After finishing his work, Matthew took Tammy and Alicia to a nearby high-end restaurant. That restaurant was located on the top floor of a luxury hotel and served only VIP customers When Alicia looked at the menu, she was shocked. She worried her savings would not be sufficient to cover the cost. From that moment on, she decided it was best not to act rich in front of wealthy people As she sipped her drink, Tammy asked, âMatthew, howâs your preparation for the start of that racing competition going? Itâs supposed to begin in two days, isnât it?â
âAlmost done. Would you like to come?â
âNo. Iâm not interested in it,â Tammy shook her head and replied Then Alicia said, âI want to see the competition so bad, but the tickets were sold out as soon as they went on sale. Some scalpers even sell the tickets online at sky-high prices, but I still donât get the chance to buy them.â Meanwhile, she pitied herself secretly, The race will feature several attractive professional racers. They participated in a variety show last year and got a lot of fans. As a result, many people wanted to see that race, and ticket prices became unusually high. If only I have that much money to buy the tickets!
âIf you want to go, Iâll ask my secretary to get two tickets for you,â Matthew said âReally?!â Aliciaâs eyes sparkled with excitement âNo, thanks. Iâm not going. I prefer to stay at home and play games,â Still sipping her drink, Tammy rejected Matthew without hesitation 554 Is She Having A Blind Date?
âYou can play games every day, but this race takes place only once a year!â Alicia persuaded Tammy while kicking her legs under the table secretly âSince when did you become so interested in racing?â Kicking Aliciaâs leg away, Tammy raised her brows in surprise and asked âIâve always had a fascination with racing.â
âHuh? You...â Tammy froze before she could finish what she was saying. Her gaze moved from Alicia to a short distance behind her. In the middle of the hall was a grand piano. Natalie was one of the two people sitting at a table by the window on the other side of the hall Alicia followed her gaze into the distance, surprised, and asked, âIsnât that Natalie? Whoâs that sitting across from Natalie?â
âThatâs Harry,â Matthew said âUrgh! That guy! Really? But didnât great-grandfather say that he didnât allow Natalie to date him? Then what are they doing here?â Tammy stood up to see what Harry looked like. However, a large potted plant in the middle obscured her view. She could only see the side of his face Sitting down, she added with a pout, âI heard Harry has a bad temper and even beat his ex-wife. She divorced him because she couldnât stand him and then escaped to America to avoid him. They also have a child. Is Natalie crazy? Why would she want to date him?â
âWhat?! That guy is violent?! Thatâs a big red flag!â Alicia exclaimed in surprise âI agree. That is why our entire family opposes her dating him,â Tammy echoed as she crossed her arms in front of her chest âMom and Dad think itâs fine. In fact, I donât think those rumors are true. You canât just believe everything people say. Iâve met him in person, and I think heâs a gentleman,â Matthew said 554 Is She Having A Blind Date?
âBut heâs a divorced man with a child, remember? Youâre going to make Natalie someoneâs stepmother?! She canât even take care of herself!
