Chapter 1027
Griffin scanned the room, and seeing no objections, turned and left the break room.
For three days straight, Aryan was sidelined, but Reeves International continued running smoothly.
Meanwhile, on a beach somewhere far away...
Sophie took off her sunglasses and sat up from her sun lounger. Angelo, who was having the time of his life on the beach, noticed and asked, "Sophie, heading back already?"
"Yeah, it's about time," Sophie replied, casually tossing her sunglasses aside.
In the distance, Colby parked the car and walked over to Sophie, draping a coat over her shoulders. "Your flight's booked, Mrs. Costello. Vacation's over."
"Heading back? Perfect!" Angelo exclaimed, unable to hide his excitement. He almost jumped for joy. Finally, it was over! He couldn't describe how much he'd endured here. The artists and staff had been living it up on his dime, and now it was his turn to kick back at the Burke Estate in Devonport.
Sophie glanced at the still frolicking employees and called out, "Alright, everyone, time to head back. We've got a mountain of work waiting for us, so let's get it together and not slack off."
The artists, who had been partying hard for days, raised their champagne glasses and shovels with glee. "Don't worry, boss! Watch us turn things around!"
Sophie smiled. Elodie might be good at nurturing talent, but nurturing and retaining talent are two different things. She and Elodie were never alike. Elodie treated her subordinates as mere tools and pawns, a lone ruler of her own game. But Sophie? She wasn't in this alone-she had a team of loyal friends ready to face any challenge with her.
As S Corporation returned to normal
operations, the internet buzzed with excitement. Fans gathered at the airport with banners, welcoming their favorite stars home. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Sophie, masked and capped to stay low-key, stood next to Colby, who, unfortunately, was too noticeable. Mistaking him for a lesser-known celebrity, fans turned their cameras on him. But Colby quickly frowned and wrapped his arm around Sophie.
Seeing this, passersby grumbled, "What's this? He has a girlfriend?"
"Why is he out here if he has a girlfriend? Ridiculous!"
The women initially drawn to Colby's looks quickly walked away, leaving Sophie chuckling. She hadn't expected a day when Colby would be shunned by fans. "What's so funny?" Colby asked.
"Just laughing at how my handsome husband can gather fans just by walking down the street. Maybe you should come to work tomorrow; I might make a fortune," Sophie teased.
"Should I call you shrewd or just carefree? You're really okay with putting me out there 'to work'? Not worried at all?" he asked.
Sophie whispered, "What's there to worry about? Our wedding's in a few days-you're not going anywhere."
"I wouldn't dream of it. Not in this lifetime, not in the next," Colby replied.
