Chapter 1433 Change Of Attitude
Maya knew she couldn’t refuse Davin and Sheila’s offer, and she convinced herself that she could learn something by following Davin to the business meeting.
She nodded in response.
“Uncle Davin, when are we leaving?”
“Tomorrow. Remember to dress up since you’ll be representing Seet Group. Do you understand?”
Maya nodded solemnly.
Nicole felt uneasy. Maya was an honest person, and Nicole couldn’t imagine how she would react upon knowing that they were arranging a blind date for her instead.
…
That night, Nicole asked Juan to pick Sally up for dinner.
Juan gave Sally a call beforehand. Thinking of this as the perfect opportunity to bond with the Seets, Sally dressed herself up nicely for dinner.
Before leaving, she received a phone call. Upon seeing the number, her heart skipped a beat. There was a dark look in her eyes as she answered the call.
“When will you make your move?”
“It’s not that easy as I’ll have to earn their trust before I can make any move.”
“Sally, I heard that you and Juan have been getting closer. Are you having feelings for him?”
Juan? No way. He’s not my cup of tea at all!
“Don’t worry. I know what I have to do, and I know very well what I should be doing next.”
“That’s good to hear. I don’t mean to rush things, but you know how sick Dad is, and his life is in your hands now.”
Sally’s expression grew solemn. “I know. I’ll get this done as soon as possible.”
“That’s a relief.”
After ending the call, Sally heaved a long sigh. Reminded of her father’s illness, she knew she did not have much time left. It was a must for her to make a good impression at Imperial Garden that night.
Juan was waiting for her downstairs. She walked toward him in her light pink dress. He was a little dazed to see her dressed up this nicely.
She was attractive after putting in the effort to doll up, and there was something elegant in her aura. He couldn’t help but wonder about her actual upbringing.
What’s her true background?
Sally walked up to him with a smile. “I’m sorry for keeping you waiting.”
“It’s fine. I’ve waited for only ten minutes anyway. Let’s go.”
Sally was surprised at Juan’s change of attitude. Judging from the look in his eyes, he didn’t seem as wary of her as before. It seemed like she had made the right choice by helping Nicole and Bernian Hospital.
Soon, they arrived at Imperial Garden. Nicole had ordered the kitchen to prepare a delicious dinner for them. Upon seeing Sally, Nicole took her hand. “It’s all thanks to you that Juan was able to find out the truth. Thank you so much.”
“You’re welcome, Mrs. Seet. I just did what I should have done,” Sally answered humbly.
She lifted her head and accidentally met Kyle’s gaze. In that split second, she felt that something was different in his dark and deep gaze.
Juan had already let his guard down against her, but she couldn’t figure out the changes in Kyle’s attitude.
“The dinner is ready. Let’s chat over the meal.”
“Sure.”
They got up and headed toward the dining hall.
Sally slowed her pace and deliberately bumped into Kyle to strike up a conversation. “I’m sorry.”
Kyle glanced at her and walked toward the dining hall without saying anything in response.
Sally could not wrap her head around the situation.
Why is Kyle suddenly being this icy with me? Shouldn’t he treat me nicer after I helped Nicole and Bernian Hospital?
As Sally was still trying to figure things out, Juan was well aware of the reason for Kyle’s change in attitude. Kyle was probably acting like this because Juan had sent him a text using Sally’s phone.
The message stated that Sally was not interested in him because she was dating another hot guy. He figured Kyle was putting distance between them as a sign of respect after receiving the text.
That was for the best.
Juan was delighted that he had managed to stop Kyle from falling deeper for Sally.
