However, regardless of Elder Mr. Bailey’s expression back then, John didn’t say anything because he knew he was in the wrong.
The next time he met Elder Mr. Bailey was during their business collaboration, and the latter would always be snobbish during their work discussions.
To be honest, John really disliked Elder Mr. Bailey, but he couldn’t say much since the latter was a respected veteran in the business world after all.
However, Logan didn’t care about all these and got excited when he heard what Old Mrs. Constance said and turned toward her. “Oh my! It seems like Elder Mr. Bailey gave you guys a bad impression as well, aye. Me too! I really can’t stand that man. I mean, none of us are worse than him, but I’ve never met anyone as arrogant as him!”
Old Mrs. Constance laughed. “It’s possible because Elder Mr. Bailey got used to everyone around him praising him as he was a resolute young man that managed to become successful.”
It was normal for this to become a habit after it went on for more than ten years.
Moreover, Elder Mr. Bailey’s sons had been flattering and coaxing him just to get his assets.
With everyone around him wheedling him, it was an understatement that he would be arrogant.
However, Logan harrumphed. “Doesn’t he have some self-consciousness to still believe those fake words when he’s already so old? If he runs into me, I’ll surely humiliate him! Let’s see how he can continue with his act any longer.”
Right then, Sophia came out from the kitchen and started laughing when she heard Logan. “Who are you to humiliate everyone? But, Logan, I feel like you might even be worse than Elder Mr. Bailey when you’re older.”
Logan immediately glared at Sophia when he heard her. “How dare you accuse me?! I’m way better than that old fart, and I’m sure that I’ll be a funny and interesting old man in the future!”
Sitting next to Old Mrs. Constance, Sophia leaned back on the couch. “I’m more curious about who you’ll marry in the future.”
Well, well. Here comes the same topic again. Logan grinned. “Sophia Gwendolyn, you’re too nosy for your own good.”
However, Sophia still nodded. “Don’t you know that all women are nosy?”
Logan paused right then. He really didn’t know that fact because the only other woman that he contacted the most besides Sophia was Lola.
Still, Lola wasn’t nosy, as she was never interested in other people’s lives.
Besides being willing to investigate those that broke the law, she really wasn’t interested in anything else.
Considering how different Lola was from other women, it was possible that she was the odd one out.
Now that they were back on this topic, John got curious and suggested, “Since none of us have met your girlfriend, why don’t you ask her to come over if she’s free tonight so that we can get to know her?”
At that moment, Logan hesitated.
If he asked Jasmine to come over to have dinner with everyone, it would mean that their relationship was official, but he couldn’t help but feel like he wasn’t ready for that yet.
Suddenly, Sophia blinked and laughed. “Let’s not do that. I feel like I still want to have a meal with Miss Hunt first. Since you’ve been getting along well with Miss Hunt lately, I’m sure you can ask her out for a meal together?”
Logan didn’t hesitate to go along with her idea. “Sure. What about this? Since John wanted to talk to her about the shadow bank, I’ll ask her to come over for dinner with us tonight, and Sophia will get to meet her as well. That would kill two birds with one stone.”
However, Logan suddenly recalled Lola rejecting his invitation for dinner this morning.
