Chapter 73 – The Same Vengefulness (1)
Logan shifted his gaze at me and asked, "So, what brings you here?"
"This is my club. Now I can't enter my club as well?"
"I'm not an idiot. Just tell me what you want before I kick you out for real."
"So hostile and for what?" I rolled my eyes. "I'm here because I need you to do something. I need it so I can pressure Leah to give some sacrifice to get you."
"You want me to seduce that girl?" Logan asked. He didn't seem to react much other than obvious displeasure on his face.
"Yes," I replied.
"I hate girls," Logan informed with a shrug. "I don't like being around them."
"Do you like boys—"
"No, I hate them all. I just dislike people in general," Logan added to clear up the confusion. "There is no way I'd follow your instruction to seduce a random girl like that."
"But with this, I can secure a chance to get more information—"
Logan frowned, "Now you can just order me around like that? Remember who's the boss here."
"But—"
"Just leave now. I'm not in the mood to play with you," Logan said. He fished out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. He was about to lit one, but when he glanced up to the ceiling, he sighed and put it in his pocket again.
It seemed that Logan wasn't in the mood right now. I guessed it was also my fault for coming and brazenly asked him to do my bidding.
In my eyes, Logan looked like a panther that always growled and looked hostile to anyone for whatever reason he had.
Either I played with what the Panther wanted, or I had to run away before he caught me.
"Okay, Boss, relax. I'm sorry for being pushy before. I just got impatient," I tried to pacify Logan, who already got up, about to leave the club.
Logan halted his step and looked at me.
"Boss Logan, I really need your help on this. I've just visited that Boxing club, and they are so secretive about everything…."
"So you wasted the whole evening without any lead for that plan of yours?" Logan asked. I nodded once, and he reacted with a chuckle. "How can you be that incompetent?"
Bitch, I got kicked out by that James guy! Besides, I couldn't even get any proper answer to my question!
Well, that was what I wanted to say to him. But Logan was already in a bad mood, so I had to play the submissive one here.
"Well, isn't that the reason why I'm here right now? Because I think you can help me…." I said. I lowered my gaze like a pitiful, bullied kid, something I knew really well in the previous life.
Logan was staring at me and then pinched my chin. He raised my face and asked, full of worry, "Oh no, at least you tried your best, right?" He said, softening his voice.
I was a bit startled that he could be softer, so I thought this was my chance.
"Y—Yes… but I really need your help, Boss Logan. I'm already desperate…."
"I see… it seems that you really need my help."
"S—So, will you help me—"
"No."
Logan curt answer got me shocked. I didn't expect him to just turn me down after my convincing acting.
Logan released my chin and then said, "You should start an acting lesson. You're too predictable."
Logan took his backpack and headed to the door. I hurriedly grabbed his hand, "Wait! We can talk about this!"
"I'm not your tool, you idiot. Do you think you can ask me to do your bidding without any exchange?" Logan scoffed. "Just because you have a pretty face doesn't mean that I'll be interested in helping you for free."
Dang it, as expected, I wasn't really good at convincing and seducing people to do my bidding. I wished I could be like Barbara or Leah.
Logan sat on a chair, with his leg spread out wide. He asked, "First, tell me, is this an act of revenge against that girl?"
I took a deep breath. I really couldn't hide anything from this guy. He didn't seem to be the type of guy who could be swayed with anything, whether money or beauty.
So it should be best to come clean and plot with him.
"It's an act of revenge," I replied.
"Oh? Did you have a history with her? I'm not from around here," Logan asked with interest.
I paused when I heard that. I had just realized that I had never seen Logan in any class before, and I had never met him in my previous life. But if he wasn't originated from here, that meant he was also clueless about many things.
So why would he ask me to approach a girl in this school?
Questions started popping out in my brain, but I took the chance. I could use his cluelessness to fool him into agreeing.
"Leah has been bullying me in middle school. Now that she is in the Boxing club, she has been tormenting even more. She acts like she doesn't know me, while we knew each other in middle school before…."
"Huh, so you want to ruin her life because she bullied you before?" He asked.
…
For some reason, I felt like it was a trick question. But I told myself that being honest with him was the best I could do since he could tell when I was completely lying."
"Yes, I want to get my revenge," I replied.
…
Logan was silent, but his eyes observed me as if he was deciding upon something.
"What? Do you not believe me, or do you think I have a devious intention?" I confronted him. I didn't want to be judged by someone, let alone by a man.
"No, I just think whether it's worth it to help you with your revenge," Logan replied lightly.
"Wait, you don't oppose my revenge?"
"Huh? Why would I?" Logan leaned on their chair and showed a devious smirk.. "Ruin them like they ruin you, so they will understand your pain."
