Before she could finish her sentence, Geoffrey got the message and replied, "Do you have to threaten me like this? Minny, I think there is some misunderstanding between us. I'm not that kind of person!"
Minerva didn't forget his reputation as a womanizer. Moreover, this man almost tried to flirt with her too when they first met in an elevator.
Did he think that she had forgotten all about it?
"It doesn't matter what kind of person you are, just don't try to fool around with my friends."
"Fine, I understand. But Minny, what if your friends fall for me? Am I supposed to reject or accept them then?"
He let out an expression of doubt after saying that.
She was speechless. She gave him a look then got up and walked away.
He let out a sneaky laugh. Then, the message notification on his mobile phone rang. He looked down at his phone and saw a message from his blind date that was set up by Oscar for him.
"My gosh, what is this?" He thought to himself.
When they first got each other's phone numbers, they agreed that this was all their grandparents' idea and they were just putting on a show for them. They also agreed to not contact each other but to his surprise, she contacted him.
Geoffrey didn't want to have anything to do with the girl since she came from a family of high status because they tended to take things very seriously and he was not ready to commit to that.
Hence, he took a glance at the message and marked it as read, then he threw his phone aside and didn't bother with it anymore.
Not long after, Vera and Sam returned. Minerva was about to get up to open the door when she heard the doorbell but Geoffrey interrupted and said, "Minny, sit down! Let me get the door!"
Before she could reply, he had already run to the door and opened it.
Vera and Sam stood at the door with bags in their hands. When they didn't recognize the man who opened the door for them, they stared at each other in confusion.
She couldn't help but ask, "Are we at the wrong house?"
After saying that, she wanted to take a few steps back to check the floor number.
Since they were carrying too many things in their hands, the two of them rang the doorbell directly.
Hence, she thought they were on the wrong floor.
Before she could do so, Geoffrey walked up to her and enthusiastically helped her with the bags in her hands. "You're not on the wrong floor. This is the correct house. All these must be heavy, let me help you!" He exclaimed.
Vera stared at him strangely, and Geoffrey explained, "It's my pleasure to help a beautiful woman. It's nice to meet you. Let me introduce myself, I am Geoffrey Jules."
This inexplicable introduction stunned her and she felt that this man in front of her was being extraordinarily friendly with her. What's going on?
At that moment, Sam took a step forward and stood in front of Vera.
"Sir, you..."
He frowned and was about to ask him about his identity when he saw Minerva standing at the door. She said, "You guys are back, come in quickly."
"Minerva."
Seeing her, Vera realized that she was indeed at the right place. She quickly carried the things into the house and Geoffrey missed his chance to act as a gentleman. He let out a sigh and followed behind them.
When they entered the room, Minerva caught Geoffrey trying to hit on Vera.
"Hey pretty, how should I address you? I am Minerva and Sebastian's good friend. You can call me Geoffrey."
Vera felt shy, then took a glance at him.
"You can just call me Vera," she replied.
Geoffrey asked, "Is that your full name?"
She was a little thrown off by his enthusiasm so she just replied with a simple nod. Then, he said with a huge smile on his face, "I don't believe that is your full name but since you said so, I'll just call you Vera then."
