Chapter 390
Sophie instinctively glanced towards the kitchen, where Colby was leisurely frying eggs clad in a black apron.
Noticing Sophie's gaze, Colby looked up, their eyes meeting directly. Sophie quickly averted her gaze, but it was a moment too late. *Food's ready!"
Adler shouted, then came out carrying plates for three while Colby placed a plate in front of Sophie.
Seeing this, Adler couldn't help but sigh, "Ah, when will you ever be this considerate towards your friend here?"
Jenna teased from the side, "Towards you? Maybe in your next life.”
Sophie lowered her head to eat Her phone buzzed with a message from James.
Sophie glanced at Colby subconsciously. She noticed that he wasn't looking her way and opened the message."
James: [Meet me at the Regent Hotel at 8 PM.]
Sophie hesitated for a moment, then thought of the dream she had and sent a message back.
Sophie: [I'll come to Burke International to find you now.]
After sending the message, Sophie placed her phone face down on the table. "I'm done eating. I need to step out for a bit," she said, putting down her fork.
"Do you want me to come with you?" Jenna asked.
"No, I just have a small matter to attend to."
Sophie went back to her room and changed into a simple outfit.
In the living room, Adler said, "Bro, this is your chance to shine. Since you're free anyway, why not play chauffeur and give Ms. Sophie a ride?"
"She doesn't want me to go."
Colby just glanced at Sophie's phone lying on the table and knew she was going to see James.
Adler didn't understand, "How do you know she doesn't want you to drive her? Maybe she does."
'Clack'
Colby pressed
down on the plate, then stood up and left.
Adler looked down at the plate, now split in two. How much frustration must one have to break a plate with a fork?
When Sophie came out, Colby was nowhere to be seen in the living room.
"Where's Colby?" Sophie asked.
"He went back to his room, probably to catch up on some sleep," Jenna lied.
Sophie paused for a moment, then took her phone, saying, "Then I'll be going. Don't wait for me for lunch. I'll head straight back to the Russells after I'm done."
Jenna was taken aback. "So, you're not staying here anymore?"

"Colby is throwing a tantrum over who knows what! Now look, his girl's gone.",
Adler was frustrated, yet Jenna sensed something amiss, "Do you think Colby thought Sophie was going to meet James?"
"Meet James? Their rivalry is so intense! What could they possibly have to meet about!"
Jenna said, "Matters of the heart are complicated. Maybe Sophie went to finally put an end to things with James."

Adler was astounded, "I don't get what James is thinking, flaunting a mistress when his wife was around. Now, he does not want to let go of his wife. Compared to James, Colby really is one in a million." The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!
Jenna rolled her eyes. "Seems to me they're cut from the same cloth. Has the
issue with Vanessa been resolved yet?"
