Chapter 216 Interfere in Getting a Boyfriend

“It’s just a bottle of perfume, don’t be so nervous.”

“I certainly didn’t have designs on you.”

Greyson handed over the gift, Mariana glanced at him, her heart pounding.

“You’ve already helped me so much, and you’re still giving me gifts.”

Taking the gift from Greyson, Mariana said with a blush.

Seeing her so reserved in front of him, Greyson patted her shoulder, “We’re so familiar with each other,

do you really need to be like this?”

“Actually, if you loosened up a bit, it would feel better.”

“The you of now was just like a tightly wrapped flower, completely afraid to bloom.”

“This was not suitable for you to perform in the workplace.”

“Oh!”

Mariana nodded with her head down, he had no idea that she was not like this at all when she was at

work.

Mariana was serious about her work, people even called her a little tiger.

“Then I’ll go back and change my clothes now, see you later.”

Mariana sought Greyson’s opinion, and seeing that it was still early, Greyson nodded and returned to

his dormitory.

The dorm room was empty, even Alexis rarely came back to stay.

Greyson casually glanced across.

Whoosh-

In the dorm room across, Bertha was sitting on the bed, swinging her legs and hugging her laptop,

when Amber came back from outside with takeout and called her to eat.

Greyson glanced at the screen, she was actually studying foreign exchange.

Being so persistent, I underestimated her.

The children of wealthy families indeed worked harder than ordinary people.

Amber…

Wait, what was this guy up to?

“It’s so hot, I’m going to take a shower!”

Amber put down the food, turned around and immediately took off the T–shirt she was wearing…

Greyson quickly averted his gaze.

Kent in the group was very fierce, saying that he was going to have a feast tonight.

Mariana sent a location in the group, Fisherman’s Wharf.

Around six o’clock, she called and asked if Greyson was better.

“I had been waiting for you guys!”

“Alright then, wait for me at the school gate, I’ve started driving.”

When going downstairs, Greyson called Kent and asked, “Where are you guys?”

“We left and didn’t return to school.‘

Mariana drove that red Audi A4, changed into a black tight–fitting wrap skirt, and put on some light

makeup.

The lipstick was a light shade given to her by Greyson, similar to lip balm.

“You drive!”

She gave up the driver’s seat and sat herself in the passenger seat.

The car was filled with a faint scent of perfume, the same kind that Greyson had just given her.

Believe it or not, Greyson was actually fond of this slightly mature style.

Perhaps due to his prolonged exposure to society, he no longer favored the seemingly naive girls in

school.

This feeling was just right.

Mariana felt embarrassed as she noticed him looking her up and down several times.

I did exactly as he just said, he wouldn’t be talking about me, would he?

Neither of the two people in the car spoke, Greyson followed the navigation.

Arriving at the Fisherman’s Wharf, Greyson called Pearce and his group again, “Have you arrived?”

“On the road, you guys order first, there’s a bit of traffic, I just picked up Chelsea.”

Mariana picked up the menu and, seeing Greyson finish his call, said, “You order.”

Greyson glanced around, “Anyway, it’s just these people, pick whoever you want.”

Mariana ordered twelve dishes and also asked for two bottles of Refulgent Rampart red wine.

The dishes were almost served, but these people hadn’t arrived yet.

Greyson asked in the group, “What the hell? Are you guys coming or not?”

Kent: Sorry, something came up and I couldn’t make it.

Pearce: What a coincidence, Chelsea and I couldn’t make it either.

Paola: I had to work overtime today, you guys go ahead and eat.

Damn it!

Greyson asked Kent, “What’s going on?”

“I won!”

“After practicing marksmanship for so long, I finally hit the target once.”

“Let my painful experience serve as a warning to you, do not buy

foreign brands, domestic ones are more durable and reliable!”

…

“What a coincidence, so was I!”

Pearce replied.

Chelsea made a sheepish expression

Then she sent a voice message, “Mariana, we can’t make it, something came up, you guys go ahead

and eat.”

Alright then!

The agreed–upon dinner, but in the end, everyone didn’t come.

The waiter came in pushing the dining cart, and all the dozen or so dishes were set up.

The two of us were looking at each other…

“Don’t wait for them, let’s eat!”

Greyson posted a BS emoji in the group chat, “Waiter, open the wine.”

Mariana felt a bit embarrassed, two people eating such a big table of

food…

She suspected that Chelsea and the others did it on purpose.

If she thought so, then they really misunderstood Chelsea and them, they did it on purpose.

In another small group, a few people were laughing heartily.

“Let’s have them set up a meeting tonight!”

“Kent shouted.”

As a result, they set up a table in another place.

Greyson and Mariana had a bottle of red wine, they didn’t cat much food, especially Mariana.

The girl was mindful of her diet, she only ate a little bit of each dish.

Greyson, having had his fill of food and drink, was calling the waiter over to pay the bill.

Mariana fought with him, “Let me do it, let me do it!”

“Can you give me some face?” Greyson pulled her away and took the initiative to pay the bill.

The two left the restaurant. Unable to drive after drinking, they had no choice but to call a designated

driver.

“Would you come over to my place?”

Greyson extended an invitation, otherwise the two of them really had nowhere to go.

Mariana knew he had a villa and hummed in response.

The designated driver dropped the two off at the residential area, but Xenia hadn’t returned yet.

The night view of Elephant International Estate was very good, safe and quiet, very suitable for

walking.

The two people took a walk, and Greyson suggested, “Let’s go back and have some tea, brew a pot of

Earl Grey.”

Mariana was particularly gentle, looking at the villa ahead, she asked, “Do you live in that one?”

“Yeah, Building 28.”

Brushed-

The two were about to go back when two car headlights flashed.

Who was it?

So annoying, was it on purpose?

Before the two could speak, a Mercedes G–Class drove up, with Vivien rolling down the window.

“What were you two doing?”

Mariana’s expression was somewhat unnatural, “Ms. Finn!”

Vivien stared at Greyson, “Why on earth did you bring Mariana here in the middle of the night?”

“Mariana, a girl must take care of herself when she’s out,”

Greyson was displeased, “What do you mean? Mariana and I are simply alumni, don’t ruin our

friendship.”

Vivien jumped out of the car, “Isn’t it for Mariana’s sake? Come on, let’s go to my place and have a

look?”

Greyson then remembered that she also had a villa here, but she had never come to stay.

Vivien’s house was at number 32, very close to Greyson’s.

After watching her unlock the lock with her fingerprint, the three of them entered together.

“Wow, Vivi, when did you do this secretly? Didn’t you say it wasn’t sorted out last time?”

Vivien said, “I will live here alone in the future, being your neighbor.”

“Hey, bring me some of your family’s tea leaves!”

Greyson said irritably, “You were just badmouthing me in front of Mariana, and now you’re asking me

for tea? What’s the meaning of this?”

Vivien said, “I am your employee, shouldn’t you take care of me?”

Alright, then from now on, the matter of finding a boyfriend was also under my control.
