Logan’s voice remained calm and steady as he continued, “Are you free tonight? I’ll come by and take you out for dinner to celebrate you moving into your new home.”
I chuckled and asked, “Is this a new house?”
“Yes. So far, you’re the first person to live there.” His tone carried a hint of a laugh.
His words caught me off guard.
I looked around the apartment and noticed that some of the furniture was still in its protective wrapping.
I was surprised and overwhelmed.
Feeling embarrassed, I replied, “Logan, is this your place? It doesn’t feel right for me to stay here. What if I mess up the place?”

Just then, my phone rang again,
It was from an unknown caller.
I furrowed my brows and hesitated for a moment before I answered.
“Hey, it’s me,” Elijah’s tired voice came from the other end of the line.
My instinct told me to hang up and block him immediately.
“Don’t hang up. There’s something that I need to discuss with you,” he said.
I suppressed my emotions and coldly asked, “What is it Mr. Linden?” There was a long silence on his end, and my patience was beginning to wear thin.
