FreeNovelChapter 734 The tension was palpable, and the onlookers dared not even breathe too loudly.
All eyes turned to Odie, curious about his reaction. This was indeed a crisis in the making, and given Leticia's temperament, she was sure to escalate the situation if it was mishandled.
As expected, Odie's expression had turned icy, and Leticia noticed the change in his demeanor. Over the years, she had seen Odie wear many expressions, yet she had never seen him show anger in front of her.. Subconsciously, Leticia took a step back as Odie coldly said, "Jonah, did you not hearclearly?" "Yes, boss." Leticia had no intention of leaving, so Jonah directly ordered his men to pressure her.

Leticia was the most distinguished lady of Summerfield, and aside from Odie, no one had ever publicly disrespected her. Everyone was now curious about the identity of the woman by Odie's side.
"Carry on playing." With those indifferent words, Odie then turned and headed back to the private room.
"Boss, why did you let Ms. Leticia go just like that? What if she causes trouble?" "Have someone keep an eye on her." After speaking, Odie, feeling somewhat irritated, tugged at his tie. For sreason, he had felt unusually hot and bothered.
Noticing Odie's discomfort, Jonah frowned and asked, "Boss, what's wrong?" "I just feel really hot." "Hot?" Jonah frowned, immediately stepping forward to open the window of the private room. The cool night air wafted in, but Odie felt no relief.
The next moment, Odie stood up restlessly and said to Jonah, "Go to the third floor." "Yes." Jonah whispered something to Wayne at the door, who nodded repeatedly and assured him. "Don't worry, boss. I'll handle it!" Then, Wayne quickly left.
Sophie, playing the piano on the second floor, quickly sensed the anomaly. Why did Odie have Jonah secretly summon Wayne? Sophie's gaze followed Wayne, and sure enough, she saw Wayne heading up to the third floor again.
Just as Sophie was playing the piano mechanically, footsteps suddenly approached from behind. "Keep playing."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOdie's light words hit Sophie's ears, sending a shiver through her. She quickly focused intent on the piano, fearing Odie might notice something amiss. Odie seemed not to pay her much attention, briskly walking past the piano toward the elevator.
Sophie frowned.
Why was Odie also going up?
When Odie had brought her here yesterday, he hadn't gone upstains. There must've been something going on.
Just as she saw Odie enter the elevator, Sophie deliberately played a wrong note, then winced, clutching her hand as itin pain. A nearby waiter, worried Sophie might be hurt, quickly approached and asked, "Ms. Sophie, are you alright? Do you need a doctor?" "No, it's an old issue. I can't play the piano for too long. I'm just going to the restroom." 1/1 X
