Logan seemed to be talking about irrelevant topics. He even brought up the two students in Jasmine’s class who were from good families and had good looks.
What does that have to do with him? Sophia felt that Logan had lost his composure after having a new girlfriend. This was probably why he became worse at expressing himself.
She listened to his rambling patiently until he suddenly exclaimed in a hurry, “I have to hang up now! Something’s up.”
Not only did he start the call fast, he ended it even faster. The moment he finished his sentence, the line went dead.
Sophia clutched her phone and burst out laughing. Shaking her head at his behavior, she placed her phone down.
On the other end, after ending his call with Sophia, Logan immediately picked up another call and his tone instantly changed. Smiling, he gently asked, “What’s up? Are you asking me for a favor again?”
Lola sighed on the other side. “I do have a favor to ask you.”
She sounded quite frustrated and helpless, to which he said with a chuckle, “Tell me, what happened?” The day has finally come when this girl comes to me for help!
After some hesitation, she carefully asked him, “My place is leaking and my kitchen is now flooded. I wonder if you could head over to help me out?”
Logan did not even bother to ask for the details and instantly agreed to it. “Sure. Wait for me. I’ll be there soon.”
Then, Lola hung up and stood at the kitchen entrance, staring at the pools of water on the kitchen floor.
Until now, she had no idea what happened. Not only was the drain clogged, her pipes had burst as well. The rising water in the kitchen looked murky. It was a truly unlucky day for her.
She had been dealing with it for a while. Now, she stood impatiently at the kitchen entrance with her hands on her waist.
Thankfully, Logan showed up soon, but he was not alone. Since he was tipsy, he could not drive and had to be driven over by a subordinate of his.
When Lola opened her door, she looked as if she had met her saviors. “Quick, get in. It’s good to have two of you. Please take a look at my kitchen.”
Logan did not have to move at all; his subordinate promptly went into the kitchen to deal with the problem.
As for Lola, she went back to stand at the kitchen entrance. She told him that she had not cooked for a few days and had wanted to clean up the kitchen on this day, only to find the drain clogged. All the water she drained then rose up again.
After that, the pipes burst when she was turning the tap, and water sprayed all across the area.
Logan inched closer to take a look and concluded that her kitchen was indeed a total mess. At the sight of it, he clicked his tongue and turned around to stare at the disheveled-looking Lola. “Have you finally realized that you’re not Wonder Woman?”
She scratched her head, still feeling irritated at the mess. Next, she took a look at Logan and asked, “Did you drink?”
In response, he grunted and immediately lowered his head to sniff himself. “Is it obvious?”
He reeked of alcohol from head to toe, and his cheeks were flushed. Even without smelling him, one could tell that he had been drinking just by observing his face.
Lola hesitated for a bit before asking, “Were you with your girlfriend? Did I interrupt you?” Before he could answer, she quickly added, “I don’t have any close friends who could rush over at night. I really had no choice but to call you for help.”
Logan hurriedly waved his hand. “No, I was drinking with my friends. We were about to leave when I received your call.”
Clearly, he was making things up. The truth was that he had been drinking alone at the clubhouse in frustration.
The guy who came with Logan was a well-rounded person. After his quick diagnosis of the situation, he told Logan that he would clear the drain and repair the pipe. It did not seem to be a major issue at all.
