Chapter 604 She’s Silly and Stupid
When Shirley looked at Skyler, he happened to be watching her too. Her heart skipped a beat and nervousness grew. She raised her left hand and propped her elbow on the table to cover half of her face.
“You two know each other?” Wade sensed something wrong. “No, no, no. We don’t—”
“Shirley?” Just as she was going to say that they did not know each other, Skyler suddenly came up to them. Unbeknownst to her, Veronica warned Skyler to distance himself with her through a text after she left. Veronica even mentioned about introducing someone new to her and told him not to invade her life anymore.
Hence, he had been feeling cranky since morning, which prompted him to ask someone to look into Shirley’s whereabouts.
After he caught wind of her location, he arranged a meeting with his client for a business affair here.
“Huh?” She turned her head in surprise. When she saw Skyler standing right next to her, she sprang to her feet immediately. “Sky—What a coincidence. I didn’t know you and your friend are here.”
Her heart squeezed as she gulped down her saliva nervously. Her cheeks were flushed red when she thought, Bloomstead is such a small city. I even bumped into him on my blind date? What am I gonna do?
“This is…” Skyler questioned as he glanced at Wade.
“Ugh… H-He’s…” Shirley was clueless of how to introduce Wade to him.
At that moment, Wade stood up with a polite smile. “I’m her fri—”
Before he could finish his words, Skyler interrupted, “Are you guys on a blind date?”
It was on purpose; he interrupted Wade intentionally so that Wade could not finish his words.
“Huh? How… did you know about this?” She was baffled, for she did not know how Skyler found out about the blind date.
Did Roni tell him? But even if she did, she wouldn’t tell him where we are. Did he follow me all the way here?
A preposterous idea popped into her mind and she figured that she was out of her mind for having such a scary guess.
“Oh. So, it is a blind date.” Skyler nodded and pulled out a chair to sit before looking at Wade. “I’m Shir’s friend. She’s kinda dense and she’s not that smart, so I guess I can be her wingman.”
Wade fell into silence. Seeing how confused she was, he nodded in the end. “Alright. How should I address you?”
“Skyler.”
“Skyler Robins? The famous, talented doctor in Bloomstead?” Wade knew of Skyler’s identity the moment he saw him. He had seen Skyler before, but Skyler might not be able to say the same.
“You’re a smart one. How did you know me?”
…
The men blabbered on and on whereas Shirley sat aside and drank her coffee in silence since she could not seem to join the conversation.
A voice rang in her head, Shirley, does he like you? It seems like he’s ruining your blind date.
Another voice chipped in, You must be crazy. Everyone knows that Skyler Robins is a playboy. He’s met so many women, so why would he like you? Look at Sofia Green. She’s literally an angel. He doesn’t care about you. You’re nothing.
She held her cup and took a sip of coffee while her gaze landed onto Skyler unconsciously. Needless to say, this man was really handsome; he had that bad boy vibe in him.
He looks like a celebrity. Who is it again? Oh, Zachary Quinto!
Ba-dump! Ba-dump! Ba-dump!
Her heart raced so quickly as her mind was in a mess.
“Shirley is a silly girl and she’s quite stupid. I don’t think that you’ll make a good couple,” said Skyler outspokenly while he crossed his legs and leaned against the wooden chair.
