After hurrying back to his hotel room to change into some better clothes, Gerald immediately headed for a restaurant called Johnsbury Bistro.
While he was on his way there, Xeno and Sienna were already at the restaurant.
Three other people were in the private room with them.
One of them was Sienna’s colleague while the other two were the girl who was going to be Gerald’s blind date today as well as her mother.
The girl had long, black hair, and her skin was very fair. She looked both delicate and beautiful. However, her looks dictated her behavior as she seemed cold and her head was lowered most of the time as she constantly looked through her WeChat.
Her mother, on the other hand, was a plump middle-aged woman with tattooed eyebrows that looked similar to caterpillars. Contrasting her daughter, she looked rather sturdy and even formidable.
“Gerald’s a very nice person, and we’re not praising him for the sake of it either. You’ll know what we mean when you meet later. What more, he graduated from a prestigious university and he’s quite handsome as well! He’s started looking for a job and I heard that he’s aiming to work for a public office. Don’t let that get your hopes down, though. He recently just bought a house in Serene County!” explained Sienna as they waited.
Though Sienna had some resentment for Gerald in recent years, she wasn’t always like that. She used to have a good relationship with him during junior high due to him constantly being around Xeno.
The slight hatred only began because of the incident that had caused Xeno to be expelled back then. However, the resentment she had for him had now dissipated after the events of this morning.
She was now sincerely worried for Gerald as well, and she wanted to do all she could to help him.
“Well, how big is the house that he bought? If it has less than three rooms, can it even be considered to be a house? There must be at least three bedrooms, two living rooms, and two bathrooms!” asked the girl as she finally raised her head.
“Well wouldn’t you know it? His new house fits your bare minimum! Haha!” replied Xeno.
“Well, what about his car? What car is he driving now?”
This time, it was her mother who asked.
“Oh, he doesn’t have a car yet. But you know, cars aren’t worth that much money in the first place!” replied Xeno.
Her mother coughed before saying, “Well, you see, having a house or a car isn’t the most important thing to us. We just hope that he’s an honest man! I won’t accept a man who only likes to brag and talk big!”
“Oh, you can be assured that that guy’s the most honest man on the planet! We grew up together so we’re more than certain about his personality,” replied Sienna.
While everyone was chatting, Gerald finally opened the door and entered the room.
“Gerald! There you are! Come over here quickly so that I can introduce you to them!” said Xeno with a smile as he began introducing the two parties to one another.
