After her ramble, Mrs. Raven hung the phone up.
Eric had a look of disbelief plastered on his face. That woman was too aggressive. She did not even hear his opinion and forced him to meet up with her. Was that wise?
Since Mrs. Raven hung up, the call with his mother resumed.
"Eric, why are you not talking?"
"Mom, a call came in just now," Eric explained.
"Oh, was it Nadia’s mother?" His mother guessed it immediately. She was rather excited, "What did she say to you? Did she ask to meet with you? Eric, if she wants to meet you, go get dressed and meet with her. "Mom, aren't you afraid that this blind date fails, and someone exposes me on the internet?" Eric did not want his personal life to be the hot topic of the internet.
"If this blind date fails and this matter gets exposed, you won't lose out. Your fans will surely think that Nadia is at fault. They will surely protect you!"
"Okay, Mom, stop talking. I'll go, but only this one time. This is the last time. In the future, don't arrange any blind dates for me anymore. You forced me to do things, this only works once. It won't work the second time," Eric said to his mother directly.
"Eric, calm down and think. In the past, when I saw pretty girls, did I ever force them on you? No girl on this Earth will make me like her just because she is pretty.
Eric wanted to say, "But he is a man," but at the thought that his mother would not believe him, he gave up.
After the call, Eric called his assistant.
"Fred, what should I do?"
Fred said, "Mr. Santos, I can't help you this time. After all, she is elderly and she saw your photo. Women at this age are not easily fooled."
Eric raised his eyebrows. "Are you asking me to go there?"
"If you don't, when Mrs. Raven sees you and realizes that you are not the same person in the photo, don't you think she will call your mother immediately? What if she takes a photo of me and sends it to your mother? Guess what would her reaction be?" At that, Eric's face turned blue.
"Mr. Santos, be a little more open-minded. You're going to see that boy's mother, not that boy. Once you see his mother, just tell her that you can't be with her son. Get their family to give up on you. That way, you won't need to see them again," Fred suggested to Eric.
