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

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!”
Logan snorted but said nothing else.
At the door, Sophia grinned. John, on the other hand, shook his head in mild disbelief.
I’ve known him for years, but I’ve never seen him behaving so shamelessly despite the infrequent contact between
us. I’ve truly gotten a new understanding of him. Upon seeing that the chatter inside had ceased, Sophia went over
to the door and knocked on the glass door a few times. When Lola caught sight of her upon lifting her head, she
stood up at once. “You’re here?” Sophia pushed open the door and walked in, slightly at a loss as to how she should
couch her words. “I didn’t know whether I should come in since I heard all those things Logan said at the door, but
since I’m here, I can’t just double back, no? So, I decided to come in and greet you.” At the side, Logan’s face

flushed in a rare moment of embarrassment. He’d never acted this shamelessly toward someone else in front of
John and Sophia, so he felt somewhat mortified. Twisting his head to the side, he gave a light cough. “Well, what
kind of behavior was that? Who’d eavesdrop on people’s conversations at the door?” Sophia hurriedly went over to
him and leaned close to his face. “You’re blushing, Logan! Ah, this is remarkable! Logan actually has some shame in
him!” Her voice was a touch exaggerated. Logan shot her a glare. “Sophia Gwendolyn, I’ve doted on you for
nothing, you ungrateful wretch!” Sophia roared with laughter. “I’ve always wondered how you’ll behave with a girl
you fancy, and I’ve now finally gotten to witness it!” She initially planned to stay at Lola’s place the entire afternoon,
but she knew she couldn’t be a third wheel since Logan was here. Hence, she then left with John after chatting with
Lola for a bit.
