I must admit that she had a point, and for a moment, I could not refute it.
The girl who came with Caleb seemed to have other things to do and left. Cassey's eyes became even brighter. She grabbed my arm and said, "Let's go and share a table with him.”
I forced a smile. "You're the one who likes him, not m e. I won't be going."
I did not want to be a third wheel.
Cassey threw a tantrum. "I don't care, you must come with me."
U H
This noblewoman was actually such a coward?
Afraid that she would get mad if I made fun of her again, I accompanied her over helplessly.
When we walked up to Caleb, Cassey seemed as though she had been possessed by a spirit and completely changed. She stood demurely, and whether it was her words or the smile on her face, she looked exactly like a lady from a wealthy family.
"What a coincidence, Mr. Franklin." Cassey raised her hand to flick her hair. "I'm quite surprised to see you
here."
Caleb wrinkled his eyebrows. "You are?"
I was stunned.
Were the 520 days that Cassey mentioned really just one-sided? She knew Caleb but he did not know her?
"I'm Cassey, Mr. Franklin." Cassey seemed a little aggrieved now. "We met when you gave a lecture at Whaldorf University last time."
Caleb paused for a moment as if he recalled, then stood up and said, "You're Mr. Louis’ sister, Miss Cassey!"
Cassey was as happy as a lark seeing that he still remembered her. "Glad you remember. It’s a rare coincidence that I stumbled into you in Salt City and I have quite a few economics questions to ask you. I wonder if this is a convenient time?"
Caleb let out a warm smile. "Of course, please have a seat."
We had just sat down when Cassey said to me, " Wanda, don't you have to go shopping with your husband later?”
