Chapter 308
Did Ruby not say anything?
"Seriously? I saw a pic of your daughter too. She's drop-dead gorgeous, like a fairy. But my family's not loaded, so I'm probably not good enough for her."
"We don't care about that stuff. It's all about how you two feel about each other."
Stella grinned, "Hang tight. She'll be here soon!"
About ten minutes later, Aria showed up.
She had curly hair, a red dress, three-inch heels, and a designer bag. Total fashionista.
Her skin was a healthy tan. She had a necklace with a cute pendant resting on her chest.
She was pretty, but her outfit was way too flashy.
Her look didn't match her name.
Years of living abroad had clearly left their mark. I wasn't sure I liked it. Foreigners were so...forward. The last thing I wanted was a girl who'd been passed around.
"Hey, Miss Evangeline!"
"Hey, John!"
She checked me out, no shame, eyes full of admiration.
After shaking hands, we sat down facing each other.
Stella smiled and said, "You two chat. I got some work to do."
"You're handsome," she said straight up, "And I can tell you work out!"
I smiled, "You're beautiful too, with a great figure."
"You're my type. Let's give this whole dating thing a shot."
I was shocked, and even Stella, who was busy, just smiled and didn't say a word!
This wasn't being open, this was just crazy.
I said, "Um, Miss Evangeline, we just met. We don't know each other well yet. Isn't this too fast?"
"I know you well enough," Aria replied, "John, 25, Sevan City University grad, worked at Skyliho Group, then started WY Media Company Group. Your group's worth over three billion dollars and growing fast."
Aria continued, "Your education might be a bit below mine, but your height, looks, and skills are top-notch. Your genes must be amazing. If we have kids, they'll be outstanding too."
I thought, 'Why is everyone talking about kids? What's wrong with this world? Guys really need to watch out these days.'
"By the way, here's my info. Check it out!" She pulled a document from her bag, "It covers everything from elementary school to college graduation!"
I took it and saw it was super detailed. It listed all her awards and honors from school.
It even included her likes and dislikes, and most alarmingly, her dating history. Three relationships, all chaste.
No way.
She was lying to me.
Three relationships, only holding hands, not even a kiss? Yeah, right!
"What's up?" She asked.
"Nothing!" I put down the document. True or not, I had no feelings for her, not even for fun.
I liked beautiful women, but I didn't like being played.
She said, "I hope we can be honest. Speak up if you have questions. We can only solve problems by talking. The biggest issue for us Asians is being too reserved!"
"Really, it's nothing," I said with a smile.
She frowned, walked over, and plopped down next to me, "What part did you see?"
"Is it my hobbies and habits that bug you?" she asked.
"Nope." I shook my head.
"Then is it this?" she asked again.
"It's nothing, really."
"Is it my views on love and the number of times I've been in love?" she pressed.
"Miss Evangeline, really, there's nothing wrong!" I said.
"No, you're lying." She said, "You must find it weird that I've been in three relationships but haven't slept with anyone!"
I was taken aback; she was super blunt.
Stella also put down her work and started listening closely.
I felt really awkward. "It's normal for you to find it strange," she said, "For me, I just want to experience the feeling of love. It doesn't necessarily have to lead to anything. And while I was abroad, I realized they weren't my type. Even though I hate to admit it, I still like men from my country, and guys like you are what I like."
I said, "Miss Evangeline, I believe you, but I think it's too fast. I take relationships seriously because they affect the future. So, let's start as friends first!"
"Being friends is cool too." She nodded.
At this point, Stella, who had been quiet, chimed in, "Aria, I told you, your style would definitely freak people out here."
"Okay, then let's start as friends!" Aria said.
I breathed a sigh of relief. Being friends was fine. I nodded, "I'm totally down with that."
"John, now that we're friends, can I take you out for a meal?" She looked straight at me, and I got a bit nervous. Even though she liked local guys, her personality and habits were like a foreigner's. She was bold and straightforward.
It didn't seem right to refuse in front of Stella. I said, "Let me take you out for a meal."
"Okay!" Aria smiled, "Mom, I'm going out with John."
Stella nodded with a smile, "Take your time, no rush!"
I didn't quite agree with what Stella said.
Aria naturally held my hand, and my hand lightly brushed against her full chest. To be honest, her chest was really something.
She was the most attractive one among the women I knew.
Sitting in the car, Aria saw that it was a female driver, and she thought it was normal. I called Ava and asked her to bring someone from the company to sign the agreement.
The car stopped at the Sevan City Pearl Tower.
This was the third time I brought a woman to the Crystal Cove Club. Even though this woman wasn't someone I liked, I should treat her with respect, to repay Stella.
After the dishes were served, she skillfully picked up the knife and fork and started telling me about the interesting things she had encountered abroad. She was really good at chatting.
Most of the time, I was just listening to her talk.
Then she talked about her dream, "I hope to establish my own luxury brand before I turn thirty."
A luxury brand.
That was indeed a dream.
With the continuous improvement of the living standards of the Chinese people, a large number of foreign luxury goods have flooded in. This was a very valuable market. Apart from foreign luxury goods, domestic luxury goods had always been in a somewhat awkward position.
It seemed that if it's not produced abroad, it's not considered a luxury brand.
"I wish you success!" I said.
She smiled, "I was hoping you could help me with that."
I smiled. No wonder she was so attentive to me, but luxury goods were something I couldn't understand at all. I was very clear about my own abilities.
Just as I was about to politely refuse her, she took out a document, "Take a look!"
I picked up the document and thought it was a business plan or something, but as soon as I looked at it, I was hooked.
It was indeed a business plan, but more accurately, it was an implementable plan!
A second-hand luxury goods e-commerce platform. Luxury goods also had second-hand trading platforms.
But it's very difficult to manage, with a large number of inferior products mixed in.
