The three women kept chit-chatting in a way that as if spending money was as trivial as throwing dirt.
Future couldn't help but twitch her lips.
Wade seemed awkward too. He squeezed out a chuckle and said, "Come on. Let's get started."
"Mr. Wade, don't just eat," The blonde woman changed the subject. "Speaking of which, you are having a blind date with our Terelyn today. Have you brought any gift?"
"Gifts?" Wade was surprised. He chuckled and said, "This is my first blind date. I didn't know about the rules. Sorry for showing up empty-handed. But I'll make it up for Terelyn next time."
"You're funny, Mr. Wade. How do you suppose a blind date should go when you don't have gifts?" The short-haired woman laughed.
Future couldn't stand it any longer. She asked, "Where are your gifts then?"
The short-haired woman laughed at Future's question as if she was telling a joke, "Asking the girl to bring gifts to a blind date? How shameless are you?"
Future put down her chopsticks, leaned back on the chair, and crossed her arms. She said, "How is that? Because you guys are much more superior?"
"You..." The short-haired woman slapped the table out of anger. But Terelyn stopped her from doing further angry behaviors.
Terelyn wiped her mouth elegantly with the napkin. She then looked at Wade and said, "My parents called just for scheduling this blind date. From what I see, it doesn't seem like we know who we are dealing with. Why don't we introduce ourselves first? I'll go first."
Terelyn continued confidently," "I was born in 1992, and I'm twenty years of age. I'm currently working as a senior executive at a major company with an annual salary of five million yuan. I can't say I'm rich, but I'm financially independent. And my job has a lot of room for promotion."
Finished her words, Terelyn looked at Wade, waiting for his turning.
Wade cleared his throat, "I was also born in 1992, the same age as yours. I'm currently...currently living my life the way I want."
Wade finished, but Terelyn was still looking at him. After being silent for a couple of
seconds, Wade asked, "Miss Zhao, do you have any questions?"
"That's it?" Terelyn showed a puzzled look.
"That's it." Wade nodded.
"Your job and income?" Terelyn asked.
Henry noticed that the other three women all slowed down what they were doing when Terelyn asked the question. Obviously, they were very interested in the topic.
Wade laughed awkwardly. "I don't have a job at the moment."
"Unemployed?" The blonde exclaimed, widening her eyes. After realizing her own overaction, she shut her mouth and sat in silence.
Terelyn frowned. "Unemployed? Okay, I can understand, judging by your previous experience. What about your assets? How many houses and cars?"
"My God, is this how a blind date goes these days?" Future stared at Terelyn. Although cars and houses weren't a big deal for people like Wade, it was a lot for any average person on a first date.
Wade shook his head, "I don't have cars or houses."
"No car, no house. Why are you here then?" The short- haired woman asked with a dramatic look on her face.
Terelyn also looked unhappy. She wasn't willing to come anyway. It was only because her parents made her do so. Terelyn had no other way than to bring her friends with her. She just wanted to have a free dinner and hoped that the guy was a wealthy moron.
Judging by the cost of the dinner, Terelyn had thought that she was meeting with a rich guy. However, Terelyn was in total disappointment after she learned that Wade had neither a car nor a house. How could a person come to a blind date when he had nothing at all? If it were for her face, Terelyn would have gone by then.
