Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth

Chapter 2

Aurelia didn’t have time for many questions.

She hurriedly exited the subway and hailed a taxi to the address Linda had sent her.

It was an upscale restaurant.

It had a romantic setting with crystal chandeliers, a wall adorned with fresh flowers, and the gentle hum of instrumental music radiating an air of sophistication.

A sign stood tall outside the entrance, reading “Social Golf Club.”

Was this a subtle matchmaking event?

Aurelia’s mind was filled with question marks.

Linda had mentioned being divorced for a long time. Could this be an attempt at… late–life romance?

Linda aged gracefully, looking more like someone in her early forties than her fifties. She was always elegant in her attire, so finding a companion wouldn’t be challenging.

But why did she invite her?

As Aurelia pondered, a hand reached out to pull her behind a cluster of greenery.

“Aurelia, you’ve finally arrived.”

“Ms. Linda? Why are you out here? Are you here for a blind date?” Aurelia inquired.

Linda chuckled as she removed her sunglasses.

“At my age, I’m not interested in dealing with the hassle of a man. It’s my son who’s on at blind date today. Unbelievably, he’s stuck with a shameless woman. He’s ignoring her, and she’s already badmouthing him. I convinced my son to attend this blind date, and I don’t want this woman ruining it for him. Can you go in and help me handle the situation?”

“Ms. Linda, don’t worry. Which one is your son?” Aurelia reassured, supporting Linda, who was visibly upset.

“By the window, second table. He’s wearing a black shirt. His name is Leslie, thirty years old, 189 cm tall, with an average personality but good looks. And he’s…”

“Stop, I see him. You don’t need to tell me all the details,” Aurelia interrupted.

After all, it wasn’t her blind date.

Aurelia brushed aside the foliage before her. She spotted the man seated near the window, his back facing her.

Though his face was concealed, his tall, imposing figure exuded a chilly presence.

His slender hand gracefully held the glass, and the champagne inside accentuated the ivory- like whiteness of his fingers as it swayed gently.

The glass reflected his profile, showcasing a sense of depth and tranquility.

On the other hand, the woman sitting across from him in an off–the–shoulder gown didn’t

look pleased.

Despite her attractive appearance, her eyes were filled with disdain, and she frequently raised an eyebrow, appearing somewhat sharp.

Observing this, Linda nudged Aurelia. “Aurelia, I’m counting on you.”

“Well, but…” Aurelia gestured towards the people in the hall and said, “Can I enter such an upscale social event?”

“Don’t worry. I’ve got it covered for you. If anyone stops you, just show them this card. They’ll surely let you in.”
