BXBX NOVEL Chapter 87 - Meow For Me
"So, that\'s why I need your aid again… just a tiiiny aid, okay?"
"Another one?!" Logan\'s eyes widened. He looked pissed off for an obvious reason. "What is it this time? Did you sell me out again to make a deal with Leah?"
…
"Wait, did I hit it right?" Logan\'s astonished face only added more guilt to me. I also felt ashamed, but I had to use any means necessary to save myself.
"Did you really—Damn it!" Logan sat on the chair. He ruffled his hair frustratedly. But he said nothing, probably still trying to calm himself down.
I knew it was my fault that I got tricked by Leah. I wasn\'t someone who would dodge responsibility anyway. Though, I still wouldn\'t want to admit my stupidity to get easily tricked by Leah..
"Don\'t worry, I\'ll make sure you\'ll get good compensation in the future. I\'ll do whatever you want, so it\'ll be fair, okay?" I offered. That was the only thing I could do right now.
"Really?" Logan finally looked at me with curiosity in his eyes. "Anything?"
"Well, with terms of service, of course," I reasoned. "I can always help you with your plan. You said that you need a girl to approach someone, right? Then I can be the right person for that job—"
"Meow for me."
…
"I\'m sorry, what?" I thought I misheard it. No, I definitely misheard it. There was no way he wanted me to—
"Meow for me," Logan repeated his command.
"Oh, is this a secret command—"
"Meow. For. Me."
…
Logan raised his chin, his taunting expression annoyed the hell out of me, especially when he scoffed and said, "I want to hear you meow like a cat for me. That\'s my first command."
Okay, I knew that Logan was a bit messed up, but I definitely did not expect that.
And this was definitely an attempt to embarrass me, maybe small revenge after putting up so much trouble for him?
"What are you waiting for? All you need to do is by meowing like a cat," Logan demanded me to hurry up.
…
"M—Meow…" I mumbled it and lowered my head, feeling ashamed of what I just did.
"Huh? I couldn\'t hear you, do it again, louder and give it more soul," Logan said. He leaned on the chair like a boss, looking at me with a taunting gaze and smirk.
"Why do you want me to do that kind of thing anyway?" I protested. "I\'m much more competent than just making a cat sound!"
"If you can\'t even do a small thing like that, how could I believe that you\'ll agree on following my order in the future? This is just a small task, and I see that you\'re on the brink of failure," Logan replied, instantly turning my words against me.
Now I couldn\'t avoid him anymore, and I didn\'t want to lose a competent ally like Logan. I just knew that he would be a great help in the future.
\'It\'s okay, Em. In the future, you\'ll have to defeat a lot of enemies. You have to manage your resource well, including this rich brat. This is but a second shame compared to the benefit you\'ll get in the future.\'
I said that in my heart, trying to steel my willpower and did my best impersonation of a cat meowing with an extra step. I heard men love this kind of Cat Maid kind of act on the Internet, though I doubted someone like Logan would like this.
I completed it with a try-hard cute expression to make sure he stopped trolling me with a stupid request in the future.
"Master~ Meeooww~~."
…
I closed my eyes out of shame, but there was no reaction from Logan. I really expected him to insult me.
…
Since there was no reaction, I opened my eyes slowly, only to find Logan Walker dazed while staring at me.
"Yo—Are you okay?" I asked while nudging Logan\'s shoes with mine, trying to wake him out of his daze.
Logan suddenly stood up from the chair and turned around. He insulted me while facing the other way, so I couldn\'t see his face, "T—That\'s so ugly!"
"Bitch, you were the one who asked me to do it! You signed up for it, idiot!" I couldn\'t help but yell at him back. What a heartless jerk! "At least appreciate it, bastard! You\'re the first one to ever see me acting like that!"
"Really?" Logan asked.
"Yeah!"
"T—Then, don\'t you ever show that kind of face and voice to other guys! It\'s too ugly! Let me be the only victim!" Logan yelled, but I could feel there was a nervousness in his voice.
"Hah! As if I\'d do that kind of embarrassing act in front of other people! It\'s because you demand me for stupid stuff, you jerk!"
…
There was an awkward atmosphere between us, mostly on Logan because he didn\'t even want to face me right now.
Then he suddenly walked away to the door, and I asked, "Where are you going?"
"I—I need to wash my face, change my clothes too," Logan replied in a hurry.
Thus, I was left alone, feeling sullied after acting like a maid in front of that bastard who called me ugly.
Ugh, I swear I wouldn\'t show that kind of face anymore in front of him. At least, I believed that Mason wouldn\'t say anything when exposed to the same act.
Logan returned with a black tee after washing his face and hair. He looked at me for a second and then looked away immediately.
I rolled my eyes. Yeah, Logan Walker, the hate was mutual.
"So, what kind of problem did you put me into this time?" Logan asked.
"Well, it\'s not a big deal. I told Leah that you\'re eager to meet her, and you WILL give your phone number to her," I answered. I thought Logan would yell at me again, or at least complained.
But surprisingly, he just nodded composedly, "I can handle that, easy."
