Blind Date Turned Proposal

The woman who approached them radiated confidence and elegance. Her lips curled into a warm smile as she inquired, “Who is she?”

Josie’s eyes darted around but eventually met the woman’s gaze. She froze with a hint of nervousness as she stared at Claudia. Claudia looked completely different from the two months they had spent together.

Her eyes exuded a strong charisma.

Josie’s mask covered her face, so Claudia didn’t seem to be able to identify her.

Arnold was quick to respond, trying to deflect attention away from Josie. “She’s my assistant,” he said firmly. “She’s here to give me a status update.”

As always, Claudia was warm and kind. She glanced at Josie and said, “It must be tiring to work until this late. You two can go ahead and finish your work.”

Josie’s feet shuffled together as she tried to keep her bedroom slippers hidden.

Arnold politely asked, “Aunt Claudia, I have an urgent matter to take care of. Could we borrow your study room for a short while?”

Claudia considered Arnold’s request for a moment as she looked at the crowd. ‘T’ll have the maid take you to the study room in our guest room. There’s a computer there.”
