Sophia was listening, but she was still silent. So Elena stopped. She knew that Sophia should make her own choice.
Soon after, Sophia was happy again, as if nothing had happened. “I get your point. I will think about it.”
Perhaps she should give a chance to Zach, especially to herself.
Elena nodded. After a while, Logan and Zach walked out. Zach looked at Sophia’s crying eyes. Since he didn’t know what happened to her, he turned to look at Elena for an answer.
But Elena stared at him, “A bug happened to get in her eyes. Look at you, so worried! She got the eye drops already. Don’t worry.”
Zach doubted it. Then he said to Sophia, “How silly you are to let a bug in your eyes!”
Sophia didn’t want to argue with him.
Elena asked Logan, “Your conversation is done?”
“Yes, almost. But I have something to ask you.”
“What?”
Logan looked at her, “Did Kent get your DNA when we were abroad?”
Elena thought carefully about it, but she couldn’t remember it. She just remembered that he touched her.
After a while, she shook her head, “I don’t remember…”
Zach grinned, “Forget it. Kent must have taken your DNA. You should know you can get others’ DNA just with his hair. He must have used Elena’s DNA for the test. But we didn’t know who else was involved in the test.”
“Why are you talking about Kent? I thought you were talking about Emma.”
Zach smiled confidently to Elena, “Come on! Emma couldn’t do anything to bother us. Believe me. After a sleep, all the headlines will turn into congratulations of Logan and you.”
Elena believed him. Jacob was dealing with “the bird who gets the lead”. The other media could understand the sign and tried to protect themselves from being attacked. Of course they would delete all the fake news.
“So we get nothing new about Kent, right?”
“Well…it’s hard to say…but…” Zach said in an anxious tone, “His background is just too clean, you know, like being deleted on purpose.”
It was too clean, which seemed to be something fishy going on.
Elena understood. Then she said, “Leave it for a while. He is trying to build bridges with KL and now he is working so hard on it. In all likelihood, he will come to us again.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes.” Elena nodded.
She’d met Kent many times. He was full of overconfidence and arrogance. He thought he was the best in the world. And as treacherous and cunning he was, he managed to get KL’s proposal so easily.
All in all, he thought he could get what he wanted including KL. But he didn’t expect that he failed because of Logan. So, he wouldn’t just stop there and came to them again.
Elena gasped. He sold them out. And he would be charged soon. In this case, he couldn’t work in H City anymore. No company would hire a person who had committed a crime.
“Do you think that’s too much?” Logan looked at her and asked.
Elena shook her head, saying in a low voice, “No, I don’t. He should blame himself for being too greedy. After all, he sold the company’s secret to others and he should have known the consequences!”
Logan agreed with her. He held her hand, “Elena, don’t be soft to the enemies.”
To be merciful to the enemies was to be merciless to themselves. He didn’t want her to get hurt.
Elena looked unhappy, “Do you think that I am soft and silly?”
Or he was thinking that she was the nicest one without limit in the world?
She told him that she wasn’t a nice person. But many people thought that she was so tolerant and tried to bully her.
Logan smiled, and teased her, “Yes, you are my silly girl.”
Elena complained, “You are silly! I am so clever!”
Then she got a plan, looking at him cunningly, “If I tell the news about the spy to the magazine studio, do you think that they will make it a headline, being a substitute for the fake news?”
She was like a little cunning fox who was about to make a prank. She was so cute that Logan couldn’t help loving her more.
