Chapter 603 Skyler Is Jealous
“Thank you, Roni,” thanked Shirley. They continued the conversation and her mood brightened. “Look. What about this guy?” Veronica found a picture in her phone. “He’s Wade Yoder, a magazine model. I knew him in Starshine. He’s not bad.”
When Mia bullied her at the beginning of her career with Starshine, Wade and Rania stood up for her. Since then, Veronica got along with them and became good friends, especially Wade. He was a reliable man.
“Woah. He’s really handsome, but… he’s a model. Why doesn’t he have a girlfriend? Besides, he’s out of my league.” Shirley knew her place.
Wade was handsome and he dressed neatly, but Skyler could totally beat him out in terms of looks. Yet, there was already a huge gap between her and Skyler, rendering him a man she could not covet.
“That’s not all. His performance is decent, but not to the extent of shining his name in the company. The female models in the company have super high standards and they’re quite realistic. They will only hunt for someone better, so it’s natural for him to be left out.”
Veronica informed Shirley of Wade’s situation first before acquiring her opinion. Now that Shirley was up for it, she decided to talk to him tonight.
Veronica added, “Since you’re here, I think I gotta update you on the latest market of Esport. At least you know something.”
Although Veronica had given one-on-one training to Shirley, she was still worried. She made an arrangement for Wade and Shirley’s blind date on the next day whereas she and Monica would check on the wedding dresses.
Shirley, who had quitted her job, enjoyed her morning at home. At the thought of the afternoon date, she was not as happy as she expected herself to be. I should actually be excited for it.
When she arrived at Phil’s Coffeehouse at 2.00PM, she looked for Wade based on the position sent by Veronica.
He was sitting in the open area outside at which she could see him as soon as she walked over there.
“Hi, are you Wade Yoder?” Shirley approached the man, who was wearing a gray shirt matched with dark blue jeans. He appeared younger and more handsome than he was in the picture.
Skimming through a magazine, Wade rose from his seat with a smile. “You must be Shirley Wilson.”
The smile revealed the faint dimples on his cheeks, which softened his disposition to a gentle one.
Today, she was cladded in a white shirt and light blue ripped jeans. The ponytail definitely added luster to her jaunty appearance.
“Yes, I am. Sorry for my tardiness.” She smiled lightly.
“I came a while ago. Have a seat. Here, would you like to have something to drink?” Wade proffered her a menu.
“Cappuccino, please.”
“Sure.” Without asking much, he beckoned over a waiter. “We would like to have a cup of cappuccino, a mousse cake and this ice cream.”
“Okay. Please wait for a moment.” The waiter took away the menu.
Wade spoke to Shirley, “Their mousse cake and ice cream are delicious. You should try some.”
“I like desserts.”
Considering that it was her first blind date, Shirley was reserved and feeling nervous. The tranquility in her disappeared the second she caught sight of him and her heart was still racing.
She probably did not even realize how she looked with those blushing cheeks.
Their conversation went on and on as they got along. Suddenly, Wade pointed behind her. “Does that person know you? Why does he keep staring at you?”
“Huh?” A confused Shirley turned her head and looked at the pointed direction, only to be surprised.
It was because she saw Skyler sitting under a parasol with crossed-legs alongside a tan-skinned foreigner. Apparently, they were having a discussion on something.
