Next One Is a Babe

Lola chose to keep mum. It’s better if I don’t say anything since this fella can seize a minor comment and turn it into something corny.

The two of them entered a private room. The private room wasn’t huge, but the décor was very elegant. Taking the menu, Logan scanned through it before handing it to her. “Why don’t you choose? You can order anything you want.”

His deep pockets are showing again! Lola wasn’t particularly picky about food. In her former profession, she didn't even have time to eat sometimes, so it was already a blessing that she had time to eat now. After looking at the menu, she ordered two vegetable dishes in the end. The price indicated on the menu at the end was truly too steep that she found it rather outrageous. However, she wasn’t so bold as to say that she could cook all these at home herself.

Logan then took the menu again. This time, he didn’t look at it, merely ordering two dishes at random. Then, he ordered a nourishing soup. When the server had left, he said, “The soup here is quite good. You have stomach problems, no? Drink some soup to nourish your stomach.”

Lola indeed had stomach problems. It wasn’t just her, but also her ex-colleagues. However, she was surprised that he knew about this.

Aware of her thoughts, Logan explained, “I saw the gastric medicine on your office table.”

Lola merely smiled. Then, she recalled something. “I’m going home in a few days, so you don’t need to come over. Just go about your own business.”

Taken aback, Logan gaped at her. “You’re going home? What’s wrong? Did something else happen at home? Did that Shawn guy go and make trouble at your house again? Bring me along. Let me tell you; no one else can resolve this matter except me. He’s a bully who’s only afraid of someone stronger, so I’ve got to go head-to-head with him. I’m an expert in putting people like him in their places.”

Lola looked at him in exasperation. “Can you just hold your horses? It’s a personal matter involving my family, so I’ll go back and settle it. It’ll probably just take half a day.”

Puzzlement swamped Logan. “What’s the matter that you can’t tell me about it?”

It’s not that I can’t tell him about it, but I just think there’s no need to do so.

Subsequently, Logan snickered. “Even if you don’t tell me, I can still find out what it is.” He looked exceedingly smug as he said, “I can ferret out information very quickly, especially when it’s got to do with you.”

Lola leaned back against her chair. The more I look at him, the more I feel like punching him in the face! Nonetheless, she suppressed the urge in the end. “It’s really nothing major. My grandmother’s death anniversary is around the corner, so I’m going back to visit her grave.”
