Kenneth spoke with a serious tone, exuding an aura that said “Keep your distance
The waitress behind the bar immediately changed her attitude completely, knowing very well who the man in front of her

“Mr. Thompson, I didn’t mean it that way, the waitress said, lowering her head. She was embarrassed at being called out in public and shot a sharp look at the girl in front of the counter.
It was all because of her.
“Mr. Thompson, you have no idea it’s all this girl’s fault. She’s here taking our seat for free. This place is a hub for business professionals, not someone like her who can’t even pay for a seat. And now you’ve walked into this whole mess.”
Looking at Marilyn, she added, “This is a luxury brand coffee from Milagia, so next time, know your place and don’t come here if you can’t afford it.”
She wanted to get her out as soon as possible.
Marilyn was fuming, but because of her tearful disposition, she wasn’t good at arguing. Her pretty face flushed red, but she couldn’t say a single word through her tears.
“Is any brand from Milagia that impressive? Or do you just think you’re superior to everyone else?” Mark retorted.
This café wouldn’t even exist here if the Sinclair Group hadn’t approved it.
Marilyn looked up at him.
Mark nodded slightly at her and handed over the bouquet he was holding.
Marilyn was taken aback, and before she could react, she found a bouquet of champagne roses with pearls in her arms.
“I’ll pay for it,” Mark said seriously as he took out his phone to make the payment.
The waitress was confused, glancing again at Marilyn. How could someone like her possibly know someone as important as Mr. Thompson?
“Oh, come on. Mr. Thompson, you don’t have to be so kind…” The waitress looked jealously at Marilyn.
What a manipulator! She was arguing just a moment ago, and the moment Mr. Thompson showed up, she played the pity card to gain sympathy. It was disgusting.
Mark, with an expressionless face, scanned his phone to pay and said coldly, “This is my friend, and places like yours that judge people unfairly aren’t worth visiting anymore.”
As the payment went through, Mark said these words in a chilly tone. The waitress couldn’t believe her ears. She couldn’t believe Mark said those words.
She was so terrified that her face turned pale and her legs felt weak. Just then, the manager came down from upstairs and happened to hear the end of Mark’s remark.
Everyone needed to know that, in Dellanex, and even across Heloria, Kenneth‘ word was law. So when Mark spoke, it was like Kenneth himself saying it.
“Mr. Thompson, there seems to be some misunderstanding,” the manager quickly said with a forced smile.
“There is no misunderstanding,” Mark never wasted words on unimportant people. He turned to Marilyn and said, “Let’s go.”

With that, he walked away with Marilyn
As they walked out of the coffee shop, the sound of the manager scolding the waitress could still be heard.

Marilyn glanced back, and when she looked at Mark again, she felt even more frightened, not daring to breathe deeply. Mr., Mr. Thompson, herr are your flowers. Marilyn handed them over and casually took out her phone. “I’ll transfer the money to you.”
“No need, and the flowers are for you. I’m sorry for keeping you waiting so long,” Mark said.
Marilyn looked at the flowers in her hands and fell deep in thought. She didn’t understand why he give her flowers. But, maybe someone high–class like him just got a new car and was in a good mood–it was weird to give her flowers.
So she replied, “It’s alright. I just came here because Ophelia asked me…”
“Did Mrs. Sinclair tell you everything?” Mark seemed a bit nervous, swallowing hard.
Marilyn nodded. “Yes, she said you liked it.”
Mark was lost for words and thought, ‘Does Mrs. Sinclair know what type I like?‘

He looked at the girl in front of him–a doll–like face with pretty, blinking charming eyes, and a charming dimple appeared when she smiled.
When he met the girl’s gaze, Mark suddenly felt shy.
His ears turned red.
He said, “Then let me take you out for a meal… we can have a good chat.”
Marilyn looked at Mark with confusion. She thought, ‘Does it have to be so complicated? Just for a chat?‘
Maybe he wanted to understand the steps and details about getting his car.
She said, “Uh, okay… sure.”
It was in a high–end restaurant.
Marilyn was visiting a place like this for the first time. She followed Mark while holding a bouquet. They were led by a waiter to a table by the window.
After ordering, Mark placed his hands on the table, with his fingers crossed.
and my “Mrs. Sinclair might not know much about me. She probably just told you the basics. I don’t have a mother, works for the Sinclair family. He’s busy and barely gets a break.” He needed to mention the awkward part first.

Marilyn nodded, half–understanding. “Oh, I get it, especially with you in that position.”
This feeling was kind of strange.
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Mark opposite her, and her mouth twitched slightly.
Just as she was about to take the car purchase documents and keys from her bag, Mark said, “This is my first time on a blind date, so I don’t have much experience. Is there anything else you want to know…?”
“Huh? Blind date?” Marilyn’s voice rose, sounding especially loud in the quiet, elegant setting.

She glanced around in embarrassment and quickly shrank back to make herself less noticeable.

“What, what did you say? Blind date? I, I’m here to deliver your car.” Marilyn couldn’t afford to waste a second and quickly handed over the documents and car keys.
She was stammering as she spoke.
When Mark saw the pair of pale hands offering him the car documents and keys, he was taken aback.
This was just too embarrassing.
He wished he could find a hole to crawl into, but managed to stay composed on the outside as he took them, coughing into his fist a couple of times.
“Oh, I made a mistake.” His voice was calm.
Marilyn gave a forced laugh. “No, no problem. Let me just return these flowers to you. I wouldn’t want to interfere with your date. My job here is done, so I’ll be on my way.”
Mark frowned slightly. “The flowers are for you. I apologize for making you wait so long. Please sit and join me for a meal. Thanks for taking care of my car.”
“No, no need to thank me. I just did what Ophelia asked.” Marilyn was about to pick up her bag and stand up.
Mark said, “Sit down.”
Marilyn froze and sat back down, carefully looking at Mark across from her, with her heart beating nervously.
Mark met her eyes and swallowed awkwardly. He thought, ‘Am I that intimidating?‘
She seemed quite scared of him.
“I’m going to the restroom.” Mark stood up.
Marilyn sat in her seat and said “Oh“, not daring to move.
Mark tugged at his tie and exhaled deeply. Standing in front of the bathroom mirror, he thought for a while before calling Ophelia.
The phone rang twice before it was picked up.
“Mrs….” Mark was about to say something.
Ophelia knew what he was going to ask, and before he could even get the question out, she explained, “I asked Mara to bring the car over to you.
“She doesn’t have a boyfriend. The opportunity is yours. Whether you can take it or not is up to you.”
Before Mark could say anything, she hung up.
The film festival here was about to start.
