Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 886

Hearing Odie’s voice, Sophie’s heart skipped a beat. If Odie walked in now, Logan was toast.

Outside the door, Jonah frowned. “Boss, I’ve got the key card. Why don’t we just go in?”

Odie ignored him and called out, “Sophie, I’m being pretty polite right now. Don’t make me break down the door.”

Sophie glanced at Logan, who already had his gun out. She quickly grabbed his hand to stop him from shooting and yelled, “Hold on! Just give me a minute!”

Her voice was frantic, and Odie could hear the tension. “What? Did you manage to hide a man in there already?”

Sophie’s heart raced at his accurate guess. “No! I’m taking a shower, and I’m not dressed!”

“A shower? With everything happening outside, you’re showering? Do you think I’m that dumb?” Odie’s voice dripped with impatience. “Hurry up, or I’m coming in.”

“Boss, don’t waste time. She’s been in there forever. Something’s definitely up!”

Jonah swiped the key card, opening the door to an empty room, except for the firmly shut bathroom door.

Sophie’s panicked voice came from inside. “Who said you could come in?”

Odie frowned. “Get out! All of you, out!”

Sophie’s voice was urgent. The bathroom door was tightly shut, and Odie took a few steps closer. “What are you doing in there?”

“What else was I supposed to do? Why don’t you ask about the drugs you’ve got at the banquet hall? I’m human. I react!”

“What drugs? What are you talking about?”

Odie’s question was reflexive, but he quickly realized she meant the stimulants used at the Mintons’ parties. The scent was so common he never considered Sophie’s reaction to it.

Sophie didn’t want him to enter just then and with her flushed face, Odie’s mind filled with scenarios.

Just then, the bathroom door swung open. Sophie stood there wrapped in a towel, her long legs catching his eye.

Odie quickly turned away. “Sophie, coming out in just a towel? Are you waiting for someone to take advantage of you?”
