On the phone, Linda said that she also had good news. Nola took many guesses and could only think of one thing
She assumed it was about the mysterious boy who had been playing games with Linda for almost a year. Linda said he was a game guru and her idol. Since she was so happy, were they going to meet?
“Linda was straightforward and carefree. If she says something wrong, please ignore that?
“I’ve seen her.” Elvis parked the car and helped Nola hold the scarf.
“When?”
“In the bar! You were drunk and shouting to marry me.”
Taken aback, Nola coughed twice and had a bad feeling, wondering if Elvis would talk about this matter until he was eighty years old. Wasn’t she just drunk? Did it make him so proud?
She hummed a few words and ignored him.
Elvis opened the door to take her hand to help her out of the car. Afraid she would get cold, he put a scarf on her and bundled her up before letting her get out.
Looking at her bloated self, Nola was speechless.
“How fragile do you think I am?”
“Did you forget that you had a fever last time?”
But there was only a short distance. Nola thought whether all husbands always worry their wives would easily feel cold.
Nola kept up with Elvis. They arrived at the restaurant and went to the reserved box. Nola first took off her thick clothes, and she looked like she had lost so much weight after that.
Linda arrived quickly. She gave Nola a bear hug.
“Gal, you seem to be a little fatter.”
“Am I?” Nola touched her face subconsciously, then turned to look at Elvis. If he gained weight, it must be Elvis‘ fault.
Linda couldn’t be happier because Elvis, who she had seen and was her Prince Charming, actually appeared before her and deigned to eat hot pot with her and Nola. Linda had said she would test Elvis for her best friend, but Elvis obviously had got Linda’s support without doing anything.
“Sweetie, I told you that you could make it.”
Linda smiled mischievously, “Mr. Grayson, I am Nola’s best friend, Linda Hopkin. Between you and me, it was me who gave this little coward advice that she should come to you.”
Elvis smiled, “Well, I’ll thank you well today.”
His voice was not gentle but friendly, which already made Linda a little elated.
“Who said Prince Charming is cold? Who said that no one is worthy of Prince Charming? Nola is very suitable.” Seeing Elvis and Nola sitting together, Linda felt it was better than thousands of beautiful scenery.
Her best friend married the most powerful man and would be rich.

Of course, Nola and Lina didn’t want to get something for nothing. They would still work hard.

Concerning Elvis‘ taste, they chose a double–flavor hot pot so that they could have both spicy broth and plain broth. As for the food, it was rare for Linda to be able to order whatever she wanted.
“Today was mainly to celebrate Nola and Elvis being together and Nola’s first day of work, which was a new beginning.”
Eating and drinking, Nola and Linda were having a great time. Elvis only knew that Nola didn’t get along well with her family, and now he knew Linda seemed to be her only good friend.
“It’s really not easy for Nola to stay this long. Even if you are Elvis, I will take her away if you dare to let her down, and you will never find her and regret it forever.”
Elvis smiled and toasted with coffee. “I won’t give you this chance.”

“That would be the best!” Linda sat down, took long breaths, and said quietly, “How much courage do I have to muster up to dare to say that to Mr. Grayson? That’s a test for my psychological endurance.”
Nola secretly laughed. She was a little scared at first, but she gradually got used to it.
“You said you have good news. What is it?”
Linda chuckled and started talking. It was right as Nola had guessed, which was indeed related to the boy Linda had never
met.
“You can’t laugh at me anymore. Let me tell you, I also have a cute guy, and we are in the same city. I just found out that he is here too. It’s incredible.”
“So, are you going to meet face to face?”
Linda bit her fork. “To be precise, it should be, and it’s just on this Sunday. So Mr. Grayson, can I borrow Nola and accompany me shopping this Saturday?”
“You’ll meet your friend in the game? What game do you play?”
Spencer Jones also liked games, as well as his two younger brothers.
“Action game!”
Linda casually mentioned it, but Elvis didn’t pay much attention. But he felt familiar with the game username Linda had said, as if he had heard it somewhere before.
Linda was in the game company and had complaints about her work, so Elvis mentioned, “A friend of mine also works in the game industry. If you don’t want to stay in your current company, I can introduce my friend, and you can go and have a look.”
“Is he in the same business?”
“He programs and develops games. If it is suitable, you should be happier than you are now.”
“Is that okay? Will it cause you any trouble?”
“No. Spencer should welcome Nola’s friend.” Only then did Nola remember that Spencer was in the game industry and was doing very well.
“Spencer is a nice person. If you feel depressed, you can go somewhere else.”
Linda smiled and agreed, “Why do I feel I have ridden someone’s coattails?”

Linda was happy, but Nola reminded her. Even though Linda and that boy had known each other for a long time, they hadn’t seen each other. Linda didn’t know what kind of person he was and should be more careful. It would be better to take care and think about the worst result.
“He won’t do that.”
“You haven’t met him. How do you know he won’t? You even don’t know what people around you are, let alone someone you have never met. In short, you must have a sense of self–protection, and don’t let him fool you. Otherwise, you will come and cry to me.”
“Okay, I got it.”
Of course, Linda knew that Nola was doing it for her own good. But Linda thought he would be too patient if he really wanted to lie to her. He didn’t even ask for her photo and name for so long. It was only by accident that they knew they were in the same city.
She found it unbelievable when she thought about it. Maybe they had met somewhere but didn’t know each other.
Linda couldn’t describe that feeling. She always felt it was destiny. Anyway, Linda was sure that she wanted to see him.
