âArielle? Isnât she the genius with four full marks???
âCorrect! Go try out her ravioli. Maybe youâll get some luck for your exam.â
âYou should have told us earlier! Letâs go now.â Those students put down Wendyâs cookie and got read
y to leave.
Wendy immediately grabbed the hand of one of them. âWhatâs
so good with ravioli? The weather today is too hot to have that. Why donât you try out my dessert, along
with an iced Americanoâ¦â
âNo, thank you. Your stuff is too expensive. I will just go to the coffee shop if I want coffee.â The student
got rid of Wendyâs grip while turning to her friend. âLetâs go grab the ravioli now. Who
knows, we might pass the exam of Maxwell University tonight!â
âYes! Letâs hurry!â
With that, Wendy lost the two customers instantly.
What was killing her the most was the fact that they abandoned her stall for Arielleâs stall.
Wendyâs expression darkened immediately.
She turned to Cecilia wrathfully. âMom, look at them!â
Cecilia was also beyond exasperated. âI felt strange why we were
losing customers all of a sudden. It looks like that b*tch has snatched away all the customers!
What a scheming lady!â
Staring at her cookies, Wendy started to panic. âSo whatâre we going to do now? Do we just let her take
away all the customers?â
âFret not.â Cecilia comforted Wendy. âYouâve heard them just now. They went
after Arielle for good luck. I doubt if the ravioli tastes that good. They will mostly buy one portion each.
After the heat passes, the customers will be back. Please have some faith in my cooking. I am sure ma
ny people will come back to our stall later.â
Wendy nodded, but there was a sense of uneasiness in her heart.
âDonât worry, Wendy.â Cecilia sounded
utterly confident. âEven though she is a genius in studies, do you think someone who focuses on studie
s like her will be able to cook better than a housewife?â
Wendy smiled slightly. âLet me check her stall out and try to pull back some customers.â
âOkay.â Cecilia
nodded. âRemember to come back here soon. Susanne will probably be back any minute. Youâll have t
o show your best in front of her.â
Wendyâs gaze darkened once again upon hearing that name.
She feigned a smile and left her stall abruptly.
Before she realized it, she was already at Arielleâs stall.
Yet, the crowd in front of the stall was so huge that she could not even see Arielleâs face.
In an instant, jealousy and hatred filled
Wendyâs heart. Since when does her stall become so popular? It was still empty not
long ago. On the contrary, my stall has no customers even though it is in the best spot. Why is she alwa
Just then, someone among the crowd identified her.
âIsnât that Wendy? Why is she here at the goddessâ stall? She mustâve come here to make a fuss!â
âHaha. I saw her stall just now. Thereâs no customer at all over there. I bet she came here to check out h
âDonât let her create any trouble then. Letâs chase her away!â
Most of the crowd was aware of the conflict between Arielle and Wendy. Thus, as soon as they recogniz
One of them stepped toward Wendy. âHey, could you please get out of here?â
