Felicia pressed the answer button. "Hello?"
There was a brief silence on the other end, followed by Sebastian's tired and hoarse voice. "Felicia, where are you? I'll come find you."
She thought for a moment and replied, "Let's meet at the same café as last time."
"Alright."
After arriving at the entrance of the café, Felicia asked Stanley to stay in the car while she went in alone. It was the same table as last time. It was by the window, where the light was bright.
When Felicia entered, she immediately spotted Sebastian, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
He had lost a lot of weight. His handsome face had sharper angles, his eyes were bloodshot, and he carried an air of weariness from his travels. Yet his cold and distant demeanor remained unchanged.
Felicia sat across from him.
When the waiter came to take their order, Felicia declined. She was worried that if the conversation turned sour, Sebastian might attempt to splash the coffee in her face again.
Although he managed to restrain himself the last time, there was no guarantee he would do so this time.
Unaware of Felicia's concerns, Sebastian casually ordered two cups. When the coffee was served, the two simply stared at each other through the rising steam.
After a long pause, Sebastian was the first to speak. His voice carried a deep hoarseness to it as he asked, "How have you been?"
Was he trying to catch up on old times?
Felicia smiled faintly and cut straight to the point. "Let's get this over with. I'm sure you asked me out to ask some questions. What is it?"
Sebastian was silent for a moment, his dark eyes fixed on her.
