Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 1419

Although they did have a good chat, Cecilia was all that occupied Noel’s heart. He didn’t have any intention to start on a new relationship.

All he needed to do was carry out what Diana wanted him to do.

He didn’t say much, neither did he have the intention of continuing to chat with Ginny.

“I’m sorry, I came down to work before the blinds lifted.”

So that was what happened!

No wonder they didn’t see each other! They really didn’t!

That lady who fancied him must have been heartbroken.

The usually cold Ginny transformed into a super gossip monger. “I see!”

She decided to help them out. She tapped on her tablet and showed him their group photo just now.

“It’s this lady. How does she look? If you like her, I can give you her contact number!”

She was already trying her best to imitate the cute tone that normal girls spoke in, lest others found that she was a heartless murderer.

However, Noel didn’t want to respond to Ginny. He rubbed his nose in slight disdain, and looked away from Ginny. He didn’t pay attention to the tablet.

Until now, there was nothing that Ginny could not do. She reached out and pulled Noel. Noel, who was intending to walk past Ginny, was stopped right in his tracks.

At that moment, Noel thought he must have been hallucinating.

That waitress clearly just touched his arm lightly. Why was he unable to move an inch…? Could his shoulders have gone so stiff after sitting for such a long time?

Noel was in disbelief, and figured it was about time for a full body check-up.

“I’m sorry, I don’t like her.”

With that, Noel picked up his laptop and walked forward. He tried one more time, and was still unable to move. He looked down, and saw Ginny’s hand on his upper arm. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Could it be due to the strength of the waitress?

Noel was shocked, but before he could think deeper, he saw the waitress who served him coffee holding the tablet so seriously and presenting that photo so earnestly to him.

She zoomed in on a person’s face, again and again.

…Until her familiar features were clear for him to see.

Noel’s eyes widened. “Cecilia?!”

“You know her?” Ginny lightened her grip, and Noel was able to move normally once more.

The shock at seeing Cecilia’s photo on Ginny’s tablet made Noel forget about the stiffness that made him unable to move his arm. He no longer cared about that.

His face turned cold, and he said coldly, “Why are you showing me her photo? Do you frequently show other people’s photos of your customers?”

Ginny was stunned. It had been a long time since someone reprimanded her like this!

She was so elated, she almost wagged her tail if she had one. To think being spoken to so harshly was so enjoyable!

Ginny smiled as she explained to Noel, “Not at all, you’re the first and sole exception.”

It was mainly because the lady herself wasn’t too bad.

She was beautiful, and clearly the naive sort with a happy life. She didn’t need to worry about having enough to eat or wear.

Such a carefree spirit was something that Ginny wanted the most. She had to admit, she was envious of that beautiful lady.

It wasn’t jealousy. In fact, it was envy that had become a strong urge to help and protect that lady’s precious spirit.

“Ridiculous,” Noel spat.

He thought that the waitress must have a screw loose. She had exposed the privacy of other customers, and had the audacity to say that he was her first and sole exception.

Was that good enough a reason for her to expose her customer’s private information?

Who would dare visit a café like this in the future?

What’s more, Cecilia was probably here for a blind date. Yet, she ended up having her photo exposed to others by this rash waitress.

Hang on.

Noel stood in a daze for a moment before turning to Ginny with a look of disbelief. “Why did you show me her photo?”

Realization slowly dawned upon him.

“Do you mean to say that this lady was the one who sat and chatted with me on the second floor just now?!”
