Chapter 179 Elena Caught it
The next day, as a surprise, Elena was about to cook for Logan again. Before she started, Mia came back with some ready food and soup. She put them on the table and said, “I bet you didn’t eat well these days. Here is some food for you. Come and have a try!”
“Mia, don’t worry! Logan can cook, and he cooks so well!” Elena said in an admiring tone!
Thanks to Logan, both of them were saved from starving these days when Mia was away and couldn’t cook for them.
After hearing this, Mia was so surprised, “He can cook?!”
“You don’t know?”
Mia shook her head, “I’ve never seen him cooking. I don’t know!”
Elena was stunned. He was good at hiding his secrets.
Mia didn’t stay for long since she needed to go back home to take care of her family. She left before Logan woke up. Elena deliberately showed the food to him, “Look, I made it!”
Logan looked at her with doubt. After taking a sip of the soup, he asked, “When did Mia come back?”
“How do you know!?”
He retorted, “Do you think you can lie to me successfully?”
Mia had cooked for him for nearly 20 years. How couldn’t he know about it?
Elena was unhappy, “You always got me. Are you trying to show off your intelligence?!”
“You can learn more from Mia. If you make improvements, I will praise you.”
She rolled her eyes immediately. Realizing that she indeed wasn’t good at cooking, she felt more depressed.
After breakfast, Logan suddenly mentioned, “Isn’t Sophia still looking for a job?” NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
“Yeah. She has sent her resume to dozens of companies but none of them replied. Why do you ask? Do you want to hire her?”
“No, but a friend of mine wants to. I wonder if Sophia is willing to have a try.”
Elena seemed to know “the friend”, and blurted out, “Is the friend Zach?”
Logan raised his brows. His expression told her that she was right.
She bit her lip, thinking for a while. And she said, “Well, I don’t think Sophia is willing to work for him. What’s more, Zach’s work is about investigation. I don’t think Sophia can help him with that, either. Or he is running new business…”
“He needs a housekeeper.”
Elena glanced at him, “You said that you wouldn’t help, right? What are you doing now?”
“I did. But I owe him this time and I get to repay him. I am afraid he can’t focus on his work if I don’t help him.” Logan said calmly.
Elena didn’t know their deal, so she felt even more confused. “How come you owed him? What did you do to him? Why don’t I know?”
Logan patted her head gently, “There are too many things you don’t know. Don’t worry about it. You will know when it’s time.”
He said that again.
Elena felt unhappy. But she could do nothing if Logan didn’t want to talk about it.
So, she decided to ask Zach herself and tricked him to tell her everything. She called Zach while Logan was talking with Jacob on the phone in the study.
“Elena?”
“Did Logan owe you something?” She didn’t beat about the bush.
Zach didn’t understand what she meant and asked, “Elena, what are you talking about?”
Elena squinted, “Don't play dumb with me, Zach. You made a deal with Logan, didn’t you? And it was about Sophia!”
“Sophia!?”
Hearing this name, Zach immediately bounced off the bed. Seemingly her name successfully cheered him up, “Did Logan tell you about it?”
He kept playing dumb. Elena saw him through and said deliberately, “Yes, he did tell me about the deal. And he said he would help you after the deal. He will get a job for Sophia. You need a housekeeper, don’t you? I thought I could help her get a job in your house. But you don’t seem to want her to work for you. Perhaps I misunderstand it. Well, forget about it.”
“Wait!”
Elena pretended to hang up the phone. Zach hurriedly stopped her.
She added, “What else do you want?”
“Did Logan really ask you to do it?” He doubted it.
Elena asked, “Of course. Don’t you believe me?”
“I…” Zach didn’t know what to say. After thinking about it for a while, he hesitated and said, “Since Logan has told you the deal, I think it’s okay to tell you more about it.”
She didn’t say a word.
Zach decided to tell something without leaking the information, “Logan asked me to look into Kent. He may know something about you. And Logan wanted to make it clear. That’s all I know.”
Elena was surprised. She was sure that Logan did hide something from her. To her surprise, it was about Kent.
After telling her the truth, Zach asked, “Elena, will you make Sophia work in my house?”
“Well, yes. She needs a job now. And you need a housekeeper, don’t you?”
Sophia would be the best choice.
Actually, Zach didn’t need a housekeeper. But he wanted to get close to Sophia. And this would be a good chance! He must seize the chance. It would be great if Sophia was willing to meet him.
Finally, they ended the conversation. Zach immediately called Logan, but he was too busy to answer his call. So Zach gave up calling him again. Luckily, after a while, Logan called back, “Why did you call me? You get something useful about Kent, don’t you?”
“No, I don’t. I just want to thank you! You asked Elena to let Sophia work for me, didn’t you? Logan, you are my best friend forever! You know me so well! I love you!”
Logan’s face darkened, “What did she know from you?”
“I told her something about Kent.” Zach didn’t even think about it.
But the next second, he could feel the coldness through the phone from Logan. His instincts told him that Logan was furious now.
“How much did you tell her!?”
Zach was stunned, then realized that he shouldn’t tell anything to Elena. However, it was too late.
“So you mean…Elena actually knows nothing about it?”
“You are clever now.”
Zach was astonished to know that Elena was just fishing for information!
“Well, Logan... I didn’t tell her anything! I just mentioned his name. And other…”
Logan gritted his teeth and said angrily, “You shouldn’t even say his name!”
He knew Elena so well. She would definitely ask him. And if she did, he couldn’t hide it from her and had to tell her the truth.
Zach felt guilty, and he didn’t dare to continue talking. So he hung up the phone to stop this conversation in no time.
Logan clenched his fists without saying a word. He was so regretful to tell Elena that he wanted to help Zach. And now she caught it!
