The Returning Ex

Their rendezvous turned out to be a karaoke that Logan picked as he said he was a VIP member there, where he could get some discounts. After flagging down a cab, they hit the road and headed toward their destination. Soon, the driver asked, “Did you rub anyone the wrong way recently, ladies?”

Sophia paused, confused by the driver’s words. “Um… no? Who could we rub the wrong way?” Nevertheless, the driver only stared at both ladies from the rearview mirror without saying a single word. Not long after that, the car pulled up outside the karaoke, but when Sophia exited the cab, the driver reminded her about her safety. “Be careful because it’s getting late now. The street is no place for ladies like you two in the late night, so try to stick with your friends.”

While those words sounded like a friendly reminder to Sophia, she smiled and thanked the driver. As soon as they entered the karaoke, the driver drove off, clearly seeing the entrance from the rearview mirror. Then, he pulled over by the roadside and remained in the car.

Meanwhile, Logan was already waiting inside by the time Sophia and Robin arrived. Soon, they were greeted by a table of food and boxes of beers placed by the door. Besides, Logan was seen with two of his men whom he brought along from his clubhouse, and Sophia had known them since the last time they played poker together.
