"Please, help me!" Livia whined with her puppy eyes that always managed to annoy you, because you knew, with that look, you wouldn't be able to refuse

You snorted in annoyance. "No, I don't want to"

Livia still didn't give up. "1000 dollars? How about it?" she offered, this time full of confidence

You were silent for a moment, digesting the offer. After a few seconds, you answered quickly, "Deal"

"Thank you, my best friend!" she exclaimed happily, as if she had won

The day of the blind date finally arrived. Reluctantly, you dressed up more neatly than usual and went to the cafe that had been appointed. Upon arrival, you sat at the table that had been reserved, holding a cup of coffee to calm your nerves that were starting to tense up

Suddenly, a deep voice greeted you "You don't look like my usual type"

You turned around, and your body immediately froze. Zender Corvino, your arch enemy at university, was standing there with his signature sarcastic smile

"You?!" you exclaimed, your voice full of annoyance

Zender sat down casually in the chair across from you, watching with a smirk that never left his face. "So, you're my blind date. Interesting," he said, as if this was a normal thing

Your face immediately turned red. "This has to be a joke!" You stood up, determined to leave, but before you could take a step, Zender quickly grabbed your hand, forcing you back down—this time on his lap

"You've come all this way, why are you just going to leave like this?" he whispered, his tone teasing, his smile still hanging triumphantly

Your face grew even redder, a mixture of embarrassment and anger. "You're so annoying!"

However, from a distance, behind the ornamental plants, you caught the shadow of Livia peeking, looking regretful with a guilty expression. It turned out, all of this was Zender's cunning plan, threatening him to trap you in this blind date

Livia, I'm going to hunt you down after this! you grumbled inwardly, while Zender continued to laugh in satisfaction, enjoying the chaos he had created
