"Yes, Ms. Sophie." Sophie hung up the phone with a click.

Since Elodie decided to mess with Colby, she shouldn't blame Sophie for playing hardball.

"What are you sneaking around in the kitchen for?"

Odie's voice suddenly broke the silence, making Sophie jump. She spun around to see him standing there. "Mr. Odie, do you always sneak up on people like that?"

"I just came to grab a bite. Who knew you'd be here on the phone?"

Odie walked into the kitchen, heading straight for the fridge and pulling out a pack of instant noodles. Sophie frowned at the sight.

"Don't you have a chef?"

Odie glanced at the clock on the wall. "It's late. The chef's long gone."

He gave Sophie a look that said she was clueless, then started opening the noodle packet. As he did, he noticed a white ceramic pot steaming on the counter, releasing a mouth-watering aroma. "What's this?" he asked, curiosity piqued.

"It's soup for Colby," Sophie replied, lifting the lid to reveal a simmering, milky white fish soup.
