Chapter 1516
Jared was not bothered by it at all as he replied, "You should know about me as long as you''re in San
Joto."
Although those words betrayed his arrogance, Nicole knew that he was just speaking the truth.
Jared did notment any further, as the supervisor quickly brought two cups of coffee in and served
it to Jared and Nicole.
Nicole gently lifted the mug while Jared nced at thette art and thought, ''Even though the coffee
here is not as good as mine, the techniques they employ in crafting coffee art is just something else.
As Jared was thinking, he took a sip.
The supervisor went on to look at Jared, who was taking sips of his coffee while going through some
documents. "Sir, how is the coffee? If there is any issue, I''m ready to assist you."
He was afraid that he had not served Jared well.
"It''s fine. The coffee is fine." Jared took another sip without looking up.
"Really?" The supervisor stared at Jared. ,
For someone like Jared who must have had all sorts of coffee, his act of saying that the coffee was
"fine" meant a great deal to them.
The supervisor proceeded to thank him happily. "Thank you for yourpliment."
It was then that the door to the café opened.Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Seeing that, the supervisor gave Jared an apologetic smile, and went off to greet his other customer.
Meanwhile, Nicole was sipping her coffee while ncing at the entrance. There were not many people
on the street. In fact, they were the only customers at the café at that time, and so, upon spotting the
group and their sudden appearance, Nicole could not help but steal a few nces at those customers
once again.
From her periphery, she saw a tall man with a t cap entering the premises. As suspicious as he was,
he was not looking at them at all.
Instead, his head was bowed, as he found a ce to sit and signaled to the supervisor, "I''d like a cup of
cappino."
It was the very first time that the supervisor had encountered a person of such icy disposition.
His smile was stiff. "Coming right up."
He left and hurried off to the kitchen. Soonter, a server came out and served the man the cup of
cappino he had requested.
Nicole took two more sips of her coffee and noticed that the man had never lifted his head. It seemed
to her that man was looking at the menu. However, it was also then that she noticed there was a barely
noticeable callus between his thumb and index finger.
Jared had also noticed that man. He narrowed his eyes a little and proceeded to size the man up.
“Why? Is something wrong?" he asked.
Nicole felt his gaze. She lifted her head and stared at Jared, signaling him to keep quiet and observe.
Jared suddenly burst outughing. ''Oh, thisdy’.
As strange as it was, he might have found something interesting or amusing.
After finishing her coffee, Nicole nced at the time and said to
Jared, "I''m going to make a call outside. Come to me after you''ve settled the bill.”
As soon as she had spoken, Nicole left at once.
That left Jared feeling helpless. With the fact that Nicole was such a fierce and independent woman,
Jared felt that he would not have the chance to be protective of her.
All Jared could do was nod back at her. Then, he turned around and strode off to the payment counter.
Seeing that Nicole had left, the man in the t cap left some cash on the table, got up, and left.
When Jared noticed that the man was following Nicole, his face darkened.
"Sir, is everything fine?" The supervisor looked at Jared cautiously.
‘He seemed fine just now, why does he look so angry now? Did I do something wrong?"
"Is there a problem?" Jared nced at him coldly.
"N-none at all!" The supervisor fumbled, as he was startled. " Goodbye!"
‘A person of such status. It''s best for you to leave!’ he thought.
Jared did not bother about the supervisor, as he turned around and walked out of the café at once.
The supervisor was left standing there as he broke into cold sweat.
That scared him. It really did. Indeed, Jared really did live up to the name of being the scion of the
Johnston family. His presence was intimidating.
