The team mbers ca in with the sound of wind chis, and the employees in the shop instinctively looked over.
There weren’t many people in the cake shop at this ti, so all of the employees, including Claire Xavier herself, were sitting in the lobby.
Upon hearing soone entering, everyone stood up to welco the guests.
But the next mont, they saw clearly who had walked in.
"Stardust Team?!!"
The assistant manager, who loved watching esports matches the most, spoke up first.
"You, you guys are... Lang, King, Wind and Rain, Little Nine, AKA???"
The mbers of Stardust Team were usually very enthusiastic when facing people who could recognize them, but today was different.
They had seen their sister-in-law, so naturally, they had to greet her first.
Several team mbers rely nodded slightly to the assistant manager before walking towards Ashley Shaw, who was wiping tables.
Ashley had been busy working, and only turned around when she heard the assistant manager ntion "Stardust Team".
Seeing five familiar faces, her eyes widened instantly with a sense of unease.
The next second, she saw the team mbers of Stardust Team uniformly walk up to her and bow in unison.
"Hello, sister-in-law!"
With this greeting of "Hello, sister-in-law," the pastoral idyll fell silent instantly.
Claire Xavier had the biggest reaction, her eyes almost bulging out.
Not to ntion Claire Xavier, Ashley Shaw herself was stunned too.
But she quickly realized what the "sister-in-law" situation was.
She hurriedly explained: "You guys have got it wrong, I’m not your sister-in-law."
"Ah?"
The team mbers looked at each other in confusion.
If she isn’t a sister-in-law, then what is she?
Ashley Shaw didn’t want Claire Xavier to know about what happened yesterday, so as not to worry her, so she directly led the team mbers to the door to explain.
"You really have got it wrong, I’m not your sister-in-law, and I’m not in the kind of relationship you’re imagining with Warren Prescott."
"Warren and I are actually classmates, and he said that just to help ."
"Because if he didn’t say that, there would be much more to explain. So please don’t call that anymore."
The team looked at each other, not quite believing what Ashley Shaw said was true.
If they’re not dating, why would Warren video call her after the livestream?
If they’re not dating, why would Warren be so annoyed when Ashley brushed him off a little?
"Sister-in-law, don’t be shy, we understand."
A bit of playful teasing between young couples.
Ashley Shaw’s mouth twitched.
"What I said is true, if you don’t believe it, you can ask Warren Prescott."
Team mbers: "..." They wouldn’t dare!
"Anyway, please don’t call sister-in-law anymore. When Warren Prescott actually gets a girlfriend soday, she won’t be happy about it."
Ashley Shaw’s serious expression made the team mbers waver.
At that exact mont, Ashley Shaw’s WeChat notification sounded.
She fished out her phone from her pocket and saw that Warren Prescott was calling.
The two team mbers closest to her saw the caller ID and wore expressions of "Sister-in-law is indeed the sister-in-law."
Ashley Shaw couldn’t bother to explain and answered the call, saying: "Hello?"
"Are you free at three in the afternoon?"
This ti, Ashley Shaw wasn’t forgetful; she rembered that she had to buy a gift for Leo today, so she nodded imdiately: "Yes."
"Then I’ll co to pick you up."
After saying this, he didn’t wait for Ashley Shaw’s response and hung up the phone.
After finishing the call, Ashley Shaw lifted her head and saw several team mbers standing respectfully in front of her, their backs straighter than trees.
Clearly, because of Warren Prescott’s phone call, her previous explanation was wasted.
"You guys..."
"Sister-in-law, we know we’re disturbing you, so we’ll leave now!"
The team mbers finally understood, the reason sister-in-law wouldn’t admit it is because she and Warren are secretly dating, and her colleagues at the cake shop don’t know, so she wouldn’t confess.
Once they realized this, they imdiately said farewell to Ashley Shaw, lined up, and quickly scurried away in unison.
Ashley Shaw didn’t even have ti to speak before the group disappeared from her sight.
It’s good they left, it saves her the trouble of explaining again.
They’ll probably go back and confirm with Warren Prescott, right?
It’s better to have this kind of misunderstanding resolved.
Ashley Shaw turned back into the shop, and upon entering, saw a group of people staring at her as if she were a criminal.
Among them, Claire Xavier’s gaze was the sharpest, and upon closer look could see she was practically radiating tangible anger.
Ashley Shaw paused, not yet able to speak when Claire Xavier questioned first: "Are you dating?"
Others were also staring intently at her, waiting for her answer.
Ashley Shaw chuckled dryly and said: "How could I? I’m busy all day with barely any ti to spare, where would I find the ti?"
"Then what was all that about them calling you sister-in-law?"
"It was a misunderstanding, didn’t I tell you yesterday I ran into Warren Prescott? We chatted about so family stuff, and those team mbers happened to be nearby, so they mistakenly thought I was his girlfriend."
Claire Xavier sighed in relief.
Thank goodness, otherwise her brother’s secret crush would have been doom.
Claire Xavier patted her shoulder and earnestly said: "If you really do start dating soone in the future, you’ll have to bring them to first so I can assess them for you."
Ashley Shaw nodded with a smile.
Seeing it was just a misunderstanding, the others imdiately turned their attention back to the matter of the Stardust Team.
"Ashley, where are they now?"
"Can I ask them for an autograph?"
"Can I get a photo with them?"
Ashley Shaw shrugged: "Too late, they’re gone."
Everyone showed expressions of disappointnt.
But the female staff mber was relentlessly asking: "Ashley, next ti you see them, can you ask The Wolves to give an autographed photo? I really like him!"
"Who’s The Wolves? Aren’t they called Stardust Team?"
The assistant manager couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
"The Wolves is the captain of Stardust Team, because during competitions, his ga ID is Lang, so we all call him The Wolves."
Ashley Shaw blushed.
"Okay, if I get the chance to et him, I’ll ask for you."
"Great!!" The female staff mber cheered delightedly.
Others teased: "You don’t even play their ga, and you say you like The Wolves? At least register an account and play a match."
"Yeah, or else if you et The Wolves, and he asks you which gun you’re good at, you won’t be able to answer."
The female staff mber looked indifferent.
"So what? I dare say, ninety percent of female fans who like them do so for their looks, and there’s no esports team with a higher average attractiveness than theirs. Especially The Wolves, he’s really damn handso!"
Ashley Shaw recalled the captain’s face.
She had watched the livestream, so she knew the one sitting in the middle was the captain.
Is The Wolves handso?
Can’t say for sure, because she had been looking at Warren Prescott’s face for so long that she had beco immune to handso guys.
However, the female staff mber’s words reminded her that her friend Ariana really liked the ga called "Apocalypse Survival" that they played.
Apparently, Ariana also really likes The Wolves?
So the next ti she actually ets them, she should ask The Wolves for two autographs.
