Macchiato is indeed very sweet, but I didn’t taste the flavor of love from it; I only felt like bitter black coffee, while Azure was like sweet macchiato.
Sotis I looked at her, calculating in my heart the timing of her encounter with Henry Preston the day after tomorrow.
The City A summit forum starts at 9:30 in the morning. As a part-ti greeter, Azure will be early at the entrance, and Henry Preston will see her as soon as he enters, then get hit by Cupid’s arrow.
"Azure, would you like to do so other part-ti work? I can introduce you to a tutoring job, which you can start tomorrow with good pay," I asked softly, taking advantage of the mont when Azure was tidying the table beside .
Azure gave a grateful smile but declined, "Miss Hathaway, thank you for thinking of , but I’m starting school in a few days, and after finishing a temporary greeting job the day after tomorrow, I have to return to school to register."
I was taken aback; school was indeed about to start.
I was one step too late; if I had spoken a few days earlier, maybe I could have really prevented Azure from appearing in front of Henry Preston.
But I felt relieved as well, given the destiny between Henry Preston and Azure, even if I stopped them this ti, I couldn’t stop the second, the third ti...
"No worries, I just suddenly rembered this." I took another sip of coffee and smiled, "Are you quitting this job too?"
"Yes, with school starting, I won’t have ti." Azure glanced around, seemingly sowhat reluctant, then gave a playful smile, "Miss Hathaway, I’ll miss you."
I felt a bit awkward; if Azure knew everything, she would probably shy away from .
Just then, more custors arrived, and Azure went to greet them. I breathed a sigh of relief, stood up to pay the bill, and left.
In the future, I probably won’t need to co to this affordable café again.
The wheels of fate have already started turning, and watching all that is about to unfold as an observer is no easier for than the last lifeti.
From Ivan Underwood’s incident, I realized the butterfly effect is very strong, and there will definitely be changes happening that I will have to face.
These two days, with the in-laws at ho, Henry Preston cos back every day for lunch and dinner and shares the bed with .
Unlike his calm composure, my heart is growing more and more uneasy.
"What ti are you going to the forum tomorrow?" I asked quietly.
"Eight o’clock," Henry Preston replied drowsily, eyes closed beside , his voice indifferent.
"Can you bring family mbers?" I really wanted to witness that legendary scene in person, considering the love story between Henry Preston and Azure was a hit online for a long ti in the past life.
Henry turned his gaze to , with a hint of irony in his dark pupils, "Family mber? You?"
I blinked, "Legally, yes."
Such business forums can certainly include partners or assistants. Many entrepreneurs attend with their spouses, and with my father’s status, it wouldn’t be unreasonable for to accompany him.
But Henry didn’t think so; he scoffed, "Wishful thinking?"
I turned over, staring intently at Henry’s profile, his profile was incredibly well-defined and delicate, particularly where his nose bridge t his brow bone—excessively perfect. Such a handso and wealthy man, in the end, was captivated by a girl with such an ordinary status?
It really has a bit of a Cinderella and Prince charm to it.
"If you don’t take , I’ll go tell your father and have him take ," I said again, this ti a threat.
My father-in-law would certainly wonder why Henry isn’t taking , then question his care towards .
As expected, this tactic was very effective; Henry’s look at was now like it was poisoned, "Get up at eight tomorrow, I won’t wait a minute longer."
"Okay, I’ll be up at seven thirty, need to put on so makeup." I bead at Henry with a happy smile.
I even thought it through: I would learn more about the developnt process between Henry and Azure, and in the future, after I get divorced from him, I could write a book from the perspective of an ex-wife, detailing their love story—surely many people would be interested.
Just for this angle, it will surely make a lot of money, really very worthwhile.
The next day, I got up on ti, put on light makeup, changed into a relatively dignified outfit, and set off with Henry.
Upon reaching the destination, I looked at the magnificent and grand hall. The doors were open, several beautiful greeters stood on both sides, with Azure among them, wearing a Chinese qipao, very striking, more noticeable than the others. Henry unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car, clearly not yet noticing Azure.
"You go ahead; I need to touch up my makeup," I suddenly said to Henry.
In the past life, Azure knew Henry was married but never t or had any communication with ; in this life, it’s better not to let her know about my relationship with Henry yet.
Henry couldn’t be bothered with and walked away after getting out of the car.
Through the car window, I focused on watching Henry’s figure walk towards the entrance.
Finally, he arrived in front of Azure; since his back was to , I couldn’t see his facial expression change—I could only see his footsteps stall slightly, seeming to evaluate the young, beautiful girl in front of him.
At that mont, my heart fell heavily to the bottom of the valley, very painful, while also coming to a definitive conclusion.
In front of so many people, no matter how moved Henry was, he wouldn’t act directly, the occasion wasn’t appropriate, so he soon entered the venue.
Seeing his figure disappear, I got out of the car and walked into the hall alone.
Seeing , Azure showed a surprised expression, but quickly returned to normal, quietly greeting, "Miss Hathaway."
I smiled at her, said nothing more, and went in to find a seat.
Henry was already seated in a spot in the first row, beside the venue manager for this forum; the two were talking about sothing. My seat was next to Henry’s, and as I walked over to sit down, I happened to hear the venue manager finish his last sentence, "Okay, I’ll send you her number later."
Then he sowhat awkwardly glanced at and quickly got up and left.
"He’s more perceptive than Chloe Payne," I remarked.
Henry glanced at , with even more annoyance than before in his eyes, probably because his mind was full of Azure and he didn’t want to hear anything I said.
Since he didn’t want to listen, I insisted on speaking, "Last ti, Chloe sat next to for a long ti but didn’t recognize ; said I was soone without a presence."
"Understandable." Henry replied indifferently.
"Are you saying it’s understandable she didn’t recognize or that it’s understandable I’m soone without a presence?" I curiously asked.
Henry said nothing more, just looked at Azure, who was walking over from not far away, his eyes showing a brightness I had never seen before.
I recognized this look because that’s how I looked at Henry when I first t him.
Azure was all eyes on , not even glancing at Henry, which I found quite gratifying.
I’m now sowhat believing that Azure truly loves Joel Sutton. In the past life, her rejections of Henry were also sincere; otherwise, how could she not see this intensely gazing man beside her at all?
