This remark successfully furrowed Sophie's brow.
Reece immediately stepped in front of Sophie, saying in a calm and unhurried tone. " Mr. Burke, it seems your taste has significantly declined since we last met."
Then, Reece turned his gaze towards Nichole, implying, "I wonder what kind of tricks Ms. Nichole has used. It seems the elite circle is coincidentally too fond of you."
Nichole smiled and said, "James and I are truly in love, and besides, we're already engaged. You might not have heard while you were at the police station, Mr. Reece, but Ms. Sophie and Mr. Colby have also gotten engaged, haven't they? However... when seeing you two alone together at this hour, it's hard not to think otherwise."
Reece detested such pretentious women. At this moment, Tricia also sensed something was off. She got out of the car, ran up to Sophie and Reece, and said, "Mr. Reece, it's good you're out. Colby is still waiting in the car for both of you. Let's get going."
Nichole immediately saw through Tricia's lie. She laughed and said, "I wondered who it might be, but it's just Tricia. Are you trying to cover for your boss? Mr. Colby is supposed to be getting engaged to Ms. Sophie. What kind of man would let his fiancée come out to meet another man alone in the middle of the night? Do you think anyone would believe your story?"
"Ms. Nichole, you're being too presumptive," Tricia retorted.
"I think she's right, though. If Colby is here, then let him come out. It would also prevent any misunderstandings."
James blatantly siding with Nichole made Sophie furrow her brow.
Colby hadn't come out with her, but if Colby couldn't show up now, what kind of rumors would Burke International spread about her and Reece tomorrow?
Reece couldn't afford to be slandered again.
At that moment, a figure emerged from the corner.
When Nichole saw the person coming towards them was Colby, her smile instantly froze.
Colby... Why was he here?
"Why are you out so late? Didn't you know I was waiting for you?"

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. More about what’s up with Gordon....
