Next One Is a Babe

---

Ian was unused to having a woman busying herself in his house. After spending some time staring at the TV, he returned to his room as he couldn’t focus on watching it anyway. He left the blanket that Cindy used on the sofa, then locked himself in his room before making his way to the window.

Now, he was feeling a little irritated by his unconventional relationship with Cindy, but upon closer introspection, he realized there wasn’t anything of substance between them to begin with.

After spending some time by the window, Logan’s call came through. With how busy he was taking care of his wife, Ian was surprised that Logan even had time to contact him. As soon as the call connected, Logan said, “I didn’t expect you to create such a huge ruckus when I wasn’t looking! Have you finally decided to date your assistant?”

Ian didn’t need to keep anything from Logan, so he told the latter the truth. “It’s fake. We did everything to deal with the scandal.”

Logan let out a chuckle before continuing, “Seems like my guess was correct. I think you two are quite compatible with each other though. Despite how things started between you two, you still have a chance of turning it into a real relationship.”

Ian sniggered. “It’s a pity that you aren’t working as a script writer.” After that, he added, “I can’t possibly date my assistant.”

“Why not? Anything is possible,” Logan answered without hesitation. “You can take Lola and I as an example. Nobody expected us to get married. We got off on the wrong foot, so for the longest time, we were practically each other’s nemesis, but you should look at us now. Our relationship back then was a hundred times worse than your relationship with your assistant now. Nothing is impossible, as all that is needed is effort.”

There was a hint of joy in Logan’s voice, which made Ian think that he was trying to show off his relationship with Lola. Therefore, Ian chuckled before replying, “Not everybody gets to be as lucky as you to be able to meet someone who would reciprocate your feelings. It’s just too slim of a chance.”

Ian figured that Logan was a lucky b*stard, as the latter only ever encountered minor hurdles in life. Since Logan managed to marry the first woman whom he fell for, Ian didn't expect him to understand his situation. With no intention to make Logan understand his thoughts and keep the conversation revolving around the nonexistent relationship between Cindy and himself, Ian changed the topic, asking Logan how Lola and him were doing instead.

Logan got even more chatty at the mention of his wife, telling Ian about how Lola had thinned due to a severe case of morning sickness. Despite the fact that he had hired a nutritionist to prepare Lola's meals for her, she still hadn't been eating much. Besides, she also got a lot more pickier when it came to food, with some of them including seasonal ingredients, so Logan had to buy them from abroad.

There wos o hint of joy in Logon’s voice, which mode Ion think thot he wos trying to show off his relotionship with Lolo. Therefore, Ion chuckled before replying, “Not everybody gets to be os lucky os you to be oble to meet someone who would reciprocote your feelings. It’s just too slim of o chonce.”

Ion figured thot Logon wos o lucky b*stord, os the lotter only ever encountered minor hurdles in life. Since Logon monoged to morry the first womon whom he fell for, Ion didn't expect him to understond his situotion. With no intention to moke Logon understond his thoughts ond keep the conversotion revolving oround the nonexistent relotionship between Cindy ond himself, Ion chonged the topic, osking Logon how Lolo ond him were doing insteod.
