Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 6

"Lucinda."

As Lucinda entered the coffee shop, her business partner and friend, Cecilia Yates, came up to greet her, pointing to the man sitting at the corner table and whispering, "Your ex-boyfriend is here, and he's been waiting for a while."

Ex-boyfriend?

Lucinda looked over, and sure enough, it was her ex-boyfriend George Mitchell, with whom she had been together for four years before he left her for a rich girl.

"What's he doing here?" Lucinda murmured.

They had broken up half a year ago, and she was slowly emerging from the shadow of that split, but that didn't mean she wanted to see George.

Cecilia frowned, "I dunno why he's here. He asked for a glass of water when he came in and has been sitting there like a statue."

Cecilia and Lucinda were friends, and she had witnessed the entire relationship between Lucinda and George. She had no respect for men like George, who dumped their girlfriends for their careers. When they broke up, Lucinda was devastated, barely speaking, which worried Cecilia and made her resent George.

"He's a customer, so you should treat him well. But remember, we're charging him for that water."

Half a year later, Lucinda was able to remain calm upon seeing George.

As Cecilia had once comforted her, "If someone else can take him away, he's not for you from the beginning. It's better to see his true colors before marriage than being betrayed after tying the knot." Cecilia chuckled, "Don't worry, I'll make sure to charge him."

Lucinda took a stride, heading into the store.
