Everyone gazed at Nathan in astonishment. To them, Mary wasn't just being respectful; it seemed like she was trying to butter the man up and flatter him.
Tve admired you for a long time, Mr. Cross," Mary said while gazing at Nathan like a fangirl. "Judging from the way you accurately described the leaves and water used to brew your tea, you're certainly a tea connoisseur yourself. If you don't mind, could we be Facebook friends? I was hoping to learn more from you when you have the time."
Everyone was dumbstruck with envy.
The beautiful Mary was voluntarily asking him to be friends on Facebook; this was something that had never happened before!
Yet, Nathan surprised Mary along with everyone else by turning her down with a simple reason. "Sorry, but I don't use Facebook."
The crowd exchanged glances.
Mary knew some elite members of society didn't use Facebook as it seemed informal.
However, she asked for his precisely because she wanted to communicate with him more casually.
Having been rejected, Mary could only settle for the next best option. She took out an embossed name card and handed it to Nathan politely with both hands.
"Since you don't use Facebook, please have my name card instead, Mr. Cross. I hope to have a chance to learn more from you."
Wow!
All the big shots present in the teahouse were astonished.
Mary was now proactively giving him her number. This was something almost every upper-class man dreamed of!
Penny initially didn't mind Mary keeping in touch with Nathan.
However, the latter was persistent.
In addition, Mary was a stunner. Her eyes seemed to sparkle with excitement whenever she looked at Nathan.
Penny couldn't help but felt jealous.
