When Shirley looked at Skyler, he happened to be watching her too. Her heart skipped a beat and nervousness grew. She raised her left hand and propped her elbow on the table to cover half of her face.
"You two know each other?" Wade sensed something wrong.
"No, no, no. We don't—"
"Shirley?" Just as she was going to say that they did not know each other, Skyler suddenly came up to them.
Unbeknownst to her, Veronica warned Skyler to distance himself with her through a text after she left. Veronica even mentioned about introducing someone new to her and told him not to invade her life anymore.
Hence, he had been feeling cranky since morning, which prompted him to ask someone to look into Shirley's whereabouts.
After he caught wind of her location, he arranged a meeting with his client for a business affair here.
"Huh?" She turned her head in surprise. When she saw Skyler standing right next to her, she sprang to her feet immediately. "Sky—What a coincidence. I didn't know you and your friend are here."
Her heart squeezed as she gulped down her saliva nervously. Her cheeks were flushed red when she thought, Bloomstead is such a small city. I even bumped into him on my blind date? What am I gonna do?
"This is…" Skyler questioned as he glanced at Wade.
"Ugh… H-He's…" Shirley was clueless of how to introduce Wade to him.
At that moment, Wade stood up with a polite smile. "I'm her fri—"
Before he could finish his words, Skyler interrupted, "Are you guys on a blind date?"
It was on purpose; he interrupted Wade intentionally so that Wade could not finish his words.
"Huh? How… did you know about this?" She was baffled, for she did not know how Skyler found out about the blind date.
