In the restaurant, Camila and the professor sat across from each other.
Camila, we’ve been talking for a few days now, and I think you have a good impression of me. I feel like we’re a good match,” said the professor.

Camila played with her glass of water, smiling slightly without a word.
How could he feel that she had a good impression of him?
He said he was busy on the first day, yet he bombarded her with calls and messages. Who would have a good impression of him?
“By the way, how fertile are you? We should go to the clinic this weekend to check,” the professor suggested.
Camila’s eyes widened in disbelief, shocked that such words could come from a university professor, from a man she was meeting for the first time on a blind date.
“What if we get married and then find out you can’t have children?”
Camila was utterly speechless and scoffed, “You mean to say you’ve already been checked and are healthy?”
“Hahaha, just kidding.”
“But I think what you said makes a lot of sense. Let’s go check together this weekend! I’ll get an abdominal ultrasound, and you can get a brain CT,” Camila said with a laugh.
“It was just a joke. Don’t be mad,” the professor frowned.
Camila smiled quietly.
“I heard from my aunt that you work as a secretary at a big company and have a good salary. She also said you have high standards when choosing a partner,” the professor said sarcastically.
“Maybe.”
“I think we should get married first and then get to know each other better. How about we pick a good day and go get the certificate?”
Camila gracefully took a sip from her glass. “Forgive me for being direct, but we’ve only known each other for a few days, and you’re talking about marriage and certificates the first time we meet. We’re not suitable.“.
“What’s wrong with you? Blind dates are meant for marriage. Now you’re telling me we’re not suitable at this time? You’re just wasting my time. Don’t think you can mess with people just because you’re pretty,” the professor said angrily.
“Sorry, this meal is on me.” Camila took out a bill and placed it on the table. “The clothes can still be returned. I have to go now.”
“What do you mean by that!”
Camila waved her hand and left the diner, feeling great. She went to a convenience store, bought some snacks, and sat inside to eat.
At Future Inc.
Two secretaries whispered in the break room.
“I always heard Camila had a boyfriend, so it’s true.”
“But that guy doesn’t look good. He seems like a bit of a loser and not worthy of Camila.”
Connor passed by the break room, and heard everything clearly. His brow furrowed tightly. Back in his office, he felt a bit suffocated and
tugged at his tie. His slender fingers tapped on the desk, each tap squeezing the discomfort in his heart.
At the convenience store, Camila was casually eating her snacks when her phone buzzed. The screen showed ‘Mr. Connor.
She quickly swallowed her food and answered, “Hello, Mr. Connor.”
A deep voice came through, “Camila, where’s the report from this morning’s meeting?” Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
“Ah?” Camila was confused. The meeting went on until nearly noon. How did he expect it to be ready so quickly?
“Mr. Connor, it’s not ready yet. I’m heading back now.”
“Mhm.” Connor’s voice was low, and he hung up without another word.
Camila glanced at the barely touched shacks in her hand, regretfully threw it in the trash, and quickly walked back to the company.
Less than ten minutes later, Camila sat at her desk, panting as she organized the meeting notes.
A shadow loomed over her. Camila looked up, smiled professionally, and said, “Mr. Connor, give me fifteen minutes, and I’ll send you the summary.”
