The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

The list of things John wanted Logan to prepare was rather long, and he couldn’t figure out how John wanted to use them in such a short period of time. Nevertheless, he still sent his men to prepare them, and they came out of the basement for a cigarette break while they were at it.

While they were shrouded in cigarette smoke, his men prepared the items requested by John one by one, but it wasn’t complete as it was already late, and they couldn’t find everything on the list. Placing everything into a box, they then showed it to him.

Helplessly, John hadn’t noticed that Logan was so fond of hustling before this. In contrast to that, he was more composed than him. “Even if you can loosen the ropes, there’s no way for you to escape,” he pointed out.
