Presiden's wild wife

The Bug in Logan’s Phone

“Nothing…I didn’t say anything,” Sophia answered guiltily.

Zach raised his eyebrows, “You said, you give up on me.”

“Did I?” Sophia didn’t admit. Zach faked a smile, “You did. Don’t try to fool me.”

“Hey…I am just joking. It’s like an analogy. Don’t take it seriously. Why are you angry?” She gave him an irritated look.

Zach wanted to catch her, but Sophia agilely hid behind Elena, “Don’t be mean to me. Look at you, you are so petty-minded.”

“Don’t hide behind Elena!”

“No way!”

Elena was laughing, “Are you two children? Don’t make fun of Sophia.”

Sophia nodded, “Elena’s right! Don’t make fun of me!”

Zach gave up arguing, “Okay, okay. Sophia, you are right. Just leave me as you like.” He looked a bit pathetic, sitting on the other side of the couch. He had to admit that he was angry and heartbroken when he heard her.

Sophia guessed she might have said something wrong, but she didn’t want to say sorry to him. She just held Elena’s hand tightly.

Elena pulled her hand out and said, “Well, you should talk. While I need to do some cleaning.”

Both of them were sitting on the couch silently. And they were trying so hard not to make any eye contact.

After a while of silence, Sophia started to talk, “Are you angry with me?”

“Can’t I be angry when my girlfriend is abandoning me?” He didn’t look at her.

Sophia looked around to make sure that no one was around. She ran into his embrace, squirming, “I won’t abandon you. I am just kidding!” Then she rubbed his face strongly and she grinned.

In return, he pinched her cheek, which made her scream.

“Don’t say that again. I feel so hurt,” said Zach.

Sophia made a guilty smile. Zach pulled her hand and pressed it on his chest, “Now, say something to soothe me. You don’t even say sorry!”

“Are you kidding?”

“I am telling the truth! I am heartbroken!”

Sophia ran away and yelled, “I don’t believe you! You are a liar!”

Zach was about to catch her. But Jacob stopped him, “Mr. Stone. Sir wants to talk to you. He is in the study now.”

Zach looked serious, and nodded at Jacob, “Okay.” Then he walked to the study.

*****

Logan was sitting behind the desk. Zach was about to speak, but Jacob stopped him.

Logan got his phone apart, and a listening bug was showed, which was a great shock to Zach.

Jacob didn’t say anything, taking away the phone and the bug and leaving the room.

Zach took a deep breath, then he started to speak, “It’s a bug, isn’t it?!”

“Or what do you think it is?” Logan asked rhetorically, with coldness on his face. It wasn’t a joke or something.

Zach rubbed his hands and walked back and forth anxiously, “Do you think the bug had something to do with the unsuccessful surgery?”

Logan smiled, “Do you think that Albert made mistakes in my surgery?”

Logan knew so well how capable Albert was as an excellent doctor. He wouldn’t make any mistake in surgery.

Zach understood it at once, “That’s to say…”

“Elena knows nothing about it. She thinks it is just a kind of misfortune.” Logan said.

Zach said, “Are you hiding the truth from Elena? You know she was so sad when she knew that you couldn't recover from any surgery.”

Logan didn't reply. He promised Elena that he wouldn't hide anything from her; but this time, he had to do so. Someone was able to bug his phone; that’s to say, Elena’s phone was also bugged. She wasn’t good at hiding feelings. If she knew that, she must be very upset and worried. So, this was why he decided to hide it from her, again.

Zach went back to the subject, “When did you find the bug? Do you know who did it to you?” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Logan answered, “When the surgery started. Albert is discreet. He is very familiar with his team, his partners. But an unknown man was blending in that day.”

This man was some kind of expert in disguise. What was more, at that moment, Logan was under general anesthesia. So it was just too late to do anything. Thanks to Albert, he sensed something unusual. The unknown man didn’t dare to set up Logan in a big way, so he just changed the drug needed in the surgery into another kind, which could cause muscle atrophy. Albert didn’t use the drug on Logan and kept him safe.

Zach sighed hugely. “Thank God. If I were you, I’ve been killed thousands of times.”

Logan sneered, “I guess I know the ringleader. Perhaps, she is in the Browns.”

“She? You mean, Jacqueline?!” Zach got his point.

“Do you still remember how the car accident happened to me?” Logan said. His eyes had grown ice- cold. And his sullen face was so scary now.

The fact was an astonishment to Zach. He rubbed his face. He instantly regained his composure. “I’ll work on it. I will deal with the bug. And the one in Elena’s phone…just keep it in her phone.”

“Okay.” Logan agreed. They did share the same thought.

Zach smiled cunningly, “I have never been more excited and thrilled like this! I nearly get goosebumps! I’d like to see who is that powerful to access to your surgery which was heavily guarded!”

Logan squinted at him, “You should check Jacqueline’s phone record.”

“I know. You don’t need to remind me!” Zach showed off his intelligence.

Logan gave a slight punch on his chest, in a friendly way, “Well, you’ll take charge now. One more thing, don’t tell anything about me to Sophia.”

“Of course not! I won’t tell a word. You know I am an expert on keeping secrets.”

Logan looked at him in suspicion. He didn’t care if Zach was good at keeping secrets; he hoped that Zach would not slip it out. That was it.

His frivolity was so obvious that Logan couldn’t completely trust him. So Zach understood why Logan looked at him with doubt. He felt a bit embarrassed and tried to change the subject, “Well…Are you interested in Elena's DNA test result, which was conducted by Kent?”
