"What did you find?"

Sophie lowered her eyes and replied, "Just some old stuff. I'm sorry, Mr. Gordon, it was just a spur-of-the-moment decision."

Gordon didn't push further. Instead, he eyed her snow-white satin dress and said, "Ms. Sophie, dressed like that, are you going somewhere?"

"There's a press conference. I've got some things to sort out."

Gordon gave a gentle smile, "I've caught wind of the buzz online. It's nothing major. If you ever need the Aldridge family to step in, I can arrange for that."

"If it's not a big deal, I can handle it myself. No need to trouble you, Mr. Gordon."

"Mr. Gordon... take care of yourself. I'll be heading out now."

"Alright."

Gordon nodded.
