That morning, Maggie had barely been busy for long when she received the official acceptance notice from the AI journal.

A little while later, Johnny came over to discuss work. Upon learning that her paper had been accepted, he wasn’t surprised.

After all, with Nolan, such a respected authority, backing her, if Nolan thought her paper was good, there was no way it wouldn’t be approved.

After they finished discussing work, Maggie checked the time and asked, “Want to grab a bite to eat together?”

Johnny rubbed his brow and, looking slightly troubled, said, “I already have plans.”

Maggie looked up. “What’s going on?”

Johnny pursed his lips and sighed. “… It’s a blind date, arranged by my grandfather.”

Maggie burst out laughing. “You’re 28, and this is your first blind date? You’re lucky, honestly.”

Johnny: ”

Actually, his family wasn’t in a rush about his marriage. The blind date was with the granddaughter of one of his grandfather’s friends, and since his grandfather couldn’t refuse, he had to go along with it.

Maggie said, “Well, go ahead then. I’ll eat in the cafeteria.”

Johnny nodded. “Okay.”

Half an hour later, Johnny arrived at the restaurant.

It was a very romantic couple–themed restaurant.

When he arrived, the woman was already there.

As he was settling in, Levi arrived with his companion. He immediately spotted Johnny sitting at the table, though Johnny had his back to him and didn’t notice him.

Levi raised an eyebrow and, with his companion, sat down at a table behind Johnny.

Although Johnny was speaking softly, Levi, sitting close behind him, could hear him talking to his blind date, confirming that Johnny was indeed on one.

Noticing that Levi’s attention wasn’t on him, his companion was about to speak, but Levi put a finger to his lips, signaling her to stay quiet.

Excited, Levi pulled out his phone and secretly took a picture of Johnny and his blind date. He then sent it to a group chat with Franklin, Harry, and Julia.

“Guess what’s happening?”

“Hint: This is a couple’s restaurant.”

Harry, who had just finished work and was about to head out for a meal, checked the new message and immediately recognized what was happening.

He glanced at the photo but didn’t reply.

Franklin and Julia also didn’t respond.
