Chapter 302 Blind Date
“Now?” Melanie asked with surprise.
“Yes. If you’re available now, our car is already below Jones Enterprise. Besides you, we also invited Mr.
Quicksilver.”
Melanie agreed.
She quickly tidied up and went out. She saw Quincy coming out of the temporary office. The two of them got into the car driven by Luis Romero’s assistant together.
Opening the door to a private room at the Imperial Restaurant, they saw Luís and a delicate girl by his side.
The girl was adorned with jewels, and the heavy gold accessories made her seem a bit old. In fact, she was
only about twenty years old.
Melanie and Quincy exchanged glances, unsure if this girl was Luis’s daughter or his mistress…
“Miss Melanie, Mr. Quicksilver. Please have a seat.”
Luis stood up, and Melanie and Quincy quickly asked him to sit as well.
“You don’t have to stand on ceremony. We’re just having a meal today.”
Luis sat down first. Melanie and the others followed suit. Melanie didn’t want to play polite and asked, ” President Romero, you came to Harbor City so soon again. Is there something important?”
“No, no.”
Luis smiled, looking seemingly kind, making it hard to discern the sincerity in his smile. “I won’t beat around the bush with you, Miss Melanie. I want to personally thank you for the mountain bike race incident.”
With that, Luis raised his glass, signaling them to do the same.
Melanie gracefully lifted her glass, and blinked. “President Romero, since you’re straightforward, let me be direct too. I helped the participants of the mountain bike race. As an organizer, wouldn’t you see me as your enemy? Why are you thanking me?”
Luis evaded the question. “I propose a toast to both of you!”
“President Romero, if you don’t make it clear, I wouldn’t dare to accept your toast.” Melanie smiled.
Luis laughed heartily. “Miss Melanie, you’re indeed formidable! You’re helping me by helping the participants. Without your rescue, the severity of this accident would have escalated. How could we handle the aftermath?”
Luis spoke the truth, and it was rare for a boss of his level to admit his mistakes. Melanie smiled and finished the wine in her glass.
“Refreshing!” Luis also finished a glass of wine. “We’re just having a meal today. I like dealing with young people the most, and I sincerely consider you both as friends. Please don’t feel restrained.”

Afraid that Melanie and Quincy wouldn’t believe him, Luis looked at the young girl next to him and said, “This is my daughter. She just set her sights on a university in Harbor City and wants to study here. I will inevitably trouble you both in the future.”
“Congratulations,” Melanie replied. She didn’t comment on anything else.
“There is another guest coming today. To be honest, I only have one daughter, and she’s precious to me. Since she became an adult, I’ve been worried about her marriage. It’s not easy to find someone she likes and someone I can entrust her to. She finally likes someone, and I invited him today as well,” Luis continued.
Melanie and Quincy exchanged glances again. It seemed Luis had arranged this dinner to introduce a potential son-in-law to his daughter. Wouldn’t having two outsiders present be awkward?
“President Romero, this is your family matter. Are you sure that we won’t trouble you by being here?” Melanie didn’t understand Luis’s arrangement.
Luis waved his hand. “You’re not outsiders, you’re family! Moreover, the person she likes is someone you know, not a stranger!”
As he was speaking, the door of the private room opened, and a tall and imposing man walked in. Seeing his face, Melanie blinked. Her gaze suddenly turned cold.
