"Daisy, come to my office for a moment."
He held his water cup and then returned to the office.
Daisy Zenith was delighted, and sprang up to run towards his office.
"Director Forrest, you wanted to see me?"
"Where did Jane Quinlan go on a blind date?"
Daisy Zenith pouted, why was Director Forrest asking this?
"Why aren’t you talking?"
Daisy Zenith scratched her forehead: "At Mingdao Café."
"Which Mingdao Café?"
"Um... on Nanjing Road."
Kay Forrest’s brow slightly raised: "So, when she just now asked for leave saying she had errands to run, she was lying to me?"
Daisy Zenith thought to herself that she might have gotten Jane Quinlan into trouble.
"Director Forrest, this matter... after all, it’s a significant event in life, and it’s important, isn’t it?"
"Did you just say her blind date is your cousin?"
"Yes," Daisy Zenith nodded.
"Did she ask to see your cousin herself?"
Daisy Zenith thought for a moment: "I mentioned him to her before, but she firmly refused to meet him, insisting on being on her own. I don’t know what happened today; suddenly she got it and said she wanted to meet."
"Alright, I got it, I was just concerned about the employees’ lifelong matters.
Going on a blind date is a good thing; there was no need to lie to me.
You go get ready to leave; it’s about time to finish work."
Daisy Zenith breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, that was close, fortunately, Director Forrest is kind-hearted and didn’t mind.
Jane Quinlan, she’s lucky indeed.
After Daisy Zenith left, Kay Forrest twirled his pen in his hand before standing up and heading out.
He went to the underground parking lot, got into his car, and drove straight to Mingdao Café.
Jane Quinlan arrived when Daisy’s cousin was already there.
She had seen Daisy’s cousin’s photo on her mobile phone, so she found him as soon as she entered.
Approaching him, Daisy’s cousin stood up and smiled at her: "You must be Jane Quinlan."
Jane Quinlan nodded: "Yes, I’m Jane Quinlan, nice to meet you, Magnus."
She stretched out her hand to Magnus, and after shaking hands, he gestured towards the seat opposite: "Please, have a seat."
After sitting down, Jane Quinlan looked around and asked: "I didn’t arrive late, did I?"
"No, I was just a little excited and came early.
Daisy often talks about you, and I’ve always wanted to meet you.
I’ve seen your photo a few times and had a good impression of you."
Hearing Magnus’s words, Jane Quinlan shyly smiled: "Daisy has also always mentioned how outstanding you are."
"It seems that we’re familiar strangers to each other."
Jane Quinlan nodded; that was true.
"You should be aware of my situation, and Daisy has told me a lot about you too.
Now that we’ve actually met, how do you feel?
Do I... fit the bill to be your boyfriend?"
The conversation shifted to this topic so soon? Jane Quinlan was somewhat flustered.
"I’m quite straightforward, I hope I didn’t startle you."
"No, not at all. I mean, although we know each other through Daisy, we don’t have to rush to decide whether we can be a couple or not.
After all... we don’t fully understand each other yet, so shouldn’t we..."
While she was speaking, someone walked by her side and stood still beside her.
She looked up to see, to her shock, it was Kay Forrest, and she abruptly stood up.
What the... why is he here?
Kay Forrest crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows at her with a smile: "Having dinner with friends?"
Seeing her nervous, Magnus also stood up: "What’s the matter, Jane Quinlan?"
Jane Quinlan bit her lip somewhat nervously and said to Kay Forrest: "I’m on a blind date."
"Blind date? Are you planning on ditching me?
Even if you want to break up, you should give me a reason first.
I haven’t even received a notice, and you’ve already started looking for someone else?"
"Huh?" Jane Quinlan was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean by that?"
"Don’t you know what I mean?" After saying that, he turned to Magnus.
"There’s something I want to make clear to you first; I don’t allow others to touch my woman.
If you want to date her, you’ll have to wait until she and I have officially broken up."
"Hey, Kay Forrest, what kind of nonsense are you talking about? When did we ever start dating?"
Jane Quinlan looked awkwardly at Magnus and then slapped Kay Forrest.
Magnus’s expression grew even more awkward: "Jane Quinlan, what on earth is going on?"
"Sorry, Magnus, it seems like I need to have a private talk with my friend here.
He seems to have misunderstood something."
"Friend? I’m just a friend to you now?
How about calling your parents and your cousin to help clarify to your date here, who exactly I am to you?"
Jane Quinlan bit her lip as she looked at Kay Forrest, wondering what on earth he was up to...
Magnus felt as though he had been played, frustrated, he quickly grabbed his bag and left.
"It seems something has gone wrong with the blind date today, I’ll take my leave first."
