Yelena bit her lips and did her best to turn away with her hair down to prevent Nicholas from seeing her
face.
“No need,” she answered. “I’ll consider myself unlucky today to have run into two losers!”
“What did you say?” Once Linda raised her voice, Yelena shrunk into herself right away.
As she walked out, staying close to the wall, she growled, “Cordelia, just you wait! Watch your pathetic
shop every day if you can, or I’ll crash it one day!”
Linda was going to dash forward, but Cordelia clutched her hand.
“Forget it.” Nicholas picked up a fallen chair to sit down and picked on his sleeves leisurely. He looked

Nicholas’ expression grew grimmer, and the cafe felt as if it was sucked into a vacuum. It was
distressingly quiet.
“Uh… Why don’t you two have a seat?” Cordelia’s voice was low. “I’ll make you coffee…”
“No need!” Both of them replied in unison.
