Logan retrieved his phone, but instead of giving Lola a call, he sent her a text. He informed Lola to go to the Constance Residence when she had time, as they needed to talk through their final plans during Ernest’s upcoming birthday celebration.
Although Lola never answered his calls, she replied to his text. Agreeing to the idea, she asked when he would be there before telling him that she would go there by cab. Logan then replied, ‘We can go there now.’
Lola’s following text came through after a while, informing him that she would be leaving in a minute. Upon receiving her text, Logan drove away to go to the Constance Residence. If things were as per before their skirmish, he would gladly phone Lola to tell her to hitch a ride with him, or would wait till she came downstairs. However, he no longer felt like going to such lengths to accommodate her.
Sophia was still napping when Logan arrived at the mansion, but he didn’t let the servants wake her up. Instead, he chose to watch TV in the living room downstairs. Lola arrived after a while, but it was before Sophia woke up. Upon entering the living room, Lola was startled by Logan’s presence, as things were still awkward between them after their skirmish. Standing at the entrance, she murmured, “Are you the only one?”
Logan cast her a glance before averting his gaze. Letting out a hum, he told her, “Sophia is still sleeping, so we’ll have to wait. I already gave John a call, so he’ll be here in a bit.”
Nodding her head, Lola was feeling rather uneasy, so she sat down on the sofa that was furthest away from him after giving the situation some thought. Since Logan didn’t initiate a conversation, neither did Lola have anything to tell him, so the two of them sat in silence.
