"Out of the blue, you reached out to me and I had to honor my promise, so I immediately told him about that." she started to joke again, "You can't blame me for this. If I can't get support from him, I won't be able to help you. And you have no idea, that maid of yours is stubborn."
"And then he sent Logan." I inquired.
Catherine immediately gave me a thumbs up, "Smart! How else would I know Logan?"
"You said Logan was a top-notch private investigator, DragonLord, so, you've been lying to me all the time?" I glared at Catherine, fuming, "Catherine, how many truths have you told me?"
"All of it's true." Catherine raised her hand as if to swear an oath, "But I only knew the top dog in this industry was nicknamed DragonLord. He was rumored to be something extraordinary, but how would I know Logan was DragonLord? I was desperate to see you, fearing you were in danger, so I called Ronan in a panic, and he sent Logan. I didn't trust him, but he assured me, saying Logan was his cousin."
Catherine spoke with such enthusiasm, her expressions were incredibly animated.
"I didn't expect my boss to know Logan. The first time he came to visit me, my boss saw him, and later asked me how I could know DragonLord. That's when I found out Logan is DragonLord, and he's even Ronan's cousin." Catherine spoke as if she was saying a tongue twister.
"You guys act so familiar like you've known each other for ages." I commented sarcastically, copying Logan's tone, "Not even trying hard, Catherine here is going to get him killed. Ridiculous!"
Seeing me speak like this, Catherine immediately brightened up, "You've seen it. Logan is such a chatterbox. He can get acquainted with strangers very quickly. Besides, Ronan cares so much about your safety, and he repeatedly reminds us not to put you in too much danger. Treating you as if you were some precious gem."
"Cut the crap, and don't change the subject. Do you know he works for the government?"
"I know." Catherine answered so quickly that it made me extremely angry. It seems I was the only one who didn't know anything.
"What does he do exactly?" I immediately followed up, and my eyes locked on Catherine.
Catherine knew she shouldn't say that, and she looked at me, clearly thinking about how to answer.
