Picking his cell phone up, Logan merely spared it a glance before exiting the application. He had no interest whatsoever in Jasmine’s dinner. She’s an adult, so she’s definitely eating something she favors. There’s no need for any concern.
When the two of them had finished eating, he drove Lola home. While en route, Jasmine called him again. It wasn’t anything serious on her part, for she merely wanted to inform him of her whereabouts like a normal couple, saying that she’d had dinner and was already home. Logan murmured in acknowledgment, at a loss for words. She then asked him what he was doing, to which he honestly replied that he was driving Lola home.
On the other end, Jasmine was stunned for a moment before confirming, “You had dinner with Miss Hunt tonight?”
Without even thinking about it, Logan admitted, “Yes. I had something to discuss with her.”
All at once, Jasmine went silent. Having no inclination of it being a sign that she was pissed off, Logan even commented, “You must be tired. Rest earlier, then. We’ll talk next time.” After saying that, he hung up.
Lola didn’t hear the other end of the conversation, nor could she find anything amiss from his expression, so she didn’t give it any thought. When the car came to a stop below her apartment, she opened the car door and climbed out, whereupon Logan did the same. The two of them then stood on either side of the car.
Seemingly having thought of something, Logan declared, “Don’t worry. I’ll ensure your safety and make certain that you come to no harm.”
Lola gave a bark of laughter. “I’ve never been afraid of danger.”
