Apparently, Lola had just come out from a shower, and she was clad in a coat on top of her casual clothes. With a bag in her hand, she strode toward Logan’s car.
Seeing this, Logan quickly opened the car door and circled around the vehicle. When the two of them met, he asked, “What’s wrong? I was about to leave. Do you have anything to tell me?”
Lola sized him up and passed the bag to him. “This is for you. My mom made it and gave it to me. However, I can’t finish all of it, and it’s wasteful to throw it away. Since you’re here, I reckon that I’ll give you some of it.”
With a disdainful expression, Logan took over the bag and opened it. However, the content was stored inside a box, so he couldn’t make out what was inside. Smacking his lips, he questioned, “What is it? I have an expensive taste in food, and I’ve tasted the best dishes in the world before. So, I won’t eat any average food. Also, you might have dropped poison in it, since you’re a treacherous woman.”
Lola glared at him. “Do you want this or not? Give it back to me if you don’t like it.”
Logan immediately kept the bag in his arms. “There’s no way you can get it back from me. It’s mine now!”
After pulling her coat tighter, Lola gazed at him and asked, “So, why are you here? Have you come here just to check on me?”
In an impatient manner, Logan waved his hand. “There’s no other reason. I’m just worried that something might have happened to you because you’ve been out of touch for the past two days.”
Lola’s expression turned milder when she heard this. “I went back to my hometown to visit my parents.” Before Logan could utter a word, she went on to say, “I had a date with a man there, and I actually think he’s a nice guy.”
Startled, Logan stared at her and questioned, “You went on a date?”
Due to Logan’s help regarding the shadow bank, Lola had a better impression of him now. In fact, Logan wasn’t a terrible person. He was just a spoiled kid because his parents had been doting on him, so he didn’t know that there were some boundaries he shouldn’t cross. Nevertheless, he was a kind-hearted man deep down.
After a grunt, Lola replied, “Yeah. It’s not embarrassing to go on a blind date. Moreover, that man is fine.”
Holding the bag tighter, Logan snorted. “I don’t believe that a fine man will have his eye on you.”
Lola raised her leg and glowered at him. “If you have nothing nice to say, just keep your mouth shut!”
With a contemptuous expression, Logan advised, “You have to be careful. Maybe that guy is just interested in your beauty. It’s dangerous to go on a date with a stranger. I’m speaking the truth, so you’d better listen to my advice.”
Although Lola found his words irritating, that was the exact concern she had on her mind. Nodding with difficulty, she replied, “Got it. I’m an adult, so I have the ability to judge whether he’s a good guy.”
Logan put on a hollow laugh. “I don’t think you have that ability.”
Lola scoffed and turned around. “Alright. It’s late now. I have to go back. See you.”
With the bag in his arms, Logan stared at her figure and went on to say in a relentless manner, “I’m telling you, you have to be careful and don’t be fooled by that guy. There are many men out there who are handsome and highly educated, but they are cunning people in reality.”
Lola waved her hand and said, “Alright, alright. I got it. Stop nagging.”
After she disappeared into the passageway, Logan lowered his head and gazed at the bag in his arms. For some reason, he smiled before letting out a sigh.
