Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 1416

Sue had never come across someone as rude as this boss. He was yelling so loudly at her, at a decibel that exceeded what she was used to. Her hand trembled in fright.

Knowing that her daughter was standing right next to her, Sue forced herself to remain composed.

Cecilia, however, thought her mother was just like a little girl. To think Sue would get so easily frightened by someone yelling.

Cecilia was about to take over the call, when the man said over the phone, “It’s true we’re running a business, but there are times when mistakes happen. Since things have come to this point, just don’t come again.”

With that, he hung up. The phone beeped, leaving Sue and Cecilia staring silently at each other. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Cecilia was shocked, too. Was that really the man who ran such a booming business?!

She heard that the café was located on a plot of land where all past businesses that opened there closed very shortly after. The café was the only business that stood strong, raking in the money in the very same location.

In fact, it had become a must-visit place in Richburgh.

She thought that the boss of such a place would be as cultured and gentlemanly as her father. Yet, he turned out to be such an impolite old man.

Before, Cecilia thought of asking her mother to contact him and learn how he ran a business. But now, seeing her mother’s face turning red with anger made her give up on the idea.

Perhaps one had to have such a character to do well in business?

Cecilia, who never knew work, simply couldn’t figure it out.

She could have asked her mother, but right now, she didn’t dare to mention the roadside café to Sue.

She even had to sneak back to her own room.

A pity that aside from Sue, she had no one else to discuss the topic with. Even if she couldn’t discuss things, she was fine if she could just share her interests.

Before, when she fell sick, many of her friends distanced themselves from her.

It was also during that period that Cecilia saw clearly who her true friends were. Many people started calling her a princess after a few months of not contacting them.

Fine.

She decided it was better that she stopped hanging out with them.

The only person she was left with to talk to was Larry, whom she had a good time chatting with at the blind date today.

If she ignored his appearance and focused only on what he said and the insights he shared during their blind date, he was a pretty good catch.

But just as Cecilia lay on bed, Sue rushed in and warned her, “Don’t talk to that man ever again! You know that man wasn’t the one I wanted to introduce to you. It’ll be terrible if he turns out to be a murderer or something.”

Cecilia rolled around on her bed with a doll in hand, shocked by her mother’s thoughts. “How could that be?! The café staff made it clear that everyone who can make it to the blind dates there have no criminal records, come from decent family backgrounds, and are at least relatively wealthy.”

Sue rolled her eyes. “Don’t talk about the café! Just look at the kind of person its boss is! I’ll never let you go to such places ever again. The kind of people you see there!”

She became angrier the more she thought about it, and ended up staying longer in Cecilia’s room and lecturing about manners before finally leaving.

Cecilia’s head was spinning. She didn’t have the mental capacity to obey Sue’s instructions after she left.

She immediately texted Larry, complaining, “Goodness, I’m frustrated to death by my mom!”

She appended it with a crying emoticon.

Larry didn’t expect to see a text from Cecilia when he heard his phone beep.

He washed his hands leisurely and glanced at his phone after using the washroom. Damn!

His eyes widened.
