Blind date: Whirlwind Romance

"Mom, got it! I'm already in front of the café, just like this!" Travis Duncan impatiently hung up the phone. He is 28 years old and has never been in a relationship. After serving in the military for 7 years, he worked in a hospital in Aketard for 3 years, he just finished his internship and stepped into residency in St. Josef hospital, earning 60,000 dollars per year! His mother worries that he won't be able to find a wife, and urges him to get married every day, but he has no ability to find a girlfriend himself, so he can only go on blind dates. He has already met 17 blind date candidates before! Knowing that it's pointless, he still has to go through the motions, Travis is really annoyed! "Help! Help..." Just as Travis was about to enter the café, he heard a weak cry for help. An old man had fallen on the road, countless people passed by, but no one dared to help! After all, in this day and age, helping an old person could risk losing a few zeroes from your bank account. Who would be so foolish? But Travis was not afraid, he directly helped the old man up and asked, "Old man, is there something wrong?" "It's nothing! Thank you, young man! It's rare to see someone as kind-hearted as you these days, I'll repay you properly!" the old man smiled. Travis then noticed that his appearance and demeanor did not match, his clothes were tattered, but his ten fingers looked like those of a well-cared for person! Travis was in a hurry for the blind date, and the old man said it was nothing, so he hurriedly entered the café without thinking about repaying him. The café was very large, like a maze! His mother said the other party was at table 8, but he couldn't find it after wandering around, and accidentally stumbled into a special area. The lighting here was soft, with flowers everywhere. A gentle breeze blew, carrying the fragrance of flowers, it was like heaven on earth! Travis raised his gaze and instantly froze! There was a beautiful woman sitting at a table! Her looks, figure, and skin were impeccable! She was God's only favorite. The beautiful woman was quietly drinking coffee, her legs naturally crossed, and there was a book "Power Broker" on the table. It was the foreign language version. When she saw Travis barge in, her icy gaze raised, and a hint of confusion and disgust crept into her delicate eyebrows. Pff. Pff. Pff. A stunning encounter, Travis suddenly heard his heartbeat with each beat. He had lived for 28 years without any girl being able to touch his heart. Especially after becoming a Resident in gynecology and seeing countless women's bodies, he even felt that he had lost interest in women. But this beauty in front of him made his heart race! Was it nervousness, or did he have feelings for her? What surprised Travis even more was that there was a big number 8 on the table she was sitting at! Was this his blind date?! Travis took a deep breath and quickly straightened himself up before walking over. He sat down in front of her. The expression on the beautiful woman's face grew increasingly astonished, and a faint cold light flashed in her eyes! How dare this man! It was one thing to intrude into her private room, but to also dare to sit across from her? Travis ignored the expression on her face, after all, being disliked by women was not a new experience for him. The formalities were completed, whatever happens, happens! "Nice to meet you! My name is Travis Duncan, 28 years old,  a Resident in gynecology , earning 60,000 dollars per year, and I haven't bought a car or a house yet." For other men, it would take great courage to say such words to a woman, but Travis was very calm. He had an air of tranquility! The beautiful woman looked at him, surprised for a moment, and her rosy lips suddenly curled up with humor: "Nice to meet you, I'm Avalynn Hunter! I am 27 years old, with dual PhD degrees from Harvard University in Finance and Business Administration, earned 3 billion last year, and I own both a car and a house." Travis was utterly dumbfounded! What the hell? He always thought that women who needed blind dates must have some major flaw! But he just couldn't find any flaws in this woman. Not even the slightest imperfection! Could she be crazy? Or perhaps, she had a disability? Or maybe she was infertile? Countless miscellaneous thoughts raced through Travis's mind. Seeing his expression, Avalynn's lips slightly curved up again, unable to hide her pride in her cold gaze. She deliberately introduced herself like this, to embarrass this man and make him retreat! The atmosphere became awkward for a while. Neither of them spoke. Forget it! Regardless of whether the other party was telling the truth or not, Travis decided to go through with the process. Whether it works out or not, he could at least give an explanation to his mother when he went home. "Although I have a low income, if you're with me, I will definitely protect you and not let you suffer any harm!" "At home, you can be the queen, I'll take care of all the household chores!" "But outside, in front of my family, I hope you can give me the face a man should have!" "If we get married, I'll have 5,000 dollars in my bank account every month, 3,000 of which can be handed over to you..." Just like before, Travis stated his bottom line in one breath. Seeing that he not only didn't feel embarrassed, but also made serious promises, Avalynn was completely stunned! After a while, she burst into laughter. There really isn't any man who can give her such pleasure! "Why are you laughing?" Travis was a little dissatisfied, "I know my conditions are not good, but I promise that if we get married, I will fulfill the responsibilities of a man!" Pff. Avalynn couldn't help but chuckle again. Travis was displeased, "Miss Avalynn, what are you laughing at? Don't you think you're being impolite?" "Sir, you are a good man!" Avalynn stopped laughing, her whole persona suddenly turned cold, "But have you made a mistake? I'm not here for a blind date!" Huh? What the hell? Travis instantly widened his eyes, "Isn't this table 8?" "It is table 8, but this is the VIP section, the main hall's table 8, please go right after you exit!" Avalynn's jade finger was cold as she pointed outside. "This... Sorry, sorry! I went to the wrong place!" Travis suddenly felt embarrassed enough to dig out three rooms and two living rooms on the spot, and quickly stood up, feeling very awkward. What a big embarrassment! It was amazing that he can even go to the wrong table on a blind date! No wonder the beauty had been laughing, she must have thought he was a toad wanting to eat swan meat! After Travis left an old man walked in. If Travis were present, he would surely be very surprised, because it was the person he had just helped up! "Avalynn, perhaps this is fate?" "You have androphobia, at 27 years old you've never been in a relationship, and no man has dared to approach you!" "But that man did, and he is honest and kind. He just helped me up outside, without any intention of seeking any rewards!" The old man was none other than Lamar Hunter, the chairman of the Aketard's top conglomerate. Although he was extremely wealthy, he had regrets in life! He had three sons, but they all died before him, leaving him either childless or only with daughters. Avalynn was his most cherished granddaughter, and she was also the successor of the Timberlight Group. Although she was intelligent and courageous, she was ultimately still a daughter! So, before he died, he wanted to see the birth of a great-grandchild from outside the family. He deliberately fell outside the door just now, in search of a man with a sense of justice, whom he could arrange for his granddaughter to choose. However, he didn't expect that the man would unknowingly end up being acquainted with his granddaughter. Isn't this destined by fate? Avalynn's expression was cold. "Grandfather, he passed your test, but he hasn't passed mine. If he can pass my test, then I will marry him." She wanted to fulfill her grandfather's wish, but she also wanted to marry a reliable man. To marry based solely on a blind date would be too hasty! "Good! I believe that man can surely pass the test!" Lamar Hunter's old eyes brightened, filled with anticipation.
