âDid she tell you all of this?â Karl asked.
âYes. So, why do you want to invest in Daydream?â Anna replied.
Karl laughed and said, âIâm just doing this to show everyone what Iâm capable of. Peace always thinks Iâm a slacker, and Wayne canceled the project of our new company. So | had no choice but to...â
âPeace didnât think of you that way at all.â Anna thought carefully about his words before asking, âWhat did you just say? What do you mean that Wayne isnât going to start a new business? He had never told me that before!â
It wasnât until then that Karl realized he had spilled the beams, so he covered his mouth regretfully.
âAre you guys hiding something from me?â Anna asked, her gaze fixed on Karl.
ae At night, the temperature in Cliatin dropped below zero. And there were few people on the street. In the morning, the weather forecast showed that there would be a snowstorm in the evening. But it hadnât yet snowed at 11 pm.
All day, Anthony hadnât said much to Chelsea during work After the last customer had left, Anthonyâs expression returned to seriousness. Anthony then began to wipe the cash register clean. He wiped it slowly and seemed to be in deep thought.
âYouâve wiped the register five times already. It will melt if you keep doing it.â Chelsea pouted and said. Her demeanor remained unfriendly, 534 Will You Kick Me out?
534 Will You Kick Me out? âDid she tell you all of this?â Karl asked.

âYouâve wiped the register five times already. It will melt if you keep doing it.â Chelsea pouted and said. Her demeanor remained unfriendly, 534 Will You Kick Me out? and her expression cold.
Hearing that, Anthony froze for a second. He wanted to tell her what he was thinking, but he expression. âAll right, then Iâll go clean the coffee machine,â he said. He then wiped the coffee machine with the rag.
Chelsea kept her arms folded as she stared at him, then she said coldly, âYouâve wiped it three times, too.â
Instantly, Anthony stopped walking.
âDo you want to say something to me?â Chelsea asked. She didnât seem to be asking him but rather forcing him to speak.
âYes, | have something to ask you about,â he said briefly after a pause.
âYou can ask me right now.â
Fixing his gaze on the girl in front of him, he didnât know which of the many questions he wanted to ask should come first. What is your name? What brought you here? Why donât you bring your ID card? Why did you decide to visit this small town? Are you a college student? How old are you? /s that necklace yours? Who gave it to you? He thought.
Eventually, Anthony decided to go with the most basic one, âWhatâs your name?â
Chelsea fixed her gaze on him, expecting him to ask another question. âChelsea,â she finally replied.
â| mean, your real name. | gave you the name Chelsea. | just want to know...â Anthony didnât finish his sentence because he couldnât look Chelsea in the eyes anymore. âAnd how long do you intend to stay?â He asked once more.
âIt depends on when youâre going to kick me out,â Shrugging, she 534 Will You Kick Me out? answered.
Anthony shook his head and said helplessly, âNo, Iâm not kicking you out! Please ignore Franz. Heâs just too vigilant. Iâll change the code tomorrow, so he wonât be able to get in.â He then looked Chelsea in the eyes and said, âYou can stay in my house as long as you want if you donât mind.â
After the conversation was over, Anthony started restocking the shelves. After finishing this work, he looked at his watch and said, âWe can leave now. Nobody would be here tonight.â
Chelsea glanced at the wall clock, then shook her head. âItâs not yet time to switch shifts. Sally couldnât come tonight. | promised to switch shifts with her.â
âThatâs fine. Iâll tell the store manager. The manager didnât intend to keep the store open in such bad weather, anyways.â
As they were leaving, it began to snow. Anthony wheeled his bike ahead, and Chelsea followed close behind.
âItâs snowing.â He said.
Chelsea asked, looking at the back of his car, âWhen did you put a back seat on your bike?â
â| put one on yesterday because | thought | could take you on my bike,â Anthony explained, scratching his brow.
âLetâs go,â Chelsea said, putting on her backpack and pulling on the back of her bike. She stared at Anthony quietly. She didnât say anything, but her body language suggested she wanted Anthony to take her on his bike.
Knowing that, Anthonyâs eyes glowed. âCome on, letâs go,â he said right away. 534 Will You Kick Me out? A The street was spacious, with stores and restaurants on both sides. A few college students walked down the street, all wrapped in thick scarves and hats.
Anthony rode slowly because his bike was old. And Chelsea tugged tightly on his down jacket to prevent herself from falling.
When she put on her hat, she felt warm. She smiled, as she had never smiled so happily for the past few days. This is the life /
should be leading. Itâs a little difficult, but everything is real, She thought.
The blizzard lasted all night. By midnight, the entire city had been blanketed in snow. When Anthony awoke the next morning, he noticed snow plows were working on the road.
Anthony called the store manager to tell him that he and Chelsea were taking time off. He then made breakfast for two and waited for Chelsea to get up.
âHow about | take you to lunch today? Iâll introduce you to some of my friends. Theyâre all good people,â With a smile, Anthony said to the girl.
Chelsea took a seat at the table. âAll right,â she said. And her eyes widened when she heard the news on the TV.
Seeing that, Anthony reached for the remote and attempted to change the channel, but she stopped him. âWhere is this place?â
she asked.
âThat commercial development is being built on Fleet Street. Is there a problem?â
Meanwhile, news reporter was at the construction site, as seen on TV. âA construction project on Fleet Street collapsed last night at 2:10 am. The fire department is doing everything possible to search and rescue, and there have been no casualties. The Carousel Group owns the project, and the groupâs leader visited the site this morning to assess the situation in person. Weâll keep tuned...â
Then the photographer focused his lens on a young woman in the distance. And the reporter approached her quickly and then pointed the microphone at her. However, the bodyguards stopped the reporters. And the woman used her hands to block the camera, saying, âSorry, no comment.â
The bouncer knocked over the camera, causing the screen to go dark. The news screen returned to the indoor broadcast in the next second. The next second, the host said, âIn order to gain profit, the Carousel Group has done something illegal. The head of the Group is not yet 18 years old, so we canât judge whether he can take responsibility for this matter. But there is no doubt that the Carousel Group will be solely responsible for this matter.â
Shocked, Chelsea placed her fork firmly on the table.
âWhatâs wrong?â Anthony asked Chelsea in surprise.
Chelsea frowned and asked, âWhere is Fleet Street? Iâm going there.â
