist could finish, Sophie handed over her business card, saying, "Is an appointment still necessary?"
The receptionist looked up in surprise. She hadn't expected the stunning woman before her to be James' wife!
The couple's news had been all over the internet these days, but Sophie was even more beautiful in person than in the news!
"My apologies, Mrs. Burke. I'll notify Mr. Burke right away!"
The receptionist quickly called Colt, and upon hearing that Sophie was here, Colt immediately went downstairs to greet her.
In no time, Colt hurried over, and upon confirming that it was indeed Sophie, surprise was written all over his face. It was rare for Sophie to visit, and he wondered why she was here today.
"What? Not happy to see me?"
Faced with Sophie's question, Colt quickly said, "No, Mrs. Burke, this way, please."
Colt led Sophie to the CEO's private elevator, saying, "Mr. Burke was just in a meeting. You might have to wait in the reception room for a little while."
