After marrying my boss (Anna) novel Chapter 57

“Anna, I’ll end our friendship if you don’t go!” Nat threatened me when her efforts of talking me into it didn’t work.

Ugh… I know Natalie didn’t mean it, but I find myself giving in to her demands anyway… I let out a helpless sigh at the thought of that.

“Fine… I’ll go, okay?” I said as I dragged myself to my closet and forced myself to get changed. A few days ago, I would have put more effort into my appearance, but that felt like a waste of time as I figured the person I would meet on the blind date wouldn’t suit me anyway.

Natalie tagged along for fear of me changing my mind, and we soon arrived at the restaurant.

The man I was meeting for this blind date had fair skin and looked sophisticated with his gold-rimmed glasses. That alone was a huge improvement compared to the other guys from my previous blind dates in terms of appearances.

Natalie gave me a nudge on the shoulder and whispered into my ear, “Not bad, huh? I told you you’d like this one!”

I simply rolled my eyes at her and kept quiet in response.

The man looked average and could be considered slightly handsome at best.

“Hello, Ms. Garcia. My name is Yuval Lambert. I’m a lawyer. It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance.”

The man held out his hand with a faint smile on his face.

I shook his hand out of courtesy and returned the smile. “Likewise. You can call me Anna. I work in an advertising company.”

Although I didn’t feel anything toward him, I was rather satisfied with his profession and appearance.

That was especially the case as I no longer believed in love, and the man before me was a lot better than the ones I had met on my previous blind dates.

After getting to know each other a little bit more over dinner, Natalie and I went home.

She was so excited that she grabbed my arm and started firing questions at me the moment we stepped through the front door.

“What do you think of Yuval, Anna? He’s great, isn’t he? The fact that he’s a lawyer makes him a decent match for you!”

“All external traits considered, I would say he’s all right.”

While I was in a hurry to get a boyfriend and get married, I wasn’t really looking forward to it myself. The only reason I wanted to get married sooner was so my parents would stop worrying about me.

“I take it that you have chosen him, then? In that case, I’ll contact him and set you two up for future dates so you can get to know each other better.”

Natalie got all excited upon hearing that and began making plans for me.

I simply shot her a glare and went straight to my room to get some rest.
