    Chapter 47 A Perfect Match


    “Over here, Mich!”


    Micha saw Vincent waving to her from a distance as she walked into the restaurant.


    Though it was only their first encounter, Micha already had a good impression of Vincent. Aside from


    his attitude toward rtionships, she found him very likable.


    After a slight pause, she walked over and Vincent noticed it immediately when she was close enough.


    “Why is your face so red, Mich? Are you unwell?”


    “No, I’m not!” Subconsciously touching her cheek, Micha was horrified to discover that it was


    scorching and scrambled for an excuse. “It’s been a hot couple of days.”


    “Has it been?”


    Vincent raised his eyebrows suspiciously, having just intended to ask the waiter to turn up the air


    conditioning temperature. He was beginning to question if he was the only one who felt the chills.


    Finally realizing Micha had appeared alone, Vincent changed the topic. “Where is Jonathan?”


    “Mr. Jonathan is right behind!”


    Vincent did not notice the palpable difort in Micha’s eyes.


    After Micha was seated, he immediately summoned the waiter and handed the menu to Micha. “I’d


    just arrived as well. Here, have a look and order whatever you like! It’s on me today!”


    “Thank you, Vincent!”


    Micha smiled gratefully. After ordering two portions of jpe?o-vored fondue, she pushed the menu


    in front of Vincent. “Your turn!”


    What a pleasant girl she is to be around. Not only is she a good sport, but she’s also a beauty! Zack


    must be blind to give up a gem like her.


    Receiving the menu from her, Vincent ordered a few more nd dishes. It was not until the waiter left


    that Vincent said, “Jonathan has a delicate stomach. He won’t be able to have any if it’s too spicy!”


    “Mr. Jonathan can’t have spicy food?”


    Micha was quite surprised. She had thought Jonathan was also fond of spicy food, given their


    previous rendezvous at the fondue restaurant.


    “That’s right. He’s always been a light and dainty eater.”


    Though it was a throwaway tease by Vincent, Micha took notice of it.


    No wonder he barely ate thest time we had fondue. Every two bites he took were washed down with


    tea. Was the dinner he fought so hard for wholly prepared for me alone? I had been so resistant then!


    As Micha was reeling in shock by the discovery, she heard Vincent speak again. “Hey, could that be


    her?”


    Following Vincent’s gaze, she saw that Jonathan was already in the restaurant. There was a stylishly


    dressed woman next to him.


    She was d in a sleeveless ck short skirt with white high heels entuating her legs. Her chestnut


    hair fell down her shoulders in a cascade of femininity.


    They seemed very well acquainted with one another from where Micha was sitting. Jonathan was


    talking to the woman with his head tilted, gazing upon her with gentle eyes and a slight smile. It


    appeared that they got along very naturally.


    The striking bnce between their respective good looks made them appealing to behold.


    Micha could not help but ask Vincent who was watching with relish. “Who is she, Vincent?”


    “You don’t know?”

    Vincent smiled mysteriously and leaned closer to Micha before lowering his voice. “She is Louise, the


    eldest daughter of the Johnson family. A smart girl from a young age, too. She wasn’t just his ssmate


    when they were abroad, you know. She is also his fiancée. How about that, eh? Shocking news, isn’t it?”


    “Fiancée?”


    Micha’s eyes widened in surprise.


    “Yeah. Speaking of which, it was arranged by old Mrs. Xander. The Xander family and the Johnson


    family are family friends, you know. They are a match for each other! Louise is now the CEO of a wealth


    managementpany under her family’s banner, which is doing extremely well from what I heard.


    What’s more, she has a gentle and decent appearance. Definitely worthy of Jonathan, if you ask me.”


    “Let me tell you something, Mich,” Vincent added. “Jonathan only looks emotionless on the outside. To


    think that I’d been so worried that he would be single forever! It appears that I have been yed this


    entire time. I was surprised to see him, a workaholic, appearing here at this time of day. Turns out he has


    a date here!”


    Micha did not doubt Vincent’s words.


    The restaurant they were in belonged to Jonathan. Having just mentioned that it was not open to the


    public aside from his partners, Louise’s appearance was self-exnatory.


    Though she had only managed to catch a distant glimpse, Micha was forced to admit that Louise was


    indeed ster. Under her meek and feminine appearancey the ability of a strong and capable woman.


    Her manners were as elegant as her dress.


    Turns out that he is into girls like this.


    Having thought that Jonathan took her out to cheer her up after finding out that she was in a bad mood, it


    just urred to her that she might have expected too much.


    So much for not being close to other women? He’s just flirting with everybody! All men are the same!


    Brutes! Especially the Xander family men, who always look for opportunities to fool around. All men are


    pigs.


    Without noticing Micha’s expression, Vincent winked enigmatically at the exciting topic of discussion.


    Unbeknownst to him, Jonathan saw everything.


    ring at the space between the two, Jonathan walked up with a scowl and kicked Vincent’s chair. “Sit


    over there!” he indicated.


    Vincent did not dare speak. He got up and sat on the other side and watched as Jonathan sit next to


    Micha. “Have you ordered something to eat?” he asked in a soft voice. “What were you talking


    about?”


    “The love story between you and Ms. Johnson, Mr. Xander!” Vincent replied frankly. Jonathan nced


    sideways and narrowed his eyes. “Love story?”


    “Isn’t it so?” Vincent jerked his chin toward Louise in a tant attempt to hint at something. “If I hadn’t


    seen it with my own eyes, how long would you have kept it hidden from me, Mr. Xander?”


    “Vincent!”


    Though his voice was not loud, his tone was heavy with warning.


    Sensing danger, Vincent slid up and sat on Micha’s right meekly as he mumbled, “Embarrassed that I


    had guessed what was on your mind? There’s no need for all this. I’m not going to rob you! Don’t you


    think that Jonathan is overreacting, Mich?”


    Micha’s eyes flicked between the two. Amid her dilemma, she saw a middle-aged man in a ck suit


    walking toward Jonathan with a respectful expression. “I’d just heard that you are here, Mr. Xander.


    Would you like me to arrange for you to dine in the private room?”


    “No need!”


    Jonathan’s tone was not friendly. As if recollecting something else, his clear voice sounded again. “By


    the way, don’t you have regr maintenance of the appliances here? Aren’t you aware that your air-


    conditioning unit is broken?”


    “I apologize for my negligence, Mr. Xander. I will have it checked and reced!”


    The middle-aged man looked flustered as he bowed frantically in apology. He did not leave until he had


    personally delivered all the food they had ordered to the table.


    After the middle-aged man left, Vincent piped up sarcastically, “What’s the use of trying to cover up?


    Aren’t you going to great lengths for a beauty?”


    At that moment, Micha was drinking the soup Jonathan had served her and began to cough at


    Vincent’s words.


    That was uncalled for!
