“Wow, you’re so amazing!” Nancy stared at him in admiration.
“I’m nothing compared to my boss. He’s the best soldier I’ve ever met.”
Caspian said humbly even though he was over the moon with Nancy’s praise.
“You’re always talking about that boss of yours. Is he really that good? I think you’re the best. Oh right? Why did you agree to this blind date? Did you family force you too?”
Nancy was very curious about Caspian. It was a wonderful feeling.
“I’ll introduce you to my boss if I get the chance in the future.” Caspian smiled. “I’m not forced to be here by my family, but rather my boss. He intends to introduce a girlfriend to me.”
Caspian suddenly felt a longing to have a girlfriend as he stared at the pretty and cute girl sitting in front of him.
“I see. Your boss really cares about you.” Nancy replied cheekily.
“Yeah. Did your family force you to be here? You were at Yartran when we last met. Where are you from?”
Caspian suddenly felt inappropriate to ask so many questions all at once. He quickly added, “You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to. I’m being too nosy.”
“I’m from Marsingfill. I went to Yartran because I heard the cherry blossoms there are out of this world and wanted to take a look.”
Time flew by as they were engaged with one another.
“It’s getting late now. I should head home. It’s been a pleasure meeting you. I hope we meet again in the future.”
Nancy smiled sweetly at Caspian.
“Ok. We will meet again.”
Caspian suddenly felt reluctant to let her go, but was too embarrassed to ask her to stay.
“Ok, I will take my leave then. Bye.”
Nancy hesitated for a bit before she bid goodbye.
“Wait.” Caspian plucked up his courage and asked, “Can I have your number please?”
“Of course. Here, jot it down.”
Nancy gave Caspian her number without hesitation.
The two of them parted ways soon after.
Caspian chuckled as he stared at Nancy’s contact number on his phone.
He giggled all the way back to Larry’s. Caspian rushed up to Larry with the intention of giving him a big hug when he saw him.
At the moment, Larry was deep in thought when he suddenly felt someone coming towards him. He aimed a kick at Caspian without a second thought.
“Ouch!”
Caspian fell to the ground and snapped, “Boss, are you trying to kill me?”
Larry gave a bashful smile when he saw that it was Caspian. “Oh, it’s you. I was deep in thought just now. Sorry.”
Caspian groaned, dusted his butt, and stood up. “Luckily, I’m well trained. Else, I would have been crippled by that kick of yours.”
Larry smiled awkwardly and asked, “Caspian, how did your blind date go?”
Caspian grew excited again at the mention of his blind date. He wrapped his arms around Larry’s neck and chirped, “Boss, thank you so much. If not for you, I would never have met Nancy.”
“Nancy? Is she your blind date? How did it go?”
Larry felt like things went well with the look on Caspian’s face.
“We hit it off right away! Nancy was the girl I met during my business trip to Yartran. I even got her number. Boss, thank you so much. I’ll do anything you ask of me in the future. I’m all yours—dead or alive.”
Caspian hugged Larry excitedly and almost wanted to peck him on the cheek.
“Hey, get lost!”
Goosebumps crawled all over Larry’s body as he quickly kicked Caspian away from him. However, he was also beaming with joy. He was genuinely happy for Caspian.
