"Not a chance. Borrowed!"
Odie couldn't believe the audacity. It was the first time he’d seen someone demand help with such self-righteousness. Did he owe her something?
"You need help? Ask Colby. I’m not your guy," Odie shot back.
He spun on his heel and started towards the door, counting ten steps before noticing Sophie's reaction—or lack thereof. She wasn’t flustered, didn’t back down, and didn’t call after him.
Did she not know how to ask for a favor properly?
Suppressing his annoyance, Odie stopped, turned back, and grumbled, "Fine, I owe you. I'll get you the help."
Sophie’s smile was warm and grateful. "Thank you, Mr. Odie."
Odie felt a mix of emotions—partly feeling played, partly feeling that his own soft-heartedness had given her the upper hand. Watching Sophie head back to the Minton family’s living room in high spirits, he couldn't shake off the unease.
Just then, Jonah emerged from the shadows. "Boss..."
Odie, caught off guard, snapped, "When did you get here?"
"I've been here all along."
"Fine. Go get some people ready for Sophie and find out where that dinner is being held. Make sure our people keep a close eye on the place, especially the manager. I don't want any shady characters slipping in."
Jonah nodded. "We’ve already looked into the dinner venue and hit a snag."
"What snag?"
"The brand’s designer proposed a 'Mysterious Lady' theme. Every socialite attending has to wear a blindfold before getting into their cars, and the location is undisclosed. We can’t set up in advance."

Enjoying the story, to much victimising Sophie, they could at least try to target others. Hope at some point Sophie comes clean and forgives James and explain her view of loving the boy James was. Just so they both learn and move on. Really needs to be some consequences for the instigators instead of being let go. Sandy needs to see Vanessa is using her as a cover, and Sandy needs to wake up to herself, or be held responsible by her father for alienating the people she was supposed to make contact with. Hope the reporter brother is keeping an eye on what Vanessa and Odie are up to, and that he has he’s own justice in store. Hope he becomes like Reese a good partner. Hope James lives and finds he’s HEA. Need to put Nicole in prison , no release and several lifetimes , with all the evidence on the crimes she’s committed just to get her out of the way guilt free. More about what’s up with Gordon....
