Female Novel
Chapter 1040
Lola was shocked when she saw Logan standing next to his car and smoking. In a disdainful tone, sheasked, “Why are you here again?”
Logan immediately put out his cigarette. “Get into the car. Let’s go get breakfast.”
However, Lola narrowed her eyes and stared at him. “Are you alright? Did you get food poisoning fromyesterday or something? Why won’t you get yourself checked out at the hospital?”
Still, Logan was in a good mood, so he didn’t want to argue with her. “Just get in the car.”
Right then, Lola stared at Logan and contemplated for a moment before finally entering his car. WhenLogan started driving, Lola asked, “Why are you here again? Didn’t you just come over yesterday?Your odd behavior is really scary right now.”
However, Logan had already prepared an excuse. “I just wanted to ask about the shadow bank’sprogress. Did you manage to reach an agreement after the discussion with John previously?” novelbin
Although Lola and John did discuss many things previously, she could vaguely feel that John was stillhiding something from her, but she didn’t know if it was because he didn’t trust her or he just didn’twant to tell her about it.
Right then, Lola asked, “Are you here to snoop around? Can’t you just ask John instead? Aren’t youtwo pretty close?”
Then, Logan grasped onto the first part of what she said and retorted, “How could you excuse me for
snooping around when I was the one mediating between you two?”
Before Lola could say anything, Logan continued again, “I haven’t seen John because he had beenbusy recently, so I was thinking that it doesn’t matter who I ask between you two.” Then, he went on,“Have you guys established a goal yet? Like, when will you guys capture everyone working for theshadow bank and end it once and for all? Also, is it possible to lure out the main perpetrator behindthis?”
Lola couldn’t tell for sure, but her intuition told her that there was one powerful mastermind behindeverything. However, from what John told her, she could sense that he was trying to say that theshadow bank involved many investors and there wasn’t anyone calling the shots. Therefore, they wouldbe able to end the shadow bank once they managed to capture everyone.
Lola briefly summarized everything for Logan while he drove them to a breakfast spot. The two of thementered the shop upon arrival.
To be honest, Logan rarely had breakfast outside. To be more concise, he rarely ate breakfast. Loganwas different from many in the sense that he was always sleeping when others were having theirbreakfast, while Lola on the other hand, had a good sleep schedule. After settling down, Lola greetedthe breakfast place’s owner and ordered some buns and milk, along with two sets of toast and sunny-side up.
The owner of the place obviously knew Lola as he served them cheerfully and greeted her as OfficerLola. However, Lola suddenly looked shy. “I’m not an officer anymore, so you shouldn’t call me that.”
Still, the owner placed their breakfast on their table and exclaimed, “What’s wrong with it? Althoughyou’re not an officer anymore, you still helped us out. Uniform or not, it doesn’t really matter. Moreover,
I’m already used to calling you that.”
Logan glanced at Lola from the side. He never knew that Lola was so popular.
After the owner left, Lola explained, “Remember when a customer was robbed, and I went out after thesnatch thief? It happened here.”
Logan finally caught onto what Lola was saying a while later. Sometime back then, Lola chased after amotorcyclist gang to snatch a bag back and ended up sustaining injuries.
Logan chuckled right then as his face remained indifferent. “I should just address you as JusticeWoman Hunt in the future.”
