Chapter 1442
Ian closed both the doors and replied, "Build on interest?"
He cocked his head and looked at Elaine.
"There isn't a permanent interest in this world."
She did not say anything.
He turned around to look at her and smiled.
"Do you want to stay back and help me to clean up the mess, Ms.Xavier?"
Elaine looked at the mess on the floor as well as the cups on the table that hadn’t been cleaned.She let out a chuckle suddenly and said, "I can’t believe that you're asking your customer to help you clean your shop, Mr.Saldana."
He returned to the front desk and replied, "You’re not my customer now, and I’m not the boss."
In other words, since his shop was closed, she was not his "customer" anymore.
Elaine then went forward and helped him clean the cups on the table.
Although there were maids in her house, washing a cup or something was not difficult for her.
She looked toward Ian, who was cleaning the sink, and asked, "Who were those two men? And did they just call you ‘Young Master Saldana’ just now?"
Ian was momentarily stunned, and something flashed across his eyes.
"I’m not a young master."
"Seems like you’re rather mysterious, Mr.Saldana."
"Are you interested in me?"
He looked at her.
She froze and chuckled.
"Nobody likes a mysterious person, including me."
"Really?"
I thought it was that kind of interest."
"What do you mean?"
She was baffled.
Ian smiled and replied, "Nothing."
After they finished cleaning up the mess, he turned off all the lamps except the ones on the wall.
Then, both of them came out of the coffee shop.
As she was walking, Elaine rubbed her wrist.
She did not expect that washing some cups and plates would b e so tiring.
Ian walked up to her side, keeping a rather comfortable distance from her, and said, "To express my gratitude, let me buy you a meal tomorrow."
She raised her head to look at him.
The neon light backlighted his face, and the outline went from blurred to clear to deeply defined.She was stunned for a moment before quickly averting her gaze.
"Tomorrow, huh?"
