    ine pushed open the door and went inside.


    The waiters had already finished their work and gotten off work, and only the cafe owner was sitting at


    the front desk, going through the ledger.


    The wallmp glowed faintly.

    A vest covered the man’s dark gray shirt, his sleeves were rolled up, and his forearms were revealed.


    The leather strap watch o n his wrist was a retro-style watch that was very scarce on the market.


    None of his clothing and essories were of any luxury brand, but they were all custom-made instead.


    His fashion style looked simple,fortable, and refreshing.He lifted his head and opened a cab.


    "I thought you’de back in the evening to pick up the things you left behind."


    ine stepped forward awkwardly and watched him ce her employee card on the desk.


    "I’m really sorry.I didn’t know that I left it at your store."


    She remembered that it had been in her bag and had not taken it out.


    ‘Could it be that it identally fell out when I took out my wallet to pay for my coffee?’ She thought of


    something.


    "Then how did you know my cell phone number?" He gave off a faint smile.


    "The solution came to me all of a sudden, and I called yourpany to ask for your cell phone


    number."


    The employee of J Tech Inc.was working overtime tonight, so he had gotten lucky.


    ine kept the employee card away with a smile, and her gazended on the wine sses that were


    neatly arranged on the shelf.


    There were various cocktails in the transparent kitchen cabs.


    "You run a cafe and are into all these too?" She propped her arms against the surface of a table.


    "I didn’t see any of these earlier today."


    The man was caught off guard for a split second and turned around to take a look.He immediately


    walked t o the side, pressed a button, and the walls and cabs moved.


    Everything soon returned to what she saw during the day.


    ine was bbergasted.


    "Sorry, I forgot to change it back to how it usually looks." The man held up a self-mixed cocktail and


    shook it lightly.


    "No one else knows about this except for the staff of my store." ine chuckled.


    "Then does this make me the first customer to know the secret of your cafe?" The man drank the


    cocktail slowly, raised his gaze, andughed.


    "That’s true."


    "Have you ever owned a bar or a lounge before this?" He nodded.


    "Yeah."


    ine supported her chin with one hand.


    "That’s no wonder.However, it’s already sote, so why haven''t you gotten off work?"


    He lifted his head to look at her.


    "I’m here waiting for you, ain’t 1?"


    ine was momentarily stunned.


    If it weren’t for the fact that she had passed the age where a teenage girl first experienced the dawning


    of love, she would have thought that this man had a thing for her.


    Sheughed.


    "Yes, now that I’ve got my card, you can get off work already."


    She picked up her handbag and was about to take her leave when she suddenly remembered


    something, so she turned around and looked at him.


    "May I know your name?"


    The man shook the ss lightly, nced at her face through the pane, and gave a faint smirk.


    "You can call me Mr.Saldana."


    "Mr.Saldana."


    ine smiled before pushing the door open and leaving the cafe.


    The next day, Madam Vanderbilt fell ill and was hospitalized.


    Hector hurried to the hospital after receiving a call from his father.


    Lucy came along with him.


    Since she was about to meet the elderly of his family, she could not go there empty-handed.


    Thus, she also bought some supplements and brought them to the hospital.


    Hector stepped into the ward with Lucy.


    Heidi was sitting on the bed drinking broth.


    Besides Yorick, the two rtives were in the ward as well.


    "Grandmother."


    "You finally know that you shoulde and visit me."


    Heidi put the bowl down, and she did not look sick at all.


    "As long as I’m still alive and kicking, I think you won’t even remember that you have a grandmother,


    will you?"


    Hector frowned.


    "If you’re not feeling well, just stay a t home and don’t travel to Bassburgh so frequently."


    Seeing his attitude, Heidi became upset.


    "What do you mean, Hector? I’m the person who raised you since you were a child.You’ve be


    more disrespectful to me ever since you came to Bassburgh to find Maisie.Sure enough, that wretch


    Maisie has taught you to disrespect your elders, hasn’t she! ?"
