He fidgeted with his cup of coffee in annoyance. Just when he was about to leave, someone pushed the glass door of the café open. A woman, who was dressed fashionably with a pair of sunglasses on, walked in slowly.
“I’m sorry, the traffic was congested. You must have waited for long, Mr. Lochlan.” Olivia took off her sunglasses and flashed him a smile which she thought was pretty.
“I just arrived too,” replied Lochlan indifferently.
Olivia scrutinized the man in front of her. Wearing a suit, he had a dignified aura. In addition to his good looks, he came from a wealthy family too. She heard that he was a firefighter who did not like to inherit the family business.
How interesting.
“Mr. Lochlan, do you have any hobbies?”
“Not really.”
“What do you like to eat? Western or Asian?”
“Ms. Warhol, I’ll get straight to the point.” Annoyed, Lochlan interrupted Olivia’s questions. He raised his dark eyes and finally looked at her. “I have someone whom I like. This blind date was arranged by my mother against my wishes. I’m sorry but I’ll have to go first.”
Olivia, who was initially very interested, immediately turned upset. She exclaimed in a high-pitched voice, “What did you say?”
Lochlan stood up. He knew that his attitude would infuriate her, but he needed to tell her. “I’m saying that we’re not right for each other.”
“Lochlan, you’re being such a bully! Do you think that I won’t be able to marry? Or do you think that you’re extremely charming?” Olivia was so furious that her face turned pale and her body was quivering. “Let me tell you this. You’ll pay for your actions today!”
“I’m sorry, Ms. Warhol.” Lochlan apologized to Olivia. With that, he strode out of the café briskly.
Overcome by fury, Olivia grabbed the cup of coffee on the table and hurled it at his back.
Lochlan felt a pang of pain coming from his back. The coffee mug fell onto the ground and broke into smithereens.
The hot coffee seeped through his suit and burned his back while leaving a large stain on the expensive suit.
It was an alarming sight.
He turned around slowly and glared at Olivia coldly. “I’m shocked by your character, Ms. Warhol.”
After speaking, he left without looking back.
The moment he exited the café, his phone rang.
