" Javon , aren't you worried she's really upset ? Jealousy just means she still cares . Just go comfort her . " " I'm not doing it . She's overreacting . Once she calms down , she'll come back and comfort me instead . " In his mind , Jaelynn leaving for good wasn't even a possibility . Meanwhile , Jaelynn's phone buzzed with a message from her mother . Jael , do you have time for a blind date tomorrow ? Seven PM at Myst Coffee . " " Yes , I'll be there on time . " The next evening , just as she stepped out of her car outside the coffee shop , a long voice message came through from her mom . " Jael , I checked into him for you . His name is Zain Conner . He's twenty - eight years old , stands five - foot - ten , and works in the marketing department of a foreign company . He earns over 10 thousand dollars a month , is neither fat nor thin , and has an average appearance . Oh , he's somewhat introverted . His dad said he'll come straight after work . The signal is a white rose on the table . " Jaelynn chuckled to herself and thought , " Why not just send me a photo ? Why make it a treasure hunt ? " The coffee shop wasn't busy . She spotted the white rose almost instantly . It was placed on the table by the window , in front of a man in a suit . Taking a slow breath , she walked over . " Hello , I'm Jaelynn Norton . " The man lounged back in his chair , scrolling through stock prices on a tablet . At her words , he looked up , unhurried . For a moment , Jaelynn froze . The man in the perfectly tailored suit had a poised , almost noble air . This was what her mother called " average - looking " ? Composing herself quickly , she offered him a polite smile . " Excuse me , are you here for the blind date tonight ? " A faint smile curved at the corner of Agustin Calhoun's mouth , and he didn't deny it . 1101 Support genuine reading 35 % Install < Chapter 3 " Yes , Ms. Norton . Please , have a seat . " Jaelynn sat down . Silence settled between them . She wasn't sure what to say . Blind dates weren't exactly her forte . The man across from her didn't seem in any rush to speak either . She could only notice that his breathing sounded slightly uneven . Menu Catching sight of the stock market charts on his tablet , she ventured , " I heard you just returned to the country . Are you adjusting well ? I imagine work must keep you busy . " Agustin replied , " Work is manageable . Mostly , I'm adjusting to the time difference . I find myself wanting coffee at night . " His breathing had evened out , his tone now gentle and polite . " Ms. Norton , what do you do for work ? " So ... her mother hadn't told him ? Jaelynn smiled , " I was in charge of exhibition planning for the project department . Here's my business card . But I recently resigned , and I'm planning to start my own studio . " He accepted the card , glanced at it , and slowly ran a finger over her name . " Apologies . I didn't bring my business card today . " " That's fine . " Jaelynn's eyes drifted to the watch on his wrist . It was a limited - edition luxury model worth over 200 thousand dollars . His suit was clearly a custom - made Armani . This didn't match the modest profile her mother had given her . Just then , the waiter arrived with coffee and cake . Agustin asked , his voice calm , " Ms. Norton , you mentioned opening a studio . What kind of work will it be ? " " Jewelry design . It's been my dream since I was a child . " She had expected the meeting to be stiff and awkward . To her surprise , their conversation flowed easily . Then the phone on the table lit up . Agustin glanced at the screen , his brow furrowing slightly . " Ms. Norton , I have something urgent to take care of . Let's add each other on WhatsApp . " " Okay . " Jaelynn lowered her head to add him , making a quick note in her contacts . She didn't notice that , once outside , he walked straight to a waiting Rolls - Royce . Mr. Calhoun , did someone try to hit on you in there ? " " No. It was someone I haven't seen in a long time . "
