    Luckily, she was quick. She rapidly steadied herself by grabbing the door of the car, avoiding a bad fall. Xanthe looked at Lucy like she had seen a ghost. "Are you crazy or I am the crazy one?"


    Lucy clicked her tongue, dismissing Xanthe''s denial. "Why did you chat with him for so long after getting off the ne if you don''t love him? You haven''t called your mom and dad yet, Xanthe was a bit angry. She tapped on Lucy''s head. "He called 1. me.


    Lucy was a bit angry, holding her head. "You even gave him bad advice to ruin his date!"


    Hearing Lucy''s retort, Xanthe was annoyed. She said impatiently. "He asked for it! I was just helping his date so she wouldn''t fall into that loser trap! What''s your problem?


    "Why are you so caught up in his problems? If you care about him that much, I''ll get you a ne ticket back to Crescentville right now."


    Seeing that Xanthe was angry, Lucy grudgingly shut up though she had a lot to say. After all, the trip to La Vido was a reward from Enrique for Xanthe''s improvement in her finals. Lucy managed to cheekily tag along with Xanthe


    After all, Enrique was so rich that he gave Xanthe a ck credit card. Everything in La Vido was pricey and her dad only gave her about 300 bucks a month. If she didn''t y up to Xanthe, she would have been stay in the hotel room for the next few days.


    Thinking about this, Lucy quickly put on an ingratiating smile and turned to Xanthe. "I was wrong. Don''t be angry with me. I''m just worried about you. We are close friends. I am afraid your boyfriend will fool you."


    Xanthe couldn''t help butin. "Him" My boyfriend? He''s absolutely not. You should worry about yourself. I was worried your mom would scold you because of your scores on the final exams. So I came here with you!"


    Lucy stiffened but she said, to please Xanthe, "You''re right! You re closer to me than my sister. I promise I''ll study hard next semester!" Xanthe ignored her and started texting her family.


    Lucy turned around, pretending to be enjoying the scenery outside the window. Her reflection in the car window showed her jealousy and resentfulness.

    Sean handed the menu to Joan. "I heard Ms. Berret likes seafood so I ordered a few simple dishes of seafood. I hope you''ll like them.


    Joan nced over the menu, feeling quite pleased. Everything matched her preferences perfectly. She hadn''t expected much from this blind date. She just came here to fulfill the task of her family. Unexpectedly, Sean seemed much more thoughtful than she imagined. Joan rested her hands on the table, gazing casually at Sean as he poured red wine for her.


    She said slowly, "Mr. Sean, there''s no need to act anymore."


    Sean paused for a moment. Instantly, he put down the wine bottle and smiled, "Ms. Berret, I''m not sure what you mean."


    Joan leaned back casually. Her attitude was quite like Sean''s. She stuck her chin slightly. Tve looked into you. We''re simr people. Our families worry about us a lot. We have to agree to this blind date they put a lot of pressure on us." Sean smiled without saying anything.
