Next One Is a Babe novel Chapter 209

Logan snorted. "I don't think so. I hate people who are scheming yet pretend to be innocent on the surface. When I see such a woman, I want to hurl..."

Sophia burst into laughter; her impression of Logan had improved a lot.

While waiting for the food to be served, Sophia asked Logan if he knew what was going on with the Baileys. She had never come across them, so she didn’t know much about them. It was only recently that she met Isabelle Bailey a few times.

Logan didn't know their faces, but he knew their reputation very well, for he would play poker often, which was where he would often hear a lot of gossip.

"Elder Mr. Bailey is actually someone very impressive," he said. "He's the head of the Baileys right now, and he’s the one who calls all the shots. I heard that he holds John in high regards. He had once wanted to work together with the Constance Family, but…" Logan pursed his lips for a moment. "This old man is very cautious. My guess is that he wanted to wait for John and Isabelle to get married, then talk about working together. If they didn’t have this relationship to protect them, the Baileys wouldn't trust the Constances."

They were all old foxes in the business world, so they would naturally be cautious. However, it was just that Elder Mr. Bailey didn’t expect just when he was close to his goal, an unpredictable factor kicked in, changing the whole outcome. No one had expected that a figure like Sophia would suddenly appear halfway.

Sophia thought for a while. "But I think Elder Mr. Bailey seems very interested in working with the Constances."

Logan nodded his head. "He's indeed very interested. I heard that the old man went to the Constance Company some time ago."

That’s unusual, Sophia thought. Elder Mr. Bailey was someone who wanted nothing more than for everyone to kneel to him when they saw him, so this would probably be the first time that he had taken the initiative to go to someone else's company on his own.

Logan crossed his legs and shook the slipper on his foot. "My guess is that it's either the Bailey Corporation is having problems, or the Baileys themselves are having an internal problem, and the old man must be looking for a reliable partner. Naturally, the Constances, who owe the Baileys, are the best choice."

Sophia nodded, but she hadn’t actually understood the twists and turns of the matter. Nevertheless, it was fine even if she didn’t understand, for she only needed to butt heads with Isabelle if she saw her.

As they talked, the waiter opened the door and came in.

The first dishes served were sashimi and steamed seafood, as well as the fish ordered specially for Ian. They would have to wait a bit longer for the platter. However, because Sophia had ordered a lot, these dishes were enough for them to eat for a while.

Logan stood up and pushed the fish to Ian. "Come, this is what Sophia picked specially for you. Come on, eat up. We'll just look."

Sophia was smiling, but when the waiter left the door after serving the dishes, another person had appeared at the door.

Since Logan's back was to the door, he didn't notice it as he continued to tease Ian. "Sophia remembers what you like to eat. I'm really jealous."

John stood at the door, simply staring into the private room and the obvious smiles on Sophia and Ian’s face as they sat next to each other.

Logan was still oblivious, and he continued to tease Ian while smiling. “If Sophia wasn't already taken, I really would have thought the two of you were… Erhem…”

John's face was emotionless, and he didn't go inside.

After a few seconds, there were footsteps behind him. Then, Isabelle's voice came with the footsteps. "John, why aren't you going inside?"

John didn't look back, but when Isabelle said this, she succeeded in stopping Logan’s actions in the private room. Looking back at the person at the door with an unabated smile on his face, he said, "Oh, come in, come in. The food was only just served. Let’s have some food together."
