Vivian's POV:
When I woke up, Spencer was already gone. 'When did Spencer leave?" I wondered.
Gemma called me and urged me to continue finding girls for her son.
Thus, I had no choice but to call Spencer.
"Boss, where are you?" I asked.
"What's up?"
"Oh, it's not that big of a deal. But you'll have to come back and meet your date today."
"Did my mother call you again?" Spencer asked sharply.
I didn't respond to that, and I just rolled my eyes at him. He already knew the answer, and yet he was still asking me.
"I'm not going on a blind date," he said.
"No, you can't refuse, Spencer! Otherwise I have no idea how I'm going to explain it to your mother," I said.
"Ugh… fine. Ask Nicole to wait for me in the bar tonight," he responded.
After hanging up, I felt the bitterness overcome my heart.
Clearly, Gemma didn't like me. But I couldn't figure out what Spencer really wanted.
Disappointed, I let out an exasperated sigh.
'Forget it! Even if I don't have a boyfriend, I still have my bestie!'
After a moment of pondering, I decided to go look for Scarlett. 'God, I'm so sick of men!' I cursed inwardly.

Upon arriving at the cafe, I saw that Scarlett and Nina were already there waiting for me. It turned out that they'd been waiting for me for a long time.
At a glance, I saw James lying in his stroller and sucking on his thumb.
I hadn't seen him for a long time, but he still remembered who I was. He reached out his stubby little arms to me, smiling like an angel.
'Aww! James is so adorable!' My heart melted at the sight of him.
