Chapter 57
Odette was glancing at the menu when she threw him a glance, "You were dressed so feminine the last
time, I thought you were gay. Not that there's anything wrong with being gay, I respect everyone's
sexual orientation."
Ramsey was drinking water and almost choked.
"Ms. Farrar, you've got me all wrong. I'm straight."
"I don't like dressing too provocatively either."
"Alright then! Let's get to know each other again today." Ramsey said.
To help Violette figure out the mystery behind Ramsey, Odette shook his hand.
After ordering the food, they started chatting.
An hour later-
"I have a friend who got married all of a sudden. He has feelings for his wife, but he finds it hard to
express them. Recently, his wife ran into some trouble and he asked me to help her." After a sip of red
wine, Ramsey started blabbering, "The funniest thing is, his wife doesn't know I'm friends with her
husband. When she first met me, she was really pissed. She thought it was inappropriate to meet a
strange man so casually... Do you find this amusing?"
Odette was taken aback, "I also have a friend who suddenly told me she got married! But she wouldn't
tell me who her husband is! She's been wanting to get a divorce, and I'm not sure if she'll be able to get
out smoothly."
Ramsey, "The world is indeed vast, full of all sorts of things."
Odette, "Yeah! I definitely wouldn't rush into marriage." Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Ramsey, "Same here."
At this point, Odette decided to probe to see if he really had 1.2 billion in his bank account.
"Do you use mobile payments or cards for shopping?" Odette asked casually.
"Mobile payments. They're really convenient these days."
"But aren't there transaction limits for mobile payments?"
Ramsey said: "I rarely buy anything too expensive. After all, I only graduated not too long ago, I don't
want to spend too much of my parents' money."
Odette nodded, gathered her courage and asked directly, "So how much savings do you have?"
Ramsey didn't expect Odette would ask such a private question.
"Do you think I look poor?" Ramsey guessed and answered candidly, "I only have a few hundred
thousand in my account."
Odette pursed her lips and shook her head out of politeness.
Should she believe Ramsey, or should she believe Violette?
Judging by Ramsey's expressions and tone, he didn't seem to be lying, but Violette was her good
friend and she trusted her unconditionally.
"Do you have any important responsibilities at your family's business?" Odette changed her strategy.
Who knows, the 1.2 billion in Ramsey's card might belong to his father.
His purchase of the Dennis Group might have been his father's idea, right?
"No! I'm not interested in my family's business, even though my father hopes I could take over."
Ramsey's response left Odette more confused.
She really wanted to ask directly, but she wasn't that close with Ramsey yet.
If she asked now, he definitely wouldn't tell the truth.
It seemed she had to take a more aggressive approach.
"Ramsey, what do you think of me?" Odette showed a sweet smile, "I think you're quite nice and I'd like
to take things further, what do you think?"
Ramsey was clearly surprised: "So soon?"
Odette's smile faded a little.
"Ms. Farrar, I didn't mean that... I just thought we could meet a few more times, get to know each other,
and then decide whether to take things further..." Ramsey hastily explained.
The more he explained, the more dejected Odette looked.
"Alright! Ms. Farrar, I apologize. I didn't realize you were so satisfied with me. Since you're willing to
take things further, I'm surely willing..."
"Ramsey, don't call me Ms. Farrar in the future, call me Odette." Odette's smile bloomed again, she
made a decision in her heart that she must uncover Ramsey's secret within half a month.
Ramsey was lost in her sweet and charming smile, feeling like he was dreaming.
Things were happening too fast!
He got a girlfriend so quickly!
When Violette found out that Odette had a boyfriend, she was almost stunned.
Wasn't this too risky?
As she was replying to Odette's message, an unknown call came through.
She accidentally hit the answer button, and a strange male voice came through —
