Dean didn't pay any heed to him. Instead, he chuckled and asked Ellinor, "How old are you this year?"
Ellinor took a sip of her coffee and answered calmly, "I just turned twenty."
"Twenty! Such a young age!" Dean nodded approvingly, his expression turning serious, "I bet you're not seeing anyone, huh? Funny enough, I know a very eligible bachelor. Would you like me to introduce you to him?"
Ellinor gave a small laugh, "I..."
Dean continued, "No need to be shy! You’ve gotta snatch up a good man early, otherwise, they get swooped up by others, and all you're left with is the dregs!"
Theo, who was sitting nearby, frowned deeply. He took a sip of his coffee and gave Ellinor the side-eye.
Ellinor's mouth twitched slightly. She hadn't expected Dean's invitation was to try and set her up.
Following this, Dean began his pitch, "Ellinor, you saved my life. I wouldn't introduce you to just any guy.
See, I have this friend. He’s an old professor, and his grandson is a pop star, the kind all you young girls swoon over. He's handsome, can sing and dance, and comes from a good family. I've watched him grow up and seen that he has a solid character. He is truly a man you can spend your life with!"
Just as Ellinor was about to politely refuse, Dean dropped the pop star's name.
"His name is Halley, and he’s very famous. If you don't believe me, you can look him up online; you'll find his photos and videos! Once you see him, you'll know I'm not pulling your leg; he really is a catch!"
Ellinor originally planning to refuse Dean's kind offer.
