Chapter 259
“No,” Grace said lightly. “I have a friend waiting for me outside
too, so I have to go soon.”
“Hey, take it easy.” Andrea Schwartz added. “You don’t have a boyfriend now, do you? My boyfriend is
a professor at the university and knows a lot of people. Why don’t you let him introduce you to a few
men?”
She said as she followed Grace out of the washroom.
Then, Andrea Schwartz called out to a man of medium build standing outside the washroom. He
promptly came over.
Grace looked at the approaching man. He looked average in appearance but was a little older, looking
like he was in his late 40s. Obviously, this was Andrea Schwartz’s boyfriend.
“Banghe, this is my ex-colleague, Grace. I happened to run into her in the washroom just now,” Andrea
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSchwartz said. She added. “Grace, this is my boyfriend, Tyler Barber. He is a professor at Yuren
University.”
Andrea Schwartz sounded ostentatious.
It was Tyler Barber who hastened to correct her. “I’m only an
associate professor, not a professor.”
“In two years you’ll be a professor,” Andrea Schwartz said disapprovingly. She then asked Grace,
“Didn’t you say your friend is waiting for you outside? Where are they?”
Grace looked up and did not see Jason.
‘Did he leave first?’ she wondered in her mind.
Andrea Schwartz thought Grace had only said that as an excuse, so she said, “Why don’t we find
somewhere to sit? We’ll let my boyfriend see if he has someone in mind for you. He used to say that
marriage is a big problem for some of the workers in the logistics department at his university. There
should be someone your age there.”
Andrea Schwartz seemed somewhat embarrassed as she
said, “You don’t mind going on a blind date with workers, do you? I want to introduce you to some of
the single lecturers at Banghe’s university, but you know those lecturers will
usually ask for someone with a clean record. You might have a problem with that, but rest assured,
although their logistics workers aren’t that well paid and less educated, they’re
hardworking and don’t have much to do with others.”
Grace looked at her as she said all that and found it funny. She had never said anything about wanting
to go on a date, but Andrea Schwartz seemed to think that she desperately
wanted to.
“I don’t want any blind dates.” Grace rebuffed.
Andrea Schwartz’s eyes widened, and she stared at Grace in disbelief. “You don’t mind me introducing
you to a logistics
worker, do you? Grace, it’s not me. You’re not the same as you

were back then. You’ve got to ask for less. If you don’t go on
blind dates at your age now…”
“Why, is someone setting you up on a blind date?” A voice suddenly rang in Grace’s ear, and it seemed
to make Andrea
Schwartz’s voice stuck in her throat.
Jason, who was wearing a trench coat, walked over to Grace and passed her a glass of milk tea. “I
heard you say that you want to try this brand of milk tea. I saw it just now, so I went to get you one. See
if you like it. If you don’t, we’ll go and get another one you like later.”
Grace took the milk tea, which was warm, and held it in her hands. It warmed her hands up a bit.
She glanced at the brand name on the milk tea. She saw it on the news that the milk tea store had
come to Emerald City, so she mentioned to him that the milk tea was quite famous on
the internet.
