Chapter 281 Are You Interested in Him.
It was eight oâclock in the evening.
Cherise and Lucy had had several gla*ses of water in New World Restaurantâs lobby. They had been waiting for more than half an hour. Previously, their cla*smates had agreed to meet at the restaurant at seven oâclock, but only two of them showed up.
Arenât we supposed to have dinner together at New World Restaurant because Mandy is treating us? Why havenât the others arrived?
Finally, Lucy couldnât bear it and sent her cla*smate a message. âIs the dinner location changed?â
Although Lucy was initially reluctant to join the dinner, Cherise managed to persuade her. Although New World Restaurant wasnât as expensive as Viopril Palace, the dishes were amazing. Of course, they wouldnât want to miss a free meal.
Lucyâs cla*smate soon replied. âAre you guys waiting at New World Restaurant?â
âDidnât Jessie inform you that the dinner is canceled? Sheâs hospitalized, and Mandy is taking care
of her.
âI see.
Cherise was somewhat disappointed. âI thought the dinner would go on.â
Lucy, too, was discouraged. âI thought we could annoy them while having a free meal.â
But in the end, Mandy and Jessie gave up first.
âWhy donât we ask Lennon to buy us a meal.â Cherise took out her phone.
She came out in a hurry and didnât bring the credit card Damien gave her. The cash she had on hand was insufficient, and she didnât want to cause trouble if the restaurant staff failed to recognize her. So, she thought getting Lennon over to treat them would be better. Furthermore, Damien said that Lennon had been quite free lately.
âForget about it.â The moment Cherise dialed Lennonâs number, Lucy stopped her. âI brought money. I can buy the dinner.â
Cherise pouted. âLucy, the items here are pricey. I would rather not use your fatherâs hard-earned. money. Moreover, weâre so close with Lennon. He wouldnât mind for us to have a free meal in his
restaurant.â
She lowered her voice and continued, âAlso, my hubby said that Lennon has been free lately. All he has been doing is attending blind dates arranged by Old Mr. Belcourt. Iâm sure heâd like to take a break with us.â
Lucyâs hand, which was holding a fork, stopped midair.

âLennon is going on blind dates? Are you sure?â
She smiled awkwardly. âHeâs such a decent man. There must be many girls who like him. Why would he need to go on blind dates?â
Cherise shrugged. âI have no idea. Perhaps there are some other reasons.â
Then, she gazed at Lucy and asked, âLucy, why do I feel your expression changes every time heâs mentioned? Are you interested in him? My hubby and I can set you guys up.â
The gla*s that Lucy was holding suddenly fell to the ground. She apologized to the server who came to clean it up and said, âPlease stop joking, Cherise. How could I possibly deserve himâŠâ
She just thought that Lennon could be that person.
Cherise pressed her lips. âWhy not?â She actually thought Lennon and Lucy were a good match. Moreover, Lennon was Damienâs close friend, and Lucy was hers. If they ended up together, the four of them could have a lifetime of fun!
âI just⊠donât deserve him.â
Lucy exhaled deeply and stared at Cherise. âCherise, please stop making jokes like this in the future.â
