Chapter 3. Got the Answer

Jordan's three friends burst out laughing together. Meanwhile, Jordan glared at them.

"That's why you shouldn't lose. Okay? We can't wait to take your cool car for a ride, even out of Sydney. Who knows I might want to take a vacation to Brisbane.” Warren raised his eyebrow at Jordan.

"Okay. I accept it. If I win, what will you guys give me as a reward?” Jordan's turn to challenge his three friends.

He knew they couldn't possibly give you anything big. Of them, Jordan was the one with the deepest pockets. Ronald and Warren were businessmen too, but their parents' business wasn't as big as the Hayden's. While Louie, his father was a deputy director at a subsidiary of the Jordan family.

“Hm, you want to frame us?” With a sharper gaze, Warren leaned forward, closer to Jordan.

“This is not a trivial matter. Married, huh? It deals with my pride!” Jordan insisted.

"Okay. We'll think about it. Tomorrow night, we meet again, and we lock our deal. I already miss touching Laura." Ronald stood up. By his side was waiting for a beautiful woman in a hot red dress. Laura's hand began to touch Ronald's muscular arm.

"Yep, agreed. I'm going to the floor first, looking for something fresh tonight. Wanna come along, Joy, Louie?” Warren also stood up, taking his two friends who were still sitting in his place.

Louie followed Warren's footsteps, while Jordan took another gulp of his drink. From behind, a woman who was only wearing a cloth just clinging to her body approached Jordan. He immediately embraced Jordan and landed a passionate kiss.

"Don’t you want me tonight?" The woman's voice was made in such a way as to throw charm on Jordan.

Without speaking, Jordan stood up and took her by the hand, leaving the frenetic room. Jordan led the woman to the apartment where she lived, preparing to spend the long night there.

Jordan smiled widely. He knew for sure he would win the bet with his friends. He began to believe that he could find a woman and be married within three months. Who would have thought, two waitresses at the club were talking about signing up for the reality show At the First Time I Meet You? When he heard it, Jordan immediately found the easiest way to get a woman who could be his wife. Jordan got the answer!

All night, Jordan just kept that information in his head, because he was busy playing hot with the woman, he brought home. This morning, sitting on the balcony, looking out to sea, looking at the beautiful big building, the icon of Sydney, Jordan browsed the web for more information about the event.

"Okay, I signed myself up. They ask for data, let's fill it in. I'm ready for action." Jordan's hand began to type, answering any requested data.

There were some details Jordan felt he couldn't open up to other people, especially about family. Jordan racked his brain, looking for answers so that the experts on the show would be interested in him and would find the perfect match for him.

"Great, Jordan. You are a man who craves love from a sincere woman. You are a lonely man because you are too busy working and want a partner who cares about you and understands your busy life and situation. Then…” Jordan went on to jot down the reasons why he was on the show and deserved to be selected.

"Honey, are you awake? Have you been busy this morning?” Jordan's woman was suddenly behind him and wrapped her arms around Jordan's neck.

“You can go, Ellen. Just check your account later." Jordan was unmoved, he was focused on what was in his hands.

"Ah, I thought the cold morning would excite you." Ellen kissed Jordan's cheek, still trying to seduce him.

"I don't need to repeat my words, Ellen." Jordan didn't budge. He wanted Ellen to leave immediately.

"Okay. If you need me tonight, I'm at the club from seven o'clock." Ellen let go of Jordan, turning back into the room.

Jordan reread all the data he wrote down. He screenshots for his own notes. He had to memorize the role that time. Poor Jordan Gerald Hayden needed a touch of love. Smiling to himself, Jordan was sure of what he wrote there, he clicked. It was sent already.

He just needed to wait for an answer. If he was accepted, then there were direct interviews with experts to ensure Jordan would be the right partner with whom. In Jordan's image, there was a woman with red hair, beautiful waves, tall, sexy, and charming thin lips. If only such a woman would appear on the first day of the meeting, at the altar.

“Oh, God… why did I imagine myself getting married?” Jordan grinned, feeling funny to himself. It was just a bet. He didn't know if he deserved enough, though Jordan was pretty confident.

There was a subtle swish in his heart at the thought of the wedding day. Jordan didn't understand why, even though for him, marriage was the last choice in a row of many things he could do. Jordan entered his empty room. He jumped onto the bed and continued dreaming.

Clarabelle's heart was still pounding, even though she had read the news from the At the First Time I Meet You team several times. She became one of the shortlisted and would soon follow the interview to enter the next stage. Clarabelle's plans to sign up for the show to get a husband are getting more open. One more step, then she would find a life partner and fulfill his father's wish.

“Hufffhh… why do I feel uneasy?” Clarabelle closed her eyes, calming her breath so that she wouldn't go crazy like that. “What will they ask later? If I'm really chosen, what kind of man will they bring to me?”

Some of the shows she had watched on the reality show began to appear in Clarabelle's memory. The questions that might be asked of him were flying through her mind. Then what kind of man she wanted, they might also ask Clarabelle to explain.

“Ah, I hope this is really the right move. I have to talk to Papa before I answer the interview call." Clarabelle was still trying to calm herself down. Haven't met the love experts yet, Clarabelle was so restless. There was also a sense of joy because if she really made it to the next round, her father's greatest wish would soon come true.

“Oh my God, how do I talk to Papa? There's no way I'll just keep quiet, then come home with a husband. Papa must come to the event, bless me." Another anxiety was then approaching. If she talked to Adriano about this marriage, would his blessing be given to Clarabelle?

Finally, Clarabelle decided to hold off talking to her father until she had finished doing the interview. It turned out that when she spoke to the experts, Clarabelle actually felt confident in her choice to participate in the reality show. She felt that the way to get the best partner by participating in the event was the right step.

And Clarabelle had to be prepared for her father's answer when she said he followed At the First Time I Meet You, and the love experts decided she would be one of the other seven chosen couples.

"What, Lala? Are you on the show?” Adrian was very surprised. His eyes widened, and his hand quickly grabbed Clarabelle's arm.
