Lola said, “Logan Jefferson, you better tell me the truth. Are there any illegal projects going on here?”
Logan wanted to act silly and say no. But Lola’s expression was so serious as she kept staring at him. Perhaps it was due to Lola’s previous occupation, but her gaze was always sharp and penetrating. It was as if she could see through someone.
Thus, all the frivolous words that Logan was about to say were stuck in his throat. For some reason, he felt rather guilty under Lola’s gaze.
Lola strolled toward him. Standing in front of Logan, she leaned forward slightly to close the distance between them. “Are there any such projects? Speak up.”
Logan had never seen Lola from such a close distance before. To him, she was nothing but a tomboy, for when she put her jacket on, he couldn’t tell whether she was a man or a woman. But now, she was just one step away from him. As she inched closer, he could literally smell the faint fragrance of her shower gel from her body.
Now that Lola had put away her police uniform, she wore a ponytail and simple sports attire. Although she did not dress up nor put on exquisite makeup, she clearly looked like a woman.
Without any idea why his heart pounded so hard, Logan felt his entire body becoming a little unsteady.
In a flash, he backed away, his tone a little impatient. “Why are you so close to me?”
Lola stood up straight, still staring at him. “Just tell me if there are any more such projects. I hope you’ll tell me the truth.”
Snorting, Logan turned his back to Lola and walked toward the entrance. “I’ve always been doing honorable work. No, no, there is no illegal project here, understand?”

So what happens to Ian and Cindy. Is she/ or does she get pregnant? Do they go back to the city and Ian works with Logan? Does Aurora stay in the entertainment industry or return with Ian? Terrible ending, who cares if Aurora was drinking/drunk with colleagues. What happened with Ian and Cindy?!...
Get rid of Gary. Apparently Cindy is too dumb to figure out his motives 😡...
Why are you trying to break them up when they just got together and are a loving couple. Let them stay close and move back to their true friends, Logan, Lola, John and Sophia!...
Sure hope Ian pulls his head out of his behind and works this out with Cindy. His brother needs him at the company and neither one of them truly like the celebrity life. Sophia and Lola will love her …....
I can’t wait for John to take down the Bailey’s including Isabelle so he, Sophia, William and Matilda can live in peace. Introduce Yolanda to Richard so they are out of the picture....
Ugh, don’t break up Sophia and John… they belong together and Sophia is just stubborn for no reason...
Sophia lives John, he just needs to tell her he loves her and get on with their life and family. Too much interference from others....
Sophia is so stupid....
John needs to man up, tell his mother and Isabelle to take a flying leap and confess to Sophia that he made a horrible mistake in divorcing her. This story is taking too long and once again, the bitches are looking like they are on the right side. Awful...
