Lucy lowered her head to look at her phone. She had sent him a message before coming here.
Naomi waited with her for a while and said, “Why don’t we go for a walk first?
We’ll meet up with him when he arrives.’
Lucy thought for a while and said, “Alright then.”
She then sent a message to Francisco.
Both of them went to the shopping mall before heading to a restaurant. Lucy was starving, and she
began complaining after taking her seat, “He really has stood us up. He should’ve told us instead if he
doesn’t want to come. He shouldn’t have said yes to us and not show up later.”
As she flipped through the menu, she continued angrily. “All good-looking guys are liars!” Naomi
chuckled. “It’s okay. I think we can have a lot of fun as well if it’s only us two.”
“You’re right. There are so many goodlooking guys in the world. If this one is unreliable, we can always
look for another one,” Lucy said. It seemed to Naomi that she was not angry anymore, and she gave
her a sheepish grin.
Lucy lowered her head and pressed something on her phone. “I’ve put him on my blocklist.”
“Huh?” Naomi was dumbfounded.
Lucy put her phone down and said seriously, “We mustn’t date a man who can’t even keep his words.
Maybe he’s holding one in his arms right now, and he thinks it’s fun to fool us. Sigh, this is all my fault.
I’m a woman who likes good-looking guys. Whenever I see a good-looking guy, my brain will go blank,
so it’s normal for me to get cheated.” Naomi frowned slightly. “I think… Mr. Boucher didn’t mean it.
Maybe he’s caught up by something?”
“It has been 30 minutes. He hasn’t replied to any of my messages, and you say he didn’t mean it?”
Lucy took a sip from the coffee and added, “Forget about it. I’ve already put him on my blocklist.”
Naomi lowered her head to look at the food on her plate. Nobody knew what was on her mind.
Suddenly, the screen of her phone lit up.
It was an unknown number.
Naomi answered the call and put her phone near her ear. The voice that wafted from the other side of
the line was familiar. “Your friend has blocked my number. I can’t get through to her, so how am I
supposed to know where you are?”
Naomi was stunned for a few seconds, and she lowered her head to look at her phone. She then put
her phone back to her ear and said, “Umm, we’re at the Little Spring now.”
“Alright.”
Naomi couldn’t come around to her senses even after hanging up.
Lucy waved her hand in front of her and asked, “Who is it? Are you still meeting another friend?”
“No…” Naomi looked at her in astonishment. “It’s Mr. Boucher.” Lucy’s hand froze, and she jerked her
head up. “You two have each other’s numbers?” ‘And I still want to pair them up? So, they’ve been
contacting each other!’ “No…” Naom did not know what she should say. “I don’t know how he got my
number.’ “Oh my…” Lucy yelled, “Would he be angry at me for blocking his number?” Could it be that
she was impatient, and he actually didn’t plan to stand them up?
Soon, Francisco appeared in the hall. He was wearing a casual business outfit. He put on a dark brown
double-breasted trench coat with a belt around his waist and a black turtleneck sweater.
Lucy covered her face with the menu.
Fearing that Francisco would be mad at her, she hastily explained, “Mr. Boucher, I didn’t mean to block
your number. I thought you stood us up, so…”
If she did not act so rashly, then things wouldn’t be so awkward.
I’m sorry. I’ve been driving and didn’t pay attention to my phone.” He pulled a chair and sat down. “As
an apology, let me buy this meal.”
“But… This is so embarrassing,” Lucy said. She was the one who had asked Francisco out, so how
could she let him pay for the meal?
He laughed and said, “It’s okay. Consider this my compensation for being late.” Naomi lowered her
head to take a sip of water.
At that moment, Lucy looked at them and said, “Both of you are wearing matching colors today.”
