Sophie plopped down on the sofa, not a care in the world, and casually opened a bottle of red wine. "My clothes are soaked. I need a new outfit."

"You ruined a perfectly good outfit?" Odie asked, incredulous.

"Nope. I just took a bath with my clothes on."

Odie, ready to ask another question, turned around only to see Sophie making herself right at home. He frowned deeply, struggling to comprehend. "Are you even a lady?" "Absolutely, one hundred percent genuine," Sophie replied without missing a beat.

Sizing Odie up, she shot back, "You have the nerve to watch someone take a bath, and you're questioning if I'm embarrassed?"

Odie, momentarily stunned by her retort, swallowed his frustration and called out, "Jonah! Get Mrs. Costello a change of clothes."

"Make it something casual," Sophie added.

Odie couldn't help but laugh, though clearly annoyed. "You're still making demands? Do you even know how expensive those clothes you soaked were?"

Sophie grinned mischievously. "Come on, Mr. Odie, like you're ever short on cash, right?"

Choosing not to argue, Odie turned to the door as Jonah knocked. "Boss, the clothes are ready."
