Chapter 854:
“Is it done yet?” Maggie asked after a moment.
“Just a second longer,” Austin replied.
After a few more inquiries from Maggie, Austin finally handed the phone back to her. “Here you go. I’ve downloaded the registration form for you. Just fill this out first p>
“Okay, let’s see.” Maggie held the phone away from her eyes and began to read the contents.
Yelena glanced at Austin, raising an eyebrow. Her expression seemed to say, “Really? You made up a whole tour just to cheer her up?” It was a kind gesture to comfort Maggie, but if she found out the tour didn’t exist, it could backfire on Austin. His solution was more of a quick fix than a lasting remedy.
Austin caught Yelena’s look and smiled reassuringly, as if to say, “Don’t worry p>
For some reason, Yelena felt her heart skip a beat.
Time passed quickly, and soon it was the day of Yelena’s blind date. Yelena hadn’t mentioned the date to her family or Elianna because she didn’t want any complications or for them to worry unnecessarily. Although Yelena was indifferent to what Elianna thought, she didn’t want to make things difficult for her parents.
Yelena arrived promptly at the restaurant for her meeting. As she entered, she instantly became the focus of everyone’s attention.
She found a seat, settled in, and texted her date.
Nearby, a phone buzzed.

John checked his phone, saw the photo, and scanned the restaurant. His gaze then settled on Yelena, who had her back to him.
Her back was slender, but her style was quite unique to John. Her hair was overly curled and adorned with various clips, giving it an odd appearance.
But what truly baffled John were her clothes: a red top paired with green bottoms, shoes showing her toes, and a pair of pink socks. John shook his head, wondering why anyone would dress so eccentrically.
He suspected that Yelena might be trying to sabotage the blind date by making herself look unappealing.
He wondered if she could maintain her confidence when she met Austin, who was undeniably handsome.
John sent Austin the details of the person he was supposed to meet.
Austin preferred to keep his distance from the person he was meeting. He was concerned that if she got a hold of his real contact details, she might become too persistent. So, he used John’s old phone number instead.
Initially, Austin hadn’t planned for John to join him, but John insisted on checking things out first. Coincidentally, Austin had to handle an unexpected matter at his office, so he agreed to let John go ahead. John texted Austin, “Bro, it looks like she’s not too keen on this blind date with you either p>
Austin was nearly at the restaurant when he glanced at his phone and saw John’s message. He quickly tucked the phone into his pocket and peered through the restaurant window, abruptly freezing.
From a distance, John noticed Austin’s sudden halt and was confused. Muttering to himself, he speculated, “Oh no, is the date so bad that she frightened Austin p>
At that moment, Yelena sensed someone watching her. She turned, her expression sour, trying to locate the source of the discomfort.
