Next One Is a Babe

Shawn looked rather reluctant, but still, he dragged his feet over and said that he wanted to apologize to Lola.

Lola was still standing in the house. Beside her, Logan chuckled. “Go on and see what he has to say.”

Truthfully, Lola didn’t want to talk to Shawn. However, he then called out to her again, so she had no choice but to go out.

Shawn’s expression was a tad complicated when he spotted her. Never had he imagined that the matter would be blown into pieces at her hands. In his opinion, her family was just average, so while she had friends in authority due to her former profession, he wasn’t at all afraid since all those people were bound by the law. He didn’t believe that he’d be on the losing end, nor did he believe that they’d surreptitiously make things difficult for him.

However, never had it crossed his mind that Logan would be the variable in this. He didn’t take him seriously back then, but he’d been put in his place today. Although he didn’t lose his job, he’d been stripped of his position. The higher-ups didn’t give him a specific reason, but they hinted that he’d offended someone he shouldn’t have offended, and they even urged him to settle the problem as soon as possible, else his days would be even worse.

This ‘someone’ couldn’t be Lola, so after mulling it over, he concluded that it was Logan who warned him today. He initially thought that Logan was merely talking big, but unexpectedly, he truly had the ability to make life difficult for him.

Shawn then cast his gaze into the house, but he didn’t see Logan. At this, rage consumed him. I’ve truly missed taking him into consideration! If only I’d known about it, I wouldn’t have pestered Lola for so long! He pressed his lips into a flat line, only apologizing to her after an eternity.

Then, he insisted that he didn’t mean anything, merely reluctant to break up with her since his feelings for her were real. It was actually no different from the contents of his ‘short essays’ in the past; other than the apology at the beginning, everything that followed was justification of his actions.

Regret assailed Lola for having come out, for she truly didn’t want to listen to this whole spiel. Thus, when he was going to continue expounding on his ‘short essay,’ she held up a hand to stop him. “You don’t need to say so much, Shawn. I’ve made myself clear to you. We’re indeed unsuited, and I’ve told you this. As long as you stop pestering me, we’ll go our separate ways.”

After staring at her for a long while, Shawn finally nodded. “Okay, we’ll go our separate ways.”
