Chapter 4 He's not that bad

Monday rolled around after a very uneventful weekend. Hanging out with Shopia and Zane during the weekend was nice; it's nice to be around friends. She spoke to Sophia about what had happened in college, and Sophia explained everything, but she still didn't trust Logan or understand that she would probably give him a chance. "Miss Eva. I'm sorry to spoil your evening, but I need your help with something urgent." Logan called Monday evening as she was preparing to leave for the day. Yes, sir, anything," she replied.

"One of the resorts we are working on buying out overseas is running into some issues in negotiations, and I need to have a video conference call with them in a couple of hours. I need you to go into my office, pick up the file entitled Hawaii, and bring it to my home. I will text you the address." Yes, sir, right away," Emily responded as she hung up the phone. She sighed and stood up to go look for the file She rushed over to the office and grabbed the file that Logan was talking about. Then he hailed a taxi, giving them his address. She tapped my fingertips on the edge of the file nervously as the cab made its way into an extremely high-class neighborhood. When we finally pulled up and drove through the open gate, her mouth hung open. "Holy shit," she said out loud. suddenly feeling nervous This is the first time she would come to his place; they hadn't spoken since the gala except professionally She walked to the front door and rang the buzzer nervously. A moment or two later, an older man opened the door, eyeing me up and down. "May I help you, madam?" he asked, still looking at her skeptically "I am Mr. Logan's assistant. I am here at his request with the files he needed."She said, giving the files for him to take. He looked at the file and looked at me, taking it from me. "I will see that he gets them," he said, as he gave me a slight bow. She heard that telltale, deep voice ring out as he was about to shut the door. "Miss Eva, come in," Logan said. "Did you enjoy your weekend?" he asked casually. "Sorry for leaving the office to you since Friday, there's just so much to do." No, it's fine, really I enjoyed my weekend and spent it with can't, Alex and another friend; it wasn't all that bad." "That's good to know. How are Alexander and Zane, by the way? Has he finally made a move?" Well, I'm not sure Last I heard, they were kissing each other." Logan chuckled as they made their way to his home office. "He was still asking about Alex even though they don't speak much anymore It's very sweet of him I can see what Alex was talking about." Eva followed Logan into the office room, feeling so small in his large home. He walked over to a side table and grabbed a short crystal glass, pouring a drink into it. "Would you care for a drink?" He asked, turning around slowly. "No thank you. I think I've had enough drinking for the rest of the year."Eva replied, giving him a small smile "Suit yourself. We are going to have the conference call now." He said this as he smiled. He looked really good; she had to try not to stare at him. He was wearing a pair of dress pants and a shirt; his sleeves were rolled up and pushed above his elbows. Eva swallowed and tried not to look at him as I followed him into his home office. He directed her to sit in the front row to the right of him She was trying not to bounce my leg nervously. "I will be right back." He said this as he left the room. She let her eyes wander around the room, amazed at the luxury. She took out my phone and decided to check on Zane and Alexander Who were supposed to have a date, not a date today? "Hey, how are things going? She couldn't help but smile at the adorably cheesy picture Zane sent, happy that they were getting along well. The call, in reality, only lasted about 30 minutes, but it felt like a lifetime hearing them drone on and on about property value and consumerism. When it was finished, Logan shut the screen off and stood up, offering me his hand to help her up. He lightly grabbed it, and as he pulled her up fast, he let her hand go and quickly wrapped it around my waist, pulling me into him. His breath still slightly smelled of alcohol as he brought his face inches away from hers He lightly grabbed it, and as he pulled her up fast, he let her hand go and quickly wrapped it around my waist, pulling me into him. His breath still slightly smelled of alcohol as he brought his face inches away from hers He had a serious look on his face. "I have been trying and trying, but damn...." he growled as he held her tighter to him. And then he suddenly stepped back, apologizing, " I'm sorry about that." Eva felt disappointed. Why was she feeling disappointed? He chuckled. "Did I fluster you?" No, I'm just tired." Eva replied that she was indeed flustered, and she liked when he did that, but she would never admit it. Now that she decided to give him a chance and get to know him, Ahh, ok, I'll let the driver drop you off at your place," he said as he went to call the butler to get a driver for her. Oh, better still, let the driver drop you off," he said as he grabbed his car keys. "You don't have to; I can just call a cab." "No, I insist. I called you here, and it's far from your place, is it not? And you said you were tired Come on, let's go. Eva had nothing to say about this, so she agreed for him to drop her off. They had a lovely conversation on the way to her house, and Eva realized how much they shared. They talked about their college days and their shared interests, which was lovely. Up until they arrived at her apartment block, they were in a relaxed environment. "Thank you for dropping me off; you didn't have to but thanks again." "You don't have to thank me, Eva; I am more than happy to do this." Logan replied with a small smile Well, then goodnight, Logan." "Good night, babe," he replied as he watched her go up to the door before he drove off
