Annie wanted to make a couple of pointed remarks at that entric meathead, but Aaron’s presence


    seemed to make it difficult for her to express herself. In the end, she could only lower her head and


    keep silent.


    Aaron then frowned. “Why would you agree to go on a blind date with her if she disgusts you that


    much?”


    Gibby seated himself and responded arrogantly, “Her mother tried to set her up with a potential partner,


    so my mother caught wind of it and asked me to meet her. I had nothing to lose, so I figured it shouldn’t


    be a problem toe here.”


    Aaron then grinned. “Ah, so you intend to take advantage of her?”


    Gibby nced at Annie and corrected him, “Not exactly. I’m doing her a favor. If word gets out that


    none of the men introduced by her family are willing to go on a blind date with her, she can say


    goodbye to getting married.”


    Aaron sneered. “Cut the crap, pal. You came here because you think she’s pretty, and you were hoping


    to gain something from her since she has a good family background. Let’s be honest, someone of your


    standard has a zero chance of ever getting a girl like her.”


    Gibby’s self-esteem took a severe hit. “The hell did you just say? What do you mean, ‘someone of my


    standard’? Who are you to say that my standard is below par? I’m a graduate student at a prestigious


    foreign university! My mother tells me there aren’t a lot of guys like me in the country. What academic


    qualifications do you have? List them out, and we’ll see if you have the right to judge me!”


    Aaron grinned at him. “I’m not obliged to tell you my academic history because I don’t rely on degrees


    to be sessful. In my opinion, only those who have recently graduated and haven’t secured a decent


    job yet would brag about their education level. If my guess is right, you probably don’t have a job!”


    Gibby was tongue-tied as Aaron’s statement had hit the nail on the head. He did not have a job yet and


    faced numerous difficulties when job-hunting abroad.


    Upon returning to his home country, his parents arranged a few positions for him to try, but he did not


    find them to his liking.


    The offers were allughable, in his opinion. As a graduate student from a renowned foreign university,


    he turned his nose at the idea of starting from the bottom!


    Aaron continued to smile and stated, “I’ve seen loads of arrogant yet mediocre people like you. They all


    rely on their parents to take care of them even though they’re nearing their thirties. You’re blind to your


    ws, but you’re picky when ites to jobs and women. Look in the mirror, will you?”


    Gibby pointed at Aaron in a rage. “Who are you to say that about me? Don’tpare yourself with me


    if you don’t even have the balls to share your academic qualifications!”


    Aaron took a business card from his pocket and ced it on the table before pushing it toward Gibby.


    “As the VP of a publicly tradedpany, I’m not part of the upper-ss circle. Forthat reason, I still feel


    that I’m not up to Annie’s standards. I need to work harder.”


    Gibby was bewildered when he read the elegant text printed on the high- quality business card: Aaron


    Rhode-Vice President of Newmoon Group. Gibby had heard of the Newmoon Group before. It was a


    well-known and rapidly developingpany that many graduates from prestigious universities aspire


    to join!

    ‘How is he the vice president of the Newmoon Group?! Someone like him will probably be surrounded


    by tons of women! Why would he lower his standards to win the heart of an unwanted woman like


    Annie?’ Gibby wondered.
