After thanking him, John and Sophia slowly walked toward the office. When they were almost there, they simultaneously softened their steps, both harboring some diabolical intentions.
Meanwhile, Lola was indeed in the office with Logan, who was still beleaguered by the incident on the previous day. While she was reviewing performance appraisal forms, he continued condemning ‘that old geezer’ from the Bailey Family, saying that ‘the old coot’ lost his grandson because he never did any good.
Then, he also claimed that the fact that ‘the old coot’ had committed every imaginable evil accounted for the many flaws in his son’s depraved plan. In short, he enumerated all of the misfortunates that had befallen the Baileys recently, linking everything to Elder Mr. Bailey’s egregious character and insisting that it was all his fault that the entire Bailey Family collapsed.
When Lola was done reviewing a form, she looked up at him in exasperation. “Can you just zip it? Why are you wagging your tongue like a dog? I’m having a headache from your incessant prattling.”
His voice abruptly ceasing, Logan pursed his lips. “Don’t you think he’s incredibly vexing? Don’t you think he deserves what he got? And don’t you think he should go to hell?”
At the end of her patience, Lola lifted a leg and kicked Logan who was across from her. “Stop talking.” He’s been prattling on from morning until now!
Logan stared at her. “You’re too violent. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll change my mind about you if you bully me like this?”
What the hell?! Snatching up a folder, Lola swung it at him. “Behave! If you continue being so nauseating, I’ll kick you out!”
