Logan was surrounded by a few women and judging from the way they dressed, they seemed like regulars in the bar. Logan looked delighted, happily joking and flirting with those women.
On the contrary, John wasn’t in a good mood and felt agitated just looking at the crowd. With a long face, he went over and got a glass of wine from the bartender. Then, he turned to look at Logan. “Have you been waiting long?”
Before Logan could answer, a woman beside him leaned over. She held a wine glass and said with a smile, “Oh look, another handsome man came. A friend of Young Master Jefferson’s, I presume.”
John dodged to the side, not letting the woman make contact. Jokingly, Logan asked, “You’re finally here, John. What’s wrong? You don’t look happy.”
John let out a breath while looking at that woman. “What perfume are you wearing?” He looked mad when he asked that question and those with any sense would definitely understand what he meant. Therefore, Logan laughed and said to that woman, “Mr. Constance is not just anybody. He only uses high-end products so he can’t stand your cheap perfume.” Then, Logan waved at the women and said, “All of you shall go. Honestly, my head’s spinning from the stench.”
The women exchanged an awkward look and turned to leave unhappily. Logan then took a sip of wine and asked, “What’s with the angry face? Who offended you?”
John took a sip of wine too and answered in a dull voice, “No one offended me.” He was just annoyed at himself. On the way here, he had actually calmed down. He hadn’t figured out why he did that to Sophia just now and was weirded out by his actions.
Logan, on the other hand, had no idea what had happened so he just made a wild guess. “How is Sophia? Is she in a bad state?”
“She’s fine. Perhaps she’s just a little worn out but I’m sure she’ll be fine after resting,” John replied casually.
Logan then said, “I see. I thought that you had a quarrel with Sophia judging from your expression.”
John froze for a beat before turning to look at Logan. Is it that obvious? After that, Logan continued to joke, “Sophia is a good girl. You should cherish her, John. I actually heard some rumors about both of you but seeing that you two get along quite well, I bet that those are just ungrounded rumors.” Logan then raised his hand and rested it on John’s shoulder. “I’ll just come right out and say it: Sophia is truly an adorable girl, especially her personality. If you let her go, she’ll be snatched in no time.”
After staring at Logan for a while, John said, “Ian and Sophia seem to get along very well. They always…”
Hearing John mentioning Sophia and Ian, Logan cut him off with laughter. “I know right? I guess you could tell too, huh? Honestly, I feel that way as well, so I can’t help feeling jealous because Sophia obviously treats Ian better than she does me.”
John decided not to say anything. Meanwhile, Logan finished his wine and asked the bartender for a refill. After a burp, he turned to look at John. “What did you and Sophia do today? I couldn’t find the both of you anywhere, and Ian and I were left waiting at the clubhouse the whole day.”
John looked down and didn't reply. After all, the matters that happened within the Constance Residence weren't worth relating and it wasn’t a big deal. Thankfully, Logan didn’t probe further. After a few seconds, he continued to say, “You seem to be a bit off today.”
This time, John replied, “You think so too?” He was indeed feeling off and even he knew it himself.
