Sophia kept the smile on her face because she was an educated lady. “Ah, my husband has a
business dinner to attend today. In fact, I didn’t want to come here because this is your private dinner,
so I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to be here. However, Logan insisted that I should tag along,
saying that it wasn’t a formal dinner.”
Third Young Lady Jefferson was startled by what Sophia said.
She took a look at Logan, who was smiling at Sophia like a fool.
Then, she shifted her attention to Sophia, who was confident and unflustered.
In that instant, she heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that finally, someone was able to deal with her
younger brother, who had been a headache for the family.
Old Mr. Bailey smiled faintly and fell into silence.
Third Young Lady Jefferson mumbled, “Indeed, this isn’t a formal dinner. It’s wonderful that you’ve
joined this private dinner.”
Her words had upset the Baileys because she didn’t seem to have any regard for them.
Sophia smiled and said thanks.
Since everyone was there, a waiter came in and put down the menus.
Afraid that Sophia would be bored, Logan kept introducing the dishes to her.

Sophia casually ordered two dishes and put down the menu.
After that, Third Young Lady Jefferson gazed at Old Mr. Bailey and said, “I heard that the Baileys have
formed a business partnership with the Constances. Congratulations.”
Old Mr. Bailey laughed and explained, “This partnership is a win-win situation. We’re facing an
economic downturn now, therefore we have to partner up with the equals to defend our market share.”
There was obviously a hidden message in his words.
Smiling, Third Young Lady Jefferson nodded and said yes. It wasn’t certain whether she agreed with
what Old Mr. Bailey had said.
Not understanding any of these, Logan kept chatting with Sophia.
With a lowered voice, he asked Sophia whether John really had to attend a business dinner.
In fact, Sophia wasn’t certain whether John was going to do something else, although he claimed that
he had to attend a business dinner.
Logan took out his phone and hid it under the table. “Why don’t I send him a message and ask him
about it?”
Not minding it, Sophia shrugged. “Whatever.”
Giggling, Logan sent John a message with his phone under the table and said, “What did you do
today? I had wanted to look for you in the afternoon because I was bored.”
Sophia placed her hand on the table to support her chin and tilted her body toward Logan. With a
smiling gaze, she replied, “I wouldn’t have time for you even if you came to look for me. I went to the
shop this afternoon. The renovation will commence soon.”
“Oh, that’s quick.” Logan continued, “Do you need my help? If you don’t understand anything, just
inform me, and I’ll settle it for you.”
Sophia burst into laughter upon hearing that. Unlike the rumors about him, Logan was actually a naive
man.
Then, she said gently, “There’s no need. I’ll look for John when there’s a problem. You’re my trump
card, which should be reserved for the most critical moments.”
Although she was apparently teasing him, Logan was genuinely happy. “Alright, since you have said
so, just call me if you want to do anything in the future. I promise that I’ll support you with my money
and power.”
Sophia stared at him for a while and curled her lips. “Sure, don’t forget about your promise.”
Logan suddenly changed the topic and said cheekily, “Sophia, please be honest with me. Do you have
any sisters that you can introduce to me?”
Sophia’s expression turned dark immediately, and she said regrettably, “I just thought that you had
become decent. Look, you can’t even keep the pretense on for one minute.”
