    Chapter 125 The Man in Burgundy


    But what Laly think?!


    He did like her. He was wearing all <b>ck</b>, and even if she found it gloomy or boring, it didn’t matter.to hum


    Ouly whers would dress up for Lily!


    All day. Simon kept reminding himself that he wasn’t looking forward to this date–didn’t care about <b>it </b>


    one <b>but </b>


    And yet, three hours before the scheduled time, he still grimly ordered his assistant to prepare a few suits for him and had a styliste in to do his <b>hair </b>


    Lily sdidn’t really want to trouble James by having hime pick her up at the recording studio.


    But she didn’t know where the date was, and she didn’t have his number. All she could do was wait for him<b>. </b>


    He was very punctual<b>. </b>


    He’d said he’de at seven, and sure enough, at 6:59, she saw his car pull up not far from the studio.


    As they drove, she couldn’t help but wonder what her blind date would be like.


    There were several moments when she really wanted to ask


    But every time she looked up, all she saw was the cold back of <b>his </b>head, clearly radiating “don’t talk to me energy. So she held it in


    Whatever. I’m going to see the guys enough. Doesn’t really matter if I ask or not.


    When they arrived, her date was already there


    James pushed open the ornate double doors iid with gold. The moment they opened, Lily’s eyes were drawn to the man standing by the flour–to–ceiling window, framed by heavy velvet curtains embroidered entirely by hand.


    He had his back to her.


    Lily couldn’t see his face.


    But his tall, upright frame gave off an effortless elegance–like a lone pine on a mountain cliff. Even his


    Thouette exuded nobility <b>and </b>untouchable grace.


    The burgundy suit wrapped around him like crushed twilight. He twirled a wine <b>ss </bzily in his fingers, welding ayer of rxed charm.


    He looked good


    Lily wasn’t the kind of girl to fall for someone based on their back view alone.


    But still–her first impression of him was a solid<i>. </i>


    O


    Chapter 125 The Man in Burgundy


    She was starting to think <b>James </b>might actually be reliable.


    He’d clearly put some thought into setting her up with this guy. So far, he seemed like a great pick.


    Herst rtionship had left her with nothing but pain and heartbreak.


    After breaking up with John, she’d thought that maybe she was done with love for good.


    Maybe it was better to stay away from men. She’d be just fine on her own.


    But that failed rtionship–that was John’s <b>fault</b>, not hers. Just because she made one terrible choice didn’t mean she should give up on happiness altogether.


    If this <b>man </b>turned out to be kind and like–minded, she’d be open to giving it a shot.


    Simon had already been there for an hour.


    He kept telling himself the date was just a formality.


    He’d weathered all kinds of storms–this was nothing.


    No reason to be nervous.


    But somehow, the closer it got to the time, the more erratic his heartbeat became.


    And when he heard footsteps behind him–James and Lily approaching–his heart started pounding in his chest like a war drum. Even the wine bottles in the temperature–controlled cab seemed to be <b>glowing </b>red, reflecting off his ears.


    His ears turned redder <b>and </b>redder, like they were being dyed in wine.


    “Simon, I brought Lily,” James said.


    <b>Just </b>hearing her name made Simon’s ears burd hotter.


    Gripping the stem of the wine ss with a flushed face, he turned around stiffly and gave a proud, awkward grunt. “Mm.”


    That’s when James got a good look <b>at </b>his cousin.


    In his memory, Simon was always in ck–proper, but never one to care about his appearance.


    <b>This </b><b>was </b>the first time he’d seen him in such a showy shade of burgundy.


    <b>And </b>it was obvious he’d gotten his hair styled beforehand.


    It couldn’t be more clear how seriously he was taking this date.


    Watching his cousin strut around like a peacock, James felt a weird pressure in his chest.


    Still, he didn’t like Lily. So it didn’t matter.


    With no expression, he looked away from Simon and spoke <b>evenly</b>. “Lily, this is my cousin Simon. He’s <b>a </b>decent guy. You two should get to know each other.”


    Chapter 125 The Man in Burgundy


    Then he nced at his watch. “I’ve got something to take care of. I’ll leave you to it”


    Without another word, he turned on his heel and left the room.


    Lily wasn’t blind.


    She recognized her date instantly–Simon. That absolute weirdo.


    The tiny spark in her chest that had started to hope for a fresh start was immediately snuffed out


    Just like that, her impression of James <b>took </b>a nosedive.


    He’d gone out of his way to pick this guy for her?


    She wouldn’t trust his taste in men again.


    “Lily“”


    Simon put down his wine ss. His handsome face was cool andposed, like a clear sky after rain


    But beneath that calm, he could clearly hear his own heartbeat thundering.


    Looking at her facepletely bare of makeup and still astonishingly beautiful–his mind involuntarily reyed the image of her that day, drenched in freezing water, soaked and helpless, despair written all over her.
