Odie nced at Sophie, noticing that Johns had tom her freshly changed clothes from today to shreds.


    Odie turned to Wayne and said, "Go fetch the gown."


    "Yes, Mr. Odie."


    Wayne left the room.


    Odie looked at Sophie again; he took a step forward, and Sophie stepped back, rmed. "What are you doing!"


    "Your dress is ruined."


    "I''ll pay for it, okay!"


    "The top alone costs $600, cash or card?"


    Sophie was penniless at the moment, with not even a phone on her. Where was she supposed to get $600?


    Mumbling, she said, "I owe you then. I''ll pay you backter."


    Odie scoffed. He never expected Sophie to be able to repay him.Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    Now, only Sophie and Odie were in the lounge. Sophie asked, "There''s a secret passage under the changing room of that boutique. I want to know what that''s about." Odie remained silent.


    Sophie continued, "After I fell from the changing room, someone knocked me out, and when I woke up, I was here. You owe me an exnation."


    "I don''t owe you anything." Odie gave Sophie a cold nce and said, "You better not cause me trouble, or else..."


    "Or else?"


    "Or else I''ll chop you up and feed you to the wolves."


    Odie''s threat sounded as credible as a child''s boast.


    Sophie peered at Odie and said, "Mr. Odie, are you really that afraid of Ms. Leticia?"


    "Shut your mouth." Odie couldn''t be bothered by Sophie.


    When Wayne brought in the gown, he noted the tense atmosphere between the two, cleared his throat, and said, "Ms. Sophie, Mr. Odie, here''s the gown."


    Sophie nced at the gown in Wayne''s hands and quickly realized it was the same one she had picked out in the boutique.


    Sophie was surprised and asked, "Didn''t Ms. Leticia take this one?"


    She had heard it clear as day in the changing room; Leticia had imed this gown, and Odie had even paid for it.


    "Who said there was only one? Are you going to wear it or what? Why all the questions?"


    She looked at the expensive gown and quickly took it. "I''ll wear it. If you''re offering it, I''ll definitely wear it."


    Once Sophie took the gown, Odie finally remained silent. He turned and left the lounge, and Wayne thoughtfully closed the door behind


    him.


    Momentster, Sophie stepped out of the lounge dressed in the gown, and Odiemented, "Not bad, you will perform in that tonight." As soon as he finished speaking, Sophie noticed the grand piano on the second floor. It was the very piano she had picked out today.


    Sophie was startled.


    Odie said, "Go y something for me."


    "Okay"


    Sophie agreed and sat down at the piano.

    Sophie stared at Sandra, paused for a moment, and then began to y the piece from the sheet music.
