Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 201

Sophie put down her phone.

Alexis was sitting in the office waiting for Sophie to come in. Her expression was anything but friendly.

"Reece has specifically asked for you to follow up on his shoot. Just be a handy assistant on the side. There is no need for you to do anything else for now." Alexis' tone was unpleasant, and her gaze clearly suggested she thought Sophie had played some tricks behind the scenes.

"Alright, I got it."

Just as Sophie was about to leave, Alexis sneered, "Some interns don't learn anything useful. All they focus on is men. They really know how to bring a bad atmosphere to the workplace!"

Sophie didn't respond. There was nothing to explain to such a person anyway.

"Have you heard? Reece specifically asked for this intern to be his assistant. I wonder what's going on between them."

"What could be going on? She's just using her looks to seduce, that's all."

"I even saw her secretly meeting Reece in the hallway last time. She looks so pretty, but I didn't expect..."

Gossip in Palm's Jewels was rampant. Sophie was here just to fulfill her school's requirement for a month-long internship, and she had already heard almost all the company's gossip. When Reece's agent came to call her, the people around watched her with peculiar eyes.

"Do you know, your decision of having me assist your shoot has made me the target of all the women in the company."

Sophie's tone was mixed with a hint of helplessness, but Reece's face only bore a light smile. "Even if I hadn't asked you to assist me, they would still have made you their target." Sophie admitted that her days before today weren't easy either. She was always bombarded with endless nonsensical tasks. Being attractive was sometimes a curse.

"Could you please help me with this?" Reece's voice was teasing as he stretched out his arms, revealing his delicate collarbones.

Sophie held Palm's Jewels' recently launched men's jewelry. With Reece standing in front of her, the overwhelming aura made Sophie unsure how to proceed.

She said awkwardly, "I've never helped a man with earrings or belts before."

The theme for this session was Wild Style, a style that created a strong contrast on Reece. It was like an aloof and abstinent male god suddenly turning into a lustful wolf. "It's okay, I'll teach you."

Reece moved closer, his voice very low.

Reece was a good actor, and for a moment, Sophie really felt his eyes reflecting deep affection.

"Don't use me to practice your acting. I'm spoken for." Sophie clumsily fastened the belt around Reece's waist, her movements awkward.

Reece looked down and mentioned, "You're talking about James?"

Sophie paused in her actions.

Reece continued, "You weren't planning on divorcing?"

"Who said I wasn't planning on it? Just that the timing isn't right."

Right now, S Corporation indeed dealt a big blow to James, but it wasn't enough. She needed to come up with leverage that would force James to give her up. That would be when S Corporation completely threatened James' position, leaving him no room to fight back.

Reece was silent for a moment, then asked, "Need my help with anything?"
