“Arielle? Isn’t she the genius with four full marks?”
“Correct! Go try out her ravioli. Maybe you’ll get some luck for your exam.”
“You should have told us earlier! Let’s go now.” Those students put down Wendy’s cookie and got ready to leave.
Wendy immediately grabbed the hand of one of them. “What’s so good with ravioli? The weather today is too hot to have that. Why don’t you try out my dessert, along with an iced Americano…”
“No, thank you. Your stuff is too expensive. I will just go to the coffee shop if I want coffee.” The student got rid of Wendy’s grip while turning to her friend. “Let’s go grab the ravioli now. Who knows, we might pass the exam of Maxwell University tonight!”
“Yes! Let’s hurry!”
With that, Wendy lost the two customers instantly.
What was killing her the most was the fact that they abandoned her stall for Arielle’s stall.
Wendy’s expression darkened immediately.
She turned to Cecilia wrathfully. “Mom, look at them!”
Cecilia was also beyond exasperated. “I felt strange why we were losing customers all of a sudden. It looks like that b*tch has snatched away all the customers! What a scheming lady!”
Staring at her cookies, Wendy started to panic. “So what’re we going to do now? Do we just let her take away all the customers?”
“Fret not.” Cecilia comforted Wendy. “You’ve heard them just now. They went after Arielle for good luck. I doubt if the ravioli tastes that good. They will mostly buy one portion each. After the heat passes, the customers will be back. Please have some faith in my cooking. I am sure many people will come back to our stall later.”
Wendy nodded, but there was a sense of uneasiness in her heart.
