Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 138

“No problem. I’ll start looking for a successor right away.”

Having gotten what he wanted, Felix was full of ambition.

With Owen joining the new company, a huge weight was inexplicably lifted from Mira’s shoulders.

Although she didn't fully know the extent of his abilities, her intuition told her he was very capable.

That evening, when Mira returned home, Elara was waiting for her.

She had come to help clean Mira’s house and was also waiting for her to get back so they could grab some street tacos.

She still hadn't found a chance to treat Mira to the meal she had promised.

“Alright, alright, let’s go eat now.”

Elara was nothing if not genuine.

For the first time, Mira found it amusingly stressful to have someone feel so indebted to her.

Not far from Emberline Fine Dining was a night market. People browsing the stalls often came here to eat when they got hungry.

Each stall had a few tables and stools set up under a simple canopy.

You could eat while watching the lively market scene and hearing the calls of the vendors.

It was cheap, unpretentious, and the food was delicious.

The two girls sat down at a stall selling savory crepes.

“What can I get for you two? We have pan-fried potstickers and savory crepes. We also have porridge, soy milk, and egg drop soup.”

“Elara, I’ll just have two savory crepes and a bowl of porridge.”

“We’ll take four savory crepes and two bowls of porridge,” Elara called out to the vendor.

“You got it! Be right with you.”

Before long, the vendor brought their food. The crepes were fried to a golden, crispy perfection, with two leaves of green lettuce tucked inside. They looked appetizing.

Without another word, they each picked one up and began to eat.

“Mira, no wonder you wanted to eat this. It’s delicious! I have to bring my dad here to try it next time.”

So Elara had never had a savory crepe before?

Mira had actually chosen this place to save Elara money. It was tasty and inexpensive; a few dollars per person was more than enough.
