"Our royal highness, please re-consider my proposal. Tom's really awesome. It is not bad to have a talented doctor around you all the time. He could even be your personal midwife Doctor in the future!" The more Leena talked about matching Tom and her friend, the more she realized that the two were really perfect for each other. It was a pity that these thoughts just crossed her mind now.
"Fuck off. Should I marry a doctor just to have someone to deliver the child during my childbirth? What if I want to eat some pork chops? Should I marry a butcher too? This is my last warning. Mind your own business and don't talk nonsense. I refuse to be brainwashed by you!" Those words showed on Leena's computer screen together with a set of bloody emojis. Leena could just imagine her friend turning green with anger as of this point.
"Come on! Don't be ridiculous. I'm just considering your marriage and future. Do you really want to go on blind dates and talk with those strangers? Please worry about yourself. It's most likely for you to come across a man who would just fuck you and leave you several hours later," said Leena gleefully. Although she had never taken part in any blind date, she did hear of some women being shamelessly taken advantage of by freaks they met. Thus, Leena developed an automatic rejection to blind dating.
"Leaving me after fucking me? That's not possible. I will beat him to death even before he realizes how bad the consequences of letting me down are. By the way, you haven't answered my question. Are you going with me or not? I might get too nervous if I'm alone tomorrow. You know that, right?" She sent a pleading emoji to Leena. Thanks to her straight-forward and picky attitude, she really didn't have anyone else to bug, but Leena alone.
"Then don't go! You're not yet an old maid. Men would fight for your love and kisses, Empress." Leena stopped recommending Tom to her bosom friend after she realized how much her friend hated doctors. Shoot! Why did Tom even end up as a doctor? She couldn't push her too much now!
"Going on a blind date isn't my idea. It was my parents who arranged it. They found it strange and bothersome that I'm still single at my twenties. They think that I'm abnormal because I haven't had a boyfriend yet and they are getting paranoid that I might die as an old maid!" A set of emojis were sent by Leena's bosom friend to her computer and Leena automatically understood how desperate her friend was.
"Oh? Your parents should stay calm. You just graduated from the university. Tell them that you still have a long way to go. I guarantee that you'll get a husband who loves and respects you in the near future. Tell Uncle and Auntie to relax! My friend, everything is fine." Leena typed those words with several smiling emojis. She sent them confidently to her friend.
"I know. I'll only do you a favor this time. Bear in mind though that this will be the last." Leena let out a hopeless sigh upon sending her message. She told herself that she would just accompany her bosom friend for the blind date and there should be nothing wrong with it. She was a married woman who would stay loyal to her husband no matter what. She didn't think that Kevin would make a big deal of her good intentions even if he found out.
"Of course, I won't force you to do it again. Have you forgotten that this blind date is only arranged by my parents? I won't allow them to do it again. Unless you are looking forward to attending one more blind date. Then, it's settled. I'll call you tomorrow. Bye!" Patricia sent an extremely funny picture as if she was a bossy overbearing queen who was leaving.
"Thank you, your highness!" Leena pretended to kowtow as if to show her respect to Patricia, the queen. It was a few seconds after when another thought suddenly hit Leena and made her speechless for a while. 'What if the man on the blind date falls for me rather than Patricia?' Although it wasn't supposed to occur, there was always a possibility for the man to grow more fond of the third wheel rather than the woman he was dating instead. She had always been the apple of men's eyes whenever she and her friends went out together. She had a consistent record of being the first to be spotted and the first to get chosen by men as well. She knew this situation so well that she ended up doing a facepalm while thinking, 'Heaven help me. Please!'
