Sophie took a deep breath.
She was worried, but she couldn't let it show too much. If she did, Odie's keen eyes would surely suspect something was up between her and Polly.
Trying to stay casual, Sophie remarked, "Going upstairs? What's the big deal?"
She started up the stairs. She had barely taken a few steps when a sharp slap echoed from below. Sophie's heart skipped a beat. She turned around to see Polly on the ground after being struck.
"Odie!" Sophie frowned deeply, her voice tinged with anger.
Odie shot a cold glance at her. "Get upstairs!"
His anger was even more intense than hers.
Polly quickly said, "It's all my fault! I’m willing to accept the punishment!"
When Sophie hesitated, Odie gestured to Jonah. "Escort her upstairs."
"Yes, boss."
"I can go up myself."
Sophie's smile had vanished. She turned and went upstairs without another word.
Odie then turned his attention to Polly, who was kneeling on the ground, trembling.
"Boss, she messed up your big plans. Should we deal with her?"
Normally, Odie would have demanded her life for such a mistake. But this time...
Odie seemed to have lost interest. "Dock a month's salary," he said in a deep voice.
"What?" Jonah thought he had misheard.
Odie glanced at him. "Didn't understand? Then forget about the punishment."
No punishment?

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.
