Meanwhile, Jasmine sat in the backseat with a surprised look on her face. After staring at Logan for a while, she took her eyes off him. Along the journey, none of them spoke until they reached the entrance of the restaurant. Then, the three of them got out of the car.
Logan shifted his eyes to Lola and said, “John will be there, so please keep yourself in check later. Furthermore, his wife will also be there, so please don’t stare at him like a creep like what you did last time.”
In response, Lola sniggered. “What’re you talking about? There were only just the three of us previously. Who else should I set my eyes on besides him? You?”
Logan’s lips twitched a little when he heard that. “W-What’s wrong with looking at me?”
Lola snorted in a haughty manner and replied, “Forget it. I’d rather look at myself in the mirror than your face.” After that, she proceeded to make her way into the restaurant.
Honestly, I don’t think she would make a perfect match with Logan. After all, Logan needs someone with a domineering personality to keep him in check. While what she thought might be accurate, Sophia didn’t think it was appropriate to directly speak her mind. Thus, she politely greeted them. “Come in. We’ve been expecting you guys.” Lola sat down beside Sophia and said, “We’ve met before.” Sophia smiled and replied, “Yes. You nearly arrested us the last time we were playing poker at Logan’s clubhouse.” Upon hearing that, Lola couldn’t help but laugh in amusement. She then looked askance at Logan. “Out of all the spot checks I ever did at his clubhouse, that was the first time I saw a note stuck on his head while playing poker. I couldn’t say I wasn’t surprised, though.
” In fact, she had never found anything unusual whenever she ran a spot check at Logan’s clubhouse, except the fact that Logan was seen playing poker almost every time. While he was seen to be gambling with real money, the waiters insisted that Logan was only using it for show because he was unwilling to win his own employees’ money. Nonetheless, Lola wouldn’t trust anyone’s words unless she saw it with her own eyes. To her, Logan was obviously gambling. Soon, Sophia turned her attention to Jasmine, wanting to ask her if she was Logan’s girlfriend. However, the moment those words reached the tip of her tongue, she swallowed them back, thinking it wasn’t an appropriate time to bring that up since Lola was around. Therefore, she redirected her focus to Logan and asked, “So, aren’t you going to introduce them to us, Logan?” Logan appeared as if he nearly forgot about his friends. “Oh. Oh yes, of course.” He first pointed at Lola and said, “Well, I guess I don’t have to introduce this lady here since you all have seen her.”
