Logan cursed Lola and tossed his phone to the passenger’s seat. At that moment, he wanted to go home directly. However, after giving it a thought, he didn’t think he should just leave like this. More than ten minutes later, he picked up his phone and called her one more time.
This time, Lola answered the call and asked in an indifferent voice, “What’s the matter?”
Suppressing his anger, Logan questioned, “Why didn’t you pick up my call? Were you not at home?”
Lola replied, “Oh, I was taking a bath, so I didn’t know you were calling.”
After taking a deep breath, Logan asked, “What have you been up to for the past two days?”
Lola laughed in a mirthless manner. “What’s wrong? Why are you looking for me?”
Hearing that, Logan was lost for words. Why am I looking for her? There’s nothing important actually. After a pause, he inquired, “Is there new information regarding the shadow bank? Have you found out whose bone it belonged to?”
Putting down her phone, Lola went on to do her thing and muttered, “I never asked them about it because I’ve been swamped for the past few days.”
With his interest piqued, Logan inquired, “Oh? What have you been up to?”
Unwilling to reveal this to him, Lola questioned, “Why are you asking so much? What does it have to do with you?”
At her mocking questions, Logan could only put on a hollow laugh. “It’s because I’m worried about you. You live on your own, therefore I’m afraid that if one day your enemies come to kill you, no one will even discover your corpse.”
Lola snorted. “That’s none of your concern.” After a halt, she continued, “Well, don’t worry. I won’t be alone soon.” She had wanted to show off to Logan, but after she finished talking, she felt somewhat bashful.
