Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 183

Sophie stood up and began to sort through the documents in her hands.

Coincidentally, on her first day of internship, she was assigned to a company collaborating with Burke International.

To outsiders, Palm's Jewels seemed to have minimal financial interactions with the Burke family, with only a few project collaborations in the past. However, the economic growth of Palm's Jewels over the years was closely linked with Burke International.

Their relationship was anything but ordinary.

If it hadn't been for her recent need to confront Burke International, which led her to conduct extensive research, she wouldn't have known about this connection.

It seemed James had left quite a few contingencies in place.

The internship work was dull and mostly consisted of menial tasks.

At that moment, Sophie's phone pinged with a message from Reece. He had sent a photo of her slacking off at her workstation.

Sophie immediately realized what was happening and looked up to spot Reece standing just outside the employee area, surrounded by a few assistants.

He gave her a casual smile.

Sophie remembered that Reece had been making waves in the entertainment industry lately, having risen above Corin in status. Today, Reece was here at Palm's Jewels to discuss a partnership. Palm's Jewels was a high-end domestic jewelry brand, and she had put in considerable effort to land this business deal.

That young man indeed had some skills.

"Sophie, where are the files I asked you to organize?" Alexis asked impatiently.

Training new staff was always tiring, especially when faced with their youthful faces that reminded Alexis of her own fading youth.

"Here they are." Sophie handed over the documents to Alexis.

Alexis glanced through them briefly, noticing that Sophie's attention was still outside.

Following Sophie's gaze, she caught sight of Reece and naturally assumed Sophie was flirting with him. She scoffed coldly, "Focus on your job and stop daydreaming." Then, Alexis turned and walked away.

Sophie let the comment go in one ear and out the other. She wasn't planning to take this internship or its people seriously, as it was just for a month.

During lunch, Sophie casually ordered some takeout and was about to fetch some hot water outside the employee area when a hand pulled her into a corner. Reece was dressed in a trendy white suit, his shirt open to reveal a sleek line of chest muscles, and a silver earring in his left ear adding a touch of allure. "Ms. Sophie, don't you think you owe me an explanation?"

Sophie opened her mouth. Faced with Reece's question, she hadn't intended to hide anything. "I'm studying at Eastwood College, you knew that, right?" Reece remained silent, waiting for her to continue.

Sophie said, "Eastwood College has an internship requirement for graduates, and the school assigned me here."

Reece seemed to be gauging the truthfulness of her statement.

Sophie pushed Reece away, saying, "Technically, I'm your CEO, so why are you questioning me?"

"Sorry, I always thought we were partners," Reece corrected.

Sophie didn't argue. She hadn't planned on having Reece as a subordinate anyway.

With Reece's potential to become a leading actor in a few years, rather than having him under her at this time, it made more sense to partner with him for a mutually beneficial long-term relationship. Sophie looked around. An actor pulling aside a staff member during lunch break would surely make headlines if the security cameras caught them.
