Shadows of Destiny: A Tale of Liberation

Chapter 1923

Renee wasn't angry or surprised—she had expected that her friend might not come.

After half an hour, almost all the customers in the dessert shop had left except for her.

To anybody else, it looked like she was there for the free air-conditioning.

"Madam, you've been at the shop for more than two hours.

Do you need any help?" A waiter cover and asked kindly.

"I'm waiting for someone." Renee looked up awkwardly and added, "Givea taro tiramisu." "Umm...

Okay." The waiter nodded hesitantly and left.

Renee raised her brows, looking around.

They couldn't kick her out as long as she kept ordering food.

Renee took out her phone and texted her friend.

"Aren't you coming? The waiter said I've been here for too long...

But it's alright —I'm a shameless person.

I'll wait for you." She sent the message, but didn't get a reply.

Night was nearing, and the waiter kept glancing at Renee expectantly.

Finally, the windchat the door rang as the door opened, and someone walked in.

"Welcome!" The waiter greeted the customer enthusiastically.

The newcomer was a slim and gloomy woman with eyes like the moon.

"Madam, how many people are with you?" "The person I'm meeting is already here," the woman said calmly and

headed straight to Renee, who had waited there for almost half a day.

"There you are, Joanne!" Renee stood up and smiled brightly.

"I knew a kind person like you wouldn't ignore me." Joanne stood across Renee, her expression cautious as she

asked coldly, "Is there anything you want with me?" "Do | need a reason to see you?" Renee stood up and pulled

out the chair in front of Joanne.

She reached out to take Joanne's bag.

"Sit down.

You ca long way, so you shouldn't be standing around.

There are all kinds of tasty desserts in this shop you should try!" "Don't touch me." Joanne scowled guardedly.

She placed her bag beside her and slowly sat down.
