Chapter 723
“She’s gone. Odle raised an eyebrow and said, “What? Scared?”
“Of course I’m scared. Mr. Odie, if Ms. Leticia finds out about your mistress, I doubt you’d be able to explain yourself.”
“My mistress? You mean you?”
“Isn’t it the case?”
Sophie looked down at herself and said, “Or is Ms. Leticia prettier than I am?”
Odie sized Sophie up and said indifferently, “Your waist is slimmer than hers, your face more refined, but the mischief in your eyes… that’s a bit more.”
“Thanks for the compliment, Mr. Odie.”
“I wasn’t complimenting you.”
Odie turned away, ignoring Sophie, and said, “You have five minutes, then
Odie walked downstairs. Jonah and Sophie closely followed Sophie.

“Mr. Odie, didn’t you promise Ms. Leticia that you’d make Sophie leave?” Jonah frowned.
“I was just talking. Did you take it seriously?”
It was just a trick to appease Leticia; how could he give up such a valuable piece just because of a word from Leticia?
“Yes… Mr. Odie.”
Sophie, trailing behind the two men, heard their conversation and stepped forward, “Were you two just talking badly about me?”
“Yes, we said you’re ugly and narcissistic. Happy now?”
Odie couldn’t care less about Sophie and quickened his pace, forcing Sophie to hurry to keep up.
In the car, Odie remained silent. Sophie broke the silence, “It’s not even evening, Mr. Odie. Why did you call me out?”
Odie stayed quiet, and Sophie continued, “If you’re taking me out, at least tell me where we’re going.”
“To the mall. Keep quiet.”
Sophie frowned. Why are they going to the mall all of a sudden?
“We’re here, boss.”
“Mm.”
As Odie got out of the car, Sophie was about to open the door herself, but Odie opened it for her, leaving her slightly surprised.
“What are you looking at? Aren’t you getting out?”
“Oh…”
Sophie stepped out of the car, looking at the mall with some doubt. “Mr. Odie, you’re not thinking of… taking me shopping, are you?”
“Me, take you shopping? You wish.”
Before Odie could finish, a group of people hurried over from a distance.
“Mr Odie!” The manager approached, saying, “The items you wanted to view are all ready. We’re just waiting for you to pick them out personally.”
“Mm.”
Odie told Sophie to follow him.
Sophie was puzzled. What items did Odie need to see personally?
The manager led them to the largest piano store, filled with rare pianos not commonly seen in the market, clearly crafted by master
artisans.
“Pick out the best one among these pianos.”
Odie sat down on a sofa in the store while Sophie pointed at all the pianos and asked, “All of these… are for me to choose?”
Sophie looked at the pianos, unable to make a choice on the spot.
These pianos were priceless and wouldn’t normally be displayed in a store. They were likely flown in specially for this occasion.
“Can’t decide?”
“Is it for me?”
