Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 215

"Alright," Sophie said indifferently, "I'm a reasonable person. I'll do what I'm supposed to do. I won't slack off or be negligent during my internship. But don't expect me to pick up slack that's not mine." Sophie tossed a stack of documents in front of Nichole.

Nichole's face couldn't have looked worse. "Ms. Sophie, you are absolutely right! It won't happen again!"

Sophie smiled, "Then, let's leave it at that. I'll get back to work. Mr. Donny, please sign this document."

"Of course! I'll sign it right away!" Mr. Donny, scared out of his wits, signed immediately, not even worried about whether he could renew the contract with Reece next year. After all, offending Mrs. Burke meant that his priority wasn't making money but saving his own skin!

Nichole stood there, trembling with rage, as she watched Sophie return to her desk.

Nichole's infuriated look only made Sophie's smile grow wider.

To be frank, Nichole was somewhat clever and academically excellent. However, she simply didn't understand the rules of the social circle, thinking that clinging to James would secure her future. But even with her newfound status, everyone in the social circle would never accept her as anything more than a mistress who climbed up the ranks.

Just like Jessica, even though she's now the legitimate wife and Perry adores her, she was still ostracized in the circle of high society ladies.

Their statuses were mismatched, and their positions were obtained in disgrace.

After Mr. Donny had signed the document, he handed it to Sophie, who hadn't even watched it before handing it over to Tricia, standing beside her. "Tricia, take the contract. You may leave now."

"Yes, Ms. Sophie." Tricia gave Mr. Donny a sharp look as piercing as a knife.

At that moment, Sophie's phone buzzed with a message from Reece. [How's the battle going?]

Sophie replied. [Absolutely beautiful!]

"Are you firing me?" Nichole quickly caught the drift of Mr. Donny's words.

Mr. Donny delicately said, "Let me put it this way, our company is just not the right place. Besides, Ms. Sophie is Mr. Burke's wife. It's not quite appropriate for you to be here."

Mr. Donny was just short of calling her a homewrecker.

Nichole wasn't fazed and stepped forward. "If you are worried about offending Sophie, rest assured, James will soon divorce her. I'll make sure to speak highly of you to James."

"It's not about that!" Mr. Donny said, looking troubled. "The thing is, Ms. Sophie, has the entire Russell family behind her. The industry just got wind that Mr. Perry has handed over all the Russell family's affairs to Ms. Sophie. Palm's Jewels can't afford to offend her."

Nichole was stunned. "What are you saying? How is that possible?"
