Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Odie couldn't believe his ears when he heard Sophie doubting his intelligence. He shot back immediately, "Of course, I noticed! Sophie, quit trying to pull one over on me!" "So, Mr. Odie, you did notice. But when I saw you didn't kick Sandy and Kiran out, despite their ruckus, I thought maybe you were either unaware or afraid of Kiran's clout."

"I didn't send them away out of kindness! If they weren't your friends, I'd have booted them out straight away!"

Seeing Sophie fail to appreciate his patience, Odie angrily turned to leave. Sophie quickly grabbed his arm, pleading, "Mr. Odie, please don't be mad. I was just thoughtless. Can't an apology make it right?" "What? Now you think an apology will do? Let me tell you, I don't accept your apology."

With that, Odie shook off Sophie's grasp. However, he soon realized something, "Sophie, you don't just apologize to me out of the blue. Is there something you need from me?"

"There is a small matter..."

"I don't want to hear it."

Odie covered his ears, his face darkening as he said, "Sophie, you never come to me unless you want something. Let me remind you, letting you and Colby stay and recuperate at the Minton estate was already a big favor. Don't push your luck!"

"Mr. Odie, don't be so harsh."

Odie's expression darkened instantly.
