Chapter 131
Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love
âA blind date?â Monicaâs voice suddenly became sharp. She looked at Thomas in disbelief and asked, âDonât you like me?â
Thomas calmly said, âBut you donât like me. No matter how much Iâm fond of you, I have to learn to let go.
Monicaâs face suddenly turned pale!
She had never thought that Thomas would give up on her one day and go on a blind date with another woman!
How could this be?
Although she didnât like him, she had already regarded him as hers.
Even if she wouldnât be with Thomas, she thought he should still treat her as his goddess and worship her for the rest of his life!
How could he date someone else?
Monica wouldnât say these dark thoughts out loud.
She couldnât help but look at Thomas pitifully. âThomas, but Iâm really bored alone. How about you take me with you? I promise I wonât say anything improper. Iâll sit next to you and help you.â
âI donât think thatâs a good idea.â Thomas refused.
Tears welled up in Monicaâs eyes. âI used to love that painter so much, but he lied to me and hurt me. I said I would never come back, but now Iâm back. Iâm really desperate. When Iâm back, youâre the only one who came to pick me up. Youâre the only person who treats me well unconditionally. If you leave me, I really donât know how to live.â
Monica suddenly burst into tears. âMaybe I shouldnât have come back this time. I was deceived, and I deserved it. I should have ended my life.â
She wiped her eyes hard and said, âForget it, you can go on your blind date, and you donât have to send me to the hotel. I will take good care of myself.â
After Monica finished speaking, she looked at him with reddened eyes.
& M Thomasâs heart softened visibly He sympathized with her. If it werenât for the fact that Monica was at her witâs end, she wouldnât have been willing to come back She regarded love as everything.
Now without love, she must be very heartbroken.
Iâm leavingâ Monica pursed her lips and was about to leave Thomas sighed and gently pulled her back. âLetâs go togetherâ
âReally?â Monicaâs eyes lit up and she asked softly, âWill it cause you any trouble?â
Thomas shook his head. âMy blind date doesnât know you. There wonât be any trouble.â
Monica immediately smiled with tears in her eyes. âThomas, youâre so nice to me.â
Thomas stroked her hair and said nothing.
In the cafe.
Theresa glanced at her watch.
The pointers read 9:30.
âLate for the first blind date?â
Thatâs interesting.â
Behind the thick blackâframed glasses, Theresa revealed a strange smile.
Her blind date seemed to be very reluctant to go on this blind date.
Theresa thought it made sense.
In her view, it was strange that people of different genders should fall for each other.
Thinking of her motherâs crazy urge for her marriage, Theresa felt that Thomas was a perfect candidate.
Theresa was not in a hurry even though Thomas had not arrived yet.
M T She put a classical literature book on the table and pretended to read it.
Then, she browsed her phone under the table.
Theresa was a graduate student at Anaville University, majoring in classical literature.
This was just one of her identities.
Yet this identity was enough to make her a talent in peopleâs eyes.
Almost everyone who had met Theresa said that she was quiet and wellâbehaved, born to be an academic.
At Anaville University, there were already professors fighting to get her to be their Ph.D. student.
Everyone felt that Theresa would become a prominent academic figure in the future.
But no one knew that she had another identity that was incompatible with her academic career.
Theresa was casually browsing through the gossip.
Her cell phone suddenly rang.
âTheresa Austin!â The voice on the other end of the line was extremely sharp.
Theresa calmly put the phone away for a while and then put it back to her ear. âWhatâs the matter?â
âDo you know youâre fucking lucky? Youâre going to be famous. As your agent, my career is taking off too.â The voice on the other end of the line was so excited to the extent that the speaker might faint.
Theresa listened expressionlessly to her agentâs roars. After her agent stopped speaking, she asked lightly, âTell me, whatâs the matter?â
Her agent took a deep breath but still couldnât hide her excitement. âDo you know the Storm Group? It wants you to be their spokesperson for their new phone!â
Theresa was stunned for a moment. âThe Storm Group? Iâm just a model. Why would they want me to be their spokesperson?â
âDonât look down on yourself. Youâve already made a name for yourself in the industry. Whatâs strange about that company taking a fancy to you and wanting you to be its spokesperson?â The agent said excitedly, âIâve already accepted this endorsement for you. You should go to the Storm Group to sign a contract tomorrow and shoot advertisements.
Theresa, weâre really going to be rich this time.â
âMaybe,â Theresa said flatly.
âDonât be so calm.â The agent was a little upset. âYou make me feel no sense of accomplishment at all.â
Theresa smiled. âDo you want me to shout or exclaim now?â
âForget it! Theresa, youâre doing so well in the modeling industry now, and the entertainment industry is opening its arms to you. Are you still not going to confess your identity to your family and classmates?â
Confusion flashed past Theresaâs eyes.
A few years ago, she entered the model industry by chance and used the stage name Rose. She was used to wearing thick glasses in daily life, while her makeup was very exaggerated on the stage.
As a result, over the past few years, neither her family nor her friends had found that the famous supermodel Rose was the promising candidate wanted by professionals at Anaville University.
Her two identities were so different that even those who think of the possibility. /
were familiar with her would not Theresa didnât want to hide it from her family and friends at first.
But now, no one around had ever found it out, which was a little embarrassing.
Should she confess?
If she confessed, would her mother beat her up?
Theresa shivered.
Just then, she saw Thomas coming in. She quickly said, âLetâs talk about it later. My blind date is coming.â
âWhat? You went on a blind date? Theresa, donât enter a relationship so rashly. Your career is in a period of expansion. Youâ¦â
Theresa calmly turned off her phone when she heard her agentâs frantic voice.
Well, the world was quiet.
After entering the cafe, Thomas quickly targeted his blind date.
He saw a girl who wore blackâframed glasses, liked reading, dressed conservatively, and seemed to be quiet. He easily recognized Theresa.
Monica followed his gaze and saw Theresa.
She heaved a sigh of relief.
She could tell that Theresa was oldâfashioned, boring, and unsophisticated at first glance.
She believed that Thomas would never fall for such as girl.
âSorry, Iâm late.â Thomas walked over.
âIt doesnât matter.â Theresa looked at Monica, who was next to Thomas.
Monica immediately said in a sweet voice, âNice to meet you, Miss Austin. Iâm Monica. Please donât get me wrong. Although I grew up with Thomas, weâre just good friends. This is his first blind date, and heâs a little nervous, so Iâm here to help him. Will you mind this?â
