Despite having said that he had nothing to tell them, Logan still mumbled, “Those scoundrels. One day I’ll teach them a harsh lesson.”
Hearing his words, Sophia chuckled. “I bet they’re waiting.” She then took a seat and said, “You went out for a long time. What happened?”
Logan took a seat as well and placed his arms on the table. “I was arguing with them, but nothing much happened.” After fixing those two annoying people, he was still grumpy.
Sophia fell silent and waited for him to speak. As expected, he went on, “Well, some people were making a scene at one of my places, so I went over to teach them a lesson.”
With her eyebrows raised, Sophia said, “I’m surprised that there are scoundrels bold enough to offend your people.”
Feeling uneasy, Logan took a look at her and smacked his lips. A moment later, he continued, “In fact, they didn’t dare offend my people. It’s just that something happened, so my people went to question them about it. Those scoundrels were arrogant, therefore I couldn’t stand it.”
Getting to the crux of the matter, Sophia asked with a smile, “What happened that you had to go over personally?”
In an instant, Logan was tongue-tied, while Sophia was staring at him with a faint smile. A while later, he replied, “Well, I just couldn’t take it and went over to settle the problem myself.” He was beating around the bush while scratching his head.
His embarrassed look amused Sophia. “Alright, I don’t understand what you mean, and I’ll stop asking. Tell me about it when you’re ready.” After a pause, she said, “We’re going to have a meal with Isabelle later. John will come over to pick us up.”
Her words surprised Logan. “Why has she invited you to a meal?”
Oh yes, Logan isn’t aware of the grudges between Isabelle and me. However, Sophia didn’t want to tell him about it, for it was she who provoked Isabelle first at the hospital. Also, it was pointless to tell him about the argument between two women. She then replied, “Maybe she’s just trying to be an eyesore to us. It’s no big deal. Just a meal.”
Logan pressed his lips together. “You have to be careful of that woman. Maybe she’ll drop some poison in the food.”
Sophia giggled and teased, “Perhaps I should bring with me some sort of poison detector.”
Glaring at her, Logan said, “I’m being serious. Be more vigilant, okay?”
Sophia nodded. “Alright. I got it.”
Just then, John called her to say that he had arrived, so she and Matilda rose and went downstairs.
Having become friends with Matilda, Logan stood in the doorway and said, “Madam Flintstone, please come here more often so that I can practice playing poker.”
Matilda grunted and got into the car. Rolling down the window, she replied, “If I come here more often, I’m afraid that you’ll lose this clubhouse to me eventually.”
Seated in the car, John grinned. “It seems that you had fun here.”
Sophia waved her hand at Logan and then clapped John’s shoulder. “Let’s go.”
When the car started moving, she replied, “We had fun indeed, but Logan was acting strangely today. If he never wore the gold chain on his neck, I would have suspected that he went to look for a woman.” Well, I guess no woman will understand his taste in fashion.
Her words amused John. After Matilda told him the address of the restaurant Isabelle had booked, John grunted. “She had informed me about it through a message as well.”
