No one here knew she was James' ex-wife.
But that made sense. Summerfield was miles away from Devonport, where everything cost twice as much. Who would recognize her, a once-wealthy lady of the now-bankrupt family?
As Sophie scanned the room, Odie suddenly extended his arm in front of her. She frowned at the arm blocking her path. "What are you doing?"
"As my date, shouldn't you be a bit more aware of your role?"
"…So?"
Sophie played dumb, so Odie pulled his arm back, his voice cold. "Forget it then."
With that, Odie headed for the hotel entrance. Sophie noticed and quickly caught up, slipping her arm through his. She smiled, "Mr. Odie, I was just joking. As your date, I'll stick by your side, no doubt about it."
Odie responded coolly, "I don't like jokes. If you joke with me again, I'll leave you here alone. The night wind in Devonport is freezing, and with your constitution, Ms. Sophie, you might only last a few hours."
Sophie forced a smile through her discomfort.
She would never admit that she had zoned out and missed Odie's point.
Outside the hotel, Daniel approached Odie swiftly. "Mr. Odie, this is Mr. James Burke, the CEO of Burke International from Devonport."
Sophie glanced at James, who was coldly scanning her.
