Chapter 39
The phone started to ring.
When Roxanne saw it was Bruce on the phone, she immediately picked it up. She squelched her throat
and said, “Hello!”
“Hello, Roxy!”
“Yes, Bruce?”
Bruce paused for a few seconds and asked in a deep voice, “Are you free tonight?”
Roxanne’s heart was racing with delight when she heard that. Bruce hadn’t asked her out for a long
time. “Yes, I’m free!”
“Let’s have dinner tonight!”
“Great! About what time?”
“I’ll pick you up at eight o’clock! We’re going to Blueiva Dinner. Remember to dress up.”
“Sure. I’ll see you tonight!”
“See you tonight!”
The phone hung up, and Roxanne jumped for joy.
Ingrid happened to be back. Seeing her daughter so happy, she sneered and asked, “Why are you so
happy?”
“Mom, Bruce just called me and asked me to dinner at the Blueiva Diner tonight! Mom, come and help
me pick the right dress!”
“Well, it’s all thanks to me. I can only help you so far. The rest is up to you!” Ingrid hummed.
Roxanne was a little shocked. “Mom, did you visit Bruce?”
“So what if I did?”
“Mom, you’re so annoying! I told you not to go after Bruce! Don’t snoop your nose into our business!”
“How could I leave you guys alone? You definitely can’t handle it by yourself. Look at you! You guys
almost broke up. If I hadn’t made my move, a random girl would’ve wooed Bruce away.”
Roxanne’s excitement immediately disappeared when she heard this.
“It looks like Bruce didn’t ask me out because he misses me…” she thought to herself. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
“That’s enough. Hurry up and get dressed. You two have a good time tonight! Be more open being so
reserved.”
Ingrid thought that her daughter was always good and shy.
She had no idea that her daughter actually quite enjoyed having fun with men.
“All right.”
Regardless, Roxanne would never stand Bruce up. Thus, she went off to pick up her clothes.

However, even if they rummaged through the whole closet that was full of clothes, they still couldn’t find
the right dress for Roxanne.
Either the colors were inappropriate, or the style didn’t fit her.
“Mom, these clothes are so out of fashion!”
“Well, I told you to go shopping for new clothes the other day, but you just wouldn’t listen! Now that
there’s something going on, you’re finally worried, aren’t you? I told you a long time ago. Clothes and
bags are women’s weapons. You need to always be dressed up beautifully. How can we get our
enemies to surrender and throw themselves at our feet if we’re not well equipped?”
Roxanne rolled her eyes and stopped listening to Ingrid’s lecture.
After all, she and Ingrid didn’t start out the same way.
They were in different eras too.
Ingrid’s experience with men was just not applicable to her.
“Just wear the white one! It complements your figure and temperament!”
After they picked the dress, Roxanne took a shower, styled her hair, and put on make–up.
She took the whole evening to dress up.
Looking at her glowing self in the mirror, Roxanne beamed with satisfaction.
She secretly swore from the bottom of her heart that she would drag Bruce to the bed tonight.
She was no longer a virgin, and Bruce was bound to find out if they went to bed together.
So, she had already got her secret weapon ready.
It was some sort of contraction pill.
She would need to put it into her private part before she made an advance on Bruce.
By then, her body would be like a young girl again.
It was eight o’clock at night.
A Maybach was parked outside the Haynes residence.
Bruce personally drove to pick up Roxanne.
Roxanne was wearing a white dress and a silk shawl today.
Her face was embellished with sophisticated make–up. She looked beautiful and innocent.
Blueiva Diner was the most exclusive restaurant in Greyport. They would turn away customers that did
not follow the appropriate dress code.
Hence, everyone would dress up to the nines if they wanted to dine there.
“You’re here, Bruce!”
“Get in the car!”
“All right!”
Roxanne opened the door and made a delightful entrance.
Bruce shot her a glance and casually complimented, “You look gorgeous today!”
“Well, I’m not that gorgeous most days!”
Bruce handed her a bunch of flowers and kissed her lightly on the forehead.
“Thank you!”
Bruce smiled and started the engine.
There were two cars following behind him.
The bodyguard and chauffeur were in the cars.

Actually, he didn’t need to drive the car himself.
Occasionally, he would feel the itch to get his hand on the steering wheel.
Soon, they reached Blueiva Diner.
“Welcome…”
The customers here were either rich or elite..
A lot of celebrities were regular customers here too.
That was why no picture–taking was allowed in the restaurant.
The customers here never needed to worry about breach of privacy.
“Wow, it’s Mr. Everett!”
“It seems like an engagement is coming on the way.”
The upper–class circle was small, and only a few people were going in and out of the venue.
Roxanne walked beside Bruce, enjoying the admiring stares that showered her.
“What would you like to have tonight?”
“A steak, please.”
“Some red wine, please, Bruce!”
“No problem.”
He had a chauffeur on standby anyway, so it didn’t matter if he drank.
“Okay.”
“Joann, it’s rare that you’re treating me to dinner. I will definitely feast later.
“That’s a must!”
Right then, Joanna and Jaydon came in side by side..
They saw Bruce and Roxanne the moment they walked into the restaurant.
Joanna paused and suddenly didn’t feel like eating here anymore.
“Jay, why don’t we go somewhere else?”
“What are you scared of? We’re here for dinner. We don’t need to say hello!”
