"Just letting them go like that, Sophie? You're too soft!"
Adler watched the retreating figures, shaking his head in disbelief.
Sophie replied, "They're just working folks, doing their job. You've already beaten them up. They didn't finish their task, so now they're broke and bruised. Keeping them here serves no purpose. Unless you want to take them to the hospital?"
"...Good point. I'm not taking them!"
Sophie turned to Colby and asked, "Are you hurt?"
"Not a scratch."
Colby spread his arms wide, giving Sophie a clear view. "They couldn't lay a finger on me."
Seeing this, Adler turned to Jenna beside him and asked, "Let me see, did you get hurt?"
"If you're not hurt, how could I be? Those small fries weren't even worth my time."
"...That's my Jenna, always so formidable!"
"Of course!"
Just then, Rick entered from outside and turned to Sophie. "Ms. Sophie, Colt is here."
Behind Rick, Colt walked in. "Ms. Sophie."
"What's up?"
She had just left Burke International, and now they were already knocking at her door. It probably wasn't anything good.
Colt said, "Bea invites Ms. Sophie to visit the Burke family."
