Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

Theresa’s voice suddenly became listless.

“Don’t even mention it. My mom, in an effort to force me into matchmaking, has stopped eating. In defiance, I stopped eating too. Now, both of us haven’t eaten for two days.”

Susan was taken aback. “You can’t go on like this, right?”

Theresa sounded a bit gloomy. “How was I to know my mom could endure so much! My body is strong, I can hold out. But she’s of an age, why is she so stubborn? Forget it, the more I talk, the sadder I get. I give up, alright? I’ll go check on my mom.”

“Okay, hurry,” Susan urged quickly.

Theresa left, and about ten minutes later, she returned with a howl.

“What happened?” Susan jumped.

Theresa, almost in tears, said, “I went to my mom’s room and saw her curled up in bed, looking very uncomfortable. I felt sorry for her and agreed to the matchmaking.”

Susan nodded, “It’s best to calm the elder first.”

But then Theresa’s voice rose dramatically. “The problem is, after I agreed, ‘my mom excitedly jumped out of bed! And accidentally, she also shook out the bread she had hidden under the blanket!”

Susan was speechless.

Theresa was on the verge of tears.

“I literally starved for two days! But my mom? Her face looks even rounder than before! Susan, my life is so hard.”

Theresa seemed genuinely miserable.

Susan, though, couldn’t help but want to laugh.

She tried to hold it back but eventually burst into laughter.

at

Theresa, defeated, said in a tone of utter despair, “Go ahead and laugh. I’m going to eat a full meal now, and then, I’ll go for the matchmaking tomorrow.”

“Go for it,” Susan said with a smile.

“Walt, Susan,” Theresa suddenly thought of something, her eyes lighting up. “Are you free tomorrow?”

Susan was taken aback, “I happen to be off tomorrow.”

“How about you join me for the matchmaking?” Theresa proposed.

Susan was puzzled, “You mean, join you in meeting Thomas? Wouldn’t that be impolite?”

Theresa scoffed, “Forget about politeness. You don’t know, the first time I met Thomas for matchmaking, he brought along Monica. Monica was so snide and unpleasant. I thought she was just putting on an act and didn’t make a big deal out of it. But later, I realized that’s just how she is, and it

started to annoy me. If Thomas can pull a stunt like that, why can’t we? Susan, you’ve got to help me this time.”

“How can I help?” Susan asked, slightly embarrassed, “Plus, Thomas knows you as Rose, not Theresa.”

“It’s simple. we’ll cook up a story, find some reason to know each other. All you need to do is sit there, join us for a meal, and prevent any awkwardness.”

Susan thought for a moment. It seemed harmless enough, so she agreed.

The next day.

Susan dressed casually, donning a hat and sunglasses, and set out.

She arrived.

the restaurant on time.

Upon entering, she looked around.

“Susan, over here,” Theresa waved from a table.

Susan hurried over.

Thomas was already seated there.

But surprisingly, he had brought another man with him.

What was going on here?

Susan was momentarily stunned.

Disguised, Susan wasn’t immediately recognized by Thomas.

Theresa sat opposite Thomas.

Susan hesitated for a moment, then sat opposite another man at the table.

Once everyone was seated, Thomas quickly introduced the newcomer. “Let me introduce you all. This is my college mate from medical school, Allen. I’m planning to open a private hospital and have invited him to work with

me.”

Allen, a man from Ethopia, had black hair and black eyes.

He stared at Susan intently and said

first sight.”

olly What’s your name, beautiful lady? I think I’ve fallen for you at

Thomas, Susan, and Theresa were all taken aback.

Susan looked particularly displeased. She glanced at Theresa as if to say, “I thought we were just here for a meal?”

Theresa was also visibly annoyed.

“Mr. Smith,” Theresa’s voice turned icy. “Last time you brought a woman to mock me, and now you’ve brought a man to harass my friend. What exactly are you trying to do?”

Thomas was about to say something when Allen interjected passionately, “It’s not harassment. How can you call it that? The moment I saw her, it felt like an arrow struck my heart. That’s love! Ari uncontrollable feeling, the most beautiful thing in the world. How can you taint it by calling it harassment?”

Thomas glared at Allen and hastily explained, “Miss Austin, it’s not what you think. Personally, I’m not interested in a relationship right now, but my mother has been pressuring me, so I reluctantly agreed to this meeting. However, I didn’t want to waste your time, so I brought a companion to potentially set you two up.

“Allen, Miss Austin here is the one I wanted to introduce to you,” Thomas added.

Allen glanced at Theresa and quickly averted his gaze, saying, “I find myself more attracted to the other lady.”

He looked at Susan, his eyes revealing his intense feelings.

Theresa’s face darkened completely.

This Thomas, what a straightforward man!

forced to

He was forced to do so.

It seemed that she was not forced.

He even found someone to set up for them. What did he think she was?

If she’s the one desperate for marriage?

Exasperated, Theresa firmly decides to leave and pulls Susan along, saying, “Susan, let’s go.”

Susan cooperatively stands up.

“Hold on, miss, you haven’t told me your name yet, Allen pleaded, his gaze fixed on Susan. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Thomas, bewildered, began to feel panicked.

As Susan slowly removed her sunglasses and smiled faintly, she said, “Who I am should be told by you to this gentleman.”

Then she and Theresa, hand in hand, walked away.

Thomas was taken aback.

He was going crazy.

No, he was going to die.

He thought, “How can Theresa’s companion be Susan?”

The realization that the person he brought had openly expressed interest in Susan, and if Ben found out about

this…

His thoughts about their promised investment sent shivers down his spine.

In a desperate attempt to rectify the situation, Thomas hurried after them, calling out, “Sister–in–law, sister–in–law,

wait!”

Allen, confused, followed and grabbed Thomas’s hand. “Thomas, why are you running? Do you know that beautiful

lady? Sister–in–law? Is her name Sister–in–law?”

“Let go of me, you…” Thomas struggled to chase after Susan and Theresa, but Allen held onto him tightly.

Watching Susan and Theresa walking away, Thomas turned to Allen with a look of utter despair, “You’ve ruined

me.”

Allen appeared somewhat confused, but then he quickly dismissed it and asked expectantly, “You still haven’t told me, is that lady’s name really ‘Sister–in–law‘?”

Thomas‘ face was filled with despair.
