284 Good Impression

Keira watched as Ellis walked in and sat down at Table

8 not far away.

Mary watched from afar and immediately lowered her voice, anxiously saying, “See that man, Keera? The one in Table 8. How is he? He looks alright, doesn’t he?”

When Keira saw Mary’s cheeks flush, she remembered Ellis’s arrogance in Oceanion and coughed, saying, “It doesn’t matter what he looks like. Personality is key.”

Mary immediately responded with tension. “His personality is fine too. I went to a gathering before and faced some difficulties; he helped me…”

Her earnest justification made Keira immediately realize something and asked, “Do you like him?”

This past month, as Keera, she had come into frequent contact with Mary and had long noticed that this young lady was sharp-tongued but soft-hearted.

Mary’s ears turned red at this, and she said, “No, how could I be worthy of liking him? It’s just a blind date arranged by the family. I came to see if there’s any

connection!”

This stubborn facade…

Keira understood and smiled. “Yes, right, it’s just a blind date. Why don’t you go over there now? Don’t keep him waiting.”

Mary stood up awkwardly and walked over to Table 8, still adding a line to Keira. “I’m just going through the motions for my family.”

Keira shook her head in resignation at this.

She happened to have her back to Ellis, so he hadn’t noticed her presence.

It wasn’t until Mary circumvented the area that she approached Ellis.

Not knowing what to do with her hands and feet, Mary coughed and stood awkwardly next to Ellis. Then she started, “Mr. Olsen, hello, I’m Mary Davis.”

Ellis raised an eyebrow, nodding toward the chair opposite him as a sign for her to sit down, and then he eyed her seriously.

His gaze made Mary extremely nervous, and she couldn’t help but lower her head to inspect herself,

worrying about whether anything was amiss. While she was anxiously unsettled, she heard Ellis say mockingly, “So this is what you look like!”

Mary was stunned. “You know me?”

“Heard of you,” Ellis said indifferently. “I don’t think much of your family background, but I was curious to see what a foolish woman like you would look like. As expected, you’re just a vase with appearance.”

Mary was dumbfounded.

She frowned, and her fingers, hidden under the table, clenched tightly as a sudden pang hit her in the chest.

She took a deep breath, looking at Ellis with incomprehension. “Mr. Olsen, is there some kind of misunderstanding between us?”

“No.” Ellis blinked.

He wasn’t familiar with Mary; however, during the recent period of inquiring about “Keera”, he had heard too many ridiculous moves.

Mary’s own best friend was love-struck, but she didn’t stop Keera. She went as far as using her own family’s company to vie for a favor?

Ellis had always despised foolish, unprincipled people.

Mary’s actions had struck a nerve with him.

Therefore, in addition to his dissatisfaction with “Keera”, he also felt some resentment toward Mary,
