Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 405

Sophie didn't move.

Julian just gave her a brief glance before looking away again.

Skye whispered in Sophie's ear, "Someone is looking for you, Ms. Sophie. I hope you'll be cooperative."

Sophie looked at Skye and, feeling helpless, eventually followed her out.

"Pfft! Talking about not having a choice. She seems pretty happy to me!"

"Exactly, who wouldn't be happy to get special treatment? Who even likes the cafeteria food?"

Wendy and Jean were clearly unhappy.

Shirley's gaze remained on Julian, who was not far away. When she saw the two start to argue, she calmly said, "Alright, let's all go back to our meals." Everyone took Shirley's advice and sat down.

Meanwhile, Johnny leaned over to Julian to gossip. "Hey, what was with that glance you gave her? Are you into her?"

"Shut up and eat."

Julian's icy demeanor didn't change as the person across from him said, "Johnny, cut it out. Don't you know our captain? He's the eternal bachelor!" "Besides, why would our captain bother with the Russell family's divorcee when so many girls are into him? Why would he settle for leftovers?"

"Show some respect, man. How can you talk about a girl like that?"

"Yeah, yeah, Johnny is always the knight in shining armor for the ladies. Let's just eat, shall we?"

In the corner, Shirley quietly listened to their conversation, her grip on her fork tightening until it snapped in two.

"I'm done." Shirley stood up with her plate and then turned to leave.

At the same time, in the staff cafeteria, Sophie saw Tricia.

As soon as Tricia saw Sophie, she stood up and said, "Ms. Sophie."

Skye said to Sophie, "Take your time."

"Okay."

After Skye left, Tricia approached Sophie and said, "Ms. Sophie, I finally got in touch with you!"

"Is there a problem at the company?"

Sophie had been here all day and rarely dealt with the company's business.

"There's been an issue that needs your immediate attention."

Sophie continued eating, unfazed, "Didn't I leave you to handle everything on my behalf? And even if I didn't, Adler and Colby are still there. What could possibly happen?"

"It's Reece."

Sophie heard the name Reece and paused.

"What happened?"

She remembered Reece saying he would come over today, and she had waited all day without him showing up. She had thought maybe Reece got tied up with another commitment and couldn't make it, but now it seemed like something had happened.

Tricia's expression was grim as she said, "Reece was injured on his way to Aldridge Global today, and it's serious."

Sophie immediately put down her fork. "Why didn't you tell me this immediately?"

Tricia watched Sophie get upset and said, "Reece asked us not to say anything, but it's seriously affecting work. We investigated and found his car accident a bit suspicious. Someone tampered with the brakes."

"I'll leave right now. Have someone bring the car around!"

"Yes, Ms. Sophie!"

Sophie walked out, glancing at Skye, who obviously knew as well.
