Polly came in with a glass of water and said, "Ms. Sophie, you fainted in the wine cellar. Boss had to carry you in here to rest."
Sophie gulped down the water before she finally felt her throat moisten. She was able to speak normally again.
She looked up to see Odie standing across from her, wearing only a loose robe. His hair was a bit messy, and he had faint dark circles under his eyes, looking fatigued.
"Sophie, you really outdid yourself," Odie said coldly. "I asked you to do some cleaning, and you fainted in the wine cellar, making such a racket in the middle of the night. How's anyone supposed to sleep?"
Sophie retorted, "I... I was trying to clean properly. It was that ice-cold employee of yours. He scared me! I wasn't bothering anyone, so why did you let him bully me?"
Odie's expression darkened. "I let him bully you?"
"If not you, why would he want to kill me?"
As Sophie spoke, she rolled up her sleeve, revealing several bruises under her white blouse. "Even if he didn't scare me to death, he could have strangled me!"
Seeing the bruises on Sophie's arm, Odie frowned slightly.
"Ms. Sophie, you misunderstood. Boss didn't want to kill you. This was all Jonah acting on his own. Boss has already reprimanded Jonah and even had us prepare lots of food to replenish your strength..." Polly said.
"Who asked you to talk? Get out!"
Odie's face darkened, and Polly, frightened, quickly left the room.
Hearing this, Sophie noticed the snacks and small dishes on a table nearby.
"Did... you have someone prepare all this?"
