Matilda nodded. “Yes. He said that he had accidentally split the curtain in his home yesterday, so hewanted me to choose a new one with him. Initially, I didn’t want to go, but my mom agreed to hisrequest for me, so I’m left with no choice now.”
After that, she gave Logan a glance. “What’s wrong with him? He seems displeased.” At that instant,she noticed the bruise on his face, so she frowned. “Did he accidentally bump into any object orsomething?”
Sure enough, no one would have imagined that Logan was attacked. Even his father doesn’t dare tolay a hand on him, for Logan will certainly retaliate. Why would anyone have the courage to punch himin the face? Sophia thought.
Logan turned to look at Sophia, who replied, “Oh, after we had breakfast, he crashed into the glassdoor because he wasn’t paying attention. You can see how hard he hurt himself.”
Having no idea of what had happened earlier, Matilda trusted her words. After examining the bruise,she commented, “Poor thing. The bruise looks serious.”
Feeling uneasy, Logan touched his face and looked away. Since he was in a bad mood, he didn’tsuggest playing poker even when they were around.
Sitting beside him, Matilda said, “I’m surprised that you didn’t invite us to play poker today.”
After letting out a sigh, Logan replied, “No. Considering the state I’m in, I’ll be destroyed by the rest ofyou in the game.”
Matilda laughed. “Even if you’re energetic, you will still be destroyed by the rest of us.” When she didn’tget a response from him, Matilda was surprised.
Logan wasn’t a man who would accept criticisms. Normally, when he was criticized, he would rebukethat person immediately. It was rare for him to simply fall silent after being mocked. novelbin
Staring at him, Matilda decided against voicing her doubt, even though she was curious.
Knowing that Logan wasn’t in the mood, Sophia started asking Matilda about the man the latter wasgoing to date.
Looking embarrassed, Matilda replied, “It isn’t a date. We’re just going to meet up and have a chat.Seriously, this is not a date.”
Amused by the look on her face, Sophia said, “Since the both of you are adults, it doesn’t have to besaid out clearly. Even if you don’t think it’s a date, the man may think otherwise. What if he thinks thatyou’ve agreed to go out with him because you’re somewhat fond of him? What will you do?”
Upon heaving a sigh, Matilda said, “Yesterday, I made it clear to him that it was my mom who hadarranged the date, and I wasn’t looking for a boyfriend. However, he said that he could understand thesituation I was in and insisted that we could start getting in touch as friends first.”
With her lips curled up, Sophia shook her head. “This man is smart. I have a feeling that if you keep intouch with him, you will be put at a disadvantage.”
Matilda was a rather simple-minded woman, while the man was obviously a sophisticated andexperienced man, so she probably wouldn’t be able to gain an upper hand in their contact with each
other.
Not minding it one bit, Matilda replied, “It’s fine. I don’t intend to get in touch with him frequentlyanyway. I just want my mom to stop nagging me now.” Then, she went on to talk about the man’sbackground.
The man was divorced. After his former wife fell in love with a foreigner, she brought their kid with herto settle in another country. He had remained single for many years now.
Although he ran a successful business, his achievement wasn’t comparable to William’s. While Williaminherited the company from his father, the man started from scratch. Hence, the man could beconsidered to be more successful compared to other entrepreneurs.
Upon learning his background, Sophia grunted. “It seems that he’s a nice guy.”
Matilda laughed. “Whether he’s nice or not, I won’t get together with him.” Although the man is politeand gentle, he just lacks a certain quality that I like. Anyway, he’s not my cup of tea, Matilda thought. Awhile later, her phone started ringing.
