At The Quantum Capital Building.
"Achooo..."
Suddenly, Bella sneezed the moment she entered her office lobby.
"Did you catch a cold?" Leo, who was waiting for her, was surprised by her sneeze.
Bella slightly shook her head. "No. I’m healthy... But, I guess someone gossiped about me." She smiled when she saw Leo chuckle.
"How could you believe something like that?"
"Geez... Looks like working too much, enough to make your humor leave you," Bella said as she walked away from the executive elevator.
"Bella, did you forget the elevator? Why are you walking in that direction?" Leo asked, confused. But he still hurried to match her step.
"I need coffee, alright!" Bella glanced at him as she headed to the famous franchise coffee shop in the corner, Moon Coffee.
She felt blessed; there was a coffee shop in this building. She thanked whoever let this Moon coffee open in their building.
"Oh my, you haven’t changed? Are you still addicted to coffee?" Leo was surprised. He shook his head while following her to queue at the cashier to order their coffee.
Before nine in the morning, Moon Coffee was surprisingly bustling, with a few customers occupying almost all ten tables.
There were two people in front of them, buying coffee. They waited while chatting.
"It’s better to be addicted to coffee than addicted to alcohol, right?" Bella answered casually as she looked at her cell phone to check something important that she could read.
However, her mood dropped slightly when she saw a series of texts from someone in New York.
"Yeah, I agree with you!" Leo responded with a light chuckle.
Bella ignored him; she was immersed in reading a series of texts sent by Jack.
After a few more seconds, she looked up to see Leo, "Tsk... Tsk... I can’t believe your ex-boss is spamming me with his text messages," she showed Leo her phone screen.
Leo only needed to read a few texts and laughed, "Hahaha, he’s so afraid you won’t come today. Well... actually... He’s the one who wakes me up in the morning. He calls me and makes sure to remind you."
"What the hell does he want? Why does he insist on me taking care of this..." Before Bella could finish her words, someone made a noise from behind, attracting their attention.
They turned to look back and saw a stout, towering man with a black oversized suit trying to break through the queue.
"Excuse me, gentlemen, I need to order coffee quickly. Please, can you give me the priority?" He said with a kind tone, but his sharp, demanding gaze made everyone look at him with a get-lost kind of look.
The stout, towering man stepped forward once more, repeating his plea.
This time, a middle-aged, short-haired woman retorted sharply, "Do you think you’re the only one in a hurry? Can’t you see it’s almost nine in the morning? We’re all in a rush, dear. Get lost!" The elegant lady dismissed him with a wave of her hand, ignoring his presence entirely.
Grinding his teeth in frustration, he refrained from further confrontation, wary of offending her again. He noted the woman’s branded clothing, indicating her potential high status.
Nevertheless, he persisted. He urgently needed to purchase coffee before facing Laura’s wrath. Thus, he continued to move forward for someone willing to give him their spot.
