Chapter 369 - Meeting Someone (I)

" Meeting someone? Who?" Luo Dan asked in curiosity. She was expecting an explanation from her but what Jia Fei said, baffled her.

" You'll know when you see that person." Jia Fei responded curtly. Her response was short and cold, which surprised Luo Dan. The person who usually blabbers nonsense for hours was cutting the conversion like this. 

" Are you being serious right now? Now you're not even telling me about it? Jia Fei, that's not fair."

" I always share everything with you. How can you not tell me things in advance?" Luo Dan was hurt by how secretive Jia Fei was being right now. They never hide things from each other and always share everything.

" Don't tell me you're going to introduce your boyfriend to me?" Luo Dan asked suddenly. She was not sure but the way Jia Fei was acting these days looked suspicious. 

She always looks busy on her phone and even smiles frequently while chatting to someone god knows who. 

Is it the same man who was having a blind date with some other girl that day? She thought.

Jia Fei pursed her lips upon hearing her ridiculous question and rolled eyes at her before turning to the employees who were keenly watching the drama unfolding. 

" And…You guys," Jia Fei said to them, which startled them and made them stay on edge.

" Yes, Mam." One of the girls responded while clasping her hands nervously, visibly afraid by Jia Fei's cold demeanor. 

" You guys are done for today. You can leave." Jia Fei said, 

" But Mam, you rented the cafe. In that way…you're our customer. We should stay back and serve you. How can we leave like-" The girl tried to say it well as she wanted to get into the good books of Jia Fei. If she works hard and didn't take this leave that was being given to her, wouldn't she come out as a hardworking and sincere employee? 

Otherwise, who wouldn't love to grab such an opportunity to go out with friends and rest on weekends, like today? 

" Because I don't want you guys to be here. Is that enough reason to make you guys pack your bags and leave?" Jia Fei said coldly, making the girl shudder at her unconcerned attitude. 

Her sharp gaze and indifference towards others are what make all the girls fall for her and be afraid of her at the same time. When she used to be active as a member of The Queens, all the fans were charmed by her indifferent-girl-crushing attitude. 

In the eyes of the fans….whatever she does, looks charming and beautiful to them. Even if she swears at them, they will gladly accept it and some might even get a tattoo of it on their bodies. 

They are afraid of her and fall hard for her at the same time. What kind of hate-love feeling was that? The girl wondered. 

No doubt Jia Fei used to rule everyone's heart, be it, boys or girls.

" Ah, Yes. We'll take…a leave then." The girl nodded in panic and glanced at Luo Dan for confirmation who waved her hand in passing, telling her to do what Jia Fei says. 

Luo Dan sat on one of the tables as she watched the employees scurrying out of the cafe' one by one after packing up their bags and calling it a day. 

-

When the last employee was leaving, she noticed someone standing outside the cafe and that person was about to go inside when she stopped her, " Ah, Excuse me. Are you here to get your coffee? I am sorry but we're closed today."

" Hmm? Closed? Already? Which cafe closes down on a weekend." The person mocked upon hearing the girl's excuse. 

The girl gritted her teeth upon hearing the other person's mocking words and said, " We're not close because we're not working but because someone has already rented the place and wants their privacy. If you want, you can visit us some other day and I will give you a discount." The girl tried her level best to be as polite as possible. 

The other person shook their head and said, " No need. I am not here to drink coffee. Your boss called me to come over. She is inside, right?" 

"Hmm?" The girl was confused upon hearing her question. Came to meet the boss? Then she remembered Jia Fei talking about something coming over for a meeting. 

Before she could process the situation and answer her, the person pushed open the door and entered the cafe. 

Luo Dan who had her head down on the table looked up upon hearing the ringing sound of the bells that were hanging at the entrance. 

" Who is it- Oh! Xu Nuan? What are you doing here?" Her frown instantly turned into a smile to see Xu Nuan who just entered the cafe. She stood up and went over to greet her. 

The girl who followed Xu Nuan stopped in her steps to see Luo Dan's reaction. " It's okay. I know her. You can leave." Luo Dan waved a hand at the girl and allowed her to leave without any worry. 

