Next One Is a Babe novel Chapter 1040

Lola was shocked when she saw Logan standing next to his car and smoking. In a disdainful tone, she asked, “Why are you here again?”

Logan immediately put out his cigarette. “Get into the car. Let’s go get breakfast.”

However, Lola narrowed her eyes and stared at him. “Are you alright? Did you get food poisoning from yesterday or something? Why won’t you get yourself checked out at the hospital?”

Still, Logan was in a good mood, so he didn’t want to argue with her. “Just get in the car.”

Right then, Lola stared at Logan and contemplated for a moment before finally entering his car. When Logan started driving, Lola asked, “Why are you here again? Didn’t you just come over yesterday? Your odd behavior is really scary right now.”

However, Logan had already prepared an excuse. “I just wanted to ask about the shadow bank’s progress. Did you manage to reach an agreement after the discussion with John previously?”

Although Lola and John did discuss many things previously, she could vaguely feel that John was still hiding something from her, but she didn’t know if it was because he didn’t trust her or he just didn’t want to tell her about it.

Right then, Lola asked, “Are you here to snoop around? Can’t you just ask John instead? Aren’t you two pretty close?”

Then, Logan grasped onto the first part of what she said and retorted, “How could you excuse me for snooping around when I was the one mediating between you two?”

Before Lola could say anything, Logan continued again, “I haven’t seen John because he had been busy recently, so I was thinking that it doesn’t matter who I ask between you two.” Then, he went on, “Have you guys established a goal yet? Like, when will you guys capture everyone working for the shadow bank and end it once and for all? Also, is it possible to lure out the main perpetrator behind this?”

Lola couldn’t tell for sure, but her intuition told her that there was one powerful mastermind behind everything. However, from what John told her, she could sense that he was trying to say that the shadow bank involved many investors and there wasn’t anyone calling the shots. Therefore, they would be able to end the shadow bank once they managed to capture everyone.

Lola briefly summarized everything for Logan while he drove them to a breakfast spot. The two of them entered the shop upon arrival.

To be honest, Logan rarely had breakfast outside. To be more concise, he rarely ate breakfast. Logan was different from many in the sense that he was always sleeping when others were having their breakfast, while Lola on the other hand, had a good sleep schedule. After settling down, Lola greeted the breakfast place’s owner and ordered some buns and milk, along with two sets of toast and sunny-side up.

The owner of the place obviously knew Lola as he served them cheerfully and greeted her as Officer Lola. However, Lola suddenly looked shy. “I’m not an officer anymore, so you shouldn’t call me that.”

Still, the owner placed their breakfast on their table and exclaimed, “What’s wrong with it? Although you’re not an officer anymore, you still helped us out. Uniform or not, it doesn’t really matter. Moreover, I’m already used to calling you that.”

Logan glanced at Lola from the side. He never knew that Lola was so popular.

After the owner left, Lola explained, “Remember when a customer was robbed, and I went out after the snatch thief? It happened here.”

Logan finally caught onto what Lola was saying a while later. Sometime back then, Lola chased after a motorcyclist gang to snatch a bag back and ended up sustaining injuries.

Logan chuckled right then as his face remained indifferent. “I should just address you as Justice Woman Hunt in the future.”
