Chapter 174 The Official Return of Logan

A woman brushed past him, leaving behind a faint scent of gardenia.

Max instinctively glanced at her. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

He saw her long hair cascading down to her waist, drenched by the rain and slightly disheveled. Yet, unexpectedly, her alluring profile caught his eye, with flawless fair skin like a peeled egg and a slender, unblemished neck.

Her rain-soaked dress clung to her body, accentuating her exquisite figure, and exuding a seductive charm as if a fairy had descended from heaven. But her innocent and watery eyes added a touch of innocence.

Sensing Max's gaze, the woman discreetly moved away, creating some distance between them.

Max's eyes darkened and his expression became impassive as he redirected his attention.

The sky seemed to tear open, pouring down heavy rain.

Before long, a group of mischievous-looking youngsters also sought shelter in the bus shelter.

The woman, noticing this, instinctively moved closer to Max's side.

Compared to those less reputable young hooligans, the man beside her appeared more refined.

"Heh," Max sneered coldly.

His mocking tone made the woman blush, and she bit her lip.

The mischievous youngsters caught sight of the woman's figure and appearance, whistling playfully as they approached her.

In a panic, the woman grabbed hold of Max's hand, desperately pleading, "Darling, let's not quarrel anymore. I was wrong."

The last three words were spoken softly, sounding like a kitten scratching at one's heart, causing a tingling sensation.

Max looked at the woman with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.

At that moment, Nick arrived in the car.

Max opened the car door and got in without any indication of inviting the woman.

The curious gazes of the young troublemakers turned towards them. The woman gritted her teeth, mustered her courage, and got into the car, pleading, "Sir, can you give me a ride? I can pay for the fare."

Max glanced at the young men outside the window and asked, "How much can you offer?"

"One hundred, just take me to the subway station at the intersection. Please," the woman pleaded with her hands clasped together.

Max remained silent.

"What about the two hundred? It's already ten times the price outside!"

Nick couldn't help but scold, "Outrageous! Our young master doesn't need your two hundred!"

The woman became increasingly anxious, glancing at the young men outside the window and then at Max. Just as she was about to give up and get off the car, Max coldly uttered two words.

"Drive on."

Nick immediately started the car and drove to the subway station at the corner. In a straightforward manner, he said, "Pay up."

The woman hurriedly rummaged through her bag, whispering, "I... don't have any change."

Nick sneered, "Ha, with your pick-up techniques, our young master has encountered countless people like you. Do you think we would believe you? Next, are you going to ask for our young master's WhatsApp and claim that you'll transfer the money?"

"No, it's not like that." The woman lowered her head, embarrassedly gripping her skirt, and explained softly, "I can scan the payment to you, just the QR code. No need to add as a friend."

"Alright! Scan mine!" Nick showed his payment QR code.

The woman transferred two hundred to him. She said thank you and felt embarrassed so she quickly rushed into the subway.

Nick received the two hundred, transferred it to Max, and proudly said, "Boss, didn't I do a great job?"

"Hmm." Max responded, "But your physical fitness has been lacking recently. You came to pick me up so late. I'll make you do a 25-kilometer weighted run at the main camp tonight as a punishment."

"25 kilometers?" Nick's voice rose, and then his face seemed like he was about to cry, "Boss, running 25 kilometers is already a marathon, and do I have to do it with weights? Moreover... moreover, I came as soon as I received the notification."

Nick felt wronged.

Max raised his eyebrows and glanced at him.

Nick's back straightened instantly. "I'll go! Max, I will definitely strengthen my training tonight."

"Hmm."

...

On the other side, Logan had just arrived at the archaeological site and immediately began working on his translation tasks.

When he finally had a moment to relax, he checked his phone and saw a message from Curtis sent earlier.

The message included a photo showing him and Adeline having dinner together.

Logan furrowed his brows.

Could it be that Adeline really had other suitors?

A strong sense of crisis made him hand over his work and take a complete leave of absence to go home.

The director tried to persuade him repeatedly, but Logan refused.

"My father's birthday is in a few days. Shortly after that, it will be New Year. This year, I want to spend the New Year with Adeline."

After saying this, Logan borrowed a colleague's phone and sent a message to Adeline.

After sending the message, Logan booked a flight back to Prodiff.
