Chapter 199 Arranging a Blind Date
"How is Mr. Blake doing?"
Seeing me ask about this, Kenneth's smile faded as he said, "Dad's been in much better spirits since hearing that Quincy could come back to work at the company. When his mood improved, naturally his health got better too."
"That's good to hear." I nodded with a grin. "When Mr. Blake gets discharged and comes back to the company, he'll see that Quincy's doing great work. That'll make him even happier."
Hearing my words, Kenneth laughed along, "You know what, Dad would totally be like that."
At this point, Zachary suddenly came to mind. After thinking for a moment, I said, "Kenneth, I've noticed you've been single all these years. Haven't you thought about finding a girlfriend?"
Kenneth shook his head and took off his glasses to wipe them, "I used to throw myself completely into work. Now with Quincy here, I've finally been able to lift half the burden off my shoulders. I'm thinking once Quincy fully takes over and I truly leave the company to do what I love, it won't be too late to find a girlfriend then."
"That's really been hard on you."
Then I casually brought up Quincy. "What about Quincy? I don't think I've ever heard her mention what kind of guys she likes. Aren't you worried, Kenneth, that she might get tricked by some sketchy person?"
"No way!"
Kenneth immediately denied it, "Quincy wouldn't be easily fooled by anyone."
"Well, you never know. Look at some guys these days—they deliberately package themselves as perfect just to climb the social ladder, then show their true colors once they're married."
Hearing this, Kenneth got a bit nervous, "Helena, tell me the truth - does Quincy already have someone she likes, but you don't approve of him?"
Kenneth was really too sharp. I'd only mentioned it casually, and he'd already guessed right.
I quickly denied it, "No, Kenneth, don't overthink it."
"Really nothing?"
Kenneth clearly wasn't that easy to convince. I hurried to assure him, "Yes, really nothing. I was just giving an example."
"That's good then." Kenneth finally relaxed, but soon he frowned again, "Though what you said is actually a real issue. Quincy does need to find a stable boyfriend."
"Exactly."
Speaking of this, we had so much common ground. I quickly leaned in. "Why don't we quietly arrange some blind dates for Quincy now, so she can settle down sooner."
"You're right."
Kenneth was someone with strong execution skills, and he was already thinking of a plan. "I'll arrange for these people to meet her under the guise of business discussions or as potential partners - basically without letting her catch on. Then I'll introduce them, and afterward we can find out what Quincy thinks of them."
"Good, but one thing - we absolutely cannot let her catch on."
Zachary had left such a deep impression on me from my past life. I was really afraid that if we pushed too hard, it might backfire and push Quincy toward Zachary instead.
No, I needed to quickly find Zachary a girlfriend too. Once he had a woman, he definitely wouldn't appear in front of Quincy anymore.
Thinking of this, I said with a smile, "I'll leave this matter to you then. If you need my help with anything, just say the word."
"Okay."
After Kenneth agreed, he sighed, "It's really lucky that Quincy has you as a friend. Otherwise, I don't know what would happen to her. I know you put in a lot of effort to help her smoothly join the company this time. Really, Helena, our whole family is extremely grateful to you."
"It's nothing. Compared to that, Quincy has done a lot for me too."
I thought of all the events from my past life, my emotions complex. In my past life, Quincy had saved me from dire straits. In this life, it was my turn to save her. In this life, I would never let that scumbag Zachary get close to Quincy.
If fate truly couldn't be changed, then I'd destroy Zachary!
Seeing me fall silent, Kenneth thought I'd remembered something sad and quickly interrupted, "After Quincy finishes work, let's all go out to eat together. I'll call a few friends to introduce to her."
I loosened my clenched fist and looked at Kenneth, saying sincerely, "Thank you, Kenneth. Everything you're doing for Quincy - one day she'll understand and be grateful."
Kenneth shook his head, "I haven't really thought about whether she'll be grateful or not. As long as she can accept Mom and me, and our family can live peacefully together, that's enough."
"It will definitely happen."
I smiled in agreement. In this life, the bad people would get what they deserved, and we would all be fine.
Soon it was time to get off work. When I returned to Quincy's office again, she was on the phone arranging matters regarding coordination with Titan Global Enterprises.
Seeing me, she waved her hand to signal me to sit down while she continued to remotely direct things over the phone.
Watching her strategize so capably, I really felt happy for her.
The call finally ended, and Quincy stretched tiredly, "I'm exhausted. Let's go - where should we eat?"
I said, "I don't know either, but Kenneth said he'd arrange it."
"Him?"
Quincy looked disdainful, "Why does he need to arrange anything when I'm treating you to dinner? Really!"
"No way, I'm going myself. I don't want him arranging it."
As Quincy spoke, she was about to drag me away. I remembered what Kenneth had just said about arranging blind dates and suddenly panicked. Just as I was racking my brain trying to figure out how to stop Quincy, Kenneth appeared.
Seeing him, I felt like I was seeing a lifeline and frantically waved at him.
Seeing my signal, Kenneth quickly walked over, "Quincy, I know you want to have dinner with Helena, but you have to let me arrange this meal."
"Kenneth, aren't you being a bit too controlling?"
Quincy put her hands on her hips and looked at Kenneth, "What does it have to do with you if Helena and I go eat? Why do you need to get involved?"
"No, I happen to have some business partners, and you know Helena's company urgently needs orders because of the Pemberton family debt situation. So I thought I'd take this dinner opportunity to introduce Helena to some potential partners."
Hearing this, Quincy paused. She lowered her hands and looked at me, "Really? Helena, I'm sorry - I should have thought about your company's situation earlier. That's my fault."
"Enough."
I stopped Quincy from apologizing, "Kenneth is just making introductions, thinking since we're all young people, we could get to know each other first. If they really have any needs, they might think of me."
"Right, right."
Now Quincy wasn't chasing Kenneth away anymore. Instead, she urged repeatedly, "Hurry up, have you arranged everything?"
"And where did you book the restaurant? I won't accept just any ordinary place."
Her words made Kenneth shake his head repeatedly, his face showing an indulgent smile, "Don't worry, I booked the best restaurant. After all, you two ladies will be attending - I wouldn't dare be careless."
"That's more like it."
Quincy linked her arm with mine and proudly ordered Kenneth, "Lead the way then."
