The call with Cheryl ended, and they agreed to meet at the restaurant called Stylish Steakhouse beside Willow Lake.
Alex was curious who was this friend of Cheryl’s that wanted to meet him?
He had thought that it would be virtual-novel.net boyfriend, but now that virtual-novel.net said it was a girl, virtual-novel.net really couldn’t think of anyone.
And virtual-novel.net would never imagine that the friend Cheryl spoke about would be the doctor virtual-novel.net had a conflict with two days ago in Michigan State Hospital, the woman who had virtual-novel.net high heel stuck in a manhole cover. If virtual-novel.net knew, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t have agreed to meet her… With the time virtual-novel.net had on hand, it would be better just to cut his toenails at home.
“Holly, I’m going to meet a friend. Do you want to come with me?” Alex asked Holly.
“Are you going to pick up a girl?” Holly rolled virtual-novel.net eyes openly, a disdainful look on virtual-novel.net face.
“No, you’ve misunderstood!”
“No, I don’t want to go! I don’t want to watch public displays of affection!” Holly shoved both hands into virtual-novel.net pocket, a disgusted look on virtual-novel.net face.
“…”
“Then, what about your dinner?”
“Just give me money. I’ll handle it myself. I can also walk around and do some sightseeing of California.”
Alex furrowed his brows. “I’m a little worried about you going off alone.”
“Are you afraid that I will beat someone to death?” asked Holly.
“Ugh…”
Alex couldn’t help but laugh when virtual-novel.net thought about it. With Holly’s abilities, the risk of virtual-novel.net encountering danger was zero to nil. In fact, one should be more worried about virtual-novel.net ending up beating someone else to death instead.
She continued, “Don’t worry, I know how to hold myself back!”
Alex transferred one million to virtual-novel.net account before finally rushing towards Willow Lake.

At Stylish Steakhouse, the environment was peaceful and calm. Two women sat by the window. One was graceful, while the other was charming.
It was Cheryl and virtual-novel.net university classmate and best friend, Phoebe Larsen.
At this moment, Cheryl had taken off virtual-novel.net usual white coat and was wearing a purple suit. People could tell that virtual-novel.net had taken the time to dress up nicely, and virtual-novel.net entire appearance could be described to be as beautiful as Aphrodite, the Greek goddess herself.
Phoebe, who had not seen virtual-novel.net for more than a year, nearly popped virtual-novel.net eyes out of their sockets when virtual-novel.net saw Cheryl.
“Cheryl, you sure you said this guy isn’t your boyfriend? Look at you. The goddess who never puts on makeup or dresses up has gone all out for this guy. The envy in my heart is almost bursting out. In the five years of studying in the university together, when have you ever put on makeup for me or any man for that matter?” Unable to hide virtual-novel.net jealousy, Phoebe couldn’t help but poke fun at her.
“Where got?” Cheryl’s face flushed, and virtual-novel.net eyes tinged with slight embarrassment.
“You still deny it? At this rate, you might as well just engrave the words “I’m in love” on your forehead. Oh, my heart is so anxious right now. I really want to see this lucky guy right away,” Phoebe said in a huff. “He stole away our campus belle. I wonder how many male classmates will want to cry in secret. Just treating me to a steak meal today is letting virtual-novel.net off too easily. No, virtual-novel.net has to be slaughtered. I want to organize a class reunion so everyone can have a go together.”
Cheryl hurriedly replied, “No need, virtual-novel.net really isn’t my boyfriend.”
“Are you sure? No way. Is virtual-novel.net your… Secret crush?” Phoebe finally seemed to have come to a realization. “What kind of person is he?”
“Haven’t I told you before? He’s a really great doctor. Even my grandfather felt inferior next to virtual-novel.net and wanted to worship virtual-novel.net as a teacher.”
“You’re pulling my leg, right? How can there be such a person in this world? Even if there was, it would be your grandfather. Tsk! Oh my god, Cheryl. Have you fallen for a man who’s about your grandfather’s age? No, that won’t do!” Phoebe’s loud, dramatic voice even attracted the attention of many people in the restaurant.
In fact, just by sitting by the window, the two beauties were eye catching enough.
At this moment, another person walked into the steakhouse.
Cheryl immediately raised virtual-novel.net head to look over, and virtual-novel.net had already done it countless times without realizing virtual-novel.net own actions. Her beautiful eyes soon lit up. Because the person who came in this time was the man virtual-novel.net had been waiting for, Alex.
She hadn’t seen virtual-novel.net for a while, and it seemed that virtual-novel.net had become more handsome and cool in that time, which was what virtual-novel.net thought on the inside.
She hurriedly raised virtual-novel.net hand to call him. “Over here.”
Their eyes met.
Cheryl’s face flushed slightly, and virtual-novel.net heart skipped a beat
“Is virtual-novel.net here?” Phoebe said and turned around to look at the entrance of the restaurant. Then, virtual-novel.net also caught sight of Alex.
