John expressed his gratitude while facing Lola, which she responded to with a smile. “I’m not only doing it for you, as I also wish to uncover the mastermind.”
After giving a nod, John reminded Lola that employers from other companies might also greet her during the occasion. His request was that she remained calm if that happened, as he would do his best to fend them off. Aside from that, he also told Lola to prioritize her own safety before everybody else’s in case of an emergency. Lola understood all of those, as she already ran through multiple possible scenarios and their respective countermeasures during the past few days.
As soon as they were finished with the discussion, Sophia inquired Lola about her relationship with her boyfriend. Twirling his gaze, Logan stole a glance at Lola. With a smile on her face, she answered, “It’s alright, and as normal as can be. We don’t really have a thrilling or romantic story to tell.” It was to be expected as both Lola and her boyfriend were no longer young. In fact, they were way past that age.
What she said reminded Logan of the takeaway they ordered during their lunch date. It seemed to prove just how practical they were, all the while being painfully unromantic. Meanwhile, Sophia nodded before looking toward Logan. “Logan, how are things going with your girlfriend?”
Pulling her lips into a thin line, Lola made a point to not look at Logan while maintaining a serious expression.
“We broke up yesterday.” Logan spoke in such a nonchalant manner that it caught Sophia unawares.
