“Who is this?”Â
Tyrell’s gaze fell on Rogelio across from her, and Dorothy smiled as she introduced, “My brother, Rogelio.”Â
“It turns out to be Mr. Acosta,” Tyrell reached out his hand for a handshake, “I am surnamed Calhoun, a friend of your sister.”Â
Rogelio shook hands awkwardly, feeling uncomfortable being complimented for the first time.Â
“Tyrell? Are you also in this restaurant?”Â
“Yes, coming over for dinner with a few friends,” Tyrell said, turning back to wave upstairs at the group of people.Â
The people sitting upstairs are all from his circle, including many wealthy children.Â
“Didn’t you say you would treat me to a meal? You still owe me a meal.”Â
She suddenly remembered this, laughed, “That’s true. If you hadn’t reminded me, I would have forgotten. So, when are you free?”Â
He shrugged, “I was free anytime.”Â
Dorothy nodded, “How about this weekend, I’m off this weekend.”Â
He gave a faint smile and said, “Okay.”Â
After Tyrell left, Rogelio watched his back with a fork in his mouth and said, “Dorothy, do you think that guy likes you?”Â
She choked and coughed, “What are you talking about?”Â
She met Tyrell when she was in college, if he really liked her, he would have made a move long ago.Â
Still waiting until now?Â
“I just feel that way,” Rogelio shrugged. “My sister is so beautiful, always being admired. People used to say we didn’t look like siblings. How come I didn’t inherit half of your good looks?”Â
Dorothy glanced up at Rogelio after finishing her meal.Â
Rogelio was probably joking when he said that, but if you look closely, Rogelio’s appearance takes after his mother. His mother was very beautiful when she was young, so Rogelio’s looks are particularly handsome and dignified.Â
Looking at myself, I didn’t look like my mother, nor did I look like my father…Â
Did…Â
After certain thoughts arose in Dorothy’s mind, they were immediately suppressed.Â
She had been with the Acosta family since she could remember, so something so out of the ordinary shouldn’t have happened to her.Â
