Next One Is a Babe

Lola didn’t pay any attention to the lady, but she suddenly stopped when she went past Lola. Instinctively, Lola looked at her and arched an eyebrow when she saw it was Jasmine. Well, what are the odds? Fate was a master of jokes. Sometimes two people who were dying to meet would walk past each other in a bustling city, while sometimes enemies kept bumping into each other. Then Lola looked away. Aside from Logan, they shared no connection, though the matter of Logan alone put them in a peculiar spot.

Moving aside to allow others passage, Jasmine then went up to her and said, “Out on a date with Logan again?” Her tone was rather ambiguous—she wasn’t mocking her, nor was she asking a question. She wasn’t laughing at herself either.

Taken aback, Lola wondered what she was trying to say. She looked back at Jasmine and said yes.

Jasmine nodded. “He really is nice to you. Truth be told, I’ve noticed something off since the beginning.”

Lola sighed and looked at her again. “Whatever you say. But I am certain that we only started dating after your breakup with him.”

Jasmine pursed her lips. “But you can’t deny the fact that he has fallen for you before that.”

Lola shrugged. “Maybe, but you’ll have to take that up with him.” Lola didn’t know when Logan started falling for her, nor did she care. If she was sure about anything, it was the fact that she never drove a wedge between Logan and Jasmine, nor did she ruin their relationship.

Now that she thought of it, Lola thought she showed no interest in Logan when he was dating Jasmine. She started falling for him after he went back with her twice, and after getting along with him, she changed her opinion and found out about his better side.

Jasmine was about to say something, but someone called out to her—most likely her friend. “Coming!” Then she turned back to Lola. “I tried to talk to him, but he didn’t give me a chance, and he insulted me. It might be just me, or he might be treating everyone the same way.” A long sigh then followed. “I’ve given up anyway, so I wish for your happiness.” Then she left like the wind, leaving Lola with no chance to say thank you.

Lola saw her off, and she smiled. Well, that lady is better than Shawn, that’s for sure. The thought of Shawn irked her. Who does he think he is? Does he see me as a backup plan? What a joke. Lunch was already served when Lola came back, but Logan didn’t dig in yet; he was waiting for her.

Lola went up to him with a grin. “Guess who I bumped into just now.”
