"Vivy, meet Sheridan. Sheridan, this is Vivy. Both of you should get to know each other," Amelia introduced them.
His eyes moved towards Vera and he reached out his hand for a handshake.
"Hello, my name is Sheridan Lewis."
"Vera Zais."
The two of them introduced themselves and shook hands. He politely withdrew his hands when she withdrew hers.
"Vivy, you can ask Sheridan to help you with anything. Anyway, it's a weekend and he doesn't have to go to work." After that, Amelia looked at Mabie and winked at her. "Mabie, can you accompany me to the nearby market?"
She obviously knew what this meant. Going to the market was just an excuse to leave these two youngsters alone. She gave her daughter a worried look and only left after Vera returned her look with a nod.
After they left, Vera said, "You don't have to help in the restaurant. Feel free to have a seat somewhere. I'll get you something to eat; it's my treat."
Sheridan smiled and said, "It's alright. Amelia told me that your restaurant's busy, so I can help you with anything you need. Although I don't know much about it, I can try to learn."
He had a humble attitude as he spoke, not arrogant at all. Vera didn't dislike him, but she didn't particularly like him either.
It was impossible for her to have any feelings for him. Her heart was occupied by someone else. She didn't even reciprocate when Sam had treated her so well. How could it be possible to have feelings for a blind date?
She always felt that she'd agreed to this out of spite, but... She just felt that it was possible to forget Quill.
She wanted to prove that she could move on from him.
She would definitely be able to lead a happy life. She could accept someone else.
Her employees exchanged eye contact and kept their thoughts to themselves, as there was an unfamiliar man in the restaurant.
Sheridan was very nice to Vera. He knew his place and did not ask uncomfortable questions. He was a quick learner and helped her a lot during the day.
When it was time for dinner, he chuckled and said,
"This was really an eye-opener, I've learned a lot today. How about I come again tomorrow to help you? I don't have to work tomorrow anyway, and I've got nothing to do at home."
She considered for a moment and nodded.
"Okay."
"I'm looking forward to seeing you tomorrow, Miss Zais. I'll head off now," he said.
"Okay, bye," she replied
After he left, Mabie came up and put her arms around Vera's neck.
She asked, "How was it? Did you guys get along well? If you don't like him, I will reject him for you. It doesn't matter."
"I promised to let him come over tomorrow to help," she said.
Upon hearing that, Mabie was shocked. "You like him?"
"No, I don't."
"Then why did you..."
