Chapter 381 Go On A Date With Me Kathleen frowned. “If it was not for the Hoover family’s matter, I’d
have helped you tosettle your problem at Blissful Sect.” “The Hoover family''s matter has to be dealt
with first.
Otherwise, Desi will be in danger.
We can look into my matter after that,” Charlesforted. “Okay.” Kathleen nodded.
“Charles, don’t worry.
I''ll get it over with as soon as possible.” “No rush.” Charles nced at her with his smiling eyes.
“We should go now.” Noticing he changed the topic of the conversation, Kathleen gazed at him in
worry. Actually, she was alsorather anxious as she wanted to help Charles with his matter. However, it
was true that some things could not be rushed. “Yeah.” Kathleen nodded gently again.
“Let''s go.” After that, Charles brought Kathleen out of the building of Brilliance Corporation. “Charles,
where are we going?” Kathleen inquiredcuriously. “You need to get changed first.” Charles sized her
up.
“It''s not suitable for you to attend the dance party in this outfit.” Looking down at her white shirt and
jeans, Kathleen thought otherwise.
“I think it''s fine.” “Just listen to me.” Charles shed a faint smile. Kathleen could only nod in
agreement. Soon, they arrived at a shop that sold hautecouture clothing. Charles had one of his hands
in his pocket as he ordered, “Please bring the dress that I reserved.” The shop assistant immediately
brought a ck gown over. It was well-tailored, and the overall design was not too eye-catching. After
Kathleen put it on, her slender neck and delicate-looking corbone were exposed.
It looked fantastic on her. While Kathleen was attractive, she did not look seductive.
Instead, she looked particrly elegant instead of sultry no matter what she wore. Charles turned
toward her and said,“Let''s go.” “Okay.” Kathleen nodded. After they left the boutique, they headed
straight toward the venue of the dance party. It had been a long time since Kathleen attended this kind
of event, but she was still familiar with it. When they arrived, the crowd who attended the party was
shocked by her beauty. People who had attended Frances'' funeral knew that Kathleen hade back,
but there were some who didn''t know about her return.
Some even thought that she had died. However, upon seeing that she was here at the dance party,
theycould not help bu stare at her in disbelief. “The CEO of Divine Corporation is over there.” Charles
led Kathleen to the other side. The CEO of Divine Corporation was Ryder Xenakis, a handsome man
who was about thirty-five years old. Currently, he was d in gray suit, giving off an elegant and noble
aura. “Hello, Mr.
Xenakis.” Charles reached out to shake his hand. Ryder narrowed his eyes.
“Hi, Mr.
Johnson.” After greeting Charles, Ryder''s gazended on Kathleen. Ryder had long heard of her, and
he had also seen her in movies. However, that was thefirst time he met her in person. She''s indeed a
morous beauty, bright and eye-catching. “Nice to meet you, Mr.
Xenakis.” Kathleen reached out to shake hands with him. Ryder smiled politely.
“How should I address you?” “Anyway you like” she replied. “I''ll call you by your name then.” Ryder
wasa direct person. “Sure.” Kathleen nodded, sizing Ryder up while thinking. Charles said this guy has
an illness.
I wonder what it is. Just then, the music started ying. Ryder extended his hand to invite Kathleen.
“Kathleen, shall we have a dance?” Kathleen was caught off guard for a moment.
“Dance?” “Dancing together helps to bring us closer to one another.” Ryder held her hand, bringing her
to thedance floor. Everyone had a surprised look on their faces. No one expected the two of them
would have any interaction. Meanwhile, Charles smiled meaningfully. Since Ryder had her hand,
Kathleen could only follow him to the dance floor and dance with him as the music yed. “Mr.
Xenakis—” Kathleen was about to speak when Ryder smiled and interrupted, “What’s your rtionship
with Samuel?” “We are friends,” Kathleen answered. Friends? Ryder chuckled wryly.
“Oh, so both of you are friends.”
“Mr.
Xenakis, actually, my brother needs to borrow the most popr actress in yourpany,” Kathleen
exined.
“Mr.
Xenakis, I''m not sure why you don''t agree to it.” Ryder cracked a half-smile.
“I didn''t disagree to that.” His answer caught Kathleen off guard. “That actress is actually my sister,”

Ryder exined.
“My sister likes your brother, but she was rejected by your brother previously.
However, no one expected he would want my sister to star in that film.” “Oh, I see.”Kathleen felt
awkward all of a sudden. I didn''t even get the details from Charles. Ryder chuckled lightly.
“It seems like your brother didn''t tell you the truth.” Kathleen sighed. “The director of the film is a really
goodfriend of your brother.
The director insists on having my sister take the role, so your brother came begging to my sister,”
Rydercontinued, the corner of his lips quirking up.
“But you know that a broken heart is difficult to mend.
I think your brother should find another actress.” Kathleen thought for a while before asking, “Is there
no other way?” “I’m afraid not.” Ryder shook hishead. “Can I meet your sister?” Kathleen asked
tentatively. “Haha.” Ryderughed.
“You’re really smart.
Your brother can''t meet my sister, so he doesn''t have the chance to convince her.
Although your brother didn''t tell you, you caught on to it immediately.
Are you nning to change my sister''s mind?” Kathleen didn''t expect Ryder would see through her in
the blink of an eye. “Yes.” She stated cidly, “Mr.
Xenakis, are you not going to help me?” Ryder''s lips curled into a smile.
“I can help you, but I have a request.” “What is it?” Kathleen frowned in confusion. “Go on a date with
me.” He cocked abrow. Kathleen froze. “You said Samuel and you are just friends,” Ryder added
smilingly.
“Hence, going on a date with me should be fine.
Am I right?” “Yes.” Kathleen nodded. Lowering his head, Ryder whispered in her ear, “Don’t worry.
I''m not a man who likes to force ady to do something she dislikes.
It’s just a date.
It doesn''t mean anything else.” Kathleen hesitated for a short while before she agreed to it.
“All right.”
Ryder held her hand, grinning in satisfaction.
“Let''s meet up tomorrow then.” His swift decision left Kathleen dumbstruck.
“So fast?” “The money has already been invested by your brother''s entertainmentpany.
Even a day of dy will cause lots of money.
You have to factor that in or he will be burning lots of money.” A smile was still stered on Ryder’s
face. That’s true. Kathleen nodded.
“Okay.
It’s tomorrow then.
Where should we meet?” He chuckled in amusement, and there was not a hint of mockery in his
“Kathleen, how long have you not gone on a date?” She frowned, pondering his question.
“Not in the past five years.
I''m not sure if I had ever gone on a date before I lost my memory.” “Since it’s a date, naturally, I’ll be the
one who fetches you.” Ryder smiledlightly.
“I’m a gentleman.”
“All right.
I''ll be waiting for you at home.” She felt slightly abashed. “Okay.” Just then, the music stopped. Ryder
let go of Kathleen’s hand.
“See you tomorrow.” With that, he turned on his heel and walked away. Kathleen heaved a sigh of
relief, then strode over to her brother.
“Charles!”
Charles grinned sheepishly.
“What''s up?” “Things are different from what you had told me.” She huffed in exasperation, “Ryder
doesn’t have any illness, and Ibet it''s not his sister who doesn''t want to meet you.” “You''ve figured it
out?” “What are you trying to do?” Kathleen scowled, feeling annoyed. “He''s the one who said it,”
Charles exined.
“He asked me to bring you to him, and he''d exined the rest to you.” Her frown deepened. “What did
he say toyou?” Charles'' curiosity was piqued.
