Chapter 153 Backfire
The Old Time Cafe and the Fleur Club that Julian often went to all belonged to Ezra. They were also the places where they met with important people.
In addition to their daily work, every staff in these two places was very good at martial arts. Once something happened, they would come forward to protect them as soon as possible.
After what Caroline had done, Julian was very concerned about Emelia’s safety.
Emelia could sense something from Julian’s solemn tone. In disbelief, he asked, “Those shop assistants don’t know kung fu, do they?”
Otherwise, why would he say that they could protect her?
Julian replied indifferently, “What do you think?”
Emelia sucked in a breath of cold air, and then asked vigilantly, “Julian, are you doing legal business?”
A coffee house where the staff were all martial artists? She thought this was only possible in films or TV dramas.
Julian was so angry that he laughed. “If I’m not running a legal business, could I be ranked as one of the top ten excellent young men in Riverside City?”
Hearing this, Emelia let out a sigh of relief.
Julian and Ezra had been selected as the top ten young talents in Riverside City year after year. If they were recognized by the government, they couldn’t be reckless.
Julian explained, “Every industry has its own dangerous side. We did this for our own safety.”
Not everyone could accept failure. Some people would take risks if they could not get what they wanted. They would do anything, and the more money they were involved in, the more unsafe they were.
They were also doing this for self-protection and self-defense. It was their learned experience to prepare for unexpected situations.
“Sure.” Emelia nodded, and then said, “What about Annie, whom I learned from how to make coffee, she knows how to fight too?”
Annie was a barista at Old Time Cafe. She had learned how to make coffee from Annie.
Julian nodded, “Yes, Taekwondo black belt, champion of MMA.”
Emelia was shocked. She really couldn’t imagine that Annie, a patient and meticulous barista, was actually an MMA fighter. She couldn’t tell it at all back then.
Julian added, “When you have nothing to do, you can ask her to teach you a few moves to defend yourself.”
Emelia felt that this suggestion was quite a good one. Just as she was about to nod in agreement, she saw that Julian were sizing her up and down, he said, “With your body, it’s better for you to have a bodyguard.”
Emelia was rather unhappy. “What’s wrong with my body?”
She admitted that although she was thin, it didn’t mean that she didn’t know how to protect herself.
Julian looked at her deeply a few more times, and then said in a hoarse voice, “No, it’s not a big deal. You still look very sexy.”
Emelia was speechless.
SOS: what should she do when her ex-husband was suddenly flirting with her?
Julian looked calm and lowered his head to eat again.
She couldn’t look at him anymore, or she really wanted to bite him.
Julian didn’t expect that he would get himself turned on even though he was teasing her. As he ate, his mind was filled with the images of them in bed before.
As a result, after he finished his meal, he quickly got up and left. Otherwise, he was afraid that he would do something to Emelia.
After leaving far away, Emelia’s entire body relaxed. Mimi was quite familiar with this place, and from time to time, she would wrap herself around his feet. Fluffball was still a bit timid, who crawled to the bottom of the sofa and lay there, not coming out no matter how Emelia tried.
Emelia had no choice but to let him slowly adapt itself to the environment.
Just like everyone’s character was different. The kitten’s character was also different. At first glance, Fluffball’s character was introverted, which was quite similar to Emelia’s.
Emelia then called Vincent. First, he cared about Ms. Vincent’s condition, then thanked Vincent. Although he didn’t know what Yvonne’s apology looked like, Emelia still felt Vincent’s good intentions.
Vincent said in a very kind tone on the phone, “I am also the founder. I understand the anger of being cheated, so I made such a decision on my own.”
“I didn’t report her because I had seen through her at a glance. With Yvonne’s character, her company won’t last long.” Vincent slowly analyzed Emelia. “So what if her father is rich? No matter what kind of business she runs, she cannot go far only by the power of money.”
“Yes.” Emelia agreed with Vincent’s words.
Therefore, Vincent asked Yvonne to apologize to her first and let Emelia vent her anger. As for Yvonne and her company, the reality would teach her how to behave in the future.
After the official conversation, Vincent suddenly asked Emelia, “Emelia, how old are you this year?”
Although Emelia was puzzled why Vincent suddenly asked her this question, she still answered honestly, “Twenty-six years old.”
Vincent paused and continued to ask, “Then when will your birthday be?”
“January 10.” Emelia replied.
Vincent fell silent again. Emelia asked in confusion, “Mr. Longerich, why did you want to know my birthday?”
Vincent smiled and said, “Nothing. I just somehow felt that we were like old friends.”
Emelia was extremely happy. “Thank you.”
In fact, her impression of Vincent was also very good. Somehow, she always felt that Vincent had an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
Although she had never seen Vincent before, Vincent was also Emelia’s idol, that day when she saw him, she had a better impression of Vincent.
Emelia felt that Vincent was the only perfect man in her dream.
He was handsome, elegant, and talented. The most important thing was that he had a deep affection for his wife for decades.
After Vincent asked her a few questions, they hung up the phone without saying anything.
The next morning, Emelia arrived at the Old Time Cafe as promised. This cafe was located on the top floor of Ezra’s company. The entire floor belonged to this cafe.
It was no wonder that Ezra placed it in a coffee shop that sold elegant environment and had a high taste.
As soon as Emelia stepped into the coffee shop, she saw Yvonne waving at her smugly from a seat not far away by the window.
Emelia was too lazy to talk to her. She had an appointment with Yvonne at ten o’clock, but at 9:30, Yvonne called her and said that she had arrived. The consumption had begun to count, so she covered her wallet.
“Dear!” With a cheer, a beautiful and lovely girl dashed out of the bar. Giving Emelia a bear hug, she lifted her off the ground and spun around.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
Emelia was speechless.
With Annie’s strength, Emelia finally believed that she was a Taekwondo black belt.
Seeing that Emelia had such a close relationship with Annie, the chief barista, Yvonne who was sitting not far away felt gloomy and embarrassed.
