Everyone was taken aback when they heard Logan’s ringtone. Third Young Lady Jefferson glared at him, but Sophia was the first to scold him, “You’re giving me a heart attack! Change your ringtone right now! I thought there was an invisible tv somewhere in this room!”
Logan burst into laughter and grabbed his phone. “Alright, I’ll change it. I was surprised that you would be shocked at it. I’ll change the ringtone later. For now, I need to take this call.”
He looked at the screen and gasped, “Look, it’s a call from John.”
Sophia paused, and the Baileys looked at her. Logan quickly turned on the speaker for the call. “Hey, John, are you done with your event?”
John replied, “Yeah. Are you not done yet?”
Logan laughed loudly. “Nah. We’re still happily eating. So, you’re free to go now? Do you want to come over for another round with us?”
Sophia met Third Young Lady Jefferson’s eyes, and they smiled at each other. They could hear some noise from the other side of the call that sounded like the driver asking John to get into the car.
Then, everyone heard the sound of the car door closing, followed by John’s voice. “I’ll go over to pick her up. It’s getting late.”
Sophia lifted a brow and curled her lips after hearing that. Not feeling embarrassed at all, she responded via Logan’s phone, “Honey, I’ll be waiting for you here.”
Sophia did not feel embarrassed at all after her bold display of affection. Logan drew a sharp breath and joked, “Gosh, look at you two! Geez, please hang up and get a room already.”
On the other side, John did not say anything else and ended the call. Logan clutched his phone and proceeded to change his ringtone obediently as per Sophia’s order.
Old Mr. Jefferson beamed beside them. “John treats you really well. Before this, you have never shown up at events as a couple, and everyone was gossiping about your marriage. But from the looks of it, both of you are getting along really well in private.”
