In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 1815

Chapter 1815 The Note

I didn’t really know how to explain the situation, so I handed the phone back to Emery instead. After that, I said, “It’s a long story, but I’ll need to return all the items we bought earlier.”

“There’s no need to be in such a hurry. Shopping is supposed to be a relaxing event, and if we rush over like that, the entire experience won’t be relaxing,” replied Emery. Her words were calm and philosophical, and she looked graceful when she sipped some coffee.

The way she acted made it impossible for the burning rage inside me to survive. In a way, I had no choice but to follow her suit and enjoyed the exquisite coffee.

Just then, a couple of rich men’s wives entered the cafe. One of the more observant wives saw Emery and me sitting at our table, which was out in the open. The observant wife came over to say, “Hi, Ms. Moore and Mrs… Ah, sorry, I mean, Ms. Stovall. What a coincidence. Do you both like this cafe as well?”

Emery was practically a professional when it came to small talks. She grinned and replied, “Yeah, this place is quite nice, and the environment is great.”

One of the cafe’s main attractions was its serene environment and silent ambiance.

Most could tell that Emery had no intention of sharing the table with anyone.

Unfortunately, the woman who greeted us was socially blind. She walked to the seat beside Emery and sat right down. To make matters worse, the former showed no hesitance when she said, “Please move further in, Ms. Moore. We have too many people here.”

Emery’s expression took a sharp change, and she looked infuriated. Still, she was forced into the innermost part and couldn’t even stretch her legs.

I suffered the same fate as she did.

With ladies squeezing in from both sides, it was impossible for me to even catch a breath. Emery and I turned to one another, and I imagined I looked just as hopeless as she did at that moment.

We were signaling to each other and were about to sneak away when someone gently nudged my right foot.

I instinctively shifted my gaze over and realized that the woman sitting on my right had put her hand over. She had a note with her at the time. The second she realized that she had gotten my attention, she dropped the note onto my skirt.

While all that was playing out under the table, the mysterious woman leaned in as though everything was fine. She acted like she had been paying close attention to the gossip shared.

I didn’t bother analyzing anything and was quick to hold that note in my palm. After that, I stood up and shouted, “Enough! Goodness, you people are noisy. Move aside, I’m leaving.”
