But Cecilia Jarvis…
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 fatty…
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 Noel’s 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 didn’t 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

That damn fatty! How could he pretend to be Noel, who was Cecilia’s actual blind date?
Ginny was frustrated. After all that, the couple she was secretly rooting for didn’t 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 today’s blind date.
Very soon, she found Noel’s contact number from his photo.
She sent him a photo of Cecilia seated with Larry. “Someone’s snatching your future girlfriend away from you!”
Ginny had a good impression of Noel.
Just now, when she first showed Noel Cecilia’s 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 Noel’s reply. What would he say this time?
“She’s not my future girlfriend. Things are impossible between us,” was his reply.
Ginny replied, “You can’t pursue ladies by being so respectable and upright.”
Noel texted back, “She’s my ex.”
Ginny was stunned.
Noel sent her a third message before Ginny had a chance to reply.
“On account of you stealing my personal information again, I reserve the right to hold you accountable for your
actions in violating other people’s privacy. The messages you just sent serve as proof that I can submit to court.”
Julian won’t go by the back door. They hadn’t 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. “Great.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe replied to him with a cheeky smiling emoticon. Noel recalled her eyes, that looked as if they didn’t care about
anything.
“I hope you can close our shop down as soon as you can. I’ll thank you on behalf of our boss.”
Noel was silent.
Julian was right beside Noel, and saw the changes in the expressions on his face. He leaned over, and glanced at
Noel’s messages.
Julian smiled. “Could there be someone so arrogant in Richburgh?”
Noel said, “Yes, I met her today. I’ve also looked into the café’s owner. He’s a man who’s drunk all day, but for some
reason, I can’t find any photos of him.”
“Not even after searching with our company’s intranet?” Julian asked.
They were living in the smart technology era. As long as one left the house and didn’t 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.
“Hidden talents abound in Richburgh,” Julian lamented. “Perhaps an impressive character has emerged on our
shores once more.”
The more he couldn’t find this mysterious boss, the more he wanted to see him in person.
