Chapter 484


    Fortunately, John wasn’t going to me them. Instead, he nodded and said, “Well, if you ever receive


    any gift that looks big and expensive again, don’t turn them down. Just get Zack.”


    The two receptionists nervously responded with a nod. “Yes, understood.”


    Then, John turned around and walked toward the elevator to return to his office upstairs, where he saw


    a stack of files on his desk. Upon taking a nce at them, he supposed they were from Isabelle. After


    that, he proceeded to skim through the papers for a bit before putting them aside, as he was getting a


    little sleepy due to his hefty lunch. Hmm. I rarely feel so sleepy at this time.


    Soon, John massaged his brow ridge and leaned on the chair for a few minutes when his office door


    was suddenly opened. The next moment, he was greeted by Dn, who came in with a document in


    his hand, which he needed John to sign on. As he took over the papers, he directly asked, “Do you


    have any blind dates tonight?”


    Dn paused and said, “Yup.”


    John responded with a smile while signing on the document’sst page. “I wish you the best of luck!”


    Dn stared at his cousin and replied, “Nah! It’s just for show, man! I’m never a believer in


    matchmaking.” Nevertheless, he soon smiled faintly and added, “Anyway, I’ll just wait and see how


    things y out. What’s mine will be mine sooner orter.” In response, John only paused and looked at


    Dn.


    Later that night, John stayed back for overtime before he finally decided to leave work. When he


    stepped out of the elevator, he was greeted by Matilda, who was standing in the lobby. Nheless,


    the sight of his own mother didn’t put a smile on his face when he recalled what she did earlier.


    Meanwhile, Matilda looked as if nothing had ever happened before and seized John’s arm.


    “I’ve been waiting for you here the whole day. I thought you were only going to leave at midnight. How


    can you not be concerned about your health, my boy? You need to rest when it’s time to rest. It’s


    gettingte now, and you should’ve probably called it a day sooner.”


    “Why are you here?” John stared at Matilda and asked her.


    Matilda took her hands off John’s arms and let out a sigh. “When I passed by this ce, I figured I


    should drop by at that moment since it was about time for everyone to leave work, but as I approached


    the receptionists, I was told that you hadn’t left. So, I decided to wait here, although I didn’t expect it to


    take so long.” After that, she held John’s arms again and said, “I haven’t had dinner! So, let’s find


    something to eat together.”


    Tired from work, John was reluctant to tag along for dinner, but Matilda appeared to be rather insistent


    as she grasped his arm tightly. “Your grandpa and grandma don’t seem to be happy with metely.


    They wouldn’t give me a break even when we sat down together for a meal, and I’m really tired of their


    lecture. Thus, I don’t feel like eating at home. I’m miserable enough, so why can’t they stop


    After listening to his mother’s reply, John swallowed his words that were already forming at the tip of his


    tongue. Nheless, he knew Matilda’s life would probably be tough in the days toe, but at the


    same time, he reckoned she brought it all upon herself.


    As they stepped out of the building, Matilda entered her son’s car like she owned it and said, “Let’s go!


    I know a ce with some awesome food! It’s usually not that crowded there, so we might be able to get


    a ce if we head there now.” Without saying a single word, John drove to the destination that Matilda


    described. When they arrived at the restaurant, John noticed that there weren’t many cars parked

    around the restaurant, probably because of its remote location. It looks like they don’t get a lot of


    customers here.


    Upon exiting his car, John set his eyes on the restaurant’s que and asked, “Is the food here good?”


    “Why don’t you find out for yourself?” Matildaughed it off and proceeded to enter the restaurant with


    John. Since the restaurant wasn’t crowded, their arrival was quickly noticed as a waiter approached


    them and asked, “Hello, how may I help you?”


    “We have a reserved room,” Matilda said.


    The waiter blinked his eyes, instantly catching on to Matilda’s words. “I see. Pleasee with me.”


    After that, both of them entered a lounge that wasn’t really big before they were given a menu each.
