She couldn't help but notice his usual cold demeanor.
How could she feel any sense of pity for someone like him?
Loraine shook her head, trying to rid herself of the thought.
As they sat at the coffee shop, the waiter approached them and asked what they wanted. He enthusiastically
recommended their couple’s set.
“You two just cat the right time. We are offering a set for couples. Buy one and get one free!”
Loraine quickly clarified, “We are not a couple!”

The coffee shop was filled with the sweet melody of a piano playing
Love Story, which only added to the awkwardness of the situation.
The waiter misinterpreted Loraine’s response and looked at them with an ambiguous expression.
To dispel the awkward atmosphere, Loraine decided to order two cups of coffee. “We need to talk about
business.”
The waiter persisted, “But you can also give the set for couples a try.
You won't regret it.”
“No, thanks!”
Once Loraine had finished, Marco spoke up at last.
“I'll have one with sugar and one without, please.”
Loraine let out a sigh of relief as the tension in the air dissipated.

She wanted to ask Marco more about what was going on, but the awkward atmosphere made it difficult. She
didn’t want to pry too much.
Loraine took a deep breath to calm herself down and began unfolding the document she had prepared.
Once she got into a working state, she forgot all about her earlier strange idea and instead focused on carefully
analyzing the document.
“In the future, Cheap and Fine Group will be located within our business district. This presents an opportunity for
us to create a trading hub and develop commercial properties around it...”
She appeared to be glowing with confidence and professionalism, speaking eloquently and confidently.
However, Marco wasn't listening to her at all.
