Chapter 576
Janice''sment had us all cracking up.
"Come on, is it really that dramatic?" Geneva chided Janice with augh.
"You have no idea what | was feeling at that moment." Janice put on a melodramatic expression of utter despair, but quickly
added, "Actually, Baber is not ugly. At first nce, nobody gives him a second look. On a second look, he''s passable. But now,
after seeing him a lot, | think he''s quite handsome."
"Oh, please! Your taste must have changed" Catherine was blunt as ever.
Hannah couldn''t help but cover her mouth to stifle augh.
| joined in with a yful jab at Catherine, "Why do you have to be such a buzzkill? Don''t say that, even though it''s true."
Geneva and Jta both giggled along.
In the midst of the levity, Janice yfully swatted at Catherine''s arm, "Don''t you dare gloat, or your beloved DragonLord could be
on the next boat out!"
Raising her hands in a pleading gesture, Catherine quickly said, "Can we please stay on topic?"
Janice then resumed her story, "You can''t imagine how disappointed | felt. | was ready to walk out right then and there. But the
matchmaker insisted we go for a walk alone, and it was so distressing. After all, the matchmaker was my mom''s boss. How could
| say no? | had to bite the bullet and walk out of the matchmaker''s house with him for some one-on-one time. | figured I''d just get
through the day, and we''d never see each other again. We''re adults, no need for pettiness. Besides, he was a man of standing, a
real catch."
We allughed again at her words.
With a serious face, Janice continued, "But that one-on-one time swayed me. He was quick-witted, well-spoken, and the epitome
of a gentleman."
"What did you two talk about?" | asked, curious.
"Well, we talked about mypany. | was dealing with a tough problem and was at a loss. He gave me some advice that
rified my thoughts and taught me some negotiation strategies, focusing on the key points. Honestly, with his guidance, | found
a solution right away. And when he exined the intricacies of rtionships, he totally drew you into his way of thinking. |
realized why he had climbed thedder so fast, and he was smart. Before we parted, he modestly shared his family background,
his strengths and weaknesses, the pros and cons, and the potential for growth, like he was presenting me with multiple choice
questions."
"He set a trap for you," | said,ughing at Janice.
“Right? And he was so understanding, telling me to take my time to think it over, to weigh the options before giving him an
answer. But if | agreed, he wanted to get married as soon as possible because he nned to go to Zephyr Hollow for further
studies. He might get busier with a possible promotion after returning.”
"He''s hinting that he''s on the rise. Baber is a sly one, keeping you on the hook without showing his hand."
"Seems like power is indeed seductive. No wonder it''s been coveted throughout the ages."
We all chimed in with our thoughts.
"So, what happened next?" Hannah asked eagerly.
"After he dropped me off at my
doorstep, he gave me his nu béry\

"Oh my gosh, that''s unexpectedly romantic." Catherine said with envy, "Who knew Baber was so smooth? His dating game is
top-notch."
"Back home, | tossed and turned,

Geneva gave a knowing smile, "Nothing''s perfect, right? Isn''t life full of disappointments?"
