River smiled. “Alright, let’s head back in. You should have a proper meal, and you especially need to eat more. You really have lost weight.”Rosalie ignored him and strode back into the private room first.Seeing Madeline eating calmly, without any trace of awkwardness or sadness, Rosalie quietly sighed in relief.Even though she was the Lafayettes’ eldest daughter and the company’s vice president, meaning Madeline would not dare hold anything against her, she still felt guilty.What kind of matchmaker sets up a blind date only for the guy to ignore the girl and dote on herself instead?Rosalie decided that once Madeline completed a year at the company, she would consider promoting her based on performance.“Madeline, this is La Grande Solville’s signature dish.”She served Madeline a portion with a smile. “Try it.”Madeline thanked her warmly. “I already did, Ms. Lafayette. It’s amazing. No wonder it’s their specialty. Every dish here is incredible.”While the two had been o

Rosalie’s expression darkened.“River! Can you be serious for once?”River said innocently, “I am being serious. I’m not even smiling. Everything I said is true.”Rosalie was momentarily speechless.After a pause, she tried again. “So do you actually want to go on these blind dates or not? If not, I won’t waste time arranging tonight’s blind date, and I’ll cancel this whole month’s blind dates.“Yes, we signed an agreement, and I can’t go back on it, but if you’re the one not cooperating, that’s on you. It wouldn’t be my fault even if I canceled the dates.”River replied, “But I showed up, didn’t I? You arranged a blind date with your employee, and I came. I even brought her flowers. How is that not cooperating?”Rosalie gritted her teeth. “You came, but you didn’t engage. You didn’t even serve her food.“Why did you keep serving me? Do you have any idea how that looks? She probably thinks I’m the one you’re interested in!”River said guilelessly, “But I don’t know Ms. Lejeune

This bastard.River had not changed at all.Even as Rosalie glared at him, he leaned halfway across the table, stretching out a hand to lightly tap her forehead.“Rosalie, you look too serious when you glare. I prefer you smiling.” His tone was infuriatingly fond.Rosalie smacked his hand away and stood abruptly, her expression icy.“River. Come outside with me now. I have something to say to you.”River replied with an innocent smile, “Can’t we talk here?”She ignored him, turning on her heel and striding out.River had no choice but to follow.Madeline had not even gotten the chance to exchange more than two sentences with him the entire time.He had not looked at her once.Watching their retreating figures, she let out a quiet, bitter laugh.Why would the vice president play matchmaker for Mr. York and try to set her up with him?It was painfully obvious that he was into the vice president. Her presence here was just an excuse for a free meal.He had zero interest in h

“Rosalie, did you say something? I couldn’t quite hear you. Maybe you should sit next to me.”River grinned, pulling out the chair beside him in invitation.“It would make it easier to serve you, too.”Rosalie shot him another glare. He just kept smiling.Of course, there was no way she was moving.She was the matchmaker. What kind of image would it give if she sat next to him, letting him dote on her?Instead, she turned to Madeline with a bright smile.“Help yourself, and don’t forget to serve River, too. He’s not picky and he eats anything.“Plus, his cooking is amazing. Those lucky enough to taste it still rave about it.”Rosalie had only heard about this, of course.Given their rivalry, she never had the privilege of sampling River’s culinary skills.People claimed his cooking surpassed five-star chefs.Rosalie thought those people were just kissing River’s ass and refused to believe it, not without proof.Still, as the matchmaker, she had to sell his virtues.“Madel

To her surprise, Mandy had told her that if she liked River, there was a chance for her today to go on a blind date with him.At first, Madeline thought she had misheard.The company was arranging a blind date for her with River?Was this some kind of honey trap?However, if the company really wanted to use a honey trap, why would they pick her? She was not a stunning beauty by any means; there were plenty of prettier colleagues in the office.Mandy explained Ms. Lafayette’s reasoning for setting up the blind date. Though skeptical and doubtful, Madeline agreed after some hesitation.Whether the vice president was telling the truth or not, she wanted to take the chance.River might be an employee too, but in just a few years, he had climbed his way up to become the co-boss of Crest Co.Madeline was still new to the corporate world and was a bit naive and idealistic. She had not witnessed River’s brutal rise through Crest Co.’s struggles. All she saw now was a dazzlingly handsom

Meanwhile, at La Grande Solville, inside the private dining room Rosalie had reserved, River was already seated at the table.On the chair beside him lay a bouquet of flowers. He had rushed out to buy it from a nearby florist.It was just an ordinary bouquet for his blind date, meant to give the impression that he was sincere about this blind date. Later in the afternoon, he planned to visit the florist again and commission a money bouquet made of cash for Rosalie.Regardless of the sacrifices he had to make for his career, he needed to start pursuing her. He could work on transforming Crest Co. while winning her over. That way, by the time the company’s restructuring succeeded, he would have the girl too.After all, neither of them was getting any younger.He was thirty-one, and she was twenty-nine. In the eyes of their elders, they were practically spinsters.River’s phone buzzed.Rosalie was calling.He answered immediately.“River, where are you?”Rosalie had just arrived
