“Ms. Sophie, Reece has already agreed to it.” Tricia reported, as Sophie glanced at her phone and said, “I already know.”
On the phone screen, Reece had sent a message (Leave it to me]
Tricia was somewhat puzzled, not understanding the meaning behind Reece’s words, but then she remembered something more important and said, “Burke Intemational has sent an invitation, asking the executives of Russell Entertainment to attend the dinner hosted by both the Burke and Russell families tomorrow night.”
Sophie was unimpressed “Let me see the invitation.”
Tricia sent the invitation to Sophie
Sophie glanced at the electronic invitation and saw that James had indeed personally distributed it.
“Who’s invited?”
“All the executives of Russell Entertainment, the top management of Burke Entertainment, and the media.”
Hearing the word ‘media Sophie just scoffed.
James‘ favorite tactic was to manipulate public opinion. With the media invited to this dinner, wasn’t James‘ intention as clear as day?
Tricia hesitated before saying, “Ms. Sophie, maybe you shouldn’t go.”
“No, if he so wishes for me to attend, then I shall give him that honor.

prince charming
Reece, ever the gentleman, opened the car door for Sophie. Sophie sat in the back, and Reece took the seat beside her.
Reece said, “I know what you want to do, so don’t worry, Ill help you.
Looking at Reece sitting beside her, Sophie noticed the added maturity on his face. It was different from the first time they met. He was no longer the fresh graduate struggling to find his way
