Did she truly like Sebastian?
Minerva did not know how to answer this question. The relationship between her and Maddox... It was not a matter of whether she liked him or not.
However, if she really needed to answer this question...
Minerva smiled faintly and replied, "I don't like him."
Geoffrey widened his eyes in disbelief and gaped, "You don't?"
What was he hearing? Did he make the wrong move then?
"In fact, he is someone rooted in the bottom of my heart."
Just when Geoffrey thought that he had made a mistake, Minerva's next sentence made his eyes widen even larger.
"W-what... He's someone rooted in the bottom of your heart? Are you so deeply in love with Sebastian?"
This couldn't be right.
Geoffrey narrowed his eyes and stared carefully at Minerva. She was sitting opposite to him, but her tone was slightly sad and heavy when she said this. Her eyes seemed to be looking at him, but it was obvious that her mind had drifted somewhere far away.
Geoffrey had a feeling that he knew what Minerva was thinking.
Geoffrey coughed softly, pulling Minerva back to reality as he asked, "Minerva, did... did you know Sebastian?"
These words suddenly made Minerva come back to her senses. She realized that she might have made an accidental slip of the tongue. What if Geoffrey discovered something?
At the thought of this, she put on a meek smile. In order to not let Geoffrey discover her past, she made fun of him.
"Why? Do I have to know him for a long time to care about him? Why can't I fall in love with him at first sight?"
Geoffrey was stunned.
Could it be that all the women acted like this nowadays?
He couldn't help but complain, "Why can't I have a woman treat me like this?" As though feeling unsatisfied, he even reached out and caressed his own face, grumbling, "Is it because I'm not good-looking enough?"
Minerva finally heaved a sigh of relief when she saw how simple-minded he was. He wouldn't suspect her anymore, right?
Fortunately, Geoffrey was easy to trick.
If he were a little more smarter, he would probably be suspicious of her.
Thinking of this, Minerva explained softly, "It all depends on fate. Besides, won't you be annoyed if a woman really falls for you?"
Hearing Minerva's words, Geoffrey nodded his head in agreement, "That's right. I definitely can't stand it if a woman treats me like this. After all, I'm someone who emphasizes freedom and beauty. If it wasn't because I know you like Sebastian, I would've tried pursuing you myself."
Minerva was lost for words.
Seeing that she had fallen silent, Geoffrey began to laugh loudly, "Of course. It's not what you think it is. Minny, now that you like Sebastian, I definitely won't do anything to you. Don't worry."
Minerva was still dumbfounded.
The two of them sat in the coffee shop for a while. Geoffrey soon started exclaiming that he was hungry and that he wanted to invite Minerva to lunch.
Minerva thought about it. He had come all the way just to tell her these, and that was pretty thoughtful of him. Thus, she offered, "Forget it, I'll treat you."
"Really? If I pick a high-end restaurant, will you go bankrupt?"
Minerva refused to entertain his jokes.
"Don't worry, it's not that easy for me to go bankrupt," She replied calmly.
Maybe Geoffrey assumed that she was a normal employee with a normal salary. That was why he was worried she'd go bankrupt just treating him to lunch.
After hearing her reply, Geoffrey muttered, "Is it true you won't go bankrupt? Aren't you just a new intern? Your salary isn't going to be high. What if I used up half of your salary for this meal?"
Minerva quickly changed her mind after hearing what he said, "That's true. If that's the case, pick something cheap."
Geoffrey groaned in frustration, "D*mn it!"
Finally, he took her to a restaurant. After entering the restaurant, Minerva noticed that the interior design of the restaurant was trendy and quite suited to her taste, so she couldn't help but stare at it for some time longer. Geoffrey, on the other hand, assumed that she was trying to guess how luxurious this restaurant was. He quickly explained to her, "Don't worry, it's my treat today. You can treat me next time."

Minerva blinked. Then, she could treat him to a meal at such a place if she wanted to.
The two of them went up to the second floor and found a quiet private room. Minerva followed Geoffrey into the room and asked, "We're just having lunch. Why are we getting a private room to ourselves?"
"Don't you know that it is easier for us to do things in private? Did you really think I was just treating you to lunch?"
Minerva was shocked upon hearing this.
Geoffrey waved the phone in his hand at her and continued, "I'll create an opportunity for you and Sebastian to meet each other. I'll send him a message to him later."
Minerva couldn't help but think about how good Geoffrey was at playing matchmaker.
With that, the number of encounters she had with Maddox now increased.
However... Minerva was worried. Maddox didn't seem... moved at all.
Wasn't she the person he was most familiar with? Why was he not moved at all? Wasn't there a saying that for those with amnesia, spending time with those closer to them would help trigger their memories?
Could it be... that she had used the wrong method?
Of course, he knew that Sebastian wasn't interested in Facebook, so he sent a private message to Maddox.
The message read, "Sebastian, go take a look at my Facebook profile."
After waiting for about a minute, the man on the other end replied to him with two harsh words.novelbin
"Get lost."
At the sight of this word, Geoffrey scoffed. He chuckled and continued typing, "Come on, go have a look, it's a surprise, and it'll be helpful to you."
Soon, Maddox stopped replying. Clearly, he was annoyed at Geoffrey's little pranks.
Geoffrey secretly cursed. It was clear that the man he was dealing with had no shred of urgency nor common sense. Hence, Geoffrey decided to pull out his ultimate card.
He sent a screenshot of his post to Sebastian. As expected, Sebastian replied to him, but only with a single question mark.
Although it was just a question mark, Geoffrey felt that there was a lot to be said behind the single question mark.
In a way, he was a genius for making Sebastian question something!
Geoffrey continued typing excitedly, "I'm having a lunch date with a beauty, aren't you envious of me?"
After this message was sent out, Geoffrey could not help but chuckle naughtily.
"What happened to you?" Minerva couldn't help but ask when she saw him laughing at his phone.
Geoffrey came to his senses and shook his head immediately, explaining, "Nothing. I just saw a good joke."
"Oh, I see."
The two of them quieted down. Minerva soon found that she was bored. Thus, she took out her phone as well.
The disadvantage of having meals with an unfamiliar person was that they had nothing to talk about at all. The atmosphere at the table was quiet and awkward.
If it wasn't because Geoffrey had been helping her all this while, she would've never agreed to come out with him...
