Seeing that everyone was turning their attention to the door, Lila lazily glanced at the man.
The man was dressed in a white suit, both simple and clean at the same time. His features were not very outstanding, but overall, he looked not too bad.
In all honesty, David Gray looked fairly agreeable, at least several times better than that of an ordinary man.
However, Lila had seen just how good-looking Brandon was. Compared with Brandon's breathtaking appearance, David appeared pretty mediocre. After all, Brandon's mature and steady temperament and unique sexual attraction happened to be more attractive to most women.
At that thought, Lila was even unhappier with her blind date.
Why could Janet marry such an excellent man while Lila was reduced to marrying a man who sold fruits for a living?
The more Lila mulled it over in her head, the more unwilling she got. Thus, she did not welcome David like she was supposed to.
Johanna tried to get the two of them to get along, so she took the initiative to make conversation. "David, I heard that you studied in London previously. When Lila graduated from university, she also traveled to London. You two can revisit the place together when you guys have some free time."
"Yes, my schedule is pretty flexible and I'm available at any time. If only I can have the pleasure of traveling with Miss White." David acted very sensibly. He was arranged by his family to go on a blind date here that very day. At first glance, he wasn't really interested in Lila. She appeared ordinary on the surface and there was even contempt evident in her eyes.
However, this happened to be a marriage of interests. The White family was both rich and powerful in Barnes. If the Gray family could increase their social rank through this marriage, why should he turn it down?
Johanna turned to look at Lila, waiting for an answer from her.
The last thing Lila wanted to do was travel to London with David. She smiled perfunctorily and said, "I don't think that's a good idea at all. I disagree with the weather in London."
