Lorraine still had business to attend to, so she headed to her car after bidding Lola farewell.
Appearing a touch discomfited, Lola turned and looked at Logan. “Your sister must have misconstrued our
relationship, no?”
Logan guffawed. “Not at all!” In reality, he was rather embarrassed to admit that Lorraine had misunderstood their
relationship.
Lola rolled her eyes at him. “Alright, I’ve got to go back to work, so do see yourself off.” After saying that, she
whirled around and strode toward her gym.
All at once, chagrin gripped Logan. Calling out, he stalked after her. “You’re abandoning me after getting a free

Ignoring him, Lola continued striding forward.
When Logan had caught up to her, he raised his hand and placed it on her shoulder from behind, even pulling her
backward slightly to make her stop.
It might have been a reflex action on Lola’s part, or perhaps she’d long since harbored a grudge against him, but
unexpectedly, her hand swung back without even thinking about it and grasped his hand on her shoulder. Then, she
yanked him toward her before pivoting and pressing her knee against his abdomen.
Having never expected her to do such a thing, Logan was caught off guard, pinned hard to the ground by her knee.
The food he’d eaten earlier almost made an appearance, so he hurriedly bent at the waist and clutched his
stomach. “How f*cking dare you assault me, woman!”
Lola initially felt that she’d overreacted and opened her mouth to apologize, but the moment she heard the
profanity out of his mouth, she couldn’t help giving him a swift kick.
Again, Logan was unprepared, so he took the full brunt of her kick, stumbling back and falling on his butt. He glared
at Lola in front of him with astonishment written all over his face
The atmosphere was pretty amicable during lunch just now, so why did this woman suddenly get physical with me
after exiting the restaurant? Realizing that she’d been a bit too violent with him, Lola’s brows knitted together. This
might have something to do with my former profession. I was always dealing with extremely vicious people, so I’d
be in considerable danger if I were to hold back at times. Frankly speaking, I might also harbor a smidge of
aggravation against him. I’ve probably been hankering to put him in his place long ago! Standing before him, she

looked down at him expressionlessly. A few seconds later, Logan struggled to his feet by propping his hands on the
ground. “You must be unhinged, woman! Why did you suddenly get physical with me?” Lola grunted before
replying, “Just regard me as unhinged and stay away from me in the future.” After a moment’s deliberation, she
added, “I’m heavy-handed, and my aim always goes off the mark, so don’t approach me easily if you don’t want to
get hurt next time.” Grinding his teeth, Logan wanted to counter with some nasty remarks, but she spun on her
heels and strode toward the gym. Dusting himself off, he frowned heavily. Why did this woman get all hostile out of
the blue? I don’t believe I can’t win her over! The word ‘defeat’ doesn’t exist in my vocabulary! Clutching his
stomach, he rolled his shoulders. Then, he went after her again. Lola had two meetings with several fitness coaches
in the afternoon. The primary meeting was to discuss strategy for fitness packages since business was slow lately,
while the other meeting was to discuss whether to add a few gym equipment. Logan had no interest whatsoever in
all that, so he simply sought out a place for himself before lounging languidly.
