Female Novel
Chapter 1122
Despite not knowing if it was true, Logan kept that in mind while he nodded. “Alright. I get what youmean, so you don’t have to worry.”
While watching Logan’s car drive off into the distance alongside John, Sophia let out a chuckle. “Youknow, I have a feeling that the two of them will start dating soon. My gut tells me that Miss Hunt fanciesLogan, too.”
Hugging her from behind, John caressed her belly. “You’re so concerned about their love life, but whatabout your husband?” novelbin
Coyly, Sophia let out a harrumph before chiding him. “Why should I when you’re having so much funwhile away from me? From what I gather, you had a meal with a female client a few days ago. Sheeven asked you out for a drink.”
Smiling, John asked, “Did Zack tell you that? Did he not tell you that I turned down her offer on thespot?”
Sophia arched her brow before replying, “Is that so? He didn’t tell me about any of that.”
Smiling, John remarked, “I suppose I should be cutting his pay.”
In the meantime, Lola sat beside Logan while he drove, but neither of them spoke throughout theirjourney due to the extremely awkward atmosphere between them. With the window lowered, Lolaturned to look out of it, whereas Logan was wearing a morose look on his face while pursing his lips. Itwasn’t until they arrived at Lola’s place that both of them got out of the car, with Logan intent onescorting her to her front door.
Lola was feeling uneasy about it, but another voice came through before she could turn Logan down.“Lola, you’re finally home. Were you working up until now?”
Startled by the sudden question, both Lola and Logan turned around, only to see Lola’s boyfriendcoming out from the corridor. His gaze shifted onto Logan when he asked, “Is he your colleague?”
Letting out a cry, Lola was feeling guilty all of a sudden. “No, he’s a friend of mine. We met up as wehad something to discuss today.”
With his hands in his pockets, Logan was wearing an even colder expression while stubbornly staringinto the eyes of that man. It was apparent that Logan was challenging the man, which the man frownedupon while staring back at Logan. “Oh, so he’s your friend.”
Humming, Lola wasn’t sure why she was feeling awkward about the situation. “Yeah. He’s a friend.”
The man smiled at Logan before extending his hand. “Hello, my name is Shawn Long.”
Lowering his gaze to look at Shawn’s hand, Logan gave him a perfunctory greeting instead of shakinghands with him. On the other hand, Lola was pouting while deep in thought before looking towardShawn. “Why are you here anyway?”
Shawn smiled before replying, “I happened to pass by, so I felt like dropping by for a visit, only to findthat you’re not in after knocking on your door. I figured you might be busy, so I waited for you out here.”
Feeling slightly abashed, Lola told him, “You should’ve given me a call. I would’ve returned sooner ifyou did.”
Shawn rested his hand on Lola’s shoulder before patting on it. “I don’t have much else to do, so I don’tmind waiting for a while.”
Staring at Shawn’s hand, Logan pursed his lips while his expression soured. In the meantime, Lolabacked away in slight trepidation. She was unsure of what to say, as nothing was in fact wrong with thesituation at hand.