" Is it okay for you to close down on weekends? Shouldn't you be open till late on weekends instead?" Xu Nuan asked in confusion after the girl left. 

Luo Dan sighed in exasperation and said, " That's what I am saying. But don't worry. Jia Fei has rented the whole place, so today's payment will be compensated from her pocket." She laughed after making that remark. 

" She rented the whole place? Why?"

" Because she has an appointment with someone. God knows who that person is…." Luo Dan sighed and shook her head to clear her thoughts before offering her to sit, " By the way, what brought you here today? Were you guys planning to meet here today? But what to do….we won't be able to attend to any customers today." 

Since Sun Ya's scandal, the cafe has become their unofficial meeting spot aka hanging out spot. The girls and Xu Nuan frequently come here to discuss many other things and sometimes the girls come alone to hang out. 

Xu Nuan placed her sling bag on the table and stared at Luo Dan in confusion, " I am not here to meet with girls."

" Then? Did you have something to do nearby?"

" It's not that. Jia Fei called me yesterday and asked me to come over to the cafe. That's why I am here. To meet her." Xu Nuan explained. 

"...."

Luo Dan blinked in confusion and asked, " She called you for a meeting? So….the person that she is supposed to meet….is you?" Luo Dan asked in surprise, not knowing how to accept this information.

" I…am not sure?" Xu Nuan responded, seeing the exaggerated reaction of Luo Dan. 

Even Luo Dan didn't believe that Jia Fei would rent the whole place just to meet with Xu Nuan. There must be someone else coming over later in the day as well. 

" Haha, Seems like she has some work to do with you." Luo Dan said while laughing awkwardly. 

Just as they were discussing who else that other person could be, Jia Fei walked out from the kitchen while holding three glasses of iced black coffee in a tray and a piece of strawberry cheesecake and a piece of brownie. 

When she saw Xu Nuan sitting together with Luo Dan, she smiled at her and said, " You're here, already? That's great. I just made iced black coffee. Drink it before the ice melts." 

As said, she walks to the table and puts down the tray before serving them their drinks and cakes respectively. 

Luo Dan and Xu Nuan were perplexed to see Jia Fei's unusually friendly attitude. Since when did she start to serve them their drinks? That too with a smile? 

More than Xu Nuan, Luo Dan was more shocked to see Jia Fei smiling warmly rather than acting cranky as she did just a while ago. What's wrong with this girl? 

" You called Xu Nuan over for something? Do you have something to do with her? Also…when is the person coming with whom you have an appointment?" Luo Dan asked Jia Fei, who pulled a chair for her and took a seat next to her, facing Xu Nuan. 

Xu Nuan was also waiting for Jia Fei to speak as she was curious too, why did she suddenly call her to come over to the cafe? That's so unlike her. 

When she picked up her glass and took a sip of her coffee, she heard Jia Fei say, " She is the one. There is no one else coming today." Jia Fei said while pointing at Xu Nuan with her eyes. 

"..." 

A bewildered stillness filled the room. Both Luo Dan and Xu Nuan were confused by Jia Fei's surprising response. 

" So….you booked the whole place, just to meet Xu Nuan? Are you crazy? You can simply meet her anytime. What's the need to rent the whole place?" Luo Dan said in a low voice, through her gritting teeth. Does Jia Fei think that booking a whole place is a joke? 

She is going to go bankrupt at this rate if she wastes her money like this. Who rents a whole place just to meet a friend? Xu Nuan and her are not even friends, seeing how they act whenever they meet. 

Jia Fei ignored Luo Dan who was burning in fury and turned to Xu Nuan who was staring at them in confusion, " Of Course, I have to treat her properly. Special guests should be given special treatment."

"Don't you think so, Ms. Xu Nuan? Or…Gu Nuan?"

"Ah…wait….Do you also have….some other names as well? Should I call you with that one? Hmm?" Jia Fei asked while picking up her cup to take a sip as well. 

Xu Nuan: "....."
