Chapter 1 A Blind Date

There was a pause of thick silence in the cafe. Adele Wes lowered her head to stir the coffee in front of her, nervously. The atmosphere fell into an awkward and frozen state. "The first blind date?" As soon as the man sat down, he spoke faintly. His aura was too strong. Just a simple question was enough to make Adele even more nervous. This was Adele's first blind date ever. Forced by her mother, she reluctantly came to the cafe that had been arranged beforehand and found the designated seat. Originally, she thought that today was just a formality, but who knew that the man who sat in front of her was actually Yusuf Group's CEO, Damon Yusuf. A man who could shake River City with a stomp of his foot! Even worse, she was working as a clerk in the Administrative Department of Yusuf Group. A big shot like Damon naturally would not know her, but it was too difficult for her to pretend not to know him. So she was so nervous that she stammered, "Yes, the first time..." Damon's cold eyes looked back and forth on Adele. He continued to ask, "Are you a college graduate?" "Yes, I am." Adele unconsciously swallowed her saliva and added, "I graduated two years ago." Hearing the answer, Damon went silent for a moment. There was no perceptible emotion on his good-looking face. However, Adele's heart was in turmoil. She was wondering which deity her mother had worshipped to get such a top-notch blind date partner, or if Damon had sat in the wrong seat. Or could it be that she was sitting at the wrong table? She glanced at the number tag on the table from the corner of her eyes. It was indeed number 18. "That... Excuse me, could you please check your table number?" Adele mustered enough courage to ask. "Did you bring your household register?" Damon said. The two of them opened their mouths at the same time. When she heard Damon's words, she raised her head in shock. Damon's nearly perfect face was so close that it made Adele's cheeks blush and her mind blank. Damon had a good appearance and was even looking better than most popular male stars, but because he was a businessman, his domineering temperament often made people retreat. Upon graduation, Adele entered the Yusuf Group as an intern and had continued working there for the last two years after she had passed the internship assessment. In these two years, she rarely saw Damon. Even if she saw him, she could only see his back from afar. Now that she saw him face to face, it was more of a fantasy to her. "Do you have any other questions?" Damon looked at Adele's blushing face and the coldness in her eyes lessened a bit. She shook her head. What questions could she have for her boss? At this very moment, Damon's phone rang. He picked it up. After a brief silence, he replied curtly, "Got it." Then, he hung up the phone and looked up at her. "Let's go." He stood up as curtly as he spoke. Adele seemed to be possessed. She obediently stood up and followed Damon out of the cafe. Damon was 1.9 meters tall. Adele, who followed behind him, was 1.7 meters tall. She looked delicate and small in comparison. Adele followed Damon into the car. It was a black commercial type of Maybach he often used. Sitting in such a luxurious car, Adele felt like sitting on pins and needles. She restlessly twiddled, asking herself from time to time, 'Am I dreaming now?' However, all of her reactions were noticed by Damon. "My family forced me to go on a blind date. I don't want to waste my time on this. Since you look clean and pleasing, there is no problem in getting married." In the quiet car, Damon suddenly concluded. His magnetic voice sounded in Adele's ears. She looked at Damon in surprise. Although she agreed to have a blind date with him, getting married was definitely too early. "That... don't you think it would be better to think twice before you pop the question? We seem not too..." Not too familiar yet. "No need." Damon interrupted her, his body exuding a cold aura, and said in a threatening tone, "Be my wife. I will give you everything you want." Never in her wildest dreams had she thought that Damon had known her like the back of his hand, even before he came to the cafe...
