Passion 50
The next day, Yvette saw Kiki off at 5:00 am.
Before leaving, Kiki was particularly nervous. "Yvvy, do I look okay today?"
Kiki was naturally good-looking, she had almond-shaped eyes, an oval face, and a gentle yet charming
demeanor.
"You look great."
"That's good to hear. You know, the thought of seeing him makes me very nervous and excited. I'm afraid that he won't like me..." "There's no chance," Yvette reassured Kiki. "My best friend is so beautiful. There's no way he would dislike you."
Kiki nodded.
After seeing her off, Yvette returned to her bedroom.
"Mom." Zachary had woken up at some point.
"Did we wake you?" she asked, walking over and crouching down. After all, Kiki had started getting ready around 3:00 am or 4:00 am.
Instead of answering, he asked, "Mom, is Mr. Cook, the one Kiki is going to meet, a nice person?"
Yvette pondered for a moment before responding, "Yeah, to Kiki, he's a very nice person."NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
She remembered seeing Leonard back in college. He had been considered the heartthrob of their batch. He was extremely good-looking, but his family wasn't well-off. Kiki and Leonard looked great together, but their family backgrounds were worlds apart.
"Is Mr. Lander good to you,
Mom?"
Yvette was caught off guard by the question. However, she answered without hesitation, "Of he's very good to us.
course,
"Then, you should agree to be with him when we go back, Mom. Even though there are a lot of beautiful women around him, you're just as stunning as them. I know it's dangerous to be around him, but I believe that he'll be able to keep you safe."
Once again, Yvette was caught off guard. Looking at her son's solemn expression, which bore a strong resemblance to Xavier's, she found herself at a loss for words.
After a long while, she raised her hand and ruffled his hair. "Didn't you just ask me to go on a blind date last night?"
Zachary sighed. "I calculated the odds, and the probability of you successfully finding someone is one in a trillion." Yvette burst into laughter. "You little rascal."
His face flushed. "You need to take this more seriously, Mom. Even If the chances are slim, there's still
hope."
Leaving no room for discussion, he declared firmly, "I'm coming with you today."
Yvette had never imagined that she would be going on a blind date in place of her best friend and taking her son along as well
However, since the housekeeper was on leave that day, she didn't feel comfortable leaving Zachary alone. So, she had him tag along with Ray and stick close to her.
Kiki had only given her a business card and the venue's address. Yvette didn't bother to doll herself up; she simply put on a mask before heading out.
She was about to head into Plate & Palette, a high-end restaurant, when a well-dressed woman stormed out, furious. "Who does he think he is? He's so rude! Does he really think he's a prince? I can't believe he's changing his blind date partners every ten minutes!"
Puzzled, Yvette waited until the woman had left before handing over her business card to the receptionist.
The receptionist accepted it and looked at Yvette. "Ms. Torres, your appointment is at 9:00 am. It's currently 8:47 am. I'm afraid you'll have to wait until Ms. Lopez finishes her date before you can go in." Realization dawned on Yvette. This blind date was essentially a selection process for the guy.
But the Torres family was quite prominent in Tirion. She was surprised that Kiki's blind date had asked her to wait in line.
Yvette was aware that a lot of influential figures in Tirion were actually members of prestigious families who had discreetly relocated from Drieso; such behavior was therefore unsurprising.
In a way, it was good. She could get the blind date over with quickly and leave.
In less than ten minutes, another woman was rejected and stormed out, angry and heartbroken.
With a polite yet slightly amused expression, the receptionist told Yvette, "It's your turn, Ms. Torres." Yvette noticed his expression but remained unfazed.
The entire restaurant had been booked for the day. Even though there was only supposed to be one guy on the blind date, she was met with a group of young men's earsplitting jeers when she walked in. COIN BUNDLE: get more free bonus
