Chapter Nine
LEAH'S POV
I stood in front the school's main entrance dialing a taxi service while Logan gives me a questioning glare.
"Athough it's non of his business, "I'm getting a taxi" I explained, waiting for an answer from the taxi service.
Walking briskly towards me, he took my phone from my hands cutting the call off.
"Hey" I yelled, trying to retrieve my phone from his hand.
"I'm taking you to the supermarket! quickly" he hustle me.
Okay, dinner this evening, contract then goodbye Logan Grey .. Daniels.
We were already inside his Benz. Now I can't decide whose more hot, Logan or Benz.
With so many questions bubbling up in my head, I'm shock that I'm still calm.
Uncomfortable being this close to someone's who may soon. be my boss is not advisable. I need to prove myself and befriending Mr. Logan. Daniels is not a good start.
"I don't need to shop for dinner. I just wanted to get away from the school and all it's problems " I explained
Tapping his fingers on the steering wheel as he drove. "So where do I drop you off, then" he asked me.
Unable to make a decision, I gave him my home address. Deciding to send Jer to the supermarket with a list.
"Are you allergic to any food items" I asked wanting to make sure he doesn't collapse on my table at home.
Still tapping his fingers. "Nah I'm good" he chuckles.
We continue the drive to my home in silence, my brain and my body fought with each other.
My body feels an attraction for him, but my brains says to keep my head on, he is the son of billionaires and a billionaire in his own right.
I have to work hard to achieve what I want and getting involved with anyone right now would be a step back.
Jerome and Jessica are my priority first and foremost.
Why did Mr. Antoine show respect and fear for him at the same time and the Prime's know him well enough for him to be linked to their daughter.
Logan pulled up at the curb in front of my humble home, which my grandmother left in my name for Jerome and Jessy as well.
The little money from dad's small life insurance was used to modernize it at bit. It may not be a billionaire mansion, but it's my palace.
I turned to see Logan looking at me intently.
"Is dinner still on?" he asks.
Nodding, "unless you want to cancel?" I ask hopefully.
"No, we need to discuss the contract among other things" he smiles.
Unable to contain my curiosity any longer, "why is Mr. Antoine afraid of you and respect you mast the same." I asked curious
He leaned back in his seat staring straight ahead, before looking at me, "can we leave this conversations until dinner?" he requested.
Disappointed, I nod, "yeah sure. Oh I hope you don't mind but my younger brother and sister will be joining us for dinner" I told him.
"Not a problem and I look forward to meeting them" he agrees.
Thanking him for his help at the school, I got out of his vehicle, waving him off before entering the house.
"Jerome" I shouted from the hallway, taking off my heels as Jessy comes running down the stairs excited.
Throwing her arms around me, "thank you, thank you!" she exclaimed.
Pulling away from me to stare me straight in the eye. "You're dating Logan Daniels?", oh my God. oh my God" she continued excitedly.
Holding her at arms length, "no no, no no" I'm not dating anyone." I told her.
When I got her calm enough, ' now. tell me what happened? "
Excitement shines in her eyes, 'Erica called, she said Shelly got suspended for three weeks and that I can return to school tomorrow and that my sister was there with Logan Daniels, her boyfriend " she got all excited again.
Now's my chance, "whose Logan Daniels?" I ask quietly.
Frowning, "are you seriously asking me that? He's the designer of Francis Fashion and a huge powerful lawyer" he filled me in.
Stunned, a lawyer? Okay, how did I not know that? How does Jess know that?
"How do you know that?" I asked again trying to get more information about our dinner guest.
"He's always in magazines and one of the richest eligible bachelor in the state." her eyes dances as she speaks.
"Okay," I responded not sure how to get more information from her.
Looking around, "Where's Jer?" I asked.
Without saying anything, Jess points to the backyard.
"Come,' I said pulling her along as I went in search of Jer.
Rounding the corner of the house, I see my brother's legs protruding from under his van.
"You better make sure this vehicle is working, because I need something in the supermarket now " I yelled causing him to bump his head, as he rolls from under the vehicle.
"What's with all the yelling? F**k!" he rubs his head.
Turning to Jess. "you control yourself" i warned, before I went on to relate everything that happen at Francis Fashion till now!
I had to cover Jess mouth with all the screaming banning her from dinner in order to shut her up.
By the time seven thirty rolled around, dinner was ready, the table was set as we await our guest of honor.
Logan arrived just on time. As I open the door, "Good evening" he greeted me placing a bottle of wine in my hand along with a beautiful single red rose, while still holding a just as beautiful yellow rose.
"Come in" I invited him, leading him down the narrow hallway,nto the spacious living room, part of the remodeling.
Jess stood up, while Jerome slowly stood up cautiously observing Logan.
"Let me introduce you, this is Jessica, my sister, who goes to Michael's Prep" I beckon her.
"Finally, Jessica, it's a pleasure" he greeted her handing her the yellow rose.
"Wow, my first rose" she said happily.
Logan chuckles at her admission while I redden with embarrassment.
"And you already met Jerome, my brother" I signal him to come forward.
They shook hands, measuring each other.
"It's good to see you again" Logan said, while Jer stayed stubbornly silent.
"Excuse me" I said walking with the wine, putting it in the refrigerator and the rose in a vase.
I return to hear Jess chattering away with Logan's soft chuckles.
I offered Logan a glass of wine while Jer and Jess had apple drinks.
"So you didn't get a name starting with 'J'?" Logan observed.
I looked at my siblings before answering, "my other name is Jamie" I told him quietly,
