Sophia hadn't seen Eddie for a long time. She called him but couldn't reach him. Finally, one day, she called Eddie and got through.
Sophia had heard from Albert that the Patton Group's case had been decided. The Patton family had paid a lot of fines and lost a lot of money. Their business suffered a great loss and a big crisis.
Eddie's voice seemed dull. "Oh, Sophia… Can I help you? If there is anything I can do for you!"
"No. I'm fine. I have been unable to contact you. I'm worried about you. Well, I'm relieved to hear that you're fine."
Eddie smiled, "You think I'll kill myself, do you? How could I do that? I suffered a more difficult time. I can do it. Thanks for your concern. I'll go to you when I settle everything."
Sophia cared about him. He was happy to know that, even happier than making a lot of money.
Patton Group needed a large infusion of money to throw the crisis, but the credibility problems made it hard to find investors.
