Reluctantly, Hannah Snow returned home on this weekend and allowed her mother to dress her up one piece of clothing after another. "Mom, does it have to be so grand?"
Hannah's mother glared at her, scaring the little fox into silence. "Of course it has to be grand! When you see the other party, I promise you'll like him!"
So mysterious?
It made her mother, who was as shrewd as a fox, so delighted. Hannah was curious to meet this mysterious person.
Half an hour later, Hannah Snow and her mother appeared in an elegantly styled private room at a Western restaurant. She was wearing a very ladylike knee-length white dress, and her mother had forced her to wear brown ankle boots in this scorching weather.
Damn! It's so hot!
Thankfully, the air conditioning in the private room was strong enough. But still, damn!
The man hadn't arrived yet? Since when did the woman have to wait for the man on a blind date?
"Mom..." Can we retreat?
"Shut up! He's the advertising director of a big company, naturally, he's busy with work." Hannah's mother unexpectedly spoke well of the man.
Hannah was stunned. My goodness! Her most shrewd and cunning mother actually...
The door of the private room was pushed open. "I'm sorry, Auntie. I was stuck in traffic, so I'm late."
Hearing the voice, Hannah looked up at the newcomer, and once again, she was stunned. Boyd? Her high school classmate?
Hannah's mother smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay. As long as you're here. Come, let me introduce you. This is my daughter, Hannah Snow."
"It's you?"
Both of them spoke in unison, and in their hearts, they exclaimed how small the world was!
Never did she expect to meet the shy and introverted class monitor from their high school days, who had now become an advertising director. With his refined and gentle appearance, he was definitely a hot commodity among women. How did he end up in a blind date situation?
Hannah's mother was overjoyed, "Great! You two know each other. I'll leave you two to chat! No need to come back too early!"
Giving her daughter a sly wink, Hannah's mother left the scene, completely following the plot development in novels.
Hannah felt a bit awkward. After all, even though they were high school classmates, meeting again as blind date partners made her uncomfortable. Moreover, she didn't have much of a relationship with Boyd, unlike the ever-affable Charles Smith, who could chat casually with anyone.
"You don't have to mind my mom. That's just how she is."
"It's alright. Hannah's mother is adorable. She reminds me of your sister." Boyd humorously winked at her, successfully breaking the awkward atmosphere between them. The conversation that followed made Hannah realize Boyd's excellent conversational skills.
Actually, blind dates weren't as dreary as she had imagined!
She also learned that he had a sister named Ariel, and the names of the two siblings made Hannah laugh until her stomach hurt.
Hannah took a deep breath and tugged at her suit. With a determined look, she stepped into the conference room. That damned Charles Smith dared to be late on such an important day!
As expected, she saw several shareholders, all with expectant expressions. She walked to the seat reserved for the CEO and sat down. Sigh, who knows how long she can still occupy this position!
