Carolina’s surprise, her date made the same request, he wanted to see Carolina’s photo or there was no meeting at all.
When Tess realized that she was losing a couple, she was sure they were made for each other, she made an exception, sending a photo of Mr. Marvellous to Carolina and a photo of Carolina to him. Hoping they would like each other and still want to go to the romantic dinner.
Finally, Carolina received Tess e-mail like she promised to send a single photo of Mr. Marvellous .
Opening her e-mail, she took a look at the photo and immediately recognized who Mr. Marvellous was, it is JP!
She was about having a cardiac arrest right there; she felt her heart wanting to stop and then accelerating, bewildered.
How could it be?! How could it be...JP?!
How could he be her match?
Still, in shock with the photograph she received, she didn’t know what to say to Tess. Carolina was trying to figure out how to sort all that mess, why JP and not any other man?
Oh gosh...what would he think of me? - Shuddering at the thought.
While she is trying to gain the strength to call Tess and talk with her about JP, she could only imagine what JP would be thinking of right now, because he had for certain received her photograph as well. Now that he knows that the woman behind the profile he liked is Carolina, he will not be happy.
Would he now be interested in me? She thought.
Deeply, she wished her hopes were renewed only for a mere moment.
She finally reached with her long fingers for the phone buttons and searches for Tess’ number:
"Tess it’s Carolina, I received your email with the photograph, I want to kindly thank you because you made an exception for me, but turns out I know him already. Turns out, we are not really best of friends I know already that I am not the type of woman he wants in life. However, I need to thank you once again for all the effort and all the work you have put into all of this, however, I'm not interested in going out on a date and having dinner with him. Don’t worry I’ve transferred the agreed amount for your services."
"Are you serious?!"
Tess could barely articulate one word she couldn’t believe what she heard. In the meantime, Carolina tried to sound as natural as possible on the phone:
"We met a while ago and we realized that we had nothing in common"
Tess continued:
"Bloody hell...I was convinced that you two were really made for each other. Well, I have to go, talk to you later"
Tess hung up.
Their damage under control, it was easy, hmm, too easy to convince a woman like Tess.
Carolina was already on her way home, ending another day of work when her phone rang again, she looked at the phone and saw Tess’ name:
"Hi, I just want to tell you that I just spoke with JP. He shares the same opinion as you, in fact, as you said, you didn’t want to have dinner with him and he isn’t interested as well."
Carolina had no strength for an open and honest conversation about JP right now, all she needs is to forget him once and for all, after a few seconds of silence she said:
“Can we talk later? I am in a middle of something” And hung up.
While she was fighting with her thoughts with what had just happened, she received a new text message:
"I can’t believe a matchmaker wants to match us :)"
She let her phone slip between her fingers after reading JP’s message and dropped on the ground.
She picked up the phone slowly making sure it was in one piece.
What does he want now?
Trying not to think about what had happened during the day, but not possible, every second she set her mind free, her already thoughts fled toward the recent events.
She was so disappointed and angry with him, she didn’t know what to answer or if she should answer him at all.
Speaking with him is not an option anymore because he doesn’t deserve a second of her attention any longer.
Carolina managed to hold on for five days without a reply to JP, finally, after her irritation calmed down
