"I'm not one to waste food." Odie's simple statement hit Sophie directly.
Sophie, unfazed, responded, "Good, neither am I."
"What would you like for dinner tonight? Steak, pasta, Japanese, or French cuisine?"
"Anything is fine with me. I'm not picky."
Sophie's attitude was strikingly different from how she had been at noon, causing Gattlin to comment cheekily, "Mr. Odie, she only starts playing nice in front of you! At lunch today, she..."
Before Gattlin could finish, Odie cut him off, "Enough with all this beating around the bush. What are you trying to tell me?"
"Mr. Odie, you're truly a smart man."
Gattlin, standing aside, was baffled by what was happening.
Didn't Mr. Odie call Sophie over to punish her? Why wasn't he angry at all?
With a smile, Sophie said, "I would like a cellphone."
Odie heard Sophie's request for a cellphone and paused. His hands, which were previously holding cutlery, froze.
Gattlin was shocked, thinking Sophie really had hit a wall, and said, "You are just a hostage, and you want a cellphone. Ms. Sophie, you must be joking, right?"
"I know you left my ring with James. No matter what you're planning, James will never believe I'm dead."
Sure enough, Odie's smile gradually faded.
Seeing this, Sophie immediately understood that the two mercenaries must have been dealt with. So, Odie had no idea what had happened in the jungle!
Sophie continued, "This was a live broadcast, watched by millions online. That gunshot shattered the camera lens, abruptly ending our broadcast. Viewers must be speculating about what happened to us, suspecting a terrorist encounter. With my disappearance and James’ injury, it won't be long before the police start looking into it. Mr. Odie, you might be in trouble then."
Hearing this, Odie glanced at Gattlin beside him.
Gattlin was completely unaware of the serious incident, quickly saying, "Mr. Odie, cellphones and electronic devices weren't allowed on the cruise ship, so..."
"This isn't entirely Gattlin's fault. I've been missing for forty-eight hours now, and I bet the whole internet is buzzing, asking about mine and James' whereabouts and guessing what exactly happened on that deserted island. If you don't believe me, Mr. Odie, you could always check on a cellphone."
