Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me novel Chapter 83

“I’ll be busy, so I won’t be joining you.” With that, Myra gave Estelle a wink before turning to leave.

On the other hand, Estelle gaped at her as she left, so much so that her eyes almost popped out of their sockets. No longer able to suppress her anger, she let out a howl. “Myra Stark, you rascal! What did Shawn promise you? Let go of me, you b*stard! I’ll break both of your legs if you dare touch me—Um—” Her voice was muffled out, and things soon heated up.

Myra paused before smiling out of relief. It’s time someone teach her a lesson. From what she could see, Shawn’s feelings toward Estelle were genuine, so she was certain Shawn would treasure Estelle.

Myra arrived at the cafeteria on time, but Lyla was nowhere to be found. She wasn’t in a hurry, so she ordered a glass of lemonade after taking a seat. After some thought, she ordered another glass. While sipping on her drink, she glanced at the bustling street view outside. The sun had set rather early. As darkness descended, the street lights lit up one by one, giving the city a warm glow.

“It has been a while since we last saw each other. You are as punctual as ever, Miss Stark.”

A familiar lilt came from behind her, but her countenance shifted at the sound of such a pleasant voice. Cafeterias were designed to be more enclosed, so Myra’s table was blocked from view by a thick bamboo growth. When she turned around, she saw Lyla pushing the bamboo aside, from which her slim figure emerged.

Lyla observed Myra, who quickly schooled her expression, with a smile on her dainty lips. Then, she took off her sunglasses slowly, placing them on the table in front of her. “Does this place look familiar to you?”

The pianist in the cafeteria had just finished a splendid performance of ‘Für Elise,’ which was followed by a sparse applause. However, the two of them seemed to be isolated in their own world, the tense atmosphere between them setting them apart from the crowd.

Myra held a sophisticated glance. She knew what Lyla meant. Back when Eve forced Lyla to leave the city, Myra asked to meet her in the exact same cafeteria. Two years later, it was still in business. Back then, the atmosphere between them was even more awkward. But on second thought, Myra recognized that it might very well just be a matter of perspective. Not wanting to waste time beating around the bush, she cut to the chase. “Didn’t you tell me you would like to talk about what happened to Sean’s baby that you carried?”

Although Myra tried her best to hide her feelings of unease, Lyla could read her like an open book. With a smile on her face, Lyla asked, “Why the rush? I have plenty of time to tell you the full story.”

Lyla let out a chuckle while staring at Myra with an ever broadening smile. It had only been two years, and despite the fact that they had returned to the same place, both of them had opposite mentalities compared to how they used to think back then.

“Myra, I have to say, you’re even more useless than I thought.” Lyla gave her a once-over before letting out a chuckle. “You’re as disgusting as ever. You didn’t even manage to win Sean over.”

There was a drastic shift in Myra’s countenance when she shot up from her seat abruptly.
