Chapter 1228
Logan burst into laughter before comforting her. “Don’t you worry. I am definitely the lowliest among myfamily. Haven’t you just bought yourself a pet fish some time ago? I dare say that even the fish wouldbe of a higher status than me.”
Chuckling, Lola gave him a pinch on his waist before falling silent. After some time, Logan got anothercall from the clubhouse to inform him that their meal had arrived downstairs. Logan informed them ofthe unit number, and within a minute, there came a knock on the door.
Logan hurriedly went to take it, and Lola was surprised by the amount of food that he ordered. Withmultiple bags in their hands, four men were seen standing by the door, delivering the food to them. Lolahad to admit that it was a feat in itself when she walked up to check on them.
All of a sudden, she felt like she had sinned upon laying eyes on the sheer amount of food despitehaving no knowledge of it while Logan was ordering them over the phone. It would be a waste if wecan’t finish the food, she thought to herself.
Meanwhile, the four men greeted Lola in unison as soon as they saw her. “Good evening, Mrs.Jefferson.”
Lola wasn’t the only one caught off guard by their address, as Logan was the same, which led to himfeigning anger while motioning to kick the rascals who came up with the idea. “You scared mygirlfriend, you rascals!”
The four attendants who delivered the meal burst into laughter as soon as Logan said so. After that,they took everything into the house, even placing them on the table considerately. The food filled up the
entire table, so instead of a meal, it felt more like they were setting up for a banquet. As soon as theywere done setting the table, the attendants snuck up to Logan’s side before one of them retrieved abottle of wine that he handed to Logan. “We also made sure to bring this with us.”
Bewildered, Logan took the wine from them before laughing out loud. He gave the attendant thatpresented the wine a pat on the shoulder before praising him. “You guys sure are thoughtful.”
The man chuckled before saying, “Alright, you should take your time to savor the meal. We will beleaving now.” When Lola returned from the kitchen with some dining utensils in her hands, the menwere all gone.
Logan gave the bottle of wine he held a good shake before letting out a chuckle. Meanwhile, Lolamerely glanced at it without giving much thought, only to retrieve two wine glasses from the kitchenafter some hesitation. As soon as Logan saw the glasses, he furrowed his brows. “I never knew youhave wine glasses in your house! Who did you drink with?”
Smiling, Lola sat down by the table. “I once went to a rather gruesome crime scene while on duty, andfor a week’s time after that, I could hardly sleep, so I bought some red wine that I downed beforesleeping. I drank alone, and I bought the glasses from a mall, which were sold in pairs.”
Logan nodded. “Fair enough.” novelbin
Since Lola had a corkscrew in her house as well, Logan uncorked the wine before pouring a glass ofwine for each of them. The wine was probably taken from the clubhouse, but they didn’t have adecanter, so they left the wine in the glass for the time being while they proceeded to enjoy their food.
Lola was utterly famished, so she dug in without even sparing the time to chat with Logan. After a
while, Logan raised his wine glass before swaying it in front of Lola, who didn’t seem to care muchabout etiquette as she quickly clinked her glass with Logan’s. Then, she downed the wine in one go.
Although she seldom drank, she drank a lot whenever she did. However, Logan didn’t remind her toslow down, merely filling up her glass again with a smile. Lola didn’t even glance his way while shecontinued eating. Throughout the meal, Logan clinked his glass with hers multiple times, and shedowned her wine every time he did so. Lola didn’t actually know how well she could hold her liquor, asshe seldom drank in order to remain alert at all times.
