Enna Clark had never trusted Jacob Clark from the start, which is why she chose a relatively quiet coffee shop near the City Center.
First of all, the place had high foot traffic; there was no way Jacob could do anything like kidnapping there.
Second, the coffee shopâs owner was Olivia Lewisâs friend, and she knew him as well. It was even less likely that Jacob could drug her coffee!
Third, even though it was in the City Center, she could sit in the ownerâs usual corner because she knew him. That corner had potted plants that acted like a small private booth, separating it from the rest of the coffee shop and offering relative peace.
She never wanted to assume the worst in someone, but when it came to the Clark family, she couldnât help but be extra cautious.
Upon entering the coffee shop, Enna ordered a juice, and Jacob ordered a coffee. The server went to prepare them.
Jacob closed the menu, and with an affectionate tone said, âI remember you used to like cappuccinos. Why donât you drink them anymore?â
âThat was a long time ago,â Enna replied, holding her lemon water, and gave him a brief glance, âPresident Clark can speak now.â
Jacob placed his hands on the table, not in a hurry to speak, and instead said, âLetâs wait a moment, Iâll talk to you after the drinks arrive.â
It wasnât long before the server brought over the drinks.
A glass of juice appeared in front of Enna.
She frowned at the juice before her, and even though she felt it was unlikely that Jacob had the chance to tamper with it, she still didnât touch the glass.
Instead, she looked at Jacob and said, âThe drinks are here, President Clark. If youâre not going to talk, Iâll leave.â@@novelbin@@
By saying she would leave, she didnât mean it casually but reached for her purse beside her, ready to make her exit.
Jacob had wanted to delay further, but seeing her unhesitating approach to actually leaving, he clenched his teeth and squeezed out a smile, âIâll talk. Donât rush, I just took a sip of coffee and wanted to spend a bit more time with you. Itâs been over a year since weâve seen each other, and Iâve missed you.â
Enna had never felt so disgusted before, but as soon as Jacob said he missed her, she felt a sickening sense of revulsion and retorted, âMiss me? Why donât you drop dead?â
Jacobâs face stiffened, as if his inner thoughts were unexpectedly exposed by Enna and he couldnât immediately mask his expression. However, he soon laughed it off, chiding, âWhat are you saying, child? How could I possibly think that?â
Enna didnât care what he really thought; she just wanted to know what Jacob had said about her and what her mother had said about her. Impatient, she interrupted Jacobâs attempt at a false display of familial affection and got straight to the point, âIs President Clark going to talk or not?â
Jacob momentarily wondered if she knew something, for how else could she appear so anxious from start to finish?
But then he thought it impossible that Enna would know anything.
He calmed down, stopped beating around the bush, and looked up to say, âYour mom found me at the company when she was eight months pregnant with you. At that time, she already knew I was married, with a wife and children. I thought she came to ask me for money, you know how the Lewis family is, especially what kind of person Michelle Lewis is. So, I was very rude to her at that time. There was a meeting I had to attend, so I told her to wait outside for me. She waited two hours before I finished the meeting and saw her.â
