Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 65 Turning The Tables

White. If you don’t have what it takes, Mr. Tanner, you should let someone more capable take your place.”“That’s right! Why tire yourself when you can just sit back and let your dividends take care of you? In case you didn’t notice, you’re not doing a very good job.”Charmaine looked at Sophie and realized that the young woman was simply sitting there as though what was happening around her mattered not.“We can keep doing this and waste everybody’s time, or we can raise our hands and vote!
