Chapter 208 For years, this was the only company that dared to go head-to-head with Burke International.
*Mr. Burke, what should we do? Our company's shares have been falling, and many of our projects have been snatched up by S Corporation, causing our sales to drop across the board. If this continues, our losses will be severe." *S Corporation is clearly aiming for our pie. Maybe it's tto resort to sunconventional methods." The board members exchanged their views one after another. Since they couldn't confront S Corporation openly, their only option was to resort to underhanded tactics.
In the past, James might have agreed without hesitation. Now, he fell silent.

Or was it that Sophie had ties with Blake? James felt tired and rubbed his forehead. "I've got other matters to attend to. We'll discuss this later." Then, he stood up and left.
Standing beside him, Colt suggested, "Mr. Burke, perhaps you should take a hangover remedy first." James had drunk quite a bit the previous night, and he was visibly not in the best condition.
"Have you found anything on Blake yet?" "Not yet. His background is very elusive. We have used all of our contacts, but we still haven't uncovered any personal information about Blake.* "What about Nichole?" "She went to Palm's Jewels on her own accord, where she was personally received by the general manager. Now, Ms. Nichole is Mrs. Burke's top aide." Colt left it at that, but James got it.
He had Nichole co ed Nichole to the big shots at various occasions, and they all recognized her. It seemed Mr. Donny had mistaken es' woman.
Colt asked "Mr. Burke, do you want Mr. Donny to fire Ms. Nichole?" "No need." James replied indifferently, "From now on, I won't interfere in Nichole's matters." "Understood." "Go get the car, I want to see Sophie." "At Palm's Jewels?" Colt was surprised. That meant James would also run into Ms. Nichole.
"I have squestions to ask her personally." At Palm's Jewels, Sophie was enjoying a milkshake that Reece had brought her on the set.
Reece had officially asked her to assist as an aide, but she didn't have to do anything but slack off.
While shooting, Reece flashed Sophie a smile, prompting her to make a funny face, which only made Reece's smile wider.

Just then, Alexis happened to be standing at the door and saw this scene. Frowning, she said, "Sophie, could you cout for a moment? There's someone looking for you."
Sophie stood up, straightening her appearance. She was curious to see who would visit her at work during the day, and saw a group of female employees standing up to peek at the person coming in.
Mr. Donny followed James, patiently saying, "Mr. Burke, the project we've been collaborating on has been doing well in the market. It's an honor for us to have you inspect our work." James had been distracted until he saw Sophie, and then his gaze softened.
Alexis said, "Mr. Donny, Mr. Burke, here she is. This is Sophie." Sophie frowned, not expecting James to find her at work.
"Let's find a quiet meeting room. I have something to discuss with Sophie alone."
