Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 695

"Why?"

"Can't you see, Mr. Odie? This subordinate of yours has hostility towards me. I'm afraid he might take me out when you're not looking."

"Jonah is not that kind of person. He only takes orders from me."

"I don't care. I want you, Mr. Odie, to take me."

Sophie was clearly being petulant. Odie raised an eyebrow and said, "You want me to personally escort you? You certainly think highly of yourself."

"Just take me, will you? With you by my side, I won't be afraid of anyone trying to harm me."

Sophie's words were a clear dig at Jonah.

Jonah, standing by the door, frowned upon hearing this.

As if possessed, Odie nodded and said, "I suppose I can take you. It's not impossible."

Sophie's eyes lit up immediately, but in the next moment, Odie said, "But this would waste my time. After the mess you've caused today, who will take care of my wine cellar? Who will clean up?"

"Mr. Odie, you must be joking. There are so many servants in your house."

"Servants need to be paid extra."

The implication in Odie's words couldn't be clearer.

Sophie could only force a smile and said, "I'll do it. I'll clean up for you."

"If you can clean it up in one night, I'll agree. If you can't..."

"I can clean it up. I'll start right now."

The wine cellar was in disarray, with barrels scattered all over the floor. Sophie was in a difficult position but had no choice but to get to work.

Jonah stood not far away, watching Sophie work hard. He said coldly, "I warn you, no matter what you're planning, stay away from the boss. If I find you taking any action against the boss, I will not hesitate to take you out."

"Ah, I really don't know where I've offended you, Jonah. But truly, I have no intentions against Odie." Sophie mopped the floor while saying, "Besides, with you and I by Odie's side, I doubt even Colby would be able to hurt him, right?"

Jonah gave Sophie a cold glance and said, "I hope that's true."

Sophie, noticing Jonah's continuous stare, had a sudden idea and said, "You watching me work makes me really uncomfortable. How about... you help me by getting some detergent from upstairs?"

"The boss told me to keep an eye on you. You better not try any tricks."

"I really won't play any tricks. Think about it: I only have one night. I don't have time for tricks, right?"

Jonah was silent for a moment before saying, "Wait here."
