Chapter 366

Mike had been single for over a decade.

His sister, Sarah, always felt a twinge of guilt about it. If she could play matchmaker and find him a partner, it would fulfill their parents' longstanding wish.

7-Eleven was bustling, thanks to its proximity to the local high school where exams were being held. The store was packed, with a long line snaking towards the cashier.

Mike picked up three umbrellas and three bottles of water, preparing to pay, when he spotted a familiar face across the aisle.

"No, that's alright, but thank you," she demurred.

"Don't worry about it. If I pay for you today, I'll still help someone else in need next time I'm here," Mike assured her.
