"I have to go now, Mr. Odie, Ms. Sophie," Booker said as he turned and left the hotel.

Odie approached Sophie, his tone suggestive. "You and him..."

"What do you think our relationship is?"

"I don't care about that. Don't think you can run away from here."

"Why would I?" Sophie retorted. "If I wanted to escape, I would have done so last night. Why wait until now?"

"Don't play dumb with me. You're not running because you know you can't escape."

As Sophie stared at Odie, the smile on her face slowly faded away. It seemed Odie had put the pieces together, quickly understanding why she had returned to him that night.

Odie raised an eyebrow. "Don't be so nervous. As long as you're aware of your situation, regardless of your reason for coming back, I'll accept it."

"I don't know what's so special about me that you're so infatuated. Could it be... Mr. Odie, are you interested in me?" Sophie's eyes curved into crescents as she smiled, a sly look in her gaze. Odie reached out and pinched Sophie's chin, examining her face. "Such a beautiful face, but with such a narcissistic mind."

After letting go, Odie said indifferently, "Come to my room tonight. I have something to discuss with you privately."

Sophie instantly became wary at the prospect of meeting Odie alone at night. But by the time she snapped out of it, Odie had already turned and entered the elevator.

"Ms. Sophie, this is what Mr. Odie asked for." A nearby waiter placed a box in Sophie's hands and then smiled shyly.

Sophie frowned, looking down to replace a box of birth control pills in her hands.

Her eyes widened. Odie... what on earth did he need birth control pills for?

Sophie quickly called the waiter back to confirm. "Are you sure this is what Mr. Odie asked for?"

"Yes, Mr. Odie personally instructed us to deliver it."

Sophie was shocked. She had thought Odie was not so shallow. Now, she regretted that assumption.

Not only was Odie shallow, but he was also a pervert!

With no one around, Sophie threw the birth control pills into the trash can and then approached the front desk "Could I use your phone, please?"

The receptionist nodded and pushed the phone toward Sophie.

After hesitating, Sophie finally said, "Could I borrow your cell phone instead?"

"Of course, Ms. Sophie." The receptionist handed her cell phone to Sophie.

Sophie quickly dialed Colby's number, the only one she could remember from all of his numbers.

The phone was answered almost immediately, Colby's voice tired but recognizable. "Hello?"

"It's me." As Sophie spoke those two words, a wave of emotion overcame her.
