Luckily, she was quick. She rapidly steadied herself by grabbing the door of the car, avoiding a bad fall. Xanthe looked at Lucy like she had seen a ghost. "Are you crazy or I am the crazy one?"

Lucy clicked her tongue, dismissing Xanthe's denial. "Why did you chat with him for so long after getting off the plane if you don't love him? You haven't called your mom and dad yet, Xanthe was a bit angry. She tapped on Lucy's head. "He called 1. me.

Lucy was a bit angry, holding her head. "You even gave him bad advice to ruin his date!"

Hearing Lucy's retort, Xanthe was annoyed. She said impatiently. "He asked for it! I was just helping his date so she wouldn't fall into that loser trap! What's your problem?

"Why are you so caught up in his problems? If you care about him that much, I'll get you a plane ticket back to Crescentville right now."

Seeing that Xanthe was angry, Lucy grudgingly shut up though she had a lot to say. After all, the trip to La Vido was a reward from Enrique for Xanthe's improvement in her finals. Lucy managed to cheekily tag along with Xanthe

After all, Enrique was so rich that he gave Xanthe a black credit card. Everything in La Vido was pricey and her dad only gave her about 300 bucks a month. If she didn't play up to Xanthe, she would have been stay in the hotel room for the next few days.

Thinking about this, Lucy quickly put on an ingratiating smile and turned to Xanthe. "I was wrong. Don't be angry with me. I'm just worried about you. We are close friends. I am afraid your boyfriend will fool you."

Xanthe couldn't help but complain. "Him" My boyfriend? He's absolutely not. You should worry about yourself. I was worried your mom would scold you because of your scores on the final exams. So I came here with you!"

Lucy stiffened but she said, to please Xanthe, "You're right! You re closer to me than my sister. I promise I'll study hard next semester!" Xanthe ignored her and started texting her family.

Lucy turned around, pretending to be enjoying the scenery outside the window. Her reflection in the car window showed her jealousy and resentfulness.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

The next day, Sean wore a casual suit with a plaid coat, making him look even more handsome. He also looked elegant and sophisticated.

He arrived half an hour early at the romantic restaurant his mom had booked a dining room for him. Before long, his cousin showed up too. They briefly greeted each other.

His cousin was wearing glasses. She looked Sean up and down and smiled approvingly, "Not bad, Sean. You look really good today, Good luck!"

Sean nodded calmly with a mild smile. He didn't show the slightest clue to the sarcastic thoughts that he was having on his face. "Thanks, cousin."

"Alright, I'll just sit over there." His cousin pointed at a table about two tables away from Sean. "I'll be waiting for your good news!"

Sean said, "Cot it, thanks a lot, cousin."

Sean looked up at Joan as she approached him. He stood up and politely helped her with her coat and pulled over the chair for her. "Never mind. I've only just arrived."

Joan raised her eyebrow. She thought Sean was quite handsome and refined so she couldn't help but nod approvingly.

Sean straightened his back and sat back in his seat.

Sean handed the menu to Joan. "I heard Ms. Berret likes seafood so I ordered a few simple dishes of seafood. I hope you'll like them.

Joan glanced over the menu, feeling quite pleased. Everything matched her preferences perfectly. She hadn't expected much from this blind date. She just came here to fulfill the task of her family. Unexpectedly, Sean seemed much more thoughtful than she imagined. Joan rested her hands on the table, gazing casually at Sean as he poured red wine for her.

She said slowly, "Mr. Sean, there's no need to act anymore."

Sean paused for a moment. Instantly, he put down the wine bottle and smiled, "Ms. Berret, I'm not sure what you mean."

Joan leaned back casually. Her attitude was quite like Sean's. She stuck her chin slightly. Tve looked into you. We're similar people. Our families worry about us a lot. We have to agree to this blind date they put a lot of pressure on us." Sean smiled without saying anything.

Joan continued, "I've already planned how to turn you down. But now I have a new idea."

Sean gestured. "I'm all ears."

Joan's red lips curved in a smile. She was plump, both her body and face so she looked pretty elegant and posh Her smile

She said, "Instead of going against our families, we'd better form an alliance.

"Mr. Reynolds, I think you're quite agreeable. I doubt you can find any fault with me. So, why dort we pretend this blind date is a success to avoid more trouble?"
