Chapter 253 Donât Wish to Let Her Slip Away âNow that thereâs a customer, he is also here for her.â
âAh, the pianist, huh? Sheâs busy with her blind date now.â
Brendan stopped flipping through the menu. His dark eyes narrowed when he said, â Blind date?â
âYes.â The waitress tittered. âItâs true that she is good at playing the piano, but sheâs hideous and blind.
No man would ever be attracted to her, so the cleaning lady kindly arranged a blind date for her. Even though the man is seven or eight years older than her, a woman like her doesnât have many options.â
Coldness flashed past Brendanâs dark eyes. The waitress felt a chill down her spine when she saw Brendanâs gaze and forced a smile. âWhat happened, sir?â
âWhere is she?â
The waitress was stunned. Then, she pointed at the corner and said, âThere.â
Deirdre and the man were sitting in a blind corner that one would not see without paying close attention to the area. Brendan shifted his gaze to the man.
One could totally describe him as grotesque.
He snorted. Even though Deirdre was blind, she should make better choices.
However, he saw the bright smile on Deirdreâs face in an instant. She was laughing so hard that her body was shaking. Even though her gaze was empty, the joy on her face could not be concealed.
At that very moment, Brendan furrowed his eyebrows ferociously. After all, he had not seen Deirdre laughing so joyously lately.
âSo it turns out that this is just how the cleaning lady behaves. She is reckless. indeed.â Deirdre took a sip of water. âI told her that Iâm not looking into marriage currently, but she was very insistent that she had already invited you here today.â
âIâm very frustrated as well.â The man shrugged and said, âShe called me more than ten times today.
But I understand that this is just how life is when you grow older. The people around me are always on the lookout to get me a girlfriend because they are afraid Iâll be lonely for the rest of my life.â
Deirdre nodded while she stretched out her hand to reach for the glass once again.
This time, she misjudged the angle and knocked over the glass, drenching her dress. instantly.
âAre you alright, Ms. McKinnon?!â
The man gasped and grabbed some napkins in an attempt to help Deirdre dry her dress. âYou still need to perform on stage later. It will look bad if your dress is wet!â
Deirdre was overwhelmed by the unexpected favor and stretched out her arms in an attempt to stop the man. âItâs fine⦠Donât worry, Iâm fineâ¦â
She stretched out her arms to shield herself from the man. Her arms were beautiful, slender, and fair.
The man was distracted by the beauty of her arms for a moment. Then, he chuckled. âDonât be shy, Ms.
McKinnon. I have a younger sister at home and Iâm used to taking care of others anyway. You canât see, so it would be difficult for you to clean up.â
He helped Deirdre clean up meticulously bit by bit but he could not help saying, âTo be frank, I am looking for someone as joyous and gentle as you to spend the rest of my life with, Ms. McKinnon.
Besides, Iâm really good at taking care of people. If you wereâ¦
âIf you were what?â
Deirdre was caught off guard by the voice that came from behind her. She felt goosebumps, and astoundment filled her eyes.
âBrendan? Why is he here?â
The man did not understand the situation yet. He looked at Brendan, who was wearing a branded suit, with an elegant, graceful mannerism and approached him, yet Brendanâs eyes were glistening with rage, as if he wanted to kill someone.
He did not answer, but Brendan pressured him by asking, âIf you were what?â
The man could not bring himself to continue his sentence but said in confusion, âSir, how⦠how can I help you?â
Deirdre felt her chest tighten and she got up from her seat in a haste. She was afraid that Brendan would lose his temper and she was even more afraid that he would ruin. her calm workplace atmosphere. She said with a pale face, âIâm sorry, Mr. Carlson. This is a customer who is here to watch my performance. He has grown impatient from the wait and he is hot-tempered. How about⦠we put an end to todayâs meeting? Is that alright?â
Trevor felt unwilling to part with Deirdre.
He was not picky anymore at his age and he did not wish to let a well-mannered woman like Deirdre slip away.
