Ice and Fire novel Chapter 856

At Starbucks Coffee.

Sally was the only customer inside. She actually booked the whole coffee shop so no other customers or staff would interrupt her this afternoon.

Meanwhile, Rebecca drove to the rendezvous on time. After she stopped her car outside the coffee shop, she put on her sunglasses that could cover half of her face. When she got out of the car, she glanced around. To her surprise, there was only a LaFerrari hybrid supercar in the nearby parking lot.

Rebecca was a little worried. 'Should I meet this woman? Who is she? Looks like she isn't just an ordinary person, ' she thought with so much hesitations.

Eventually, she decided to meet the mysterious woman. She took a deep breath before she held her fashionable handbag tightly and walked towards the coffee shop. Her four-inch stiletto was making a noise in her every brisk step.

As she entered the shop, she slowed down and paused. She looked around and finally landed her eyes on a woman in a camel duster coat. Even though the woman was far from her, she could clearly see her face. There was no one else inside the coffee shop except for that woman who looked very graceful in Rebecca's eyes. 'Is she the one I'm going to meet?' she wondered.

"Miss Rebecca, you are very on time," Sally greeted her with a smile. She then motioned her to sit down, and invited, "Have a seat, please."

When Rebecca heard Sally's words, she became certain that this woman was the one she was going to meet. 'It's her, ' she thought.

Rebecca made her way to Sally and sat across from her.

"Hello, you may call me Ms. He," Sally introduced herself. She thought that there was no need to tell Rebecca more about her.

"So what is it?" Rebecca directly asked. "What happened to Lawrence?" She didn't intend to waste her time on a stranger. 'What if she has some evil intentions?' she wondered.

"Take your time," Sally answered casually. She picked up her cup and took a sip of coffee. "Please have some coffee first. I let them prepare a Blue Mountain coffee for you. I hope you will like it," she offered.

"How did you know that I like Blue Mountain coffee?" Rebecca asked curiously without taking her gaze away from Sally. However, Sally just ignored her question.

Instead, she said, "I know that your mother is sick right now."

Rebecca was going to take a sip of coffee. But when she heard it, her hand held the coffee cup froze.

With a confounded look on her face, she asked, "Who in the world are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am," Sally replied nonchalantly, "Let me just tell what I know about you."

Rebecca stared into Sally's eyes wordlessly.

"You and Lawrence were classmates before. Then you swindled money from him. You used all the resources and connections available so you could be where you are right now. Am I right?" Sally narrated. She simply concluded Rebecca's life in the past.
