202-Everybody Moved On
Beatrice's POV:
Zane and Maddox left instead of ordering anything. I wasn't too surprised because I knew Maddox had
only come here to vent his feelings to me.
"Where is Maura?" Pamela walked into the kitchen with empty plates in her hands and asked for
Maura.
"I don’t know. When I walked out of the restroom, I found her gone,’ I told Pamela, watching her look
around for Maura.
"She never leaves like this," Pamela said, concerned, as I shrugged.
"Maybe she went to her house to get something?" I suggested, and Pamela reluctantly nodded. There
was not much we could do about it.
"Ah!" Pamela let out a sigh of relief when checking her phone. "She had left me a message," she
informed.
"What did she say?" I asked Pamela, who didn't show me the message but looked extremely pleased
about something. I knew there were some things they wouldn’t share with me, and since I was too new,
I didn’t force them or try to make them uncomfortable by eavesdropping on their conversations.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"She indeed went back to her home to get something.’ Pamela forced a smile on her lips and
immediately broke eye contact with him. I knew at that moment that she didn't want to share it with me.
"If you don’t mind, can I also take some time off?" I turned to her and asked her with high hopes. I
needed to call Akin and ask him about Helel's body.
"What for?’ Pamela grabbed the dough and asked me with a bit of an attitude. I realized she wanted to
know everything we were doing. It was as if she wanted us to rely on her, and that was not something I
would do.

I appreciated her for being nice to me and wanting to be a shoulder for me to cry on, but sharing
everything with her was something only Maura could do. I believed in keeping my secrets to myself.
"I have something to do," I said, not disclosing anything to her. She stopped kneading and raised her
face to stare at the wall ahead as she gave it a thought and then shrugged.
"Fine. Go ahead! But come back in a few minutes. I cannot take care of everything alone,’ she warned
me while I took my apron off in a hurry and exited the café.
I was only given a few minutes, so I needed to hurry and not waste my time. I haven't even walked
away from the café when I watched somebody standing at a distance and watching me.
"Markus?" I whispered in confusion, "What is he doing out there?" I frowned at the way he was
standing there when his mother told me he doesn't even walk past the tall grass.
I haven't been able to process what he did with me the other day and now this. Instead of ignoring it, I
walked briskly into the kitchen and called for Pamela.
"Pamela!" My voice was loud and filled with urgency.
"What happened? How did you come back so soon?" She taunted but was obviously joking.
"Markus is here.” The moment she heard me say her son's name, her body shuddered, and the smile
from her lips faded away.
"What? My Markus?" She couldn't even believe she heard that.
"Yeah! He is outside the café," I confirmed, grabbing her hand to drag her out with me. She has told me
he cannot be outside. Then why the heck was he walking around so casually?
She didn't try to get out of my grasp and followed me like crazy. The moment he was outside the café, I
realized I should have kept an eye on him because he was gone.
"Where is he?’ she asked, looking around and then at me. She seemed to be judging me.
"He was here, I swear!" I said, feeling like a fool for believing he would stand here and wait for me to
call his mother on him.
"Hm!‘ She crossed her arms over her chest and raised her brow, biting the inside of her cheek and
keeping her eyes on me.
"What? you are not thinking that I —’ I sighed when she nodded, making me understand that she was
suggesting that I lied on purpose.
"What would I get out of it?" It was frustrating that she wasn’t even saying anything and was just
looking at my face with such a look.

away from her.
"Listen, little missy! I have been nothing but kind enough to keep your troublesome ass and your good-
for-nothing mother at my home. But I am warning you to stay out of my son’s business. You have been
causing US a lot of issues, and I am beginning to get irritated with it," she yammered while pointing her
finger in my face. Since I didn't have proof to show her, I remained silent.
"Now go finish whatever you wanted to do and come back to work. You are not getting paid for
nothing,’ she muttered grumpily before stomping her foot and walking back into the café.
Since there was not much I could do in this case, I rushed across the road and ended up in the phone
booth.
I dialed Akin's number, and it took him a few minutes to answer my call.
"Hm?" he said, sounding super drunk or maybe sleepy.
"I-,’ before I could even make a noise and tell him it was me calling him, I heard someone from behind
him that stopped me from uttering a word.
"Come back to bed. Who is calling you so early in the morning?" The girl sounded annoyed when
questioning Akin.
"I will take this call and then return to bed.’ He told her, making me wonder who he was sharing a bed
with.
"No! You are not doing that. Today is nobody's day," she seemed to have snatched the phone out of his
hands while he didn't even object, 'Whoever you are, call later." She said that and hung up on me.
I had no words to say, and I couldn't call him back again.
