Half an hour later, in the CEO's office at S Corporation-

Sophie glanced at the accounts in her hand, eyes wide with surprise. "Not only did we not lose money, but we actually made quite a profit? Mr. Adler, you've really outdone yourself. I'm impressed!" "Seriously?"

Jenna came over, and after seeing the substantial profit, she chimed in, "It must be because of the decisions made after Sophie left Devonport. Otherwise, how could we have made so much money?"

"It wasn't me!" Adler quickly added. "All the credit goes to Mr. Gordon. You have no idea; after Sophie left, Elodie went nuts attacking S Corporation. With my limited skills, I couldn't handle it. Mr. Gordon took care of everything!"

Sophie asked, puzzled, "How did Mr. Gordon manage that?"

"I don't know, maybe he used some kind of charm offensive or something."

"Get outta here! You think Mr. Gordon is like you?" Jenna smacked Adler on the back of his head and said, "Even if you used your rear end to think, you should know that Mr. Gordon dealt with Reeves International through business savvy and connections. Otherwise, how could Elodie have been so restrained?"

"I was just saying! Why'd you hit me?" Adler pouted, feeling wronged.

Hearing Adler mention Mr. Gordon's intervention, Sophie asked, "Has Mr. Gordon been at Burke Estate all this time?"

Adler nodded. "Yeah, where else would he go? I bet he's hardly ever left home. This time, he flew directly to Summerfield for your and Colby's wedding, which was a big deal! Mr. Gordon is really a stand-up guy."
