Next One Is a Babe novel Chapter 679

He stared at John. “I’ve never seen you so happy. What’s the occasion?”

John glanced at Sophia, who was holding her glass quietly, pretending not to hear Logan’s question.

After Fabian was done with his order, he handed Logan the menu. “Make your order. You can talk about this later.” Logan grunted and was distracted by the menu. When the waiter came to take the menus back after their orders were done, Logan had already forgotten about what he wanted to ask.

He took a sip from his glass and turned to Lincoln, who was seated beside Robin. “You’re here too? Look at you two. What a lovely couple.”

Already used to talking with these bigshots, Lincoln smiled. “Well, I have nothing to do, so I came to see her.”

Robin pursed her lips and smiled sheepishly. “He came to help because I was busy.”

Logan clicked his tongue. “This is what a lady in love should look like. I’ve never seen her blush for anyone.” Then, he looked at Sophia. “She never did, did she?”

Sophia nodded. “Yeah. She never did, no matter who the suitor was.”

Robin scratched her head and chuckled, looking at John from the corner of her eyes. In response, John merely smiled without knowing anything. Robin sighed quietly. It’s fine this way. I suppose I’m fine with it as well.

Logan started complaining after he was done teasing Robin, and of course, it was about the Morgans. “Sally’s case is settled. She’s sued for intentional assault. The victim’s discharged, but from the results of her checkup, Sally’s going to be behind bars for months.”

John smiled. “Her anger got the better of her because she saw me.”

Logan gave him a thumbs up, then he talked about Ian. Lately, Sophia didn’t watch the competition Ian took part in. She wasn’t in her best condition these days, and because she didn’t know what to feel about Ian, Sophia stopped watching the show.

“The elimination round is starting next week,” Logan said. “The management’s decided who’s going to be kicked. Well, that’s the case for talent shows like this.” The management would decide the ones to be kicked in the early stage, leaving only a few popular ones in the endgame. The decision would be reached based on the audience’s reaction.

Logan was a simple man. He didn’t know about the complex relationship between John, Sophia and Ian, but even if he did, he didn’t think too much about it. Then, Logan told them about his phone call with Ian. From what he heard, Ian seemed to be upset, presumably because of the stress from the competition.

Sophia said nothing, while John pursed his lips.

Failing to read the room, Logan continued, “Ian’s usually the calm guy here, so I wonder what happened to him. He sounded upset when we talked. He even told me he wants to end this competition as soon as possible.”

Lincoln was also watching the show Ian was in, and he chimed in, “I think it’s going to end soon anyway. The production team paced it nicely. It’s fast-paced, and they don’t drag it on.”

Logan was delighted about Lincoln’s praise. “Quality over quantity, I always say. This is how you catch the audience’s attention.”

“Yeah. And I saw Ian too,” Lincoln continued. “He’s a natural, and most of the audience loves him.”

Overjoyed that someone was praising Ian, Logan made small talk with Ian.
