Next One Is a Babe

Furthermore, those people are always stealing glances at her. Just look if you want to; why the need to act so sneakily? Sophia sneered silently.

Turning to Logan, Dylan said, “I met your dad earlier and he seems to be looking for you, but I don’t know why.”

Logan nodded in acknowledgement. Prior to this, his father made it clear that he would be introducing some important figures to him on this day, and he even reminded him to go over to his table to offer a toast during mealtime. However, Logan couldn’t be bothered to go over. So, it was only expected that he would be looking for him now, either to introduce all kinds of people to him, or to give him a lecture.

The former seems like a bigger possibility, he thought.

Glancing at Logan, Sophia suggested, “Why don’t you look for him to check it out? I hope it’s not something important.”

In such matters, even if it was unimportant to Logan, it was most probably imperative to his father. Thus, after contemplation, he stood up to leave. “I’ll check it out to see if it’s really anything important. Both of you stay here and don’t go anywhere. I’m coming back soon.”

After hearing Sophia’s ‘mm hmm’ as a reply, he then left briskly.

“You came together with Logan?” Dylan asked Sophia.

Sophia nodded and then felt a little conflicted. “Actually, I’m regretting it now because it’s really boring here.”
Furtharmora, thosa paopla ara always staaling glancas at har. Just look if you want to; why tha naad to act so snaakily? Sophia snaarad silantly.

Turning to Logan, Dylan said, “I mat your dad aarliar and ha saams to ba looking for you, but I don’t know why.”

Understanding what she meant, he uttered, “I’m regretting it as well. I wanted to leave earlier, but felt that it seemed a little impolite.”

Widening her eyes, she gushed, “So we’re having the same thought!”

Dylan cracked up. “I think we have similar opinions on some issues, Miss Gwendolyn.”

“Yeah, I think so, too,” she said in agreement.

Meanwhile, on the dance floor, Isabelle started a conversation with John. “I wonder if I said the right things in the media interview earlier.”

John hesitated before assuring her, “I think you did well. Your reaction was quick.”

Giggling, she unconsciously inched closer to him, but it was a barely noticeable distance. “I don’t really know how to handle the media actually, but at that time, I thought that some misunderstandings from before could be resolved if I just explained things a little.”

“Hmm,” John mumbled and didn’t say anything else.

After a short pause, Isabelle tried again. “Previously, I wanted to go to your company to discuss a detail in the new supply contract. In the end, I scrapped the idea because of the incident on the Internet. I was afraid that it might cause you trouble.”
