Sophie settled back into her office chair, her mind clearly elsewhere from work.

Tricia cleared her throat, saying, "Ms. Sophie, if I may be so bold, our reality show is about to start filming soon. You'll be spending a lot of time with Mr. Burke. Perhaps it's wise to... give Colby a bit of a heads- up."

Sophie glanced at the reality show proposal on her desk. "Once Upon an Ex," and with a flick of irritation, snapped the document shut. "Let him in."

"Right! I'll tell the reception to accept that delivery of flowers!"

"Come back!" Sophie frowned deeply. "Did I say to accept the flowers? Tell him to take them back."

"...Oh."

Tricia, looking somewhat regretful, turned to leave the office.

"Come back!"

"Ms. Sophie, is there anything else you need?"

"...Have him park his car in the parking lot. All those flowers are too conspicuous."

"Yes, Ms. Sophie."

After Tricia left the office, Sophie sighed as she looked down at Colby from her office window, feeling a tightness in her chest.

She had gone straight home last night, shutting Colby out. Today, he had followed her to S Corporation, and If she didn't see him, who knows if he would follow her to the filming location. That would complicate things.
