Still Your Dog? No, I'm Gone novel Chapter 57

Chapter 57

I simply smiled at Soren’s words. I was too lazy to brag about such great achievements.

Sophia glanced at me. “Whoa, I didn’t realize you were so capable,” she said.

She went on, “That person is Soren Levine, the big shot in Brinestone. Everyone shows him respect. Even Benson treats him like an equal. I didn’t expect you two to have such a good relationship.”

I waved her off. “Don’t say that. He’s a righteous man. I just did him a favor. That’s all.”

Sophia pursed her lips. “A favor? I heard about the Levine family going bankrupt, even while I was abroad. Nobody could fix that mess. I didn’t expect you to be the one who settled this

matter.”

I smiled bitterly and shook my head. Her compliments seemed endless.

“Okay. Stop making fun of me. Our company will launch in a few days. We’re expecting a crowd, so we had better get ready.”

After bidding Sophia goodbye, I headed to the hospital. I filled Tory in on everything that had been happening.

“Three years,” I said quietly. “While you’ve been lying here for three years, I’ve been working for the Laytons. Now I’m finally free, but you… When are you going to wake up?”

I sighed as I looked at Tory’s face, and my heart ached for her. She should be in the prime of her life, but instead…

The thought made me hate Camille even more. But alongside that hatred, I couldn’t help feeling grateful to Benson. Ignoring everything else that had happened, he had saved my sister’s life.

At least those three years were behind us now, and everything was finally over. I had the means to get Tory proper treatment. I was convinced that things would only get better from

here.

Over the next few days, I worked at the warehouse while Sophia stopped by every day. When I’d work late, she’d show up with food and drag me away from whatever I was doing to eat

with her.

We were starting from nothing, but we both knew that this thing was going to take off.

The launch of our business was just around the corner..

When the day arrived, a significant crowd gathered, comprised of the Hartwell family’s connections and some of my former business contacts.

“Congratulations, Max!”

Soren had brought several large flower arrangements that were displayed at the entrance. The moment he saw me, he pulled me into a bear hug

Behind him, Hunter’s face darkened as he looked at me, but then he turned to Sophia. “Sophia, congratulations on your grand opening.”

She smiled politely and thanked him.

That day marked our official launch, and we’d drawn quite a crowd. Several companies had already expressed interest in working with us, which delighted me.

Just then, the screech of brakes echoed from the street.

It seemed that Camille had arrived. She strutted in on high heels, her head held high with arrogance. That pretty boy Kieran followed behind her.
