She paused for a moment and then walked over.
Caspar wanted to say something else to Arya, but he suddenly felt someone was approaching. Caspar looked up and saw the person standing at the table.
He was stunned for a moment and then frowned, as if he was surprised to see Laura here.
Arya was not surprised.
"Can I sit here?" Laura asked.
She was here for a blind date. She didn't expect to meet Caspar.
Just as Caspar was about to refuse, Laura looked at Arya and said, "Can I, Mrs. Jones?"
Although they had only met once before, Arya couldn't refuse. "Sure."
"Thank you!"
Laura pulled out her chair and sat down. She didn't stand on ceremony at all. She asked the waiter to bring a cup of coffee.
Caspar was extremely uncomfortable with her behavior. She was a born socializer.
They didn't know each other well. Why was she sitting here?
There were plenty of other empty seats in the cafe.
"Are you here for coffee?" Laura also felt that the atmosphere became a little awkward because of her participation.
Caspar was expressionless. Looked like he didn't want to talk to her.
Arya glanced at Caspar and smiled at Laura. "I met Caspar when I went shopping at the mall downstairs."
"I see." Laura turned to look at Caspar.
Knowing that he didn't want to talk, she asked deliberately, "What about you, Caspar? What are you doing here?"
Caspar didn't seem to hear Laura's words. He looked down at the time.
"You have something else to buy, right? Why don't we go first?" Caspar looked at Arya and stood up from his seat.
Laura was a little embarrassed.
Arya was not as indifferent as Caspar was. She smiled at Laura to ease the awkward atmosphere. "I have to go downstairs to the mall."
Laura waved. "Sure."
She lowered her eyes and took out her cell phone from her bag. When she dialed the number, she looked at Table Six, which was still empty. She frowned unhappily. When the call was answered, she asked the matchmaker, "Why hasn't the person you introduced arrived yet? Is he reliable?"
Caspar cold-shouldered Laura, which made her depressed and unhappy, so her voice became louder.
As Caspar paid, he paused and glanced at her.
"Hasn't he arrived yet? Then I'll call and ask him."
Laura hung up the phone angrily and stood up. She said goodbye to Arya with a smile and walked towards Table Six.
"Sir?" The waiter gave Caspar the change. Caspar looked absent-mindedly at Laura, who was sitting at Table Six. Arya took the money from the waiter, patted Caspar, put it in his hand, and said with a smile, "Is the girl here?"
Caspar smiled bitterly, "I thought I was stood up. I was happy..."
Before he could finish his words, the phone in his pocket rang. It was the matchmaker who called his parents and asked why he didn't keep the appointment.
Caspar knew who was calling him. Arya patted him on the shoulder sympathetically. "It's not good to stand someone up. You'd better go."
Caspar rubbed his eyebrows and felt a headache.
He braced himself to answer the phone.
As soon as he put the phone to his ear, he heard a roar from the other side. "Caspar, why didn't you go to the appointed place? The girl has arrived. If you don't go, I will kill myself!"
Caspar kept his phone away from him and said, "I'm here. I'll hang up."
"I will ask the matchmaker about your blind date. If you dare to deliberately screw up the date, just wait and collect my body!"
After the threat, the other party hung up before Caspar did.
