That was impossible.
Getting Noel to quit being Julian’s assistant was worse than making him fall out of love. It was almost akin to
murder. That would really make Noel lose all aim in life.
“Fine, I’ll go,” Noel said.
All he needed to do when he was there was to politely reject the lady. Not turning up for the blind date would indeed
disappoint Diana.
Diana was so kind to him, so Noel couldn’t bear to make Diana appear dishonest.
However, he didn’t get changed. By the time Julian realized what happened, Noel was already on his way.
Julian decided not to pursue the matter.
Anyway, Noel’s blind date wouldn’t be able to see him.
To help Noel choose a better partner this time, the blind date Diana prepared involved a thick layer of curtain in

next stage.
Given Noel’s current state…
He probably wasn’t in the mood to chat, especially so enthusiastically that it would lead to the curtains opening so
that him and his date could see each other.
Julian wasn’t very optimistic about the blind date. He expected Noel to return very soon after the blind date.
The sun was shining brightly. Even in the afternoon, the sunshine remained bright and intense.
Cecilia was rather fearful of such weather.
Bright sunshine during summer meant heat.
Walking under the bright sunshine would make your skin sticky and sweaty, and the heat brought discomfort one
couldn’t shake off easily.
Even so, the blind date in the afternoon was very important.
It was with a partner that her mother had searched for very long. If she didn’t go for it, her family would definitely
nag at her for being unable to let go of Noel.
What was there for Cecilia to hold on to?
Noel was the one who had let her down.
Whenever she thought of him, she would get upset. Dark clouds would form above her head, giving her a solemn
impression.
“Don’t forget to smile when you reach the café and see your blind date,” Sue reminded her Cecilia, handing her an
umbrella. “It’s very sunny outside. Don’t get yourself too tanned.”
Cecilia nodded. “I got it.”
Although she knew she really shouldn’t pick a fight with her mother, she couldn’t help but tease, “If the other party
is very ugly and has pockmarked skin, must I still smile at him?”
“Forget about that.” Sue gently pushed Cecilia’s shoulder. “I’ve seen his photo. He’s very handsome.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe reminded Cecilia again, “You’ll see him seated at the last seat by the window, at the café by the road.”
She paused for a while. Ultimately, she still cared more for her daughter, and said, “If you really don’t fancy him,
you can choose not to enter the café and just come home.”
Sue had thought things through. If Cecilia really wasn’t able to find a man she fancied, that would only be for the
time being.
Sue would use everything she had—all her power and her network—to search for suitable men beyond the shores
of Richburgh. As long as she could find someone suitable, she would immediately introduce him to Cecilia.
After trying thousands of times, Cecilia would definitely be able to find someone she fancied!
Cecilia was completely unaware of her mother’s plans, but she held this blind date in high regard.
Since she didn’t have a good eye for men, getting her wise and knowledgeable mother’s help in selecting a
handsome young man was definitely a good idea!
She asked the driver to drop her at the café by the road. After she got out of the car, she opened the umbrella to
shield herself from the sun.
