Emmanuel was also amazed by the magnificence of the restaurant. It
seemed that Tia’s blind date for the day was someone prominent.
The interior design of the restaurant was also quite unique, with creative
partitions and mostly glass windows and doors, giving it a high–end
appearance.
Tia lightly held Emmanuel’s hand and entered a room, causing the previously
chatty two families to suddenly stop. Tia’s mother, Marianne Marten, was
particularly stunned.
After all, she had asked her daughter to come on a blind date, only for the
young woman to enter while holding a man’s hand. How could she take
something like that, and how was she supposed to explain it to the guy’s
family?!
-Before she could react, Tia’s date stood up and slammed the table before
shouting, “Aren’t you Roselynn’s brother?! What are you doing here?”
The man was dressed in a branded suit, with his hair styled and shining. It
was none other than Richie, the man who had given gifts to Mackenzie
before the holidays.
He had seen the Lowe siblings during Jaxton’s wedding, and he still held a
grudge against Roselynn for taking advantage of him and walking away with
his 450 thousand worth of fine wine. Little did he expect that this day, her
brother would come and stir up trouble again on this blind date.
Emmanuel reacted just like Roselynn did before and asked, stunned, “Do you
know me?” Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
He was worried Richie might know that he was already married, which would
ruin his role as Tia’s pretend boyfriend.
Fortunately, Richie was unaware of his marital status and only sneered.
“What? Do you think a guy like you can steal my date?”
Although Tia couldn’t compare to Mackenzie, she was still considerably
attractive when she had dressed up for the day. Of course, Richie didn’t hope
to bag himself a woman like Mackenzie; he just wanted a beautiful woman to
date and do… certain things.
However, Emmanuel paid no attention to his rants and simply took a seat
with Tia.
With that, the atmosphere in the private room suddenly became tense.
Tia became very nervous, sensing the unfriendly gazes coming from her
mother and the Unger family trembling slightly while holding Emmanuel’s
hand firmly.
“Who is he, Tia?” Marianne broke the silence.
She had initiated the blind date, and the Unger family had considerable
wealth and power. They couldn’t possibly offend the family, so she had to
give the Unger family an explanation.
There was no turning back at this point, so Tia summoned her courage and
said with a smile, “Mom, this is my boyfriend, Emmanuel.”
She firmly believed that Emmanuel’s status and achievements surpassed
Richie’s by a mile, qnd her mother would surely support her. However,
Marianne held her forehead exasperatedly in response.
The teacup in Cain’s hand dropped onto the table with a soft clunk, and the
tea splashed all over.
Tia was startled. She was just a preschool teacher and had no experience in
socializing with the upper class. She didn’t know what Cain meant by the
gesture, but she held onto Emmanuel’s hand tightly.
Gillian Babington, Cain’s wife, also appeared grim. “Mrs. Poole, didn’t you say
your daughter is very innocent and has never been in a relationship before?
What is this now?”
At that, Marianne smiled apologetically. “There must be some
misunderstanding, Mrs. Unger.”
“Misunderstanding? Hmph!” Gillian was all lofty. “Are we a joke to you? Do you
know we turned down several social engagements for this blind date? How
are you going to compensate for our losses now that it has turned out like
this?!”
Marianne’s face turned slightly ashen. She knew the Unger family was a big
name in the commercial world, whereas her family was small and
insignificant. There was no way they could compensate the Unger family for
their losses.
With that, she turned to Tia and Emmanuel. “Tia, you never told me you had a
boyfriend! What is his job? Why don’t you get him to leave first?”