She asked her maids to do everything for her! That old bastard! What the hell is he up to?â Exclaimed Tammy. She then stood up angrily âWhat are you doing?â Astonished, Alicia looked at Tammy and asked âIâm going to prove to Natalie what kind of nasty man he is!â Tammy waved at the waiter and then spoke into his ear After a brief pause, the waiter said with hesitation, âMiss Wright, about this...â
âWhat are you scared of? If something goes wrong, Iâll take the blame,â Patting her chest, Tammy said with certainty âSorry, but I donât believe that is a good idea. Mr. Carter is my managerâs friend,â Smiling awkwardly, the waiter still tried to talk Tammy out of it âItâs OK, just do what she says. Iâll take responsibility for everything/â Matthew said And the waiter agreed and left after gaining Matthewâs guarantee Surprised, Alicia asked, âWhy donât you ask her what sheâs doing directly? Why bother getting a stranger involved in it?*â Tammy, you drugged Evan and beat him up a few days ago. Thank goodness your uncle covered your ass. And this time, youâre messing with that violent man? Are you out of your mind?! At the thought of that, Alicia felt a headache âI just wanted to test if he really liked Natalie,â Tammy said triumphantly, âJust wait and see what happens.â wee At the same time, Natalie was flipping through the menu impatiently âWhatâs wrong? You canât find the dish you want?â Harry, who was sitting across from her, asked âNo. Tammy and I used to come here every day. Later, whenever they created a new dish, they would leave us some. I donât think thereâs something worth eating here.â
âThen what would you like to eat? We can go to your favorite restaurant if you donât like this one.â
Natalie shook her head and said, âForget it. In fact, I understand why you came to see me. Your family forced you to come here, right?â
Harry said nothing. He just gazed at her tenderly. Then Natalie handed the menu to the waiter and said, âThatâs all. And please bring me a cup of jasmine tea.â
After the waiter left, Natalie leaned back and rested against the back of the chair. She raised her head to look at Harry, saying flatly, âI know what kind of trouble you are facing as a divorced young man. Your family must be urging you to hurry up and get married every single day, right? And I want you to know that everyone has a different attitude towards marriage.â
âWhat do you mean?â Harry asked eagerly âSome think marriage will complete them, and some feel itâs nice to live alone.â
âWhat type of person are you, then?â
Natalie blurted out, âThe latter one. Iâm not interested in getting married at all. Playing games and watching TV is much more interesting than getting married. I donât want to get married simply because I can financially benefit from it.â
554 Is She Having A Blind Date?
âDo you think youâd marry someone just because you like him?â
âNo! I like a lot of things. And I wouldnât give up many of my other interests just to get married.â
âActually, I really like you,â Taking a deep breath, Harry said âThank you. Iâm flattered,â Natalie said calmly Harry was surprised by her calm attitude. Then he asked in confusion, âArenât you curious about why I like you?â
âNo. I already know why. You like me because of my fatherâs power and money, right? You are not the first to express an interest in me immediately after meeting me. Some people have said even crazier things But, seriously, just get to the point, okay?â Natalie said with a shake of her head Ignoring Harry, who was frowning, Natalie continued, âIâm a Wright, but Iâm only my fatherâs adopted daughter. Youâll get nothing from me after you marry me because I have no shares or property. You shouldnât expect anything from me.â
Still, Harry remained silent. However, in fact, thoughts kept flooding his mind. He thought, I knew /had fallen for the right person.
Natalie, youâre more sophisticated than you look. And I like everything about you, especially your bright eyes. Though it would be difficult to make you fall in love with me, Iâll be patient. Youâre worth the wait, I know While Natalie was waiting for Harry to break the silence, a waiter approached them, carrying a teapot. He then poured each of Natalie a cup of tea. However, the waiterâs hand shook when he was pouring tea for Harry, and the teacup landed on Harryâs suit âIâm so sorry! I didnât mean it!â Said the waiter in a fluster âDoes it hurt?â Natalie stood up and asked, knowing the tea was boiling hot 554 Is She Having A Blind Date?
Harry told the waiter he was fine and then wiped his shirt with a paper towel. âSorry, I need to go to the restroom. Please wait a moment.â
âSir, please come with me to the dressing room. Iâll get you anew shirt.â âAll right, thanks,â Saying that, Harry followed the waiter and left As she sipped her tea, Natalie had a sense of deja vu. She suspected the waiter had done it on purpose. Later, Natalie stood up and asked a waitresses, âHello, could you tell me where the dressing room is?â
âThat way, miss.â wee Tammy put down the magazine she was using to shield her face after Natalie left. âIs she gone?â she asked nervously Alicia replied nervously as well, âShe just left. What do you want to do?â
âFollow me.â Tammy stood up and wiped her mouth âWait for us here, Matthew.â
Matthew calmly ate his steak. âOK. Be safe,â he said âGot it.â
Awhile later, the two girls walked together toward the dressing room Tammy sent a voice message to someone as they walked, asking, âHave you arrived yet? How are things going?â
âWho is it?â
âA journalist. I asked her to do me a small favor.â
âWhy did you invite her?â Alicia widened her eyes in shock and asked âI didnât just invite a reporter, I also invited Fiona Donovan.â
âFiona Donovan? That actress?â Alicia asked, surprised
