Female Novel
Chapter 1017
Surprised by the reply, Lola raised an eyebrow.
John didn’t know that Lola was waiting for him this evening. He intended to come over to tell Loganabout the information Isabelle had shared with him and discuss their next move.
However, he didn’t think he should share this information with Lola because the more she knew, theharder it was for him to destroy the Baileys, even though he was hesitating whether he wanted to dothis. Considering Isabelle to be a friend, he didn’t really want the Baileys to end up in a miserable state.
In a polite manner, John nodded and said, “Hi.”
After they were seated, the atmosphere was rather awkward because Logan wasn’t there. It was untilthen did Lola realize that she shouldn’t have let Logan go.
Strictly speaking, she and John were not close friends, and the information he had gathered wasconfidential, so it wasn’t probable that he would share this information with her. Hence, there wasnothing much they could talk about currently.
Pursing her lips, she had a feeling that her meeting with John on this day wouldn’t be fruitful.
As expected, John only mentioned what happened when the shadow bank was busted and neverrevealed any useful information. When he finished talking, he came up with an excuse that since hiswife was pregnant, he had to go home early so that she wouldn’t worry about him.
In fact, this excuse wasn’t made up because his wife was indeed pregnant.
Nevertheless, Lola already expected that this would be the outcome, so she just nodded and said,“Alright. It’s getting late. I have to leave as well.”
Following that, they stepped out of the clubhouse together. John had wanted to send her home, but sherefused his offer because she was going somewhere else.
Since she had said so, John nodded and turned to leave. novelbin
After John’s car was out of sight, Lola gave it a thought and headed for the nearest shopping mall.Then, she arrived somewhere near the theater in the mall and recalled that Logan was watching amovie with his girlfriend here.
Perhaps she was trying to embarrass Logan, hence she reached for the theater, even though shewasn’t even sure why she was doing this. However, the movie had already started.
Lola took a look at the time and deduced that the movie should be ending soon because Logan had leftthe clubhouse for a long time. Then, she went to buy some snacks and kept walking around.
Thirty minutes later, she was proven right as Logan and a woman were coming out of the theater.
With a snort, Lola walked over and said, “Logan, what a coincidence.”
Unlike other couples, Logan and the woman were some distance away as they were walking.
Seeing Lola, he was startled. As though he had forgotten that his girlfriend was just beside him, hestrode toward Lola and asked, “Why are you here? Aren’t you supposed to be having a discussion with
John at the clubhouse?”
Hearing this, Lola couldn’t contain her urge and landed a slap on his shoulder. “I’m glad you asked!John and I were not close, so how were we even going to talk about such a serious issue? You—”
Before she could finish her words, Jasmine Xanthos came over and interrupted with a smile, “Logan, isshe your friend? Please introduce her to me.”
Then, Lola turned to look at the woman beside Logan. The woman appeared to be young, and hersmile was infectious. She seems like a really nice girl.
