It was a call from Jasmine. Logan didn’t avoid her either, taking the call right away. On the other end, Jasmine asked him out for dinner, her voice cheerful. Logically speaking, it stood to reason for them to have dinner tonight. After all, Logan gave her flowers at noon, so it was standard operation for a normal couple to have a date at night. However, since she’d waited for his phone call the entire day to no avail, she could only take the initiative to phone him.
Logan’s brows unconsciously furrowed. “Tonight? I don’t think I can make it since I’m otherwise occupied.”
Jasmine paused for a heartbeat. “With a very urgent matter?”
Logan grunted, “Yes. It’s a very urgent matter, so I can’t make it tonight.”
Actually, it was rather obvious that Jasmine was a touch disappointed. Sighing lightly, she replied, “Never mind, then. I’ll leave you to it. We’ve got plenty of time, so we’ll just go out another time.”
Without saying anything superfluous, Logan hung up in short order.
Lola stole a glance at him out of the corner of her eye. Although there wasn’t a hint of guilt in his expression, she felt very much ill at ease. For some reason, she felt perturbed that he declined his girlfriend’s dinner invitation to have dinner with her instead. It feels as though I’m doing something wrong here.
At long last, Logan’s car came to a stop in front of a private restaurant. The two of them entered together and went to a private room. After he’d ordered and the server had gone out, he turned his gaze on her.
His expression was exceedingly solemn, making Lola feel unsettled all of a sudden. Thus, she blurted, “What exactly is the matter? Say something. What’s the meaning of you staring at me so intently?”
