Chapter 1567
Lisa closed the webpage and sent a text to the man she was supposed to go on a blind date with that evening. Right now, she should be focusing all her attention on the blind date and not anything else! Perhaps she might one day meet someone on a blind date whom she truly liked who also liked her too.As dusk fell, Lisa went to the square in the city center at the agreed time where she met her blind date for the evening–Gale Porter. He was said to be a department head of a large company, and as soon as Lisa caught sight of him, she could not help but gasp silently. It seemed that the man her mother had set her up on a date with this time was slightly… out of her league.Gale was wearing leather shoes, a smart suit, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He seemed elegant and gentlemanly, not to mention quite attractive as well. According to her mother, he was supposed to be two years older than her, so he should be 35 years old, and yet, he looked like he was not a day older than 30."

"I guess I should say that I've never met a woman to whom I've fallen in love with."Fall in love… Indeed, such an experience was something that you might encounter but never seek! Lisa had a profound understanding of this fact through her own experience because for someone like her who loved chasing her favorite idols and all kinds of handsome celebrities, there had only been one man in her life whom she had truly fallen in love with–Terry White.No one else had ever made her heart race the way Terry did."You're right," said Lisa, "you don't just fall in love with anyone you meet. Especially not when you've fallen in love once. It's really hard to fall in love again after that."Gale seemed slightly taken aback."So, you've fallen in love before?" he asked."Yeah," she replied honestly. "I did once."Although the man was supposed to be her blind date, the more she chatted with him, the more she felt like he was a good friend of hers."Is that so?" Gale's interest was piqued.

"Okay," replied Lisa.As she stood on the roadside waiting for Gale to go get his car, the night's cold breeze blew past her, making her feel a little uncomfortable. She then ran to a garbage can nearby and threw up into it, emptying a significant portion of her stomach's content.After vomiting for a while, she drowsily groped her hand around inside her bag to find some tissue, but she could not find any even after searching for a long while.Just then, a hand reached out toward her, offering her a handkerchief.With eyes hazy from drunkenness, she said, "Oh… thanks."Without giving it much thought, she then took the handkerchief and wiped her mouth with it. Only then did she realize that it was a cloth handkerchief, not a tissue."Um… I think I'd better wash it before I give it back to you…"As she spoke, she turned around, thinking that the man who had just given her the handkerchief was Gale, but it was only then that she realized she was wrong! She found herself just inch

Just then, Gale's car arrived, and he was startled when he saw Lisa standing next to Terry. Although Terry was not a celebrity, Gale's company just happened to be working with the White Maple Group, and as a department head, Gale had naturally seen a picture of Terry White. At the same moment, Lisa caught sight of Gale, so she waved her hand at Terry and said, "Okay… So… I'm getting into the car now… Hiccup! Goodbye…"As she spoke, she opened the door to the passenger seat of Gale's car and was just about to get inside, but before she could step in, Terry suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her away from the car before yelling at Gale, "You can go now! I'll take her home today!"He did not wait for Gale's reply before dragging Lisa toward another car which was parked nearby."Terry White!" Lisa shouted. "Let… Let go of me!"What Lisa had just shouted confirmed Gale's suspicion that the man he had just seen really was Terry White! But what was the CEO of White Maple Group doing

As soon as the car reached the entrance to Lisa's apartment complex, she lowered her head and unbuckled her seatbelt before thanking Terry in a soft voice, and just as she was about to step out of the car, she heard Terry's voice from behind her asking–"Are you going to date that guy?"Lisa froze for a good while before she regained her senses again, then realized that Terry probably meant Gale Porter when he said "that guy"."He's really not bad at all," she said. "He's financially stable, and we got along pretty well. Besides, he's also quite attractive, so if he does end up liking me, I don't see why I shouldn't date him.""Is that all you think about before deciding to date him?" he asked, glaring at her. "Does that mean that you like him?""Why not?" she asked, slightly bemused by his reaction. "He's pretty much a dream guy for so many women!""Lisa!" he cried, his voice suddenly raised. There was a hint of anger in his voice, which only puzzled her. Why would he be angry a

Hearing this, Lisa sighed and said, "You could tell just from my voice? I thought I hid it really well!""At the very least, I could tell that you had something on your mind," said Serenity. Because in the past couple of days, Lisa had been acting a little too… cheerful… on the phone and during video calls. And Serenity knew that sometimes, the happier Lisa seemed, the more troubled her mind was."What's wrong?" Serenity asked with concern. "Did something happen?"Lisa had no intention to conceal the truth from her friend, so she bluntly replied, "I met Terry again.""Did you go find him?" asked Serenity, taken aback. She knew, of course, that Terry White had been in Solaria these past two days."No," Lisa replied. "He just suddenly turned up. I'm not sure if it was a coincidence or not, so now my feelings are in a mess.""Then did you…""Don't worry," Lisa assured Serenity. "I know that there's no way Terry and I will ever get back together again, so I won't let myself be stu

The store manager's attitude was much more amiable compared to the previous staff member."Can you get me another sales associate please?" Serenity asked. "This person doesn't seem to be that willing to give her services to me, so I don't want to force her to stay with me.""I'm sorry for the bad experience you’ve had in our store," said the store manager before calling over a much younger-looking staff member. Serenity glanced at the nametag on the new sales associate's chest and noticed that she was a junior SA. The young woman was probably a newbie who had just started working here recently. She smiled and then informed the young SA roughly about what she was looking for, what her favorite colors were, and so on, and the young SA then proceeded to look for some suitable dresses for her."Are you going to just let it go?" Lisa asked. "That previous SA didn't even have the most basic professional etiquette!"But it's obvious that she wasn't afraid of any complaints," argued Sere

"This isn't the kind of place for people like you," said Gwen haughtily."Why not?" asked Lisa, amused. "Do you think you're more special than me? Everything that you have now, you only got it because your daughter was adopted by the Valor family. But how are you in any way better than me before that? Is your family wealthier than mine? Are you more educated than me? Or are you more successful in your career? Do you earn more money than me?"In fact, Gwen Scott had just been an ordinary citizen of Solaria in the past with even lower qualifications and achievements than Lisa!Hearing this, Gwen's expression turned ugly, and she picked up the glass of water that the SA had just poured for her and tried to splash it onto Lisa.But Lisa had her guard up even as she was speaking, so as soon as she noticed Gwen making a move, she reached out and twisted Gwen's arm at just the right moment so that the water in the glass ended up spilling on Gwen's body instead.Gwen shrieked, which immed
