Lola was lounging in her office, for nobody was hitting the gym that early. Then Logan came in and placed the food
he bought on her table calmly.
Lola looked up at him, surprised. “What are you doing?”
“Breakfast.” Logan pulled a chair and sat down.
Lola already had breakfast on her way here, but she didn’t refuse Logan’s offer. He handed her a spoon and fork
before taking the lid off their boxes. Pursing her lips, Lola wondered if she should take it, and in the end, she

corner of his eye, Logan smiled.
They shared a quiet breakfast, and Logan went to throw the trash after they were done. Lola didn’t feel like working
that day, and the sentiment intensified after Logan’s appearance. Even so, she stared at the computer and
pretended to work.
When Logan came back to his seat, he asked, “Where’s your hometown anyway? Take me there when you have
time.”
Lola frowned slightly. “It’s just a dingy old place. I thought rich lads like you only live the high urban life.”
Logan clicked his tongue. “No, no, no. I love dingy old places. It’s where we’re closest to nature.”
Lola rolled her eyes. “You have too much time on your hands,” she retorted, and that uneasy feeling was finally
gone. Things had been awkward since the fight with Logan, but now that they were bickering like they used to, Lola
heaved a sigh of relief
And then Logan had to talk about Shawn. He asked Lola if she knew anything about Shawn’s love life, to which she
answered no. Lola’s love life was just a blank, and she never paid any attention to that, so she thought Shawn was
the same. Now that Logan had asked her about that, Lola realized that Shawn was that bit older than her, and

“I never did ask him about that. Thanks for asking me about it. I’ll see if I can get anything out of him.” Logan
nodded. “Yeah, you should. If you want to know what a man is like, look no further than his ex. It’ll tell you all about
him and the way he treats his girlfriend.” Lola made no comment on that, and Logan didn’t continue on this topic.
“You carry on with your work. I’ll just sit there quietly.” Then he moved his chair and scrolled his phone a few
meters away from her. Silence fell between them, but they didn’t feel the least bit awkward now. A while later, Lola
went through the payroll for that month. Her attention fully on the file, she didn’t notice Logan going out after a
while to take a call, then he came back in with a document in hand. Taking his seat, Logan crossed his legs and read
through the document facing her.
