Female Novel
Chapter 1244
Shawn stood in place, frustrated that his plan failed.
Lola couldn’t go back in if he didn’t leave. She didn’t take her keys with her, which meant she had toknock so Logan would open the door for her. Obviously, she couldn’t do that with Shawn here.
Shawn took a deep breath. “This is my last piece of advice for you, Lola. The Jeffersons are too muchfor you to take. He just sees you as a plaything. Once he gets tired of you, he’ll throw you away, andthat’s it for you.”
“You don’t have to tell me that,” she said impatiently. “You...” Before she could finish, Lola heard thedoor unlocking behind her, much to her shock. She quickly looked back and saw the door opened by afew inches. Since she was standing in the way, the door bumped into her and stopped opening. At thispoint, she had to let Logan out, so Lola sighed and got out of the way.
Logan pushed the door all the way through, and he looked flabbergasted. “So you were standingoutside? Did you forget your k—” He stopped after seeing Shawn, and his face fell.
Shawn’s heart skipped a beat when he saw Logan, for Logan was the one who got him demoted. He’dworked for so many years and was finally getting a promotion, but because of Logan, all his hard workwas for nothing. Since then, he hated Logan, and he also looked down on him. He’s only this powerfulbecause of his family, not him.
Lola explained languidly, “He came by to say hi.” She wasn’t worried Logan would take it the wrong
way.
Logan pursed his lips and hugged her. “Don’t just greet anyone who says hi to you. What if they’reevil?”
Unbidden, Lola grinned. “Alright, alright. I get it.”
They showed public affection, ignoring Shawn. Shawn was displeased, but all he could do was standthere quietly. After all, he couldn’t yell at Logan, or else that’d be the end of the line for him.
On the other hand, Logan didn’t care about him. Shawn wouldn’t dare do anything to him, so he wentback into the house with Lola without even sparing him a look. Lola kept quiet until the door wasclosed. Then, she laughed. “Did you see his face?”
Logan cupped her chin and gave her a kiss. “Why’d you see him alone? What did you two talk about?”
Lola wrapped her arms around him and leaned against his embrace. “He came to tell me that you’re ajerk, and that your clubhouse used to face frequent raids by the police. And because your family’s rich,you must’ve had a lot of flings. Plus, with your good looks, he concluded that you’re a playboy.” novelbin
Logan guffawed. He knew Shawn must have said it worse without even guessing, then he pinched hercheek. “Oh, you.” Now that he wasn’t sleepy anymore, he and Lola went to the sofa. Lynett’s birthdaybanquet would be held on the next day, so they’d have to attend it at the Jefferson Mansion. Sincenobody else would be there, they didn’t have to prepare much. Thus, Logan told Lola to attend itwithout any worries. “I’d skip out on these sometimes. They don’t really care anyway.” It was obviousthat the Jeffersons didn’t think it was too important.
