Jordan knew everything about Victoria's love life.
She only had one man, Russell, before Jordan.
However, now that he was asking in the identity of an otherworldly expert, would she give a different answer?
Victoria was not a woman who was good at lying, and her answer did not disappoint Jordan.
Taking in a puff of her cigarette, she smiled. "If I said that I've never fallen in love before, would you believe me?"
Jordan stroked his fake beard thoughtfully.
Victoria said, "I'm already 30 years old this year, but I don't think I've ever been in a proper relationship in my life. I admit that I had a man when I was 20 years old. I was with him for three years and left him at 23. For seven whole years, I didn't even hold hands with anyone of the opposite sex."
Jordan knew that the man Victoria was talking about was Russell. When Victoria first confessed her feelings to Jordan, she had told him everything.
In the end, Victoria was a frank and direct woman. She didn't like to hide things. It was better to make things clear before they got together. This way was much better than waiting for Jordan to find out only after they got together, and end up breaking up because he couldn't accept it.
Victoria was also a smart woman. She knew that no secret could remain hidden forever. Moreover, Russell was a big shot.
It was better that she made things clear right from the start so that if Jordan did mind, they should not begin a relationship.
It was better than finding out only after they had truly fallen in love. Hearts would be broken and lead to more suffering.
Jordan said, "Yes, when I touched your palm previously, I could already tell that you haven't had any recent romantic liaisons. However, good fortune can follow after a period of low luck. You've been single for a full seven years. Your destined one is about to appear."
Victoria was delighted. "Really? What does that person look like? What does he do?"
Jordan asked, "Perhaps that person may have already appeared in your life recently. Have you met anyone you like in recent times?"
Victoria shook her head. "I only see fat bosses all day, or employees who don't even dare to raise their heads when they see me. I don't like them... Ah, I did meet a young man at a birthday banquet just now. I quite like him..."
Jordan was very happy. He knew that Victoria was talking about him.
'Hehe, I didn't expect Victoria to fall in love with me at first sight!'
To be honest, Jordan didn't fall in love with Victoria at first sight. Perhaps it was because he was still very affected by Hailey's cheating at that time. When they first met, he only thought that Victoria was beautiful.
Jordan quickly said, "Tell me your date and time of birth!"
Victoria told him. Jordan pretended to divine and said happily, "This year, you will obtain the love you have been looking forward to for a long time. Moreover, your luck in romance begins today. The young man you mentioned will very likely be the man whom you will spend the rest of your life with!"
Victoria opened her mouth wide. "Huh? Is that true? But that young man rejected me today. Also, all the big business bosses in Orlando have blacklisted him. I think he will leave Orlando immediately and we'll never have the chance to meet again."
Jordan chuckled. "Since he's the man you're destined to be with, how can you not meet him? I predict that you'll meet him soon. It might be tomorrow. And the next time you meet him, he might give you a big surprise!"
Tomorrow morning, when Victoria went to the office, she would meet Jordan and find out his true identity.
Jordan remembered that when she saw him in the President's office, she was so shocked that she had knelt down on the spot.
After the two of them got together, Jordan asked Victoria if she felt embarrassed to have fallen to her knees before him.
