But remembering Mr. Odie's instructions, Gattlin managed to hold back his frustration and said to the maid behind him, "Change it!"
"Yes, sir."
The maid left and soon returned with a steak.
Sophie merely poked at it with her knife and fork before disinterestedly commenting, "Too greasy. Where did you find the chef? How can Mr. Odie surround himself with such inferior cooks and ingredients? Change it."
Barely containing his anger, Gattlin commanded the maid, "Well? Change it!"
"Ms. Sophie, this is a prime tuna steak."
"Tuna is too rich for me. Are you trying to make me sick?"
"This is French-style baked escargot."
"I don't eat bugs."
"Sautéed mixed vegetables."
"Too plain."
Finally, the maid presented a seared lamb shank before Sophie.
Sophie raised an eyebrow and said, "Too fatty, and I don't eat lamb."
Sophie was nitpicking, and this time, Gattlin was not so accommodating. "Ms. Sophie, if you're not going to cooperate, I will have no choice but to report this to Mr. Odie!"
"Go ahead. At worst, I'll just go hungry. It's not like I'll starve to death. At most, I'll just recover more slowly. It doesn't bother me."
Sophie's defeatist attitude infuriated Gattlin.
Sophie had anticipated this. No matter how much she protested, Gattlin wouldn't dare do anything to her. Mr. Odie usually took his afternoon nap at this time, and no one was allowed to disturb him.

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....
