She had a smug look on her face, as if she had some big news to announce.
"Mandy, you know?" She couldn't wait to speak as soon as she sat down.
I raised an eyebrow, "Know what?"
She lowered her voice in a mysterious manner, "I have a big plan that I want to discuss with you."
I smiled and said, "Tell me about it."
"It's like this. My husband has a brother named Toby, who is mature, steady, and successful in his career," she paused and continued, "I think you two are a good match. How about I introduce you to each other?"
"It sounds good, but..." I took a sip of the wine.
I deliberately dragged out my voice, "I don't want to be accused of climbing the social ladder."
She was anxious, "How can this be considered climbing the social ladder? Toby is sincere and he has a good impression of you."
Looking at her anxious expression, I couldn't help but feel a little amused. "Good impression of me? He hasn't even met me. How could he already have a crush on me?"
Linda was a little embarrassed. "Well...well, who can say for sure about love matters?"
"Linda, I know you mean well, but I don't like being arranged. It's better to let things take their natural course when it comes to relationships."
