"Rick," Gordon called out suddenly, his voice calm but firm. "You're talking too much." "... Yes, sir."

As Rick headed out, he gave Sophie a playful wink.

Sophie's heart fluttered with warmth. She knew her brother treated her differently.

"Do you really keep a stern face when you're out and about, big brother? What does that even look like? | want

to see it!" Sophie teased, trying to catch a glimpse of anything other than Gordon's usual composed look. But

Gordon's face remained as steady as ever. "He's just exaggerating. Don't believe him."

"Oh... | thought | was special. Turns out I'm just like everyone else," Sophie pouted playfully.

She quickly sneaked a glance in Gordon's direction, hoping to spot any change in his expression.

Gordon had already caught on to Sophie's little act. A faint smile tugged at his lips as he said, "You've been going

on about wanting to visit the new amusement park downtown. Still up for it?"

The mention of the amusement park lit up Sophie's face. "Didn't you say you were too busy to take me? Has Mr.

Aldridge finally eased up so you can takeout?"

"Yes," Gordon said. "I managed to carve out stat three this afternoon."

"But three in the afternoon is so late!"

"There's a fireworks show in the evening. It's the best t| could manage," Gordon replied, a touch of

resignation in his voice.

As the future head of the Aldridge family, he had a mountain of responsibilities, particularly since their father

had started slacking off. Juggling the family's affairs left him with little tfor leisure, making any outing feel

like a rare treat.

"No biggie. Just having you with me, even for an hour, makeshappy," Sophie said with a bright smile, her

spirits lifted.

"Go get ready. I'll have Rick pick you up in the afternoon."

"Awesome!" Sophie chirped, leaping up like a giddy child and bouncing out of the room.

Once Sophie had left, Gordon's face slipped back to its usual calmness.

"She's off," Gordon replied flatly. "Get ready for the afternoon meeting."

"Sir,

"But sir, didn't you cancel all your meetings for this afternoon a few days back? You mentioned wanting to

surprise Ms. Sophie and take her to the amusement park..."

Before Rick could finish, Gordon shot him a look that shut him up immediately.

"Just follow my instructions. No unnecessary questions."

"Yes, sir."

Rick set down the pastries and, as he was about to leave, hesitated. "Sir, about Ms. Sophie..." "Someone will pick

her up," Gordon said, his face giving nothing away.

Rick was momentarily taken aback. He'd never seen such an expression on Gordon's face before. In the past,

Gordon had always been meticulous about Ms. Sophie's matters, personally taking care of everything and never

breaking a promise to her.
