âWas I charmed by his beauty? I said yes to such a ridiculous. offer because he was so good-looking.'â
Just then, the phone rang. Valda Theller picked up her phone and tapped on the answer button. Her best friend Camille Stricklandâs voice came from it. âValda, when are you free? Letâs discuss the theme for your new comic.â
Valda Theller replied, âOkay, Iâm free tomorrow. Letâs do it tomorrow morning.â
âOkay, Iâll come to your studio tomorrow morning,â said Camille Strickland. As an editor at a comic magazine, she had always been in charge of her best friend.
âOkay,â replied Valda Theller.
âBy the way, accompany me to a blind date tomorrow night after we discuss the theme,â said Camille Strickland.
âYouâre going on another blind date?â Valda Theller was speechless.
âYeah. My blind date said heâd bring a friend and asked me to bring a friend too. Maybe itâll lighten the mood. Besides, the friend heâs bringing is also single. You can give it a try if you click with that friend,â
said Camille Strickland.
Her best friend had been single for years after getting hurt in her previous relationship. She sometimes wondered if Valda shut herself off from relationships because she was so badly hurt back then.
However, Camille Stricklandâs worries shattered when she heard what her best friend said next.
âNo thanks. I already have a boyfriend,â said Valda Theller.
âWhat?â The startled voice exploded on the phone. Going out of tune, Camille Strickland shouted, âWhat did you say? You have a boyfriend?â
âYeah.â
âI guess I have a boyfriend.
âReally? What does he do for a living? How did you know each other? Why havenât you mentioned him before?â Camille Strickland asked a series of questions.
Valda Theller then realized she seemed to have no idea what he did for a living. However, the man was dressed in a suit and tie. Maybe he had to wear a suit for his job.
âIâve only met him twice⦠Uh⦠I forgot to ask what he does for a living,â Valda Theller said lamely.
Camille Strickland was speechless. âYou agreed to date him without even knowing what he does for a living? Do you not know your boyfriendâs name and where he lives?â
Valda Theller was even speechless. She seemed to reallyâ¦
have no idea!
She was too shocked and confused. She only heard him say, âOkay, thatâs settled then.â After that, the man left the small restaurant, and she followed suit.
