Booker said indifferently, "If you've already made up your mind, why bother asking me? Without me, you could still take over Cloude Enterprises without even negotiating here."
"It's not the same," Sophie retorted. "You're a long-time employee of Cloude Enterprises. No one inside knows it better than you. When Julian takes over Cloude Enterprises, it won't matter without you by his side, even if he's a finance expert. Besides... Weldon personally trained you. With your acknowledgment of Julian's role, I believe no one within Cloude Enterprises would object."
Booker pondered silently for a moment before responding, "Alright, I agree to it."
"Great, I'll have the team in Devonport draft the contract as soon as possible, and I hope for a smooth collaboration."
Sophie extended her hand, and Booker hesitated for a moment before finally shaking hands with her.
In the afternoon, the plane from Duskhaven to Devonport took off, and Sophie managed to get some good rest in the cabin for once.
By the time they landed, it was already midnight. Jenna, hearing of Sophie's return, left her dinner party, evening gown in tow, and rushed to Colby's place.
Once inside Colby's home, Jenna hugged Sophie and burst into tears. "I thought you were really gone this time! You scared me to death!"
"There, there, I'm fine, aren't I?" Sophie whispered in comfort.
Adler, unable to stand by any longer, stepped forward to pull Jenna away. "Jenna, she's come back from the brink. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger! What are you talking about!"
Jenna wiped her tears and said, "Anyway, it's all the same! It's good as long as you're back safe and sound. I was so worried over here in Devonport, fearing something might happen to you every day!"
"Alright, alright, wipe that stuff off your nose. It's disgusting!"
Adler was about to reach for a tissue on the coffee table when Jenna grabbed his high-end suit and wiped her face on it, instantly darkening Adler's expression. "Jenna!"
