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?"

"Did... you have someone prepare all this?" "It was for my dog. I didn't plan on feeding you." "...Mr. Odie, I'm really hungry. Can we not joke right now?" She hadn't eaten all day, and perhaps it was the effect of the IV, but she woke up incredibly hungry.
Odie ignored her, pulled up a chair to sit across from Sophie, and said, "You can eat, but first answer my question." "Mr. Odie, ask away." "Jonah said you sent him to get you dish soap. You framed him." "I framed him? I..." Sophie was agitated and tried to get out of bed, but Odie instinctively moved forward to help, only to lean back in his chair when he saw Sophie couldn't get off the bed.

"Mr. Odie, I'm not as idle as you think." Sophie glanced at the snacks on the table and asked, "I've answered your questions. Can I eat now?" The content is on I novelenglish.net!
