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?”
Lola stared at him for a good while before nodding. “Alright, I trust you.”
It was rare that she demonstrated trust in him, but Logan couldn’t muster up a shred of elation. He merely pressed his lips together tightly and gave her a half-smile.
Thereafter, the food was served. While eating, neither spoke much. Lola merely asked him what she needed to prepare for the birthday celebration in the very beginning. However, Logan wasn’t sure about the details either, so he suggested meeting up with John some time to discuss the matter. They only exchanged a few words throughout the meal, so the rest of the time was spent in silence.
During the meal, Jasmine sent Logan a message—a selfie of her eating out.

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...
