Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 210

In the conference room, James leaned in close to Sophie, whispering, "Sophie, I'm looking out for you. Stay away from guys like Colby and Blake. They have ulterior motives for getting close to you." Sophie didn't respond but took a step back, saying, "Mr. Burke, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."

Sophie was the first to leave the conference room. As soon as she pushed open the door, she was met with the sight of her curious coworkers craning their necks to catch a glimpse of the drama.

A flicker of jealousy passed through Nichole's eyes, but it quickly changed into a different expression when she saw James coming out of the room.

In her high heels, Nichole walked up to James with a radiant smile. "James, you're here."

James frowned, wishing to avoid any interaction with Nichole. He was about to walk past her when Nichole grabbed his arm, acting like a girlfriend who was playfully seeking attention from her boyfriend.

"James, did you come to see me?" Hope filled Nichole's eyes, especially since Sophie was quietly watching the scene unfold from a distance.

"Sophie, is the milkshake good?" At that moment, Reece walked over to the break room, handing Sophie a piece of afternoon tea cake.

Sophie was still upset from James' earlier appearance, and responded indifferently with a "Hmm."

When James looked up and saw Sophie's eyes, then glanced at Reece by her side, he couldn't help but feel a sting. It seemed like she was kind to every man but him.

"James?"

Nichole was anxious about his reaction. She didn't want to become the laughing stock among her colleagues.

James watched Sophie from a distance, feeling a mix of emotions. He instinctively showed Nichole a doting smile. "Yes, I'm here to pick you up once you're done with work." "Great, then I'll leave work early today, and we'll go out for dinner. How does that sound?" Nichole happily clung to James' arm.

Sophie turned her gaze away upon seeing this.

"Are you okay? Are you feeling feverish?" Reece placed his hand on Sophie's forehead, bringing them very close together. Only James witnessed this scene. The look in Reece's eyes was unmistakably that of a man gazing at the girl he loves.

"James, let's go." Nichole continued to act affectionately towards James.

James gave a deep "Hmm" in response.

At this moment, the female employees in the company showed envious expressions towards Nichole.

She was a young graduate student from a prestigious university and had the love of the CEO of Burke International. Nichole was indeed seen as the epitome of success. Outside the company, Nichole was still saying, "How about we go to your favorite restaurant tonight?"

The next second, James coldly pulled his hand away from Nichole's grasp. Nichole was taken aback, confused about what had just happened. "James?"

"Enough. Aren't you tired of pretending like this every day?" James' voice was nearly as cold as ice.
