Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 231

As Sophie hesitated, the door to the lounge suddenly opened. Colt walked in, holding a plate of blueberry cheesecake slices.

Sophie spoke into the phone, "I have other matters to attend to here. Let's talk tonight."

"Sure, Ms. Sophie."

The call ended.

Colt placed the cheesecake in front of Sophie, saying, "Mr. Burke ordered this, mentioning that cheesecake is your favorite."

Sophie glanced at the cheesecake on the table. She did indeed used to love it, but how could James have known? Clearly, James had never taken the time to understand her preferences in the past.

"Thank you. I'll rest here for a while. Call me when he’s ready."

"Of course." James agreed immediately, his eyes softening tenderly.

"Thank you." Sophie stood up, saying, "Since there's nothing else, continue with your work. I'll give you an answer today after reviewing the contract."

"I can have Colt take you."

"No need. I'm not accustomed to it."

After all, Colt had been driving Nichole around these last few years, and Sophie didn’t believe she had the stature to stand beside Nichole in James' heart yet.

Sophie walked out of the lounge directly, and as Colt entered, he couldn’t help saying, "Mr. Burke, even if you want to make amends with the madam, there should be a better way. If these shares really get transferred to her, then your power…"
