"Thank you so much."
After coming out of the cafe, Evelyn kept thanking the man next to her.
"You're welcome. It's no bother." The man smiled brightly.
Looking at him, Evelyn felt that he seemed to be a merciful saint who saved people from suffering. He was not only very handsome but also extremely helpful. Even his smile was almost perfect!
Alas! It seemed like she wasn't that unlucky that day because she actually met such a kindhearted person.
It seemed that there were still many good people in this world! Of course, the car owner and Lawrence were excluded! Humph!
"I really thank you so much. You don't know that if it weren't for you today, I might not be able to leave there. By the way, give me your phone number." After saying this, she added in a hurry, "I don't mean anything else. I just want to return the money to you in the future."
The man smiled slightly and did not refuse her, "Okay."
After exchanging their phone
numbers, Evelyn asked, "What's your name? Well, it's better to tell me your full name." The man raised his eyebrows slightly. After thinking for a while, he replied, "You can call me Laurant."
"Laurant?" Evelyn was stunned for a moment and thought, "Although their names are so similar... he is completely different from the man named Lawrence!"
"Right."
"Well, okay." Evelyn nodded and said with an embarrassed smile, "I will find a way to return the money to you when I go back. Thank you very much today. By the way, my name is Evelyn."
"Okay." Laurant smiled, "It's no hurry. You can return it to me when you have the money. Anyway..."
"No!" Evelyn refused him very seriously, "I owe you a favor, so I have to return it to you as soon as possible."
Looking at Evelyn like this, Laurant's eyes were full of smiles. He felt that Evelyn was extremely cute. Yeah, she was so cute that he felt happy when he looked at her.
"No problem." Laurant said with a smile, "In this way, we're friends now, aren't we?"
"Of course!" Evelyn nodded, "I'll treat you to dinner another day." After that, she smiled awkwardly, "Just take it as my gratitude to you."
After making a few polite remarks, Evelyn finally went back with her broken electric bicycle. On the way back, the breeze was blowing gently, and she had a complicated feeling in her heart, including her disdain for the car owner and Lawrence, and her gratitude to Laurant. As soon as she returned to the dormitory, her phone rang. It was Elizabeth who called her.
"Hello?"
"Evelyn, how's your blind date today? Do you like her?"
Hearing this, Evelyn immediately answered with a bitter face, "It's so bad."
Elizabeth asked with concern, "What's wrong? Is it because he is a bad man or something else?"
"Alas! It's a long story. Maybe I'm so unlucky today. Let me tell you..."
On the phone, Evelyn complained to Elizabeth with careless abandon. She told Elizabeth about her wired experiences that day. Of course, she didn't tell her that she went to Lu Enterprises to return the card to James.
James pushed the door open and went in. Seeing that Elizabeth was holding the phone with an unhappy face, he asked immediately, "What's wrong, baby? Who provoked you?" He wanted to make her happy, so he rolled up his sleeves and pretended that he wanted to beat someone, "Tell me."
Elizabeth shook her head and laughed when she saw him like that, "Why are you acting like a child? It's something about Evelyn. Today, she..."
James raised his eyebrows and said, "What's wrong with her? Didn't she go on a blind date? Doesn't she like Lawrence?"
"What are you talking about? She was delayed because of an accident. She didn't even see him, but he asked her to pay more than two thousand dollars for him!" As she said this, her anger that had been suppressed began to overflow, "Didn't mom say that he is a good man? How could he do this? It's okay if he wanted Evelyn to pay the bill, but he actually blackmailed her just because she was late! He even treated others, so it cost so much. Moreover, Evelyn works so hard but earns too little. That man is really too bad!"
"Well..." James frowned slightly when he heard that, "Lawrence did it?"
"Evelyn told me just now. How could it be wrong?"
"Alas!" James said with a smile, "He has been aboard for a few years, but he is still so childish." "Childish?" Elizabeth got so angry when she heard this, "Is that childish? He bullied Evelyn, okay?"
"Yeah!" Since Elizabeth was angry, all James could do was to chime with her, "He bullied Evelyn! He went too far! I'll talk to him later." Seeing that she was still unhappy, he immediately changed his words, "No, I will teach him a lesson!"
"Alas. It seems that Lawrence is not a person of excellent character."
James nodded, "Let mom pay attention to men from other families in the future. Don't be angry anymore."
"That's the only way." Elizabeth sighed, "Mom called me just now and asked me how Evelyn feels. I'll call her back."
"Okay."
