Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 1694

Skyler wasn't one to turn down a free ride, but she wasn't heading back to campus just yet. She had a shift waiting for her at a nearby coffee shop in the bustling business district.

Time had slipped away from her, and now she was cutting it close to the start of her shift. With swift strides, she made her way to the café.

As a temp, she hadn't graduated to the art of coffee crafting just yet. Her role was more about waiting tables, keeping the place spotless, and handling all sorts of odd jobs.

What she didn't expect was to bump into Zavier again, so soon after their last encounter.b2

Zavier had set up a coffee meeting and, of all the joints in town, he chose the café where Skyler worked. If Skyler didn't know any better, she might have suspected Zavier of engineering these run-ins on purpose.

Even though Skyler never felt any shame in waitressing, she couldn't help but wonder if Zavier, with his air of nobility, would look down on her job. So, after delivering his coffee, she beat a hasty retreat.

She thought her cap and mask would render her unrecognizable, especially with Zavier deep in conversation. However, against all odds, Zavier's eyes locked onto hers and he called out, "Skyler!"

Pretending not to hear, she quickened her pace, but Zavier reached out, gripping her arm. "Playing the stranger now?"

Skyler glanced away, hoping they weren't the center of attention. "Sir, can I help you with something?"

Zavier raised an eyebrow, giving her a once-over. "Straight from my place to slinging coffee here. Don't you get tired, Skyler?"

"Tired, sure," she admitted.

It was tiring, indeed, but Skyler needed money. The thought of earning money to provide a better life for her sister made the fatigue seem insignificant.

"You're tired and yet you're working all these jobs?" Zavier probed.
