Chapter 1421
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
But Cecilia Jarvisâ¦
Ginny looked hard at the photo; the more she stared at it, the more she sensed that something was wrong. There was clearly someone seated opposite Cecilia!
But this fattyâ¦
Ginny had a relatively good memory. She would never forget anyone she saw.
She tried hard to recall, and then remembered that this fatty was originally seated diagonally opposite Cecilia.
How did he end up in Noelâs seat?
The natural and relaxed manner that he and Cecilia behaved with each other made it seem like they were the ones matched on the blind date.
That didnât make sense. Something smelled fishy.
To get to the bottom of the matter, Ginny studied the footage of the surveillance camera on the second floor. The moment she did, she was furious.
That damn fatty! How could he pretend to be Noel, who was Ceciliaâs actual blind date?
Ginny was frustrated. After all that, the couple she was secretly rooting for didnât end up together because someone intercepted them.
Almost immediately, she made use of her rights as the more senior staff of the café, and retrieved the personal information of the participants of todayâs blind date.
Very soon, she found Noelâs contact number from his photo.
She sent him a photo of Cecilia seated with Larry. âSomeoneâs snatching your future girlfriend away from you!â
Ginny had a good impression of Noel.
Just now, when she first showed Noel Ceciliaâs photo, the first thing he harped on was not how beautiful the lady looked, but about privacy issues.
What a righteous man indeed.
It was precisely what Ginny lacked. Whatever she lacked was something she really appreciated in others.
She cupped her chin in her hands as she stared at her phone, waiting for Noelâs reply. What would he say this time?
âSheâs not my future girlfriend. Things are impossible between us,â was his reply.
Ginny replied, âYou canât pursue ladies by being so respectable and upright.â
Noel texted back, âSheâs my ex.â
Ginny was stunned.
Noel sent her a third message before Ginny had a chance to reply.
âOn account of you stealing my personal information again, I reserve the right to hold you accountable for your actions in violating other peopleâs privacy. The messages you just sent serve as proof that I can submit to court.â
Julian wonât go by the back door. They hadnât engaged in underhanded means for a long time. To close down this café, they had to do things the right and legal way.
Ginny smiled. âGreat.â
She replied to him with a cheeky smiling emoticon. Noel recalled her eyes, that looked as if they didnât care about anything.
âI hope you can close our shop down as soon as you can. Iâll thank you on behalf of our boss.â
Noel was silent.
Julian was right beside Noel, and saw the changes in the expressions on his face. He leaned over, and glanced at Noelâs messages.
Julian smiled. âCould there be someone so arrogant in Richburgh?â
Noel said, âYes, I met her today. Iâve also looked into the caféâs owner. Heâs a man whoâs drunk all day, but for some reason, I canât find any photos of him.â
âNot even after searching with our companyâs intranet?â Julian asked.
They were living in the smart technology era. As long as one left the house and didnât stay indoors the whole day, one would definitely have his image captured by a lens of sorts.
However, Noel said that he was unable to find a photo of this boss anywhere.
âHidden talents abound in Richburgh,â Julian lamented. âPerhaps an impressive character has emerged on our shores once more.â
The more he couldnât find this mysterious boss, the more he wanted to see him in person.
