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,
Keera’s best friend.
How could he, Ellis, have such an idiotic cousin?!
Correct.
The DNA test results had been out for a while, confirming that Keera was indeed his cousin.
But Ellis didn’t want to acknowledge someone so foolish; thus, he kept it under wraps.
Today, upon hearing that his blind date was Mary, h couldn’t help but come over out of curiosity…
At this thought, he stood up abruptly. “You’re not suitable for me. I’ll pick up the tab for this meal; farewell.”
With that, he left straight away.
Mary still sat there, utterly baffled.
Indeed, she had a good impression of Ellis.
within was quite awkward. At every gathering, she was always caught between high and low and was often bullied.
Ellis had saved her, and she knew that although he called the devil in Clance, he was a man of principles and loyalty.
At each gathering, she would hide in a corner, secretly gazing at this man.
Her crush was well concealed…
“It’s ready, Miss Davis. It’s the dowry your family gave you. Are you sure you want to use it now?”
Mary looked at the road ahead. “Yes.”
After all, Keera had been a housewife for a few years; she didn’t understand that decisions within a family company like theirs couldn’t be made by one person alone.
Since she was in charge of the new energy research
and development, it was possible to offer her a
cooperation agreement and to hold Howard’s company accountable as well.
But it seemed that Keera hadn’t fully thought through the subsequent matters.
After the divorce from Howard, all the debt would fall on her shoulders. Where would Keera find twenty million?!
She couldn’t really let Keera end up on the streets with Amy, could she? Meanwhile.
Ellis also returned to the Olsen family and entered his. study, where he couldn’t help but say, “So that Mary Davis was her. I remember she was always quietly sitting in the corner at every gathering. Her face is unforgettable.”
Ellis had always remembered her.
Although Mary was quiet and unobtrusive, her face conformed exactly to his aesthetic preferences: bright features with a sense of peace and harmony – the type he very much liked Even when his family told him it was time to marry and have children, the first image that came to his mind was her, but…
Ellis shook his head, “Appearances can be deceiving. She has such a face, but she has wasted her intelligence. What a pity.”
Hearing this, his secretary asked, “Do I continue to update you on Miss Keera’s affairs?”
Ellis now felt a headache whenever he heard those two words.
He couldn’t resist complaining, “How can there be such a foolish woman in the world?”
The secretary didn’t dare to speak.
After working for the Olsen family for so many years, he understood their personalities all too well.
The Olsen family always covered for their own!
They could criticize their own cousin, but nobody else could!
Sure enough, Ellis went on. “Keep an eye on her. Don’t let her be completely taken advantage of. She’s my cousin, and even if she’s that stupid, at least make sure she can live a comfortable life!”
