There was a bit of silence, before Maya spoke up. "You know you can always reject most errands if you find it insulting, I always feel bad for you whenever you are being insulted. I wish I can do something.""You don't have to be, I am use to it." Logan replied."Are you really going to clean Edmond's room?" Maya asked looking straight to into his eyes."Of course not, why would I do that? I only run errands for your auntie and uncles, parents and grandmother.

He actually said that on purpose that was his way of wanting to tell her about his new job. "When you said you didn't have job then, it means you now have a job?" Maya replied.Logan gave out a heavy breathe before answering, yes I do have a job now in fact I will be resuming work on Monday morning. "Tell me you are joking! Logan."
