In the afternoon, within Burke International, Colt stood hesitantly at the door of the CEO's office before finally knocking.
"Come in."
James was carefully trimming a bouquet of roses as Colt stood opposite him, seemingly struggling to find the right words.
James seemed to be in a good mood today. He glanced at Colt and asked, "What is it?"
"Mr. Burke, Ms. Sophie and Colby's engagement has been set, and it happens to coincide with your event. What do you think..."
Colt tentatively watched James' expression, but James' face remained as unreadable as ever.
"As long as the venues don't clash, it's fine. I don't want Nichole to be bothered by it."
After finishing with the roses, James turned to Colt and asked, "Have you booked the restaurant I mentioned?"
"...Yes, it's all arranged."
"Good, make sure you personally pick Nichole up and take her there."
"Yes, Mr. Burke."
Colt remained stationary, watching as James meticulously groomed himself. He couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Burke, Ms. Sophie and Colby are getting engaged. You..."
James replied indifferently, "My marriage to her was nothing more than a business alliance. The Costello Corporation announcing their engagement date now is simply a provocation, but their arrogance won't last long."
"Mr. Burke, I didn't mean..."
"What did you mean, then?"
Hesitating, Colt asked, "Ms. Sophie is getting engaged. Do you really feel nothing?"

Enjoying the story, to much victimising Sophie, they could at least try to target others. Hope at some point Sophie comes clean and forgives James and explain her view of loving the boy James was. 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.
