Burning with rage, Logan stood up straight and bellowed, “Alright! I understand what you mean now. If you think I’m useless here, I’ll leave this place to the two of you to talk all you want. I won’t care about this anymore!”
Despite what he had said, he simply walked away and slumped into a couch, apparently displeased.
John knew that Logan could be childish sometimes, hence he decided to ignore him. Meanwhile, Lola was totally oblivious to his feelings. Following that, they turned to face each other and went on with the topic.
After waiting for a bit, Logan was exasperated because none of them came to coax him. Unable to take it anymore, he coughed a few times loudly, but he was ignored again.
Just then, his phone started ringing. Upon checking the screen, he realized that Jasmine was calling him. After shooting a look at John and Lola, he picked up the call and said in a loud voice, “Yes, Jasmine. Why are you looking for me?”
In a vibrant voice, Jasmine replied, “Are you free this afternoon? Do you want to have lunch with me? Since you treated me to a meal yesterday, I think I should repay your favor. My colleague told me that there’s this nice barbeque restaurant, but it’d be weird if I go there alone. Do you want to go with me?”
Logan grunted in an abrupt manner and said, “Oh, you want to have lunch with me? Sure. I’m free this afternoon. Why don’t I go over to fetch you?”
Smiling sweetly, Jasmine said, “Okay. I’ll be waiting for you at the school entrance.”
After the call ended, Logan chuckled and rose from the chair. Then, he strode toward the other two and said, “Oh, I’m so sorry. As you can see, I have a date now, so I have to take my leave now.”
Lola gazed at him as though he was a clown because she had never wanted him to keep her company. Waving her hand, she said, “Go meet your girlfriend now. We don’t need you here anyway.”
