Zack clicked his tongue as he grabbed the desserts that Logan hadn’t tasted and began enjoying them. While many
of the guests who came were customers, Sophia and Robin were kept busy until the afternoon.
After Zack was gone, Sophia came closer to Logan and asked, “Zack just came, didn’t he? Why did he leave so
soon?”
Logan leaned back in his seat and squinted. “Maybe he is busy at work.”
Sophia sat opposite Logan and said with a smile, “It feels good to run my own business.”
Logan responded with a smile. “The way I see it, you’re pretty friendly and enthusiastic in treating your customers.
Keep this up, and I believe your business will get better and better.” He then shifted his gaze outside the window
and added, “Alright, I’ve been here throughout the morning, so I figure I should go back home and take a nap.
Moreover, I’m so tired as I woke up early this morning to buy those fireworks.”
Sophia smiled and replied, “Okay! Go home and rest then. There is nothing else going on here anyway.”
As Logan stepped out of Sophia’s shop, a car parked by the opposite side of the road caught his eye, whereupon he
sniggered and murmured, “What did I say? Something is wrong with the two of them for sure.”
It turned out that John was sitting in his car while staring at Sophia’s shop, where she could be seen busy with her
work through the French window. She looks just about the same as when she was busy in the kitchen back then.
Soon, the man leaned back in his seat and produced a cigarette box, feeling calm on the inside.

In the meantime, Sophia had been busy attending to her work until the afternoon when there were no customers.
Then, she proceeded to make herself a cup of coffee and sat in the chair by the window. Drinking while
appreciating the street view on the outside, she suddenly paused what she was doing and pondered for a moment.
Then, she put her cup down on the table and went ahead to make another one, taking it with her as she stepped
out of her shop. While John’s car was still parked by the roadside, she approached the vehicle, only to find John
seemingly asleep in there. A few seconds later, after she knocked on the glass, John slowly wound down the car
window.
She then passed the coffee over to him. “This is for you. Finish it, and you could head back to your company. If you
want to rest, you might as well go home and take a nap.” John took the coffee without saying a single word, while
Sophia turned around and returned to her shop. After that, she sat back in the seat with a relaxed look on her face.
A few minutes later, John finally drove off, whereas Sophia happily took her gaze off the man’s car.
The first day of business was a hectic one as there were more customers than she expected. It was only until the
evening that Sophia could finally take a break when there were no more customers. Soon, both owners happily
stretched themselves after a long day, while Robin said, “I used to run a shop back then, but the business was
never as hectic as this one.”
After a brief contemplation, Sophia gave a suggestion. “Let’s celebrate the good start of our business tonight. My
treat!” Feeling an urge to actualize her thoughts, Sophia immediately took Robin back to her place to get changed.
Considering their similar builds, she reckoned Robin could just wear her clothes. After settling down, she gave Logan
a call and told him about the celebration.
While Logan agreed to show up without hesitation, Sophia thought she should get more people to join them since
Ian was not around. Therefore, she gave Zack a call, thinking she should repay him for the flowers he bought to
support her. The celebration wouldn’t be complete without Zack.
Nevertheless, Zack appeared a little hesitant the moment he answered Sophia’s call, not because he didn’t want to
join them, but because he wasn’t sure whether he should tell John to tag along. Upon hearing his concern, Sophia
told him to forget about John and added, “John is a busy man, so we might as well forget about him.
Furthermore, he’s likely going to ruin the fun if he is around.” Zack knew what she meant, so he didn’t say a single
word more. After confirming the time and their rendezvous, Sophia set off for the destination with Robin.
