Chapter 813

Diego wiped the sweat off his brow and said, "I'll swing by to pick you up. Oh, and maybe dress up a bit, okay?"

Nathalie teased him, "Worried I'll make you look bad?"

"Hehe, well, you know, a guy's girlfriend reflects his taste," Diego replied with a chuckle.

Nathalie quickly freshened up, adding a light touch of makeup to hide her tired look. She picked a dress from her closet, slipped it on, grabbed a purse, and headed out the door.

She waited by the entrance for Diego to arrive.

Meanwhile, a sleek black SUV was zipping down the road. Inside, Diego was with two of his buddies and a female classmate, chatting about their plans for the day.

Diego gave his friends a heads-up, "If any of you are interested in Jules's daughter, don't hold back."

One of them joked, "Come on, Diego, you're really trying to promote her. Is there something wrong with this girl?"

Diego laughed awkwardly, "Not exactly. It's just... well..."

Not knowing the full story, Diego guessed, "Maybe she had a rough breakup with

a jerk, and now she's dealing with some depression. Her dad thinks a new relationship might help."

"Why don't you go for her yourself then?"
