“Is something wrong?” Debra asked. Sophie wouldn’t come to find her for nothing.

Sophie glanced around, and Debra said, “Come with me.” Debra led Sophie to an empty meeting room, handing her a cup of tea. “Now you can speak.”

Sophie took a deep breath. “It’s Miss Miles. She’s back.”

Debra was surprised. “Shelia is supposed to be with Edgar. Why did she suddenly return to the Nichols family?”

She said nonchalantly, “Sophie, I’m no longer Mrs. Nichols. You know I’m in the middle of a divorce from Juan. It’s only a matter of time.”

Sophie persisted, “Shelia isn’t a good woman. Mr. Nichols was only under her spell before. He was drugged and…” She knew this was an unsavory topic but felt compelled to speak up. “I’ve seen how you care for Mr. Nichols since the day you entered the house. Now Mr. Nichols only wants you, and I don’t want to see Shelia ruining everything.”

“I understand. You want me to reconcile with Juan.” Debra shook her head gently. “But from the start, things wouldn’t have worked out.”

“Madam…”

“Don’t call me Madam anymore. Thank you for telling me this. Shelia is difficult to deal with as the lady of the house. If possible, Sophie, you’d be better off staying with Melody.”

Sophie sighed and nodded, understanding the wisdom in Debra’s words. Everyone had their fate, and others couldn’t change it.

Debra asked, “But if Shelia came back to Melody, is she looking to marry…?”
