Xavien felt a twinge of anxiety.
"What if they discover the truth?"
"It's not a problem to close the loop when they do," Sean remarked casually.
They had set the trap, and Sean controlled all the funds in the website's account.
Xavien nodded in agreement and remained silent.
The following day, just past noon, while Sean was occupied, Lina phoned him.
"I've arranged to meet a few potential matches for you. I believe one of them is quite promising. Would you like to come over and meet her? I'm spending time with the girl at home," Lina inquired.
"Alright, then. I'll prepare a gift first," Sean responded.
"Great! Etiquette is indeed important," Lina replied affirmatively.
After ending the call, Sean turned to Xavien, who was about to order food and said, "No need to order. I have a prior engagement. Let's head to the mall first."
Xavien promptly stood up and agreed, "Okay."
Upon arriving at the mall, Xavien trailed behind Sean as the latter entered a high-end handbag boutique.
To Xavien's surprise, it was a women's handbag store.
Xavien was filled with questions as he curiously observed Sean.
Meanwhile, the sales manager nearby had been observing Sean for a while. Seeing that he hadn't found a suitable bag after half a day, she approached and asked, "May I ask who the bag is for?"
Recognizing the salesperson's high emotional intelligence, Sean replied, "It's for a blind date. We're meeting for the first time today."
"Ah, I see. This black and white checkered one is just the right size and features a classic style that suits any woman, regardless of her personality or appearance." The sales manager recommended a bag and presented it to Sean.
Sean reached out to inspect it carefully.
"We only have three of this style in stock. One was purchased by a wealthy lady overseas, and another is owned by a popular actress in the entertainment industry, so there won't be any bag clash scenarios," the sales manager added.
Impressed by Sean's refined demeanor, she assumed he must be quite discerning.
"I'll take this one," Sean stated.
The sales manager promptly had the bag wrapped by a salesperson.
As they exited the store, Xavien couldn't resist asking, "Are you really going on a blind date?"
After all these years, he no longer viewed himself as subordinate in personal matters.
"What's wrong with that? Can't I go on a blind date?" Sean responded calmly.
Xavien furrowed his brows, struggling to voice his thoughts, and eventually asked softly, "Are you no longer waiting?"
"Didn't you see what happened that day?" Sean replied calmly.
It was Abigail who had given up on him, not the other way around.
"Thank you." Irene took it and placed it on the coffee table.
"You two chat. I'll go to the kitchen." Lina had a keen eye, and after saying that, she quickly slipped away.
Sean sat down and sent a message to Xavien as he commented, "We can see how things go. I'm quite busy from Monday to Friday, but I can accompany you for dinners in the evenings."
When he said this, Sean was very elegant, with a unique warmth.
Irene smiled and asked him, "Mr. Graham, what are your hobbies?"
Sean was taken aback by her question. I don't think I have any particular hobbies…
"No hobbies," he replied in a deep voice.
"No hobbies? I don't have any hobbies either." Irene smiled.
Sean couldn't help but feel like she was a bit too typical of ladylike behavior.
Suddenly, the two of them had nothing to say to each other.
Sean felt a headache coming on, thinking it would be better to find a partner to work with so they could talk about work together.
Sitting together, the duo had absolutely no topics to discuss.
Irene hesitated for a moment and finally sighed helplessly. "Mr. Graham, I won't pretend anymore. If you think it's appropriate, we'll see where this goes. If you think it's not suitable, I'll leave after lunch."
