Chapter 283


    "Someone''s here."


    Cecilia instantly replied with augh, "You got to keep your work updated, or your readers will really


    flip."


    She headed towards the person who had just pushed open the ss door, took a nce, and


    couldn''t help but marvel.


    He was such a hunk.


    She kept on looking at the guest''s face, which resembled a movie star’s face. She was searching


    her mind for words to describe that handsome man, like debonair, unmatched, but in the end, she


    decided that handsome was the most fitting!


    Simple and clear.


    "Is this a coffee shop?"


    The man was a bit embarrassed by Cecilia''s intense gaze, he looked around and then asked


    Cecilia.


    Did he get the wrong address?


    The address given to him was of this ce.


    The photo given to him was of this girl.


    Avery Cooper mumbled to himself, “Could the target be actually someone who''s crushing on him?”


    He was just there to do his job, and he didn''t want any trouble. What if she really fancied him? What


    would he do in that situation?


    Within a minute, Avery had already thought through all the possible scenarios.


    "Yep, this is a coffee shop, called Serendipity Cafe. In Pinehurst, our shop is quite famous."


    Cecilia''s surprise onlysted for a minute, quickly, she returned to her normal self, and greeted


    Avery with a smile, "Find a spot to sit, want coffee or tea? Our desserts here are pretty good too,


    many people loveing here, want to give it a try?"


    The other customers thought to themselves, “We''re actually here to see her.”


    Avery breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that he hadn''t gone to the wrong ce.


    "I thought I had walked into a dating spot because your gaze scared me as soon as I walked in."


    He felt like amb to the ughter.


    Ceciliaughed out loud, "Have you ever been to a dating spot? How was it? Are all the guys there


    just as handsome as you?"


    She wanted to take a look too. The so-called dating spot.


    "Nah, I''ve never been there."


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Avery sat down at a table by the window, casually saying, "If you''re interested, you can check it out


    and share your experience with me when youe back, satisfy my curiosity."


    Saying that, he took out a business card and gave it to Cecilia, "Just give me a call when you get


    that experience."


    Cecilia was even more amused. She was just joking, but she didn''t expect the guest to have such a


    sense of humor, even giving her a business card.


    She took the card, looked at it, and it turned out that he was a model for a male fashion brand, no


    wonder he had such a great figure and was so handsome.


    "Mr. Cooper, what would you like to drink?"


    "I worked until 3 a.m.st night, and I have work againter, I''m not in the best state right now, I


    need a cup of coffee to pick me up, I''ll have atte."


    "Do you want any pastries?"


    Avery replied with a smile, "This is my first time visiting the Serendipity Cafe, but like you said, your


    coffee shop is quite famous in Pinehurst, I''ve heard about it for a while, and since I was passing by


    today, I decided toe in for a taste, since I''m here, may as well serve me some pastries too. If I


    find it to be good, I will introduce more friends toe visit your shop."


    "Mr. Cooper, don''t worry, I guarantee you''ll be one of our regrs. Please wait a moment."


    Cecilia took Avery''s card, turned around, and casually put it in her pocket.


    When she first saw Avery, she was indeed attracted by his looks, but she wouldn''t really be


    infatuated with him. After all, she had seen many handsome guys, like Mr. Coleman, Lucinda''s two


    brothers, and even her own brother, they were all very handsome.


    Even her husband was handsome enough to be a pop idol.


    Lucinda looked up at Avery while she was writing, she heard their conversation but didn''t think


    much of it.


    Cecilia was pretty straightforward, most people liked to interact with her except for people like Ruby.


    Avery also looked at Lucinda, who was looking at him, their eyes met, and Avery marveled.


    Everyone said that the two bosses of the Serendipity Cafe were young and beautiful, naturally


    beautiful, and he believed them when he saw these twodies that day.


    He smiled at Lucinda. Lucinda also returned the gesture.


    The server brought out the pastries that Avery ordered.


    Lucinda turned her attention back to her writing. As she was no longer under financial pressure, she


    slowed down her writing pace.


    She used to rely on writing to alleviate financial pressure, working hard every day, often so tired that


    her back ached and her legs cramped, she was worried that she would contract some upational


    diseases at a very young age.


    She tried to propose to her editor to end the writing early, but neither the editor nor the website


    agreed to that, as her work was still doing well and it was a finalized work, unlike revenue-sharing


    works that could be ended at any time.


    The website required her to write at least 1.5 million words, as many rmendations required


    more than a million words to be listed.


    She had no choice but to grit her teeth andplete it, otherwise, if she ended it casually, the


    website would find someone to continue writing using her pen name, and the ie from thetter


    part would have nothing to do with her and she would not get any profit.


    As a writer, she was used to treating her works like her children, and no one wanted their child to be


    taken away by someone else after they had put the effort to raise them.


    After a while, Cecilia came out with a cup of coffee.


    When she passed by, Lucinda heard her phone keep ringing.


    Owen was really sshing out.


    Lucinda thought that her friend and Owen were very eye-catching, she had written a few thousand


    words of a new story with her friend as the main character, but unfortunately, she was too busy


    recently and had no time to continue writing, and she didn''t really have time to write novels in the


    future either.


    She had to put it aside for that time.


    Lucinda felt that she had missed the opportunity to be famous.


    "Mr. Cooper, here''s your coffee."


    Cecilia put down the tray and ced the cup of coffee in front of Avery. Seeing that Avery had eaten


    half of the pastries, she curiously asked with a smile, "Mr. Cooper, how do you find our pastries?"


    "They''re delicious, I like sweets."


    Cecilia''s eyes shimmered, "I rarely see men who like sweets."


    Averyughed, "Now you''ve met one."


    He was a total sucker for desserts, and his lover even went out of her way to learn how to whip up


    all kinds of sweet treats to please him. It was a bummer though; their rtionship wasn''t exactly


    embraced by society.


    His lover''s business had hit a roadblock at that time, and his boss offered to lend a hand, but only if


    he agreed to his boss'' terms and conditions.


    All in all, if it meant helping his lover and getting some dough in return, Avery didn''t think twice


    about saying yes to that proposal.


    Once he met the target, he thought she was a real catch. He couldn''t believe his boss'' grandson


    couldn''t see her worth!


    Ceciliaughed, "Mr. Cooper, take your time and enjoy. I''ve got to run."


    "Alright."


    Avery gave Cecilia the nod to leave, then pulled out his phone to snap some pics. He took photos of


    the desserts, the coffee, and even managed to sneak in a shot of Cecilia''s back when she wasn''t


    looking.
