Female Novel
Chapter 1175
After thanking him, John and Sophia slowly walked toward the office. When they were almost there,they simultaneously softened their steps, both harboring some diabolical intentions.
Meanwhile, Lola was indeed in the office with Logan, who was still beleaguered by the incident on theprevious day. While she was reviewing performance appraisal forms, he continued condemning ‘thatold geezer’ from the Bailey Family, saying that ‘the old coot’ lost his grandson because he never didany good. Then, he also claimed that the fact that ‘the old coot’ had committed every imaginable evilaccounted for the many flaws in his son’s depraved plan. In short, he enumerated all of themisfortunates that had befallen the Baileys recently, linking everything to Elder Mr. Bailey’s egregiouscharacter and insisting that it was all his fault that the entire Bailey Family collapsed.
When Lola was done reviewing a form, she looked up at him in exasperation. “Can you just zip it? Whyare you wagging your tongue like a dog? I’m having a headache from your incessant prattling.”
His voice abruptly ceasing, Logan pursed his lips. “Don’t you think he’s incredibly vexing? Don’t youthink he deserves what he got? And don’t you think he should go to hell?”
At the end of her patience, Lola lifted a leg and kicked Logan who was across from her. “Stop talking.”He’s been prattling on from morning until now!
Logan stared at her. “You’re too violent. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll change my mind about you if you bullyme like this?”
What the hell?! Snatching up a folder, Lola swung it at him. “Behave! If you continue being sonauseating, I’ll kick you out!”
Logan snorted but said nothing else.
At the door, Sophia grinned. John, on the other hand, shook his head in mild disbelief. I’ve known himfor years, but I’ve never seen him behaving so shamelessly despite the infrequent contact between us.I’ve truly gotten a new understanding of him.
Upon seeing that the chatter inside had ceased, Sophia went over to the door and knocked on theglass door a few times.
When Lola caught sight of her upon lifting her head, she stood up at once. “You’re here?”
Sophia pushed open the door and walked in, slightly at a loss as to how she should couch her words. “Ididn’t know whether I should come in since I heard all those things Logan said at the door, but since I’mhere, I can’t just double back, no? So, I decided to come in and greet you.”
At the side, Logan’s face flushed in a rare moment of embarrassment. He’d never acted thisshamelessly toward someone else in front of John and Sophia, so he felt somewhat mortified. Twistinghis head to the side, he gave a light cough. “Well, what kind of behavior was that? Who’d eavesdrop onpeople’s conversations at the door?”
Sophia hurriedly went over to him and leaned close to his face. “You’re blushing, Logan! Ah, this isremarkable! Logan actually has some shame in him!” Her voice was a touch exaggerated.
Logan shot her a glare. “Sophia Gwendolyn, I’ve doted on you for nothing, you ungrateful wretch!” novelbin
Sophia roared with laughter. “I’ve always wondered how you’ll behave with a girl you fancy, and I’ve
now finally gotten to witness it!” She initially planned to stay at Lola’s place the entire afternoon, but sheknew she couldn’t be a third wheel since Logan was here. Hence, she then left with John after chattingwith Lola for a bit.
