Female Novel
Chapter 1072
It was a call from Jasmine. Logan didn’t avoid her either, taking the call right away. On the other end,Jasmine asked him out for dinner, her voice cheerful. Logically speaking, it stood to reason for them tohave dinner tonight. After all, Logan gave her flowers at noon, so it was standard operation for a normalcouple to have a date at night. However, since she’d waited for his phone call the entire day to no avail,she could only take the initiative to phone him.
Logan’s brows unconsciously furrowed. “Tonight? I don’t think I can make it since I’m otherwiseoccupied.”
Jasmine paused for a heartbeat. “With a very urgent matter?”
Logan grunted, “Yes. It’s a very urgent matter, so I can’t make it tonight.”
Actually, it was rather obvious that Jasmine was a touch disappointed. Sighing lightly, she replied,“Never mind, then. I’ll leave you to it. We’ve got plenty of time, so we’ll just go out another time.”
Without saying anything superfluous, Logan hung up in short order.
Lola stole a glance at him out of the corner of her eye. Although there wasn’t a hint of guilt in hisexpression, she felt very much ill at ease. For some reason, she felt perturbed that he declined hisgirlfriend’s dinner invitation to have dinner with her instead. It feels as though I’m doing somethingwrong here.
At long last, Logan’s car came to a stop in front of a private restaurant. The two of them enteredtogether and went to a private room. After he’d ordered and the server had gone out, he turned his
gaze on her.
His expression was exceedingly solemn, making Lola feel unsettled all of a sudden. Thus, she blurted,“What exactly is the matter? Say something. What’s the meaning of you staring at me so intently?”
Logan pursed his lips, his words seemingly stuck in his throat. At this, Lola guffawed. “What is it thatyou’d be reluctant to say?” novelbin
Sighing soundlessly, Logan then briefly relayed everything John told him today. Lola instantlyunderstood his meaning. “You want me to masquerade as Sophia during the latter half,” she reckoned.
Logan grunted in affirmation. “I know this is quite a risk, so I’m merely asking. If you oppose—”
“I don’t mind,” Lola agreed right away. She was a person who abhorred evil in nature, and her formerprofession was even more dangerous than this, yet she’d never once been afraid.
However, there was something she just couldn’t figure out. “Why is the Bailey Family targeting MissGwendolyn?”
It was a tad troublesome for Logan to explain this since John kept the matters regarding the BaileyFamily under wraps during the meal they previously had. Thus, he really didn’t know how to explaineverything about the Baileys now. Frowning, he considered for a while before demurring, “I’ll explaineverything to you when the matter is resolved. At present, it’s just suspicion, so we’re not all thatcertain yet.”
Lola stared at him for a good while before nodding. “Alright, I trust you.”
It was rare that she demonstrated trust in him, but Logan couldn’t muster up a shred of elation. Hemerely pressed his lips together tightly and gave her a half-smile.
Thereafter, the food was served. While eating, neither spoke much. Lola merely asked him what sheneeded to prepare for the birthday celebration in the very beginning. However, Logan wasn’t sure aboutthe details either, so he suggested meeting up with John some time to discuss the matter. They onlyexchanged a few words throughout the meal, so the rest of the time was spent in silence.
During the meal, Jasmine sent Logan a message—a selfie of her eating out.
