As they were in a stalemate, the air around them became thin because of the silence.
"Tell me. You can stay here tonight." Maynard sat on the sofa in front of him and rubbed the acupuncture points near his temples.
"Deal." Said Bernard with a big smile on his face.
Viola cleared her throat, sat beside him and whispered: "Then should you tell Mr. Chu what's on the phone?"
"His father said he should care about his marriage."
Bernard crossed his arms over his chest and smiled slyly.
Being afraid of being hated by him, she silently got away from him.
"You are kidding me!" With a gloomy face, Maynard thumped the table angrily.
Bernard picked up an apple from the fruit basket and said provocatively, "You can't drive me away now."
In an instant, a murderous look was given off in Maynard's eyes.
On the other side, Viola was still on pins and needles, and she was afraid that they would have a fight with her, so she tried her best to compose herself and said, "Mr. Chu, this is very important. Please see how he has dealt with it, and how do you handle it?" Viola came to her senses and poked Bernard in the arm.
"Don't worry. I have handled everything well." Bernard said mysteriously.
"You'd better be." Maynard said and gave him a deep look.
Because of the distance between them, Viola accidentally saw the light in Bernard's eyes. Her eyelids twitched and she had a bad feeling. "I'll go first. Take your time."
Before she left, she gave him a hard kick to vent her anger. She ran away with satisfaction after seeing him grimace.
The next morning, the rash on Viola's face disappeared. She was waken up by the ringing phone.
She washed and changed in a hurry. Then she ran to the most expensive French restaurant of A City as she asked for leave.
Seeing the little girl bending over the transparent glass, she bent down and patted her on the shoulder softly. "Baby, what do you want to see me about?"
The little girl turned around to see it was her, grabbed the corner of her clothes and said with sadness on her little face, "Do you know what is the happiest and the most unfortunate thing in the world?"
Viola paused and asked, "What is it?"
"What makes me happy is that I have a handsome and rich dad. Unfortunately, my dad is on a blind date with another woman." The little girl stared at the dining room with resentment in her eyes.
She had not yet got the chance to laugh at Maynard for he had ended up with a blind date. Noticing the expression in her eyes, she took the opportunity to look in the direction of her eyes and was startled.
She saw Maynard, who was in a tidy suit, was talking with a hot woman with heavy makeup. One of them had a ruthless face, and the other had a shy smile. They seemed to get along well in a short time.
"You call me here just to let me see them go on a blind date?"
"Ahahah..." The little girl bit her fingers and complained, "you don't know that the Witcher received a call from grandpa last night and arranged many blind dates for daddy."
"I knew it!" said Viola, nodding her head. "Now that your daddy is willing to come, he should be happy for it."
"My daddy was tricked to come here. And he was also troubled by those ugly gossips."
At the mention of this, the little girl's eyes turned red and almost burst into tears.
She felt sorry for Maynard. She squatted down and comforted the little girl, "Don't be sad. At worst, I'll be here with you."
"Aunt Viola, please help me." The little girl suddenly grabbed her as if she was a life-saving straw.
Viola stepped back several times to dodge, "Well, I think I can't help you."
"Aunt Viola, as long as you help me and my dad perfect match up and don't give the Witcher the chance to tell Grandpa, I will give you a big hug." The little girl blinked her big eyes, acting like a spoiled child.
"You don't have to hug me. Why did you say it's you and your dad?"
