Chapter 1207
Lola stared daggers at him while pulling her lips into a thin line. “Of course you won’t know the reasons.” That single sentence managed to silence Logan.
After that, the remainder of the afternoon was spent in the gym, whereas Logan’s driver gave him a call upon sending Lola’s father home. The driver also handed the presents that were stored in the car trunk to Langdon, as per Logan’s instructions, but the driver reported back that Langdon didn’t seem too happy about it. Lowering his voice, the driver reminded, “Young Master, you shouldn’t take it lightly, as he seems to be somewhat opinionated.”
Indeed… Even Logan could see that. He used to think that he had succeeded in gaining Langdon’s approval, but judging from Langdon’s reaction today, that didn’t seem to be the case. Heaving a sigh, Logan gave a curt response before ending the call.
That night, he had dinner with Lola outside, who got a call from her father when they were halfway through their meal. In the beginning, she had no problem talking in front of Logan, but chose to exit the room later on after casting Logan a few glances.
Logan knew full well what that meant; it meant that their following conversation had something to do with him, but he shouldn’t be involved, most probably because they had nothing good to say about him. At the thought of this, it left him feeling awful, and he lost his appetite. Therefore, he lit a cigarette before scrolling on his phone while puffing on it.
Lola spent ten or so minutes over the phone. When she returned to the room, Logan spent a good few seconds staring at her but failed to pick up on anything, as Lola was an expert at concealing her emotions. Logan knew he was no match for her when it came to psychological tactics, so he took the direct approach. “Did your father tell you something?”
Startled, Lola lifted her head to glance at him before smiling. “It’s nothing. We didn’t talk about anything important, so don’t take this to heart
My father still likes you a lot.” Pursing his lips, Logan was feeling uneasy about it, so he couldn’t help but grumble, “You have to tell me beforehand if he is discontent with my performance.” Lola smiled after casting him a few glances. “Why are you so worried about this? You’re doing fine, so don’t overthink this. Look at you, being such a drag.” Since she gave him an ultimatum, Logan couldn’t say much else. After dinner, Lola left for home despite their initial plans to go around the city. She told Logan that she wanted to sleep as she was feeling a little tired after her father’s early visit. Not knowing the exact time of her father’s arrival, Logan couldn’t determine if she was telling the truth, so he could only drive her home as per her request. Due to the fact that Lola told him she needed some rest, Logan couldn’t just follow her into her house brazenly, so they parted ways downstairs. Lola was all smiles when she waved goodbye to him, and from what he could see, nothing seemed wrong. Although Logan was uncertain about it, he could only drive away. Instead of returning to the clubhouse, he went back home after driving around in the city feeling perturbed. Meanwhile, Old Mr. Jefferson was watching TV, seemingly in good spirits since his body was healing quite nicely. Upon noticing Logan’s return, he cried out in surprise. “Are you sure you didn’t get to the wrong place, you
b*stard?” Plopping down on the sofa with a sigh, Logan didn’t come back at him, which caught the old man off guard. Giggling, he asked, “What’s wrong? Are you upset about something? Tell me so I can have a good laugh.”
