NovelReadingChapter 1712 Even for this outing with Ms. Sophie, Mr. Gordon had burned the midnight oil, working several late nights just to handle the Aldridge family's top brass. Why would he suddenly change his plans now? Rick knew he shouldn't meddle in Gordon's personal affairs, but he couldn't keep quiet. "Sir, Ms. Sophie really wants to go to the amusement park with you. No one else can fill your shoes. If you back out, she'll be heartbroken." With that, Rick turned on his heel and left Gordon's study. Gordon, who had been engrossed in his book, looked up once Rick was gone.

"Miss Sophie, someone's here to pick you up." "Okay, I'm coming!" Sophie gave her hair a quick touch-up and dashed downstairs. But when she reached the front of the Russell family estate, it wasn't Gordon's car she saw-it was Colby's.
Colby was casually leaning against the car, waiting patiently. Seeing him, Sophie's brows knitted in confusion. "What are you doing here? Where's my brother?" Her face was a mix of suspicion and annoyance.
"Something cup for Gordon, so he couldn't make it," Colby explained, opening the car door. "He askedto take you to the amusement park and stay with you till it shuts." "Why should I go with you? I don't want your company." Sophie didn't bother hiding her displeasure and turned to head back inside, but Colby quickly caught her by the arm and gently pulled her back.

If anyone's suffering, it's me." Colby slid into the driver's seat with ease. He drove smoothly, though his speed was carefully maintained.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Sophie grumbled, "Why did my brother send you? Are you two buddies or something?" "Ask him." "My brother says he barely knows you!" "Then he barely knows me." "I don't like you!" "I don't need you to like me." "You!"
Sophie's expression darkened, and finally, she threw a bit of a Cantrum. "I want out of this car!" "Are you sure about that?" Colby pulled over abruptly. Just as Sophie reached for the door handle, he
remarked, "Wandering around in high heels, a lady like you is sure to attract sunwanted attention. Theard you never go out without a squad of bodyguards. Think you can handle it alone?" "I..."
Sophie hesitated, then muttered, "I can't. I'll call my brother to cget ve me. He's Swamped and can't come." "You're lying! My brother cares aboutmore than anything. He'd never lie to me!"
