"Let''s just go. I don''t believe Odie can do anything to Colby anyway."


    Having someone else cover the expenses is way more practical than staying in a hospital.


    Sophie said, "Tell your boss we got the message, and ask him to send a car for us."


    "The car''s been waiting outside for a while now. Our boss figured Ms. Sophie would agree, so he had it prepared in advance to save time."


    "Your boss sure thinks ahead."


    "He has to."


    After all, Odie had been outmaneuvered by Sophie too many times and had learned his lesson.


    Soon, Sophie helped Colby up from the hospital bed. At that moment, a few men in whiteb coats, Odie''s guys, quickly rushed forward to help Colby. They approached Sophie with sheepish smiles, saying, "Ms. Sophie, let us help!"


    They were about to support Colby, one in front and one behind, but before they could touch him, Colby shot them a cold re.


    The two men awkwardly smiled and withdrew their hands.


    Sophie sighed and supported Colby out of the hospital room, saying, "Why turn down free help?"


    "I don''t like other people touching me."


    "Fine, you don''t like other people touching you. How about I do it? Is that okay?"


    "Only you can."


    Colby was dead serious.


    Sophie justughed.


    Meanwhile, at the Minton estate...


    Odie was sitting in his study, looking out at the yard below, feeling inexplicably irritated. "Have they arrived yet? What''s taking so long?" "Boss, our guys just left; they can''t have gotten there that fast."


    Just then, the sound of a car engine came from below.


    Sophie and Colby got out of the car, and upon seeing this, Odie returned to his desk chair.


    Seeing this, Jonah was startled and asked, "Boss, aren''t they here?"


    "They''re here, so what? Do I have to go down personally to greet them? How important do they think they are?"


    "


    Jonah was embarrassed.


    It was unclear who had been impatiently standing at the window just moments ago.


    Downstairs, Polly was cleaning the living room when she looked up to see Sophie supporting Colby walking in.


    Polly approached them and said,


    "Ms. Sophie, Mr. Colby, the


    rooms have been prepared


    both. Please, follow meet


    Sophie nodded and then supported Colby as they headed upstairs.


    Polly pointed to two guest rooms opposite each other, saying, "Both rooms have been prepared for you. Please, rest early."


    "Wait, we''re a married couple. Why would we need two rooms?"


    "Oh, that... It was the boss''s


    arrangement. He said Mr. Colby has serious injuries and should rest


    properly. It wouldn''t be convenient for you to stay in the same room, so"


    "You don''t need to worry about that on your boss''s behalf. We''re fine sharing a room."


    With that, Sophie turned to Colby, asking, "Right, Colby?"


    "Yes."


    Colby nodded, and Sophie told Polly, "You don''t need to report back to your boss. We''re quite tired and will rest now."


    Saying so, Sophie led Colby directly into the guest room. Seeing this, Polly couldn''t help but look troubled.


    How was she going to exin this to Odie?


    After all, it''s only natural for a


    married couple to share a room. Odie, on the other hand, just had to<pplicate things by arranging two rooms. Wasn''t that making things unnecessarilyplicated? This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.
