Next One Is a Babe

Sophia then asked Logan where he was, to which he stammered and said, “I’m away from home.” Upon hearing his reply, Sophia let out a sigh, feeling tempted to pull Logan’s leg, if only she was in the mood to do that. I bet this guy must be licking Lola’s boots right now, but I’m not going to say that out today.

Soon, Sophia proceeded to make her point known. “I don’t know what’s going on with John, so can you talk to him and find out what help he needs? Logan, you’re the only one I can trust right now. I wouldn’t impose on you if I could do this myself. Please, I’m worried about him.”

Logan sighed and replied, “Relax! I just spoke with John, and he knows what he is doing. Come on, have some faith in both of us! John and I are buddies. I’ve got his back!” Then, he added, “John is way tougher than you think, so don’t let your wild imagination scare you. Just take good care of yourself because you’re going to live a happy life after everything is over.”

Logan’s reply gave Sophia an obvious hint that John hadn’t been completely upfront with her about what he knew regarding the Bailey Family, which was why she didn’t know where things stood between him and them. Is the investigation coming to an end already? After ending the call with Logan, Sophia felt better, even though she still couldn’t shake off her nerves. Then, she lay down and switched off the lights, trying to fall asleep as soon as possible. Maybe everything will be over the moment I open my eyes to find John by my side.

Although Sophia sleeplessly tossed and turned in bed at first, she eventually dozed off without herself knowing it. Nonetheless, her sleep wasn’t exactly a peaceful one as she could vaguely hear strange sounds. At the same time, she unknowingly stretched out her hand toward the empty space beside her in bed, trying to feel John’s presence, but to no avail. Although she believed nothing would likely happen to John since he was protected by his bodyguards, she was still bothered by a bad feeling deep down.

The next morning, Sophia woke up and found herself alone in the bed. John didn’t come home last night. She then sighed and slowly sat up straight.

Upon reaching for her phone, she saw a message from John telling her to rest assured as he was safe and sound. After that, she heaved a sigh of relief and went about her morning ablution since it was still early. Then, she returned to her bed and sat on it before sending John a message. ‘What are you doing right now?’ A few seconds later, she received a call from John, hearing his first response. “Good morning. You’re up early, by the way.”

Sophia tried to reply with a calm voice. “I went to bed a little earlier than usual last night, and I can’t seem to fall asleep right now.”

John comforted her and said, “It was midnight by the time I finished my work, so I decided to stay in my office until the next day because I was afraid I would have woken you up if I had gone back. Don’t worry about me. I’m fine.”

Curious, Sophia asked, “So, what kept you busy last night?”

In response, John hesitated and answered, “Wow! Let’s just say it was an eventful day.”
