The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1544

Belinda managed to force a smile as her voice dripped with sarcasm. "You're more than a little late, don't you think?"

The man rolled up his sleeve, revealing an expensive watch. "Oh no, it's already been over forty minutes. My apologies, Ms. Wesley; I didn't realize how quickly time had passed."

Belinda, who had come here with a shred of hope of meeting a decent blind date, was now thoroughly disillusioned. She was already figuring out an excuse to leave.

Before she could say anything, the man adjusted his thick glasses and grinned. "Regardless, we've now met. Let's not dwell on the less significant matters. I'm delighted to meet you, Ms. Wesley. Allow me to introduce myself."

This gentleman was forty minutes late, and he expected to just brush it off?

The man didn't wait for Belinda to respond and confidently began his self-introduction.

"My name is Dominic, 28 years old, a graduate student at M-Elite University, the top university in M State. I'm about 6 feet tall and weigh around 180 pounds. I don't smoke or drink, and I'm looking for a sophisticated woman from a family like yours to be my wife. And you, Ms. Wesley?"

Belinda eyed him skeptically. She hadn't been able to gauge his height when he arrived since she was already seated. But after looking at his chubby face, she could tell the 180 pounds part was accurate, if not an understatement.

"Hello, Mr. Dominic. My name is Belinda. I don't think it's necessary for me to introduce myself because I don't think we're compatible."
