"What are you laughing at?" Savannah was even more nervous at his smile.
"I'm amused by your nervous look," Andrew shook his head with a smile. "You look at me as if you're looking at a beast, a wild beast that has been hungry for a long time."
"Sorry, I'm just..." Savannah blushed.
"You're afraid I have an attempt on you, or I will even tell you that I love you now, right?" Andrew took her place and said.
Savannah's face was burning, and she said nothing.
"Don't worry, I invite you to dinner for a purpose, but definitely not because I have an attempt on you. I've heard something about you and the young master of the Sterling family. I won't covet people or things from others." Andrew shrugged his shoulders in a breezy way.
In fact, he didn't know in advance when their families arranged a blind date between them, and he was also reluctant.
So, he didn't think much when Savannah said at the time that she was not ready for a relationship, and he was also relieved.
Savannah felt a little embarrassed.
"You made the dinner, so grand, which I feel was more than I was entitled to…so I misunderstood you," she said. "I'm sorry..."
Andrew leaned forward on the table, his taper fingers interlaced, and his dazzling eyes are sparkling like stars.
"Oh? Is this grand? I think this is just a standard meal for the future successor of the Morton group. I can't treat you to a food stall, can I? And, as I said, I invite you here for a purpose. As for clearing up the place, actually, I just don't want others to hear us, so we can talk freely in a quiet environment."
"What did you want to see me about?" She wondered.
"You have a friend whose name is Elisa Romano, right?" Andrew's expression changed to seriousness.
"You mean Elisa? Yeah…" Savannah nodded in surprise. "How did you know Elisa? You see me about Elisa? What do you want me to do for you?"
Andrew leaned forward and explained slowly.

The night deepened.
In the luxurious and refined CEO suite, Dylan was sitting on the leather sofa with a clouded face.
After listening to the report from Garwood, he didn't say anything for a long time.
"The bodyguard didn't make a mistake, did he?" He asked grimly.
"Yes... He said he saw Miss Schultz get into Andrew Caffrey's car, and they went to a high-end restaurant for dinner downtown. It looks like Caffrey booked the whole restaurant in advance..." Garwood, sensing the murderous intention from his boss, added carefully, "Oh yes, Caffrey was once on a blind date with Miss Schultz in the days when she returned to Chicago. But of course, they are not with each other."
Dylan's face grew more somber. His fingers curled up and pinched faintly.
He asked the little woman out to dinner, but she refused, full of excuses.
Her blind date came to Milan, and as soon as he invited her, she agreed!

Savannah had not come back yet.
Elisa looked at the time. It was almost eleven o 'clock.
Maybe Savannah had a good time with her date and decided to give him a chance for further development?
If so, she would be sorry for Mr. Sterling! After all, she had encouraged Savannah to go to dinner with that man!
Just then, Elisa's cell phone rang.
"Elisa," Savannah's voice came.
"Savannah, haven't you finished your dinner yet? When will you be back? That man didn't do anything unhappy to you, did he?" Elisa asked with concern.
"Um, nothing. I'm fine. Andrew's not a bad guy. Here we are at the school gate. Can you come out to pick me up? It's so dark that I'm a little scared to go to school alone. It's not convenient for Andrew to come in."
Andrew? Her tone was true, affectionate.
Elisa didn't think much. She said okay, hung up, and went out.
When she got to the school gate, she saw a gorgeous sports car parking not far away. Savannah was standing at the side of the car, and standing next to her was a tall man. He should be Andrew, Savannah's blind date.
The two were standing very close to each other. Their shadows, silhouetted by the light from the full moon and the street lamp, intertwined each other in a very intimate way.
Elisa went over and was about to call Savannah's name when her eyes fell on the man.
She gasped as she observed his sharp jaw, chin, and cheekbones. On either side of his straight nose were two blazing hazel eyes. His thin lips always twisted into a half-smile.
Andrew Caffrey was him?
It was impossible! How could it be so coincidental?
For a moment she couldn't believe what she saw. Her ears were buzzing, and her heart was beating.
She approached them and looked carefully.
It was him.
She could never forget his appearance.
He was the man she had met only once but laid to her heart. He was the man she loved at first sight and had never forgotten.
Was he Savannah's date?
Elisa stared at him.
Under the pale yellow street lamp, Andrew leaned over and spoke to Savannah with a smile. Elisa couldn't hear anything, but his smile was so gentle.
It was the way he looked at someone he liked, right?
She even saw him tuck one of the escaped tendrils of Savannah's hair behind her ear. The tenderness of his manner made Elisa's heart beat even harder, and the shock left her with an unspeakable bitter taste.
She didn't expect him to become her good friend's suitor when she saw him again.
Although Savannah said that he was just her blind date arranged by their families, and they met only once…
He must like Savannah very much, otherwise, he would not have come to meet her and invited her to dinner as soon as he came to Italy.
And no man wouldn't be attracted to a girl like Savannah, who was so beautiful, optimistic, positive, and sunny.
Elisa was suddenly depressed.
"Elisa!" Just then, Savannah noticed Elisa and waved to her.
