Who Knew My Assigned Mechanic Husband Was a Big Shot? novel Chapter 180

Sloane remained completely silent.

Logan had already tried explaining this to her multiple times.

Flynn sighed softly. "Ma'am, I really think you should give the boss a chance. He's genuinely one of the best men I've ever met. You know what they say—don't judge a man by the pretty words he says, judge him by the work he puts in."

Sloane's heart gave a violent tremor, and she stared at Flynn.

Assuming he had massively overstepped his bounds, Flynn quickly backpedaled. "I'm so sorry, ma'am, I know I talk way too much. It's just... I've watched him tie himself in knots over you. He obsesses over every little detail. That MP3 player? And that specific song, *Always on My Mind*? He drove all the way into town just to find that exact track for you."

"And the night you fell off the dock? He dove straight into the freezing water without a second thought. When he climbed out, his entire back was purple from slamming against the rocks. He'd never admit that to you, but if he didn't already love you, he never would have played that ridiculous 'repaying a debt' card."

His entire back was purple?

A sharp, agonizing squeeze clamped down on Sloane's heart.

"I'm just saying, given the kind of man the boss is, he'd rather die than disrespect you. He takes incredible care of all his men, so you can only imagine how he'll treat the woman he loves."

Sloane nodded slowly, her throat tight. "I know."

Logan was, without a doubt, a truly good man.

It was just...

If some random woman had pulled his name from that fishbowl at the Civil Affairs Bureau, would he have treated her with the exact same devotion?

The thought sent a cold, creeping chill straight down her spine.

Maybe she was just being impossibly greedy.

"Sarah, you have to tell me—who is the woman staying in Major Lennox's apartment?!"

Watching Director Sarah Miller carry yet another tray of fresh food toward the stairs, Mrs. Brenda Gable finally snapped and demanded answers.

Sarah leveled a withering glare at the base's biggest gossip. "How is that any of your business?"

"Is it Danielle Ziegler?"

"Keep your mouth shut!" Sarah snapped, her patience gone. "Do you literally have nothing better to do than obsess over other people's private lives?"

"Oh, I was just asking! No need to bite my head off, hehe."

Brenda was furious that she couldn't sneak past security to the seventh floor. If she could, she'd glue her eyeball to Logan's peephole to see exactly who the mysterious woman was!
