Logan looked at Zach sternly, making him scared.
“Oh, well, if you don’t want, I won’t let her come to your party, okay?”
“I haven’t said anything yet.”
“...” Zach looked at him. Obviously, Logan didn’t agree, but he didn’t admit or put the blame on him.
Zach knew his attitude and kept silent before leaving the office at once.
Elena happened to finish studying with Jacob. She raised her head and saw Zach coming out, “Done? So fast!”
“Humph!” Zach couldn’t help laughing, because he found what she said was a bit funny, like a pun. He walked towards her and said in a serious tone, “Elena, well, actually, I can last for long, and I will never be done.”
Elena rolled her eyes, meaning that she didn’t want to have a dirty talk with him.
Zach kept laughing, “Well, don’t take it seriously. I will stay in the countryside for a few days, and I will come back on his birthday.”
“Alright. Do whatever you want. But remember, don’t do something bad. OK?” Elena pouted.
Zach waved his hand to say goodbye and left.
As soon as Zach left, Daisy called Elena, asking her to go shopping together. She thought that she could buy gifts for Logan by the way. Elena knew what she wanted to do indeed, so she refused without hesitation.
Daisy didn’t give up, “Logan has asked you for the present. Don’t you plan to make it happen?”
“No!” She said in a firm tone, “If I do as he wants, it will be meaningless. I will give him a surprise.”
Daisy was curious, “Oh? You have a new idea?”
“Yeah.” Elena nodded shyly, murmuring.
“Tell me now! Then next time I can refer to your idea!” Daisy showed great interest in her plan and kept asking.
But Elena didn’t tell her, “You will know when the time is right. Well, it doesn’t really matter.”
“Really?” Daisy laughed in a cunning way. Something occurred to Elena, so she wanted to stop this conversation, “Well, I get something to do. I’ll call you later!”
After that, she hung up and hurried into the office.

Logan was in the office now. He was busy with work. When he heard the sound, he raised his head, “Why are you in a hurry?”
“Nothing, I just want to know if Zach is here!” She replied quickly and took a seat. A manuscript was under a large pile of documents. She had been working on it for a few days.
Seemingly no one had found it. She felt somewhat relieved. If it was seen, there wouldn’t be any surprise.
Logan raised his head and looked at Elena. The sunlight came through the window and shone on her, which made her look bright and shiny.
Elena put away the manuscript. When she raised her face, she found that Logan was staring at her. Her heart was beating fast when she looked into his eyes. The next minute, she walked to him. She just looked at him without saying a word for a while. Then she parted her lips, “Logan, I remember it is the payday today, isn’t it?”
“Yes.” Answering her, Logan didn’t know what she meant.
“Then...” She smiled in a cunning way, “Well, then what about my salary?”
