Chapter 1731
"Karen!"
With a snort, Jefferson leaned back against his chair and stared at Karen who was approaching
him.
She was dressed in in and simple clothes. She was wearing a casual navy dress with a belt
around her waist, which tastefully entuated her slender waist.
Many women dressed simrly, but for some reason, it looked more striking on her.
He had to admit that although this woman named Karen had not done anything, herposure and
self-confidence were enough to outshine many women who looked simr to her. People around
could not help but stare.
However, it was not enough to make the president of Rovio Corporation Inc pay that much attention
to her.
Although it was typically considered very rude to stare at a girl that way, Jefferson did not seem to
think he was behaving inappropriately at all. He waved his hand at Karen and said, "Hey beautiful,
over here."
Hearing his voice, Karen looked up and smiled politely. "Are you Mr. Henderson Carter, my blind
date for today?"
Jefferson hade up with the name ''Henderson'' on the spot. The surname ''Carter'' was obviously
influenced by Adrienne.
All of a sudden, Jefferson realized that it would be quite nice to name their son "Henderson1 if he
and Adrienne had a child in the future.
"Yes." Jefferson motioned for Karen to sit down. He still stared at her face with a hint of aggression,
so he did not miss the slight frown on her face. He guessed that she might be dissatisfied with his
attitude.
"Hello, Mr. Carter!" After sitting opposite him, she still maintained her polite smile. Her voice was so
gentle that he could not tell what she was really thinking at the moment.
"What would you like to drink, beautiful?"
"Just a ss of water, thanks!" Karen said to the waiter.
Jefferson did not stop her. When the waiter served the water, he said bluntly, "Miss Daly, let me tell
you briefly about my family."
Karen nodded with a smile.
He went on to say, "My family owns five houses in the most elite residential areas in
Chatterton Town. We each have our own car that costs more than a million dors. As for our
savings, if we don''t spendvishly, we will have enough tost us for the rest of our lives. If you''re
satisfied with my background, we can try dating."
Jefferson proudly thought that it was rare toe across a man as handsome as he was on a blind
date. This much should be enough to attract her attention.
He couldn''t say too much. If he said too much, she might not believe him.
If Karen fell for him because of his assets, then he could warn President Kyle who was far away in
Avend to not to hold out any hope for this woman anymore...
"Mr. Carter, I''m sorry! I don''t think the two of us are suitable for each other. Let''s call it a day. I hope
you can find a suitable partner for yourself in the future," Karen said with a courteous smile on her
face. Her eyes had a slight twinkle in them. Jefferson was even more confused as to what she was
thinking.
With his slender fingers tapping on the table subconsciously, he looked at her and asked, "Miss
Daly, can you tell me why do you think we don''t suit each other well?"
"Too poor."
"Miss Daly, it''s fine as long as I have money. It doesn''t matter if you are poor. I can support you in
the future."
Karen smiled and replied, "Mr. Carter, I think you have misunderstood. I meant that you are too poor
for me."
"It seems that you have a rather big appetite."
"Thank you!"
Jefferson was not stupid. He could tell if she was interested in true love or if she was a gold digger
at a nce. He opened his mouth and wanted to apologize. However, at this moment, out of the
corner of his eye, he saw two peopleing from the door of the coffee shop. One of them was
Freya and the other was Adrienne.
Almost instinctively, Jefferson stood up and squeezed over to sit down next to Karen. He raised his
arm and put it around her shoulder. "Miss Daly, you have a pretty face, a nice figure, whereas I have
money. I think the two of us are very matching."
He had already gone too far. Adrienne would definitely be jealous when she saw him. However,
what Jefferson got was not Adrienne''s jealousy. Instead, a cup of water was poured over his head.
After that, he saw Karen wiping her hands dry. Before she left, she said, "Disgusting!"
Later on, he seemed to hear someone guffawing extremely hard. He looked over and saw
Adrienne''s face red fromughter and it was clear how delighted she was to see him humiliated.
He thought Adrienne would be jealous, but she had just watched him make a fool of himself instead.
"F*ck!"
"Adrienne!" He roared.
"Jefferson, I''m sorry! I didn''t mean to see you get water poured over you. Just pretend I was never
here. I''m leaving now." Although Adrienne found it hrious, she was clear that it wasn''t a good
thing for her to witness Jefferson embarrassing himself. He was willing to do anything to her, after
all.
"Is that all you want to say?" Jefferson''s face was livid and the veins on his forehead bulged. He
looked even angrier than before when Karen poured the water over his face.
Adrienne paused and asked, "What else am I supposed to say?"
Jefferson gave her a fierce re, kicked the table in anger, and walked away.
As soon as he left, Adrienne was finally able tough heartily. Sheughed so much that she almost
forgot that this was a quaint cafe. "Freya, you insisted on seeing me today. Did you bring me here to
witness that joke?"
No woman dared to pour water on Jefferson. In fact, if word got out of this incident, it was most
likely that no one would even believe it was true. Freya had seen it but she couldn''t find it funny due
to Adrienne''s reaction. "Adrienne, don''t you feel ufortable when you see Jefferson going on a
blind date with another woman?"Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
"Ufortable? Why would I?" Since Jefferson had a girl he liked, he wouldn''t have the time to
pester her anymore. This was what she had dreamed of for so long.
"Adrienne, you really don''t care at all?" Freya was so worried that she quickly touched Adrienne''s
forehead with her hand. Adrienne wasn''t having a fever. How could she be so overjoyed at the sight
of her man going on a blind date with someone else?
"Freya, don''t worry about me. I know very well what I am to Jeff. I won''t overthink." In Adrienne''s
heart, she was just a ything to Jefferson, a toy that he had been bullying since her childhood
days. She had always dreamed of escaping his grasp. So, why would she have any other thoughts?
"Adrienne, are you sure?" Even Freya didn''t believe that Adrienne knew how Jefferson felt for her. If
she did, no matter how emotionally secure she was, her heart would definitely be moved.
"Freya, you asked me out today. Did you really invite me here to see Jeff make a fool of himself?"
Adrienne raised her hand and looked at her watch. "Freya, I''ve just received an important case this
morning. I have a lot to do, so I have to head back now. I''ll talk to you when I''m done with my work."
While Adrienne was at work, Freya had given her a call. Freya insisted on meeting up and since the
cafe wasn''t that far away, Adrienne asked for a 30-minute break from Zelson. At this moment, her
break was almost over, so she had to rush back.
