Chapter 1419
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Although they did have a good chat, Cecilia was all that occupied Noelâs heart. He didnât have any intention to start on a new relationship.
All he needed to do was carry out what Diana wanted him to do.
He didnât say much, neither did he have the intention of continuing to chat with Ginny.
âIâm sorry, I came down to work before the blinds lifted.â
So that was what happened!
No wonder they didnât see each other! They really didnât!
That lady who fancied him must have been heartbroken.
The usually cold Ginny transformed into a super gossip monger. âI see!â
She decided to help them out. She tapped on her tablet and showed him their group photo just now.
âItâs this lady. How does she look? If you like her, I can give you her contact number!â
She was already trying her best to imitate the cute tone that normal girls spoke in, lest others found that she was a heartless murderer.
However, Noel didnât want to respond to Ginny. He rubbed his nose in slight disdain, and looked away from Ginny. He didnât pay attention to the tablet.
Until now, there was nothing that Ginny could not do. She reached out and pulled Noel. Noel, who was intending to walk past Ginny, was stopped right in his tracks.
At that moment, Noel thought he must have been hallucinating.
That waitress clearly just touched his arm lightly. Why was he unable to move an inch� Could his shoulders have gone so stiff after sitting for such a long time?
Noel was in disbelief, and figured it was about time for a full body check-up.
âIâm sorry, I donât like her.â
With that, Noel picked up his laptop and walked forward. He tried one more time, and was still unable to move. He looked down, and saw Ginnyâs hand on his upper arm.
Could it be due to the strength of the waitress?
Noel was shocked, but before he could think deeper, he saw the waitress who served him coffee holding the tablet so seriously and presenting that photo so earnestly to him.
She zoomed in on a personâs face, again and again.
â¦Until her familiar features were clear for him to see.
Noelâs eyes widened. âCecilia?!â
âYou know her?â Ginny lightened her grip, and Noel was able to move normally once more.
The shock at seeing Ceciliaâs photo on Ginnyâs tablet made Noel forget about the stiffness that made him unable to move his arm. He no longer cared about that.
His face turned cold, and he said coldly, âWhy are you showing me her photo? Do you frequently show other peopleâs photos of your customers?â
Ginny was stunned. It had been a long time since someone reprimanded her like this!
She was so elated, she almost wagged her tail if she had one. To think being spoken to so harshly was so enjoyable!
Ginny smiled as she explained to Noel, âNot at all, youâre the first and sole exception.â
It was mainly because the lady herself wasnât too bad.
She was beautiful, and clearly the naive sort with a happy life. She didnât need to worry about having enough to eat or wear.
Such a carefree spirit was something that Ginny wanted the most. She had to admit, she was envious of that beautiful lady.
It wasnât jealousy. In fact, it was envy that had become a strong urge to help and protect that ladyâs precious spirit.
âRidiculous,â Noel spat.
He thought that the waitress must have a screw loose. She had exposed the privacy of other customers, and had the audacity to say that he was her first and sole exception.
Was that good enough a reason for her to expose her customerâs private information?
Who would dare visit a café like this in the future?
Whatâs more, Cecilia was probably here for a blind date. Yet, she ended up having her photo exposed to others by this rash waitress.
Hang on.
Noel stood in a daze for a moment before turning to Ginny with a look of disbelief. âWhy did you show me her photo?â
Realization slowly dawned upon him.
âDo you mean to say that this lady was the one who sat and chatted with me on the second floor just now?!â
