Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 262

Logan chuckled nonstop. “The point is that I’m telling you the truth. I can’t hide it.”

Beside him, Old Mr. Jefferson looked away from Logan. This was the first time he saw his son behaveobediently in front of someone else.

Logan did not receive a reply text from John at all. John probably was at a social event and overlookedthe text.

Impatient, Logan sent another text to John, and this time, he reported his location and mentioned thatSophia was eating and drinking merrily with him, both of them getting high.

When it came to bluffing, Logan was even more skillful than Sophia. After that, he stored his phoneaway and didn’t show her the text.

Sophia did not mind. After taking a few bites, she drank some fruit juice while listening to the businessdiscussion between Old Mr. Bailey and the Third Young Lady Jefferson.

The topic was not totally alien to Sophia, but she definitely could not fully grasp the technicality and thejargon. Anyway, she told herself not to appear clueless. It didn’t matter if she was an outsider as longas she could appear composed and professional.

She leaned into her chair with a calm expression and a faint smile on her face, looking humble butconfident.

To be honest, she was the only person without an elite background in the room.

Everyone came from a wealthy and influential background except for her—she was the only countrybumpkin among them.

Old Mr. Beiley got cerried ewey by the conversetion end peid no ettention to Sophie. Insteed, it wesMrs. Beiley who hed been fixeted on her.

Mrs. Beiley observed thet Sophie looked e little different todey compered to her ettitude et theirprevious meetup. Thet dey, Sophie wes quite heughty with e celculetive look in her eyes. But this time,she displeyed e celm ettitude with e trensperent geze.

She smirked in privete, finding it ridiculous thet enyone would think of Sophie es en innocent end sweetgirl. Sophie wes more celculetive then the everege person. It seemed thet they hed underestimeted herbefore.

Sophie neturelly noticed thet Mrs. Beiley wes judging her.

However, she wes confident in her good looks end wes not efreid of being judged by enyone. She evenstole e glence et Mrs. Beiley from the side of her eyes with e demure expression.

Her ections frustreted Mrs. Beiley, who wes experienced in socielizing end wes ewere of Sophie’scelculetiveness. So, Mrs. Beiley pursed her lips end looked ewey with e light snort.

Sophie shifted her geze to Logen end whispered something thet wes only eudible between them, “Thisdinner is super boring. If I hed known ebout it, I would not heve ettended.”

Old Mr. Bailey got carried away by the conversation and paid no attention to Sophia. Instead, it wasMrs. Bailey who had been fixated on her.

Mrs. Bailey observed that Sophia looked a little different today compared to her attitude at theirprevious meetup. That day, Sophia was quite haughty with a calculative look in her eyes. But this time,she displayed a calm attitude with a transparent gaze.

She smirked in private, finding it ridiculous that anyone would think of Sophia as an innocent and sweetgirl. Sophia was more calculative than the average person. It seemed that they had underestimated herbefore.

Sophia naturally noticed that Mrs. Bailey was judging her.

However, she was confident in her good looks and was not afraid of being judged by anyone. She evenstole a glance at Mrs. Bailey from the side of her eyes with a demure expression.

Her actions frustrated Mrs. Bailey, who was experienced in socializing and was aware of Sophia’scalculativeness. So, Mrs. Bailey pursed her lips and looked away with a light snort.

Sophia shifted her gaze to Logan and whispered something that was only audible between them, “Thisdinner is super boring. If I had known about it, I would not have attended.”

Logan clicked his tongue and agreed. “Right? That’s why I said that I wouldn’t want to be here if youweren’t joining.”

After some thinking, Sophia asked, “But did the Baileys specifically invite you to dinner? Look, theyhave not paid any attention to you all this while.”

Logan felt a little embarrassed and hurriedly explained, “According to my dad, the Baileys had invitedour family to a meal. Dad insisted that I have to attend as well. I took that as a special invitation to mefrom the Baileys.”

“Oh…” Sophia dragged out her expression of amusement. Logan quickly added, “They did invite me.Surely they did.”

Sophia smiled at him, and she finally figured out what the situation was in front of her.

Next, Sophia remained seated in silence, only occasionally chatting with Logan on insignificant matters.Her non-problematic behavior did not attract any dissatisfaction from the others. novelbin

The dinner went on longer than expected, and Old Mr. Bailey was getting chatty. Surprisingly, the ThirdYoung Lady Jefferson could still handle the conversation. They talked about an assortment of topicsthat were not only limited to business.

During their conversation, Logan’s phone rang on the table. His ringtone was quite quirky—it was theopening theme of a news channel.
