As such, she cleaned up and went to the shop to monitor the progress. It so happened that Zack was there too. Unaware of what had happened, he was shocked when he saw Sophia. “You didn’t even bother to conceal the dark circles under your eyes?”
Sophia took out the sunglasses from her bag. “How about this? Can you still see the dark circles?”
Zack laughed. “What’s wrong? What sneaky things did you do last night, causing yourself to be in such a mess?”
Sophia sighed. “Nothing. I just didn’t sleep well.” She really didn’t feel like explaining the details. Fortunately, Zack didn’t probe her further.
The both of them stood at the door, listening to the noises from the work of the renovation workers. After a while, Sophia took her phone out and noticed she had received a message on WhatsApp. It was from Ian, asking if she was feeling better. Sophia quickly replied that she was fine.
Ian then replied saying that he would be going to Logan’s and he invited her along. Looking at the time, Sophia accepted his invitation since there wasn’t any serious problem in the renovations and the progress even seemed fast. Even if she stayed, there was nothing she could do to help out.
After informing Zack, Sophia took a taxi to Logan’s. However, Logan was still sleeping soundly in the clubhouse’s room. The staff of the clubhouse recognized Sophia so once she arrived, the staff quickly informed Logan. Half asleep, Logan walked out from the room. This time, he didn’t even wear his pajamas, walking out half naked, his hair messy. His eyes were half opened and he stared at Sophia for a long time before recognizing her. “Oh, it’s you, Sophia.”
Sophia was rather disgusted by how he looked. “Logan, what did you do last night? Why do you look like you’ve been tortured?”
Logan clicked his tongue and said, “You must be joking. I’ll always be the one torturing the others.” Bare-footed, he went to sit on the sofa in the corridor, completely unaware that he looked indecent now. He then leaned back. “John is truly a b*stard. To be honest, I only realized it now.”
Sophia was stunned, feeling confused as to why the topic had suddenly changed to John. Even so, she promptly agreed. “He’s indeed a b*stard.”
Logan sighed. “I was drunk yesterday and lost consciousness so he hailed a taxi and sent me back alone. He didn’t even take care of me. What if something happened to me on the way back? How can he not worry about that?”
However, Sophia’s focus wasn’t on that and she looked at Logan while asking, “Did the both of you go out for a drink yesterday?”
Logan replied, “Yeah, we went to a bar. I can’t drink as much as him so I collapsed on the spot. Yet, he didn’t even bother to send me home himself.”
Sophia smiled. “Do you remember what time you came home yesterday?”
Obviously, Logan couldn’t remember but the clubhouse wasn’t closed at that time and he was supported into his house by the doorman. So, he beckoned the doorman over and asked him. Fortunately, the doorman clearly remembered the time. “It was around 10 at night, definitely before 11.”
Sophia smiled lightly, her eyes sparkling. It made her look even more lively than usual. However, the laugh that rang out was cold. That meant John and Logan went to have a drink at the bar last night but Logan blacked out early. However, John put Logan in the taxi alone to send him back while he went to have fun after that. Slowly, Sophia nodded, thinking that it wasn’t bad news. In fact, she started to look forward to what the media would report. Could they really capture evidence that John had an affair?
Meanwhile, Logan wasn’t aware of her thoughts at all. After staring at Sophia for some time, he said, “Since you’re free today, I’ll call Ian over while you call your man. Then, we can finally play a game of four.”
