It seemed like he must have really messed up in a past life to be stuck teaching everything he knew to such a hopeless case.
"Are you okay? Feeling sick?"
James glanced at Angelo and said, "Being your teacher is the biggest regret of my life."
Then, he left the bewildered Angelo standing there and walked out the door. Bang! The door slammed shut behind him.
Angelo stood there, stunned, shouting, "But didn't you say I was doing alright?"
Driving his Porsche towards the Dragonvein Hotel, James arrived to find Odie standing in the cold wind. Odie had taken off his suit jacket and ripped off his tie. Hands on his hips, he directed the tow truck company to haul away his beloved car.
Watching James pull up in his Porsche, Odie felt a tightness in his chest.
James rolled down his window, gave Odie a once-over, and asked, "Mr. Odie, having a rough day?"
Odie couldn't even manage a smile. "Seems like I've been cursed with bad luck this year."
Jonah opened the car door for James, saying, "Mr. Burke, please."
"Park my car in the underground garage, will you? I'd rather not have anyone messing with my tires."
James's words felt like another jab at Odie's heart.
Seriously, what kind of taste does Sophie have? Neither of these guys are any good!
James glanced at Odie but stayed silent. Sometimes, you really had to question their intelligence.
Suddenly, Odie looked up at James and asked, "Kiran has taken all my overseas operatives. What do you have to say about that?"
James calmly replied, "I don't even know who your operatives are, Mr. Odie. Are you seriously suspecting me?"
Odie's voice grew colder, "You might not know all of them, but you certainly know some. With your capabilities, digging deeper wouldn't be difficult. Besides, it was your idea to get me engaged to Vanessa. Now things turned out this way. I can't help but be suspicious."
"So, Mr. Odie invited me here to point fingers?" James feigned difficulty, "The idea might have been mine, but the decision was yours. Besides, the Burkes have no influence overseas. I simply don't have the means to uncover your operatives abroad for the Mintons. Lastly, I have absolutely nothing to do with the Pollards. If Kiran acted against you, how could I possibly have known?"
Odie was about to continue questioning when James interjected, "The Pollards' involvement is a result of your own mishandling of Ms. Sandy. Let's not start blaming me for everything."
