"Absolutely!" "For a moment, I thought Mr. Burke was saying our company was in trouble." "No way! With a hefty chunk of Burke International's shares in your hands, how could there be any risk? Forget one Elodie, even ten Elodies couldn't touch you, right?" Angelo quickly tried to reassure her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSophie took a sip of her drink, only to realize it was cola. She couldn't help but watch Angelo closely.
Angelo was munching away, completely unconcerned about his appearance in front of her.
Sophie decided to test the waters. "I've heard Mr. Burke was quite the tough and decisive leader abroad. If our S Corporation could team up with the Pollard family, conquering the overseas market in Devonport would be a breeze, don't you think?" "Cough... cough, cough!" Angelo nearly choked on his rice. Tough and decisive? Was she talking about him? That sounded more like the old man! S Corporation partnering with the Pollard family? What was he supposed to say to that? "Ms. Sophie, you make a good point... Given our relationship, a partnership is definitely possible. However, this is a big deal. I'll need to discuss it with the old man back home..." Seeing Sophie's skeptical look, Angelo quickly backtracked. "I mean, I'll need to consult with the shareholders and inform the old man to get his blessing." "I heard Caelum has retired and no longer deals with the company's affairs. Isn't the Pollard family under your command now, Mr. Burke?" "Uh..." Was that what people were saying? Angelo didn't usually bother with the image others had of him, only catching bits of gossip here and there. If he slipped up in front of Sophie, that could spell disaster.
"That's true, but... I still need to check in. After all, the Pollard family's business isn't based in Devonport." "That doesn't sound right. Doesn't the Pollard family have muheenterprises in Devonport? They've been around for over a decade." "Do they?" He had no clue?! At this point, Angelo had lost his appetite. No one had told him the Pollard family had branches in Devonport. "Well... maybe. I'll have to check when I get back." Hearing this, Sophie already knew the truth. She raised an eyebrow slightly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe Pollard family didn't have any businesses in Devonport. As the heir, how could Angelo not know that? Clearly, something was off about his identity.
Sophie didn't call him out but stood up and said, "Alright then, I'll leave it to you to contact the headquarters overseas. I'll be waiting for the good news." én.s"Of course, no problem at all!" Angelo was eager to get rid of this thorn in his side. If she kept probing about the company, he felt like he might just break down! Who knew how vast the Pollard family's enterprises were? He never asked about the company's operations, and even if he had to remember something, it was out of his mind in no time.
After seeing Sophie out, Angelo immediately pulled out his phone. He saw a message from James and quickly called him.
"Sophie wants to partner with my family's business, the Pollard family. siness, Should Nagree or not?"
James was puzzled right from the start: "Sophie wants to partner with your family's business?" X
