Turning Of The Tide

After Theo left, Natalie figured it out and didn’t dwell on it anymore. She glanced at the bouquet of yellow roses and wondered how she should deal with it. If she sent it back, it would be akin to telling others who gave the flowers to her.

Forget it. She would leave it in the office.

She rotated her neck, stretched, and recomposed herself. Then, she picked up her phone and saw that it was already four o’clock. It would be time to get off work soon.

When Hackett returned home, Joy looked at his son’s injured face and was a little puzzled, but at the same time, she was very worried. She frowned and asked, “Son, are you alright? Will the injury leave a scar? Have you seen a doctor?” Joy was not surprised that his son left the hospital today.

Hackett didn’t think much of it. His wounds that needed to be disinfected had already been disinfected, so they shouldn’t leave a scar. Moreover, the injury was a small one. It won’t leave a scar. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine in a few days.”

Joy heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good, that’s good. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to go on a blind date in a few days.”

Hackett was eating cherry tomatoes, and he stopped upon hearing his mother. The cherry tomato that was stuffed into his mouth was swallowed without much chewing. “Mom, you didn’t arrange another blind date for me, did you?”

Joy was in a particularly good mood and she inched closer to her son. “Son, listen up. Your blind date this time is a salesperson, but don’t look down on other people’s jobs. I told you before that there are high and low-ranking positions, but you can’t look down on anyone. Everyone is working hard. Of course, there are some exceptions. You can still choose who you like. I don’t mind”

Joy continued, “Let me tell you, this young lady is especially good-looking and passionate. I went to buy a necklace yesterday. She’s super enthusiastic and very patient. Why don’t you go and meet her? If you don’t think she’s suitable for you, you can be friends. You’re already 29”

“Mom, are you really planning to arrange a blind date for me every time you see a girl? She’s a salesperson. How can she not be attentive and serious when she meets a rich person like you? She’s just doing her job. I bet she’s also nice to other customers. She’s doing it for the money”

Hackett was a little devastated. His mother had casually introduced him to someone because she felt that he was too old. He suddenly had an idea and lied, “I have a girlfriend.”

After telling this lie, he felt that it was quite appropriate. Firstly, he could openly woo Sherri and wait for her to fall in love with him before telling her that they were not compatible. It was normal for men and women to break up. His plan was perfect, and he felt much better now. He could use Sherri as a shield to stop his mother from arranging blind dates for him
