Upon ending the call, Logan turned to leave for the living room after a moment’s pause. Lola had finished her meal by then, so she cleaned the table before proceeding to do the dishes. After spending some time hanging around in the living room, Logan returned to the spot by the kitchen’s entrance.
With her back facing him, Lola had her hair tied up in a bun. Despite the fact that he couldn’t see her face, Logan couldn’t help but notice her poise and beauty. She came out from the kitchen after she was done with everything, whereas Logan checked the time. “I’ll be leaving now since you’re finished with everything.”
Meanwhile, Lola wished so badly for him to leave, so she said, “Yeah, I need to get some rest too.”
When they reached the door, Logan turned around as he seemed to have something that he would like to tell her. “Actually—”
However, she slammed the door in his face, not wanting to hear another word from him. Logan stared at the closed door for a while before smiling in a self-deprecating manner, eventually turning to walk toward the lifts.
Throughout his entire journey going downstairs in the lift, Logan couldn’t help but recall the sight of Lola washing the dishes. Although he was familiar with the sight of someone else busying themselves in the kitchen, as the servants in his house were doing so constantly, he never expected to find someone looking charming while doing so. Lola’s every move was a pleasant sight to behold, which gave rise to some wonderful feelings that sent his heart racing, as well as giving him the butterflies.
Sitting in his car, Logan wasn’t in a hurry to start the engine. Despite being generally slow in the uptake, he was still capable of understanding things to a certain extent if he gave them some thought, which was why he knew his feelings toward Lola were unconventional. He lit a cigarette before leaning back to puff on it.
