Who Knew My Assigned Mechanic Husband Was a Big Shot? novel Chapter 122

"I've been around the block a few times. Your little secrets can't escape my eyes."

Logan offered a faint smile, but within moments, the light in his gaze dimmed.

Beatrice couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you? Looking so torn."

"Sloane doesn't seem happy with my career," Logan replied. "She wants me to live a stable, quiet life."

"Oh? Is that so?"

"She tried to talk me into quitting this morning."

Beatrice cast a disparaging look at her grandson. "And she was absolutely right to do so. Your line of work is undeniably dangerous. Once you return to the base, you'll constantly be separated. I told you ages ago not to go back. Stay here—you have everything you could ever want. Wouldn't it be nice to take over the company for me when you have the time?"

"I still have unfinished business, Beatrice. You know that," Logan said softly.

Beatrice sighed heavily. "Have it your way. If you head back to the base, I'll take care of Sloane for you."

"How about I set up a dinner for the two of you to meet tonight?" Logan suggested.

"Just bring her to the house."

Logan considered it for a moment before shaking his head. "No, that won't work. She doesn't know anything about our family background yet. Bringing her straight here might be too overwhelming for her. Let's just go to a restaurant. No big events this time, just the three of us."

"Alright, you pick the place."

Remembering how Sloane had mentioned she had a grandmother with Alzheimer's, Logan couldn't help but laugh again.

"What's so funny?"

"I'm just imagining the absolute shock on Sloane's face when she finally meets you," Logan said.

"She might be a little shocked, but I'm sure she'll be thrilled!" Beatrice said, brimming with confidence.

By the afternoon, Sloane still had zero work assigned to her.

Director Thorne hadn't summoned her, and the colleagues around her avoided speaking to her.

Everyone was bustling around, while she alone was left idle.
