Sydney's lips twitched. "Don't you know that I don't have a son?"
Sophie smiled in embarrassment. "Sorry, President Raines. I don't know what I was thinking. Don't be angry.”
"I'm not angry. This is the nephew of a friend of mine, Davey." Then, Sydney gently pushed Davey to Sophie. "Davey, this is Ms. Tillman."
"Hi, Ms. Tillman."
"Hello there." Sophie's heart melted.
Davey was too cute.
"Have some candy." Sophie suddenly remembered that she shoved some candy into her pocket when she left home that morning. She hurriedly took them out and handed them to Davey.
Davey did not take them and looked at Sydney instead.
Sydney nodded slightly.
Only then did Davey reach out to take it. " Thank you, Ms. Tillman."
"You're welcome." Sophie's eyes curved in a smile when she saw him take the candy.
Sydney could not help but raise her brows.
This was her first time seeing Sophie smile so heartily.
After all, Sophie’s nickname in the office was "the Ancient One".
She dressed in old-fashioned clothes, wore a pair of rustic black-rimmed glasses, and was often expressionless and fierce. That was how the nickname came about.
Sydney could not help but smile when she saw Sophie laugh like this.
Sure enough, no matter how serious a person was, they could not resist something cute.
"By the way, give me today's itinerary, Sophie." Sydney took Davey's hand and walked to the sofa in the office.
Sophie followed her and quickly opened the folder she always brought with her. She took out the itinerary and handed it to Sydney.
Sydney took a look at it. "Cancel the social meeting for this afternoon. The rest will be carried out according to the schedule."
"Understood.” Sophie nodded.
Sydney returned the itinerary to her." Okay, you can go out and buy some snacks and toys for Davey."
Sophie looked at Davey and readily agreed. "Of course. I'll be back soon."
Sydney hummed.
After Sophie left, Sydney carried Davey to the sofa. "Davey, you can watch TV here. I'll be working over there, okay?"
"Okay, you can work, Aunty. I can play by myself," Davey sat on the couch and said cleverly, swinging his little legs.
Sydney touched his head. "Good boy. This is the remote control. Call me if you need anything."
Then, she withdrew her hand and turned to walk toward her desk.
As soon as she reached her desk, the phone in her bag rang.
Sydney pulled the chair out to sit down.
Then, she took the phone from her bag and looked at it. Seeing that it was from the police station, she hurriedly answered," Hello?"
"Hello, Ms. Raines. This is from the police station."
"Yes," Sydney answered.
The man on the other end of the phone said, "The sentence for Lyra Madden has been determined."
"How many years?" Sydney immediately straightened up and asked when she heard those words.
Although she did not know how it was determined so quickly, it did not matter. What was important was that Lyra was sentenced.
"Three years," the man said, "However..."
Sydney frowned. "However, what?"
She was a little uneasy.
"However, since Lyra's injury hasn’t healed, one month of her sentence will be held in the hospital. The police will send people to monitor her 24/7, and she'll be transferred to a women's prison after one month."
"I see." Sydney nodded in realization and sighed with relief.
