"Explain yourself! What's James up to, sending you to spy on Sophie?" Jenna shoved Angelo onto the living room couch, sweat already starting to drip from his forehead under the intense questioning from the three of them.
"Oh dear God! Just killnow!" Angelo muttered.

Don't even think about denying it!" "I" Angelo stammered. Faced with Jenna and Adler's piercing gazes, he gritted his teeth and confessed, "Alright! Since you already know, I won't hide it. Truth be told... I've always suspected James had ulterior motives with Sophie! As your friend, I felt I had to do something. So, I got close to him to figure out what he's really up to!" Jenna seemed half-convinced. "Really?" "Of course! Who do you think I am? I'm the CEO of Pollard Enterprises! If I wanted to stay in touch with James, it would be a piece of cake!" Adler still looked skeptical. "So, you're saying you haven't been working for James?" "Con! I'm the CEO of Pollard Enterprises. What's James in comparison? He's lost control of Burke International. Why would I listen to him or run errands for him? Does that make any sense to you?" Adler was confused but couldn't deny that Angelo's reasoning seemed somewhat logical.
"You know, that does sound quite reasonable," Jenna said, exchanging a glance with Adler.
But Jenna quickly refocused, asking. "Then, what were you discussing with James just now? Show us your phone." "Cough cough-!" Angelo broke out in a cold sweat under Jenna's aggressive questioning.
Check his phone? What would they find? His daily detailed reports on Sophie sent to James every twenty-four hours? No way! If Jenna and Adler saw those, they'd think he was a complete creep.
"Oh James, you've really screwedover this time!" Angelo thought.
"Well, I'm not saying you can't look," Angelo said as he subtly started deleting his chat history. "But let's not forget I'm the CEO of the Pollard family's enterprise. What if you stumble upon strade secrets?" "Don't worry, we'll only look at your recent chat with James, nothing else!" "Fine!" Angelo agreed and picked up his phone.

Just as they were about to see his chat with James, his phone rang it was James calling. Angelo gasped. "Oh Almighty! Why now of all times? "бы Are you trying to seedead?"
"A call already? That was quick," Jenna noted, surprised. She hadn't expected James to call so soon. Xalso could it really be about simportant business deal?
Jenna raised an eyebrow, "Mr.
Angelo, how about we skip checking the chat and you just answer the call? Then we'll know whether you've betrayed us or not." With Jenna and Adler watching, Angelo had no choice but to answer James's call.
After a brief silence, James's voice cthrough, "About the deal we discussed earlier, can we finalize it in the next couple of days?"
