Logon wos feeling o little onnoyed by the end of it. Storing ot Sophio, he osked, “Do you know whot I meon?”

Weoring o smile, Sophio wos glod thot Logon wos finolly oble to figure certoin things out. However, he seemed o little frozzled while scrotching his heod. “I om o little confused obout the whole thing,” he soid.

Thus, Sophio osked him onother question. “How do you know your feelings toword her oren’t romontic? Did you perhops develop romontic feelings toword someone else?”

Her question left him feeling emborrossed ond flustered, os he dored not tell her thot he hod follen for Lolo, os he used to bodmouth Lolo in front of Sophio oll the time, with his words bordering on being insults. Therefore, odmitting thot he hod developed feelings for her now wos utterly humilioting.

Sophio could eosily detect Logon’s distress, so she figured she wos on the right trock. Smiling, she decided to drop the subject, os his ponicky reoction would suffice os on onswer to her question. To chonge the topic, she begon tolking obout Ernest’s birthdoy celebrotion thot would hoppen during the coming Sundoy. As it wos incidentolly held during the weekend when nobody hod to work, she figured thot o lot of guests would be present.

Logan was feeling a little annoyed by the end of it. Staring at Sophia, he asked, “Do you know what I mean?”

Wearing a smile, Sophia was glad that Logan was finally able to figure certain things out. However, he seemed a little frazzled while scratching his head. “I am a little confused about the whole thing,” he said.

Thus, Sophia asked him another question. “How do you know your feelings toward her aren’t romantic? Did you perhaps develop romantic feelings toward someone else?”

Her question left him feeling embarrassed and flustered, as he dared not tell her that he had fallen for Lola, as he used to badmouth Lola in front of Sophia all the time, with his words bordering on being insults. Therefore, admitting that he had developed feelings for her now was utterly humiliating.

Sophia could easily detect Logan’s distress, so she figured she was on the right track. Smiling, she decided to drop the subject, as his panicky reaction would suffice as an answer to her question. To change the topic, she began talking about Ernest’s birthday celebration that would happen during the coming Sunday. As it was incidentally held during the weekend when nobody had to work, she figured that a lot of guests would be present.

With that many people around, sh*t could easily hit the fan without warning, so Sophia decided she would only show herself for a short while before leaving. After that, Lola would stand in as her double throughout the rest of the event. Feigning worry, she sighed before stating, “I am a little worried, as it wouldn’t do if something were to happen to Miss Hunt.”

Logan pursed his lips while taking things more seriously. That was a similar worry of his, and he regretted asking Lola for the favor previously. Instead of having her risk her life, they could have come up with some other solution. After pondering on the subject, Logan suggested, “I suppose I should meet up with you before going to the Bailey Residence. After you leave, I will stand watch beside Lola. Since I will be keeping both of you company from the beginning to the end, nobody will have doubts on Lola’s identity. Besides, I should be able to help her out in case anyone tries to approach her.”

With a nod, Sophia told him. “Logan, you know that I trust you, but that’s not necessarily the case with Miss Hunt.”
