Pursing her lips, Sophia pondered for a moment. “What do you think I should say? The public opinion is going rather strongly, so I’m afraid that they’ll turn their sights on me when I speak up.”
After some contemplation, Ian suggested, “Why don’t you ask Lorraine? She probably knows what to say to make an airtight statement.”
Upon hearing this, Logan instantly nodded. “Wait a moment. I’ll give Lorraine a call and ask about it.” After saying that, he took out his cell phone and called Lorraine before placing it on the table on speakerphone.
Lorraine seemed to be rather swamped since they could hear someone else speaking in the background. Logan was extremely courteous while speaking to his sister, smiling as he asked, “Are you free now, Lorraine? I’ve got a question for you.”
On the contrary, Lorraine was very impatient with him, snapping, “Hold it until I’m done with work.” After saying that, she hung up right away.
A tad embarrassed, Logan chuckled dryly as he looked up at Ian and Sophia. “Lorraine is busy. She’s always busy, so it’s already a miracle that she answered my call.” Sophia and Ian shared a look, then lowered their heads and ate. Subsequently, Logan put away his cell phone awkwardly.
No one spoke during the rest of the meal. When they were done eating, Logan promptly cleared the table. Meanwhile, Sophia went over to the sofa and plopped down. Turning on the television, she then chortled. “Let me tell you guys something. I came to blows with Matilda today.”
Logan who was placing the tableware into the dishwasher in the kitchen rushed out upon hearing this. “Who did you come to blows with? Did you win or lose? And Matilda? Who’s Matilda?”
