John expressed his gratitude while facing Lola, which she responded to with a smile. “I’m not onlydoing it for you, as I also wish to uncover the mastermind.”
After giving a nod, John reminded Lola that employers from other companies might also greet herduring the occasion. His request was that she remained calm if that happened, as he would do his bestto fend them off. Aside from that, he also told Lola to prioritize her own safety before everybody else’sin case of an emergency. Lola understood all of those, as she already ran through multiple possiblescenarios and their respective countermeasures during the past few days.
As soon as they were finished with the discussion, Sophia inquired Lola about her relationship with herboyfriend. Twirling his gaze, Logan stole a glance at Lola. With a smile on her face, she answered, “It’salright, and as normal as can be. We don’t really have a thrilling or romantic story to tell.” It was to beexpected as both Lola and her boyfriend were no longer young. In fact, they were way past that age.
What she said reminded Logan of the takeaway they ordered during their lunch date. It seemed toprove just how practical they were, all the while being painfully unromantic. Meanwhile, Sophia noddedbefore looking toward Logan. “Logan, how are things going with your girlfriend?”
Pulling her lips into a thin line, Lola made a point to not look at Logan while maintaining a seriousexpression.
“We broke up yesterday.” Logan spoke in such a nonchalant manner that it caught Sophia unawares. novelbin
On the other hand, John had a similar reaction. “Are you serious? Didn’t you just begin a relationshipwith her? Did you get into a fight with her?”
“Nah, nor were we capable of that.” Logan stretched himself out while leaning back in his chair. “It’s justthat I realized all of a sudden that I don’t harbor romantic feelings toward her, so I figured I shouldn’twaste her time.”
While Sophia was sniggering, John wore a much more serious expression as he questioned, “How didyou come to that conclusion all of a sudden? Don’t tell me you found someone you like, so youmanaged to figure things out by way of comparison?”
Although he didn’t answer John’s question, he turned his head slowly to glance at Lola. Despite the factthat Lola wasn’t looking at Logan directly, she had been paying close attention to him. Besides, Loganmade such an obvious move while turning his head, so she couldn’t possibly miss out on his reaction.Without reason, her heart skipped a beat before her face heated up.
Upon seeing Logan’s reaction, both Sophia and John knew better than to pry any further, as bothLogan and Lola would be embarrassed if they did that. With a nod, John agreed with Logan’s decision.“You made the right choice by telling her immediately to avoid wasting her time.”
They didn’t leave the study until it was time for dinner. Belinda seemed delighted to see Lola, all thewhile bombarding the latter with various questions that revolved around her boyfriend. On the otherhand, Lola was a little embarrassed as she didn’t know a lot about her boyfriend. Most information shehad she had gotten from the matchmaker, which she had yet to verify. Meanwhile, the man had paidher two visits, but neither lasted for a long time, so she didn’t get to know much about him.
Noticing that Lola wasn’t talking a heck of a lot about her boyfriend, Belinda nodded. “So it seems thatyou aren’t yet familiar with him. However, make sure to not rush things, as you must know more abouteach other before formally establishing a relationship.” Belinda lamented after that, “Blind dates these
days are much different from how they used to be. During our days, a blind date pretty much meant aunion, set in stone, but that doesn’t seem to be the case these days. Not only do the couples need tomeet each others’ expectations, but they also have to meet the other party in person to check out ifthey like each other’s physical appearance, or else the blind date will be deemed a failure.”
