"Don't tell me that she's..."

Sheffield nodded gloomily. It never occurred to him that Evelyn would go on a blind date with one of his best friends!

“He's just kidding. We don't know each other. Let's order!" Evelyn said as she took the menu and began to read it.

Joshua was quick to react.

"How about...we have Lunch together?" he asked Sheffield.

"Okay," replied Sheffield without hesitation. It couldn't get any better!

“Isn't there an empty table here?" Evelyn took a glance around the restaurant with a frown. There were still many empty tables.

Having guessed what was going on with her, Joshua tried to smooth things over.

"What a coincidence! Sheffield's my best friend. Evelyn, meet Sheffield."

Dollie had been completely ignored by Sheffield and she look dejected.

Sheffield waved his hand and said, "So great! We all know each other.

Let's have Lunch together. Dollie, come here and say hi to my friend."

“Okay.” Dollie's face softened a little at his words. Then she came over, adroitly balanced in her high-heeled shoes.

Joshua sat opposite Evelyn. He thought Sheffield would sit next to him, but to his surprise, Sheffield sat next to Evelyn.

Sheffield covertly winked at Joshua. The latter understood what he meant. He warmly gestured for Dollie to sit next to him.

"Dollie, please have a seat."

At first, Dollie was unhappy to see that Sheffield had sat down next to

Evelyn. But as soon as his handsome and enthusiastic friend invited her to sit with him, she didn't mind that anymore.

"Thank you," she said politely. She took her seat beside Joshua.

Evelyn didn't say anything. With a bright smile, the manager of the restaurant handed the menu to them and asked, “May I take your orders?”

Sheffield was quick to act. He took the menu from the manager and placed it in front of Evelyn.

"Here you are. What would you Like to eat?" he asked in a flattering tone.

Dollie and Joshua were equally surprised.

Noticing the anger on Dollie's face, Sheffield realized that he had completely ignored the girl in his excitement of running into Evelyn.

He waved his hand and motioned Dollie to come closer to him. Sheffield leaned over to her and whispered, “Don't be angry, Dollie. It's just an act to get on her good side. If she thinks that I Like her, my plan will have a greater chance to succeed."
