Lola said, "Logan Jefferson, you better tell me the truth. Are there any illegal projects going on here?”
Logan wanted to act silly and say no. But Lola’s expression was so serious as she kept staring at him. Perhaps it was due to Lola’s previous occupation, but her gaze was always sharp and penetrating. It was as if she could see through someone.
Thus, all the frivolous words that Logan was about to say were stuck in his throat. For some reason, he felt rather guilty under Lola's gaze.
Lola strolled toward him. Standing in front of Logan, she leaned forward slightly to close the distance between them. "Are there any such projects? Speak up."
Logan had never seen Lola from such a close distance before. To him, she was nothing but a tomboy, for when she put her jacket on, he couldn’t tell whether she was a man or a woman. But now, she was just one step away from him. As she inched closer, he could literally smell the faint fragrance of her shower gel from her body.
Now that Lola had put away her police uniform, she wore a ponytail and simple sports attire. Although she did not dress up nor put on exquisite makeup, she clearly looked like a woman.
Without any idea why his heart pounded so hard, Logan felt his entire body becoming a little unsteady.
In a flash, he backed away, his tone a little impatient. "Why are you so close to me?"
Lola stood up straight, still staring at him. "Just tell me if there are any more such projects. I hope you’ll tell me the truth."
Snorting, Logan turned his back to Lola and walked toward the entrance. “I’ve always been doing honorable work. No, no, there is no illegal project here, understand?”
Lola slowly wrapped her arms around herself. Staring at Logan's back for a while, she sneered before following him.
She had approached Logan this time to discuss with him about the shadow bank's affairs. Initially, when Logan said that he would cooperate with her, she did not take him seriously. But after Logan provided some clues, she did find a lot of illegal drugs at the shadow bank.
Only then did Lola gain a better impression of Logan. I suppose this trash Young Master Logan can be useful sometimes.
Lola followed Logan to the front of the clubhouse.
After thinking for a while, Logan sat down on the sofa in the front hall with Lola. Actually, he had shared all the news he knew with her. He wasn’t someone who could keep secrets, and he loved showing off his knowledge to others. At that moment, how he badly wished he knew everything about the world so that he could appear cultured and sophisticated before Lola!
Right now, Logan really had nothing new to tell Lola as they sat together. But Lola didn't mind and simply went over the previous information with him, trying to see if there was anything they had missed.
It was the first time Lola showed Logan more patience than usual. Logan didn't know why, but he felt encouraged. Thus, he followed Lola's analysis of the previous information more earnestly this time.
Since they were discussing matters and going over strategies together, naturally, they had to lean into each other’s direction.
Lola was very serious when it came to her work. Although she had changed her career, her obsession with cracking down on crimes remained. Therefore, whenever she encountered a crime, she would become much more careful and thorough about it.
And it was said that a person was at their most attractive when they were serious about what they were doing.
