Zachary spoke up. "Mr. Septer is a mysterious person. He won't appear unless Mom is in danger."
"No wonder. When we were abroad, I only heard you had a bodyguard, but I never saw him," Kiki added. She had her own bodyguards, but they were always fn plain sight. They were easy to spot.
Because of Claude's special status abroad, everyone around him was affected. So, he had people protecting Yvette and her family.
Ten minutes later, Ray appeared at the door. He wore a suit and exuded an aura that kept people at a
distance.
Kiki's eyes lit up. "What a handsome guy..
Zachary handed her a tissue. "Wipe your mouth."
Kiki gulped.
Yvette knew her best friend very well. Although Kiki was acting like a hopeless romantic, deep down, she held someone special in her heart.
For that man, Kiki had forsaken dating and marriage, even though she was already 27 years old.
"Come in. This is my friend, Kiki. There's no one else here," Yvette said. Upon hearing that, Ray glanced
at the house.
Zachary said politely, "Mr. Septer, it's a holiday tomorrow. Let's have some cookies together."
Ray's tense expression softened a little. "No, thank you."
Yvette knew he preferred solitude, so she didn't make him stay. She packed some cookies and handed them to him. "Happy holidays."
"Thank you." Ray took the packet and left.
After he left, Kiki said doubtfully, "He doesn't seem like a bodyguard."
"What makes you say that?"
"It's just a feeling... It's hard to explain."
Yvette also felt like he didn't come from an ordinary background. Although Ray had protected her for years, their interactions were mostly brief and professional. The most physical contact they'd had was when she had taken the spiked wine.
Just then, Kiki's phone rang. It was Michael.
"What is it?"
"You're not getting any younger. I've arranged a blind date for you at 9:00 am tomorrow at the Plate &

Palette."
Kiki's expression turned grim. "I'm not going!"
"Do you think I'm asking you? Don't forget, everything you have now is because of me! If you don't want to be part of the Torres family, you can get lost! "This time, regardless of whether you like the person or not, you can't stand them up! Unless they don't like you, it has to work. Don't you disappoint me!" Kiki clenched her phone tightly. She had been unable to control many things since she was a child.
She had put the call on speaker, so Yvette had heard the entire conversation.
Kiki was distressed. "But I have plans tomorrow...
The reason she and Zachary were making cookies and why Yvette was here was because she needed to go somewhere early in the morning.
Zachary chimed in. "Mom, why don't you go in Kiki's place tomorrow?
Kiki was stunned, but Yvette was even more surprised. "L... can I?"
Kiki seemed to have found her savior.
me."
"You can! I've been abroad for many years and rarely come back, so those rich guys won't recognize me. "But..." Yvette hesitated. Both parties usually had each other's information for a blind date. Still, Kiki quickly reassured her. "Don't worry. I've been through this before. We're all forced to go. these things by our parents. My dad didn't even mention who it was.

"Do you get it? The other party probably won't mention it either. It's all for show."
Zachary looked at Yvette expectantly. "Mom, this is a rare opportunity. What if you like him? Then, Noah and I might get a dad."
