“Alright.”
Once Rodney pressed a switch, the roof of the convertible slowly closed.
Mireya looked at the flowers in her hand. Judging from their fragrance, she was certain that they were imported by air.
The atmosphere in the car was bizarre. She awkwardly tucked her hair behind her ear and took a glimpse at the man beside her. He seemed strange from all angles. “What happened to you… Why did you suddenly change your appearance?”
“Didn’t you say that my good looks make women jealous? So I changed my style and wore darker clothes. ” Rodney instantly gazed at her with a note of nervous anticipation. “Do I look handsome?”
If it had been another man who asked such a question, Mireya would have come up with a lie and said that his face was too big.
However, Rodney was really handsome today. What was more, his clothes were not as bright as before. All of a sudden, he seemed far more restrained and elegant.
Even so, she did not want Rodney to be complacent. “Not bad.”
“That’s impossible.” Rodney curled his lips. “When I appeared just now, all the women outside were staring at me, and so were you. Your eyes were completely fixed on me.”
“Well, I was just shocked by your sudden change.” Mireya looked away as she denied it.
“Women just like to say things they don’t mean. ” Rodney did not believe her.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at a Western restaurant.
The restaurant here had a membership system and the food was pricey. Usually, reservations needed to be made a couple of days in advance.
Mireya entered the restaurant, only to find the interior decorated with flowers that were imported by air. There was no one inside.
“Did you reserve this whole restaurant?” Mireya blinked.
“Duh. Considering that it’s my first time officially going on a date with you, it’s a must to reserve the entire restaurant. ” Rodney pulled out the chair for her. “Darling, please take a seat.”
Mireya felt all jittery. She had only agreed to go to a movie with him, yet why did it turn out to be a candlelight dinner?
“Sir and Madam, this is our menu.”
A server came over with a menu and darted an admiring look at Mireya.
Mireya lowered her head and flipped through the menu. “Which food takes the least time to be served? We’re in a rush since we’re going to watch a movie later.”
The server said with a smile, “Our chef is only serving the two of you tonight, so it’ll be very quick.”
After ordering the dishes, Rodney rose to his feet. ” Please stay seated. I’m going to the restroom.”
Mireya let out a sigh. This atmosphere was making her feel rather nervous, especially since the man she was here with was Rodney.
At this moment, Cate sent her a WhatsApp message. [Not bad. It’s very romantic of Rodney.]
Mireya: [How did you find out? Was it Shaun who told you?]
Cate: [No. Someone took a video of Rodney coming in a sports car and giving you flowers. It has garnered millions of views. See for yourself.]
She soon forwarded a video. [A strikingly handsome man appeared at Yorkdale Center Building to confess his feelings.]
Mireya tapped the video open and saw Rodney’s imposing physique that resembled the main character in a drama. Even his face was so handsome that she could not pick out any flaws.
The netizens had left comments on the video. [Oh, God. This young man has stolen my heart!] [Please debut as a celebrity!]
[Please, the Patek Philippe SA watch on his wrist costs as much as an apartment. Why would he debut as a celebrity when he’s already so wealthy?]
[This young lady must have rescued the universe in her previous life to have such a handsome young lad pursuing her.]
[Lad, why don’t you look for me? You don’t have to pursue me. I’ll be the one doing it.]
[Lad, it’s getting colder. Let me sleep with you to provide you with some warmth. I promise not to charge you at all…]
The various comments on the internet surprised Mireya.
Fine. She admitted that Rodney was good-looking. Even so, it seemed that women these days were far from restrained.
However, those comments were understandable. When she was obsessed with some celebrities back then, she had left some shameless comments at the sight of handsome young men too.
If she had not known Rodney, she would have felt jealous as well after watching the video.
As the person involved in the matter, she could not help feeling a little… happy and smug.
Cate sent her a message. [You’re very smug now, huh?]
Others might not know Mireya well, but Cate, who had been her best friend for years, knew her inside out.
Mireya: [Why should I be smug? I’ve gotten him, so there’s nothing special about it…]
Cate: [I’m just going to stay quiet and watch you bluff…]
This left Mireya blushing. Indeed, she was bluffing…
At this moment, the melodious, relaxing music from a violin suddenly rang out in the restaurant.
It sounded quite pleasant, and the tune was familiar. Only after listening to it for a while could Mireya recognize that it was ¡®A Whole New World’.
She used to be familiar with this song when she was younger.
She recalled singing it with Patrick at a karaoke lounge back then.
However, it felt different now that it was being played on a violin. It was more relaxing. A man was singing the romantic song with his elegantly soft voice.
She had no idea who was playing the violin.
She could not help but turn her eyes to the source of the music.
Under the dull lights, Rodney was wearing a vest and a pair of trousers with the violin resting on his shoulder. While holding the strings with one hand, he was giving a violin performance.
As he played the violin, his eyes were fixed on Mireya. His alluring eyes behind his glasses sparkled like stars.
Mireya froze.
To her, Rodney had always been a good-for- nothing rich man.
She had always thought that he was unromantic and dull.
Nevertheless, he was an outstanding rich man tonight.
She did not expect that he would be able to play the violin.
On second thought, a rich man like him would have learned all kinds of skills from a young person. His ability to play the violin should be surprising.
She just had not seen this side of him before.
They said a talented man could capture one’s heart. She was no exception.
As soon as Rodney walked up to her, two servers pushed a cart with a heart-shaped cake on it. White chocolate was used to decorate the cake, and several words were written on it— ¡®You’re my sweetheart’.
As Mireya read those words, a wave of heat crept up her face.
Rodney… Why did he become so cheesy all of a sudden?
After playing the violin, Rodney opened a rectangular box beside the cake and revealed a crescent necklace embedded with melee diamonds. It was stunning and intricate.
Mireya was quite a fashionista, so she could recognize that it was from a high-end luxury brand after taking a glance at the logo on the box.
However, she had never seen this design in magazines before.
” I… requested to have this customized.” Rodney was blushing. ” It’s meant to symbolize passionate love. And there’s even your name engraved on it. Do you like it?”
