The Decision
“So, shall we have a chat?” she suggested. Maybe he will reveal his true nature after we chat for some
time?
Wearing an impassive expression, Kyle nodded and walked into the room. After sitting across from her,
he perused her as if she was an object.
Then, he spoke in a very formal tone. “Is this how you usually dress?”
“Yes! I love to wear this type of clothes and wear heavy makeup as well. They make me feel alive. I
think life should be filled with colors and wonders.”
“Is that why you painted your face with all kinds of colors?” She looks exactly like a clown, and there’s
nothing graceful about her. I wonder why Grandma picked someone like her for me.
Seeing the frown on his face, the woman could not help but feel that something did not sit well with her.
His question, expression, and gaze are odd. Does he think I’m not good enough for him?
Swiveling her eyes around, she replied, “Yes, I like it this way. This is the real me. I think there’s nothing
wrong with being myself. I’m not like some people who put on a dignified front, yet deep down, they
have a playful and uninhibited soul!”
A playful and uninhibited soul? I can accept the “uninhibited” part since I do relish freedom after all. As
for the playfulness…
“Since when did you see me being playful?”
In private, Juan had always said that he had a stone-cold face and that he inherited that aspect from
their father.
Not only does she dress extravagantly and wear heavy makeup, but she also lies through her teeth.
How superficial of her.
“Don’t even try to deny it. I’ve seen evidence that showcased the playful side of you.” The photo that
Sophia had given her was the best proof.
Unable to fathom her words at all, Kyle decided there was no need to continue the conversation. It was
a complete waste of time. “Please excuse me. I need to attend to some important matters, so I’ll have
to make a move first,” he voiced as he rose to his feet.
He’s leaving? What the heck! Our conversation has barely begun, and he’s already going?
She asked directly, “Am I not good enough for you?”
Kyle did not hold back either. “I don’t think we are suitable for each other.”
So he does think I’m not good enough for him. Forget it. So what if his family owns Seet Group? That’s
not a big deal.
“Fine! I’m not interested in you either! Goodbye!” With that, the woman shot him one last glance and
left in a huff.
Watching her stalk out, Kyle felt as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders.
Meanwhile, in Room 228, Juan was eyeing the woman sitting across from him, his mind filled with
confusion.
“Why did my grandmother introduce you to me?”
Sally found it strange as well. Mrs. Seet had specifically told me that I was to meet Kyle. How did it turn
out to be Juan instead?
“I’m not too sure either. Perhaps, you should ask her?”
Juan thought about it and dropped the idea. If he were to question Sophia about it, she might think he
had complaints with her choice of his date and nag at him. Hence, the matter had to be dealt with care.
“It’s fine. There’s no need to ask my grandmother. Once we are done with our conversation, we will just
let her know about our decision. That’s all.”
Decision?
Sally frowned and asked, “What kind of decision are we talking about?”
What kind of decision?
“We just have to let my grandmother know if we are suited for each other or not. So, what do you think?
Are we?”
Sally kept quiet for a while. It did not matter to her if it was Kyle or Juan as long as it was someone
from Seet Group. With a smile, she said, “I think we are suitable for one another.”
“You think so?”
Juan was surprised. He recalled the scene when they first met each other and thought, I didn’t sense
any fondness from her end, so why would she think we are suited for each other?
“Do you really think we are compatible with one another?”
She nodded in response.
