After her apology, Sophie gathered her composure and spoke up.

Sophie: "I have more things to manage, Mr. De Luca. Should I go?"

Leo: "Yeah, it's your job. That's why you're here, dumb."

Sophie bit back a retort, nodding instead. She knew she had to stay calm and focused, using every opportunity to gather information and plan her escape.

As Sophie walked away, she couldn't help but mutter under her breath, whispering insults and mocking Leo. It was a small act of rebellion, but it gave her a sense of satisfaction.

Sophie: (whispering) "Arrogant jerk... thinks he can control everything..."

Leo, already busy with his tasks, didn't hear her. Sophie felt a small victory, knowing that while he might have power over her now, she still had her spirit and determination.

Sophie continued her tasks, still whispering defiant remarks under her breath. The next day, she was called back to Leo's office.

Leo: "We have a new assignment. You're to manage the inventory for an incoming shipment."

Sophie: "Understood."

She spent hours meticulously going through the inventory, ensuring everything was accounted for. Each item represented a piece of Leo's power, and Sophie noted every detail, planning to use this information to her advantage.

As she finished, she whispered to herself, "One day, all this will be mine. And I'll make him pay."

As Sophie worked, she felt a sudden presence behind her.   

Leo: "I just need 2 dollars to open my storage." touch her shoulder.

Sophie felt a mix of confusion and unease. She couldn't understand why Leo would do something so strange, but she knew better than to question him directly. She handed him the money, her mind racing with thoughts of how to escape this increasingly unsettling situation.

Sophie: (thinking) "I have to find a way out of here. This isn't just about power anymore—it's about my safety."

Leo's hand still in her pocket, he sneered at Sophie.

Leo: "Don't get any ideas. You're not my type, and I don't make poor people my servants. You're just here on my mercy."

Sophie's heart raced with a mix of anger and determination. She knew she had to keep her cool, but Leo's arrogance only fueled her resolve.

Sophie: (thinking) "I won't be under your mercy for long, Leo. I'll find a way out."

She gave him a curt nod, hiding her true feelings behind a mask of compliance. The battle of wills continued, but Sophie knew she had to be patient and smart to turn the tables on Leo.

Leo sneered as he handed Sophie the money.

Leo: "That's your 200 dollars, because I don't carry change like a poor person."

He rolled his eyes and turned to his assistant.

Leo: "Assistant, get the things from my storage. Make sure Sophie recorded everything accurately."

Sophie felt a mix of anger and determination. She knew she had to play along, but every moment brought her closer to her goal.

Sophie: (thinking) "I'll use every bit of information I gather to bring him down."
