Chapter 1462


    Norah murmured. “No thanks, Im not really a coffee person.”


    Damian and the others started passing their coffees to Norah.


    “This one’s too sweet, not really my cup of tea”


    Tll have insomnia if I drink this! Here, Norah


    Im not a fan either.”


    Soon, Norah found herself with a tower of four or five cups of coffee in front of her


    Luisa watched all of that from the side, a hint of jealousy flickering in her eyes. She could easily see


    that while the people in the shop treated her as a guest, they considered Norah one of their own


    No biggie, she thought, she’d arrivedte. Sooner orter, she’d kick Norah out of the joint


    Xavier handed his cup to Norah without a second thought, saying, “I don’t drink this stuff, you have it.”


    Norah wasn’t exactly thrilled about coffee, but she took Xavier’s cup anyway.


    Luisa humedly offered her cup to Xavier, “Mr. Flemmings, please have mine.”


    “No thanks!” Xavier declined


    Feeling down, Luisa took a seat next to Zachary


    Despite the ample space on Zachary’s right side, Luisa chose to squeeze in on his left side, which was


    right next to Xavier


    Norah nced at Luisa but kept her mouth shut


    “What’s the game? I want to y too!” Luisa shed a cunning smile, “But go easy on me, I’m not very


    good at it


    “We’re all here just to have fun, it doesn’t matter who wins or loses,” Zachary said with a smile.


    “Tm in then! Luisa leaned forward, waiting for Damian to deal the cards. She turned to Norah, “You


    joining. Norah?”


    Before Norah could respond, Xavier answered for her, “She won’t.”


    “Norah doesn’t know how to y? Luisa asked softly, “No biggie, I’m not very good either


    Xavier’s face was unreadable as he said, “She’s still a kid!”


    Norah just stood there and couldn’t say anything.


    Luisa’s gaze flickered between the two, her smile unwavering. “Right, Norah’s still in school. It’s not


    really appropriate for her to gamble.”


    Suddenly, Xavier tossed his chips onto the table, “You guys carry on, fm out”


    “You’ve won quite a bit today!” Damianughed. “Leaving just like that?”


    “Just like that!” Xavier said nonchntly.


    Luisa chuckled, “Mr. Flemmings is so generous? No wonder he’s the boss”


    The groupughed and joked around for a bit before continuing their card game

    Norah sat next to Xavier and curiously asked, “Why aren’t you ying anymore?”


    Xavier reached for a cigarette, but remembering there were women present, put it back down. He


    nced at Norah, “So that you won’t get jealous.”


    Norah’s heart jumped, she sipped her coffee through a straw, and suddenly, it didn’t taste so bad.


    After a morning of cards and the rain outside getting heavier, there were no customers. It was a perfect


    time for the gang to hang out


    Luisa volunteered to cook, with Zachary happily helping her out.


    With ready ingredients and Zachary’s assistance, Luisa whipped up eight dishes in no time


    Everyone sat around the table, admiring the feast in front of them. They all praised Luisa’s cooking


    skills and jokingly told Zachary how lucky he was to have fur
