Chapter 1840

Leonard, a cheerful and outgoing young man, worked skillfully at the machine while apologizing profusely. "Sorry about this. I don't know what's up with this machine today.

Karina's cheeks flushed slightly, and she opened her mouth to clarify, but Wilfred cut in first. "Thank you. It's a rare day off, so I thought I'd take her out to relax."

If you buy a large popcorn, you'll get a free small popcorn in either chocolate or caramel flavor. The chocolate popcorn is made with imported chocolate, rich and creamy, while the caramel is crafted in-house, perfectly sweet and aromatic."

Wilfred nodded politely. "Is that so? Then I suppose we're fortunate."
