New beginning: Billionaire love story

Chapter 173 Second location

After that failed attempt of finding the person at the internet café, Matthew decided to head to the second location.

The sun has set, and the weather is not really friendly. As usual, London weather is doing their job.

Matthew parked from across the street. The bright light of the internet place are the only ones shining through compared to the other shop.

The second location is different than earlier. While the first location is located at a strategic place and near a city, the second one is located far from the city and in a more quiet environment. No different than the first one, there are still a lot of people going in and out of the internet café.

"It looks the same as earlier." He muttered to himself.

Matthew sat inside his car to observed the situation before going in. As he sat in the driver seat, for fifteen minutes, people are exiting and also entering. Couldn't wait for another minute, Matthew stepped out of the car.

The cold chilly night air hit his skin and he tightened his coat around his body.

He crossed the street and stood in front of the internet cafe, taking in the scene before going inside. The place was indeed different. It looked dirtier, if Matthew could say that. The windows were dusty, and he noticed one word from the neon sign was off, flickering intermittently.

"Ok, maybe a little bit different."

He sighed and opened the door. The smell of cigarettes hit his nostrils immediately, making him scrunch his nose. He walked up to the counter, feeling the eyes of two people who passed by him, staring at his outfit.

The young man behind the counter raised his brows as he stared at Matthew's outfit. His curiosity piqued, he asked, "What can I help you with?"

Matthew just realized that his formal attire looks so different than the other customer at the internet café.

Matthew didn't bother with chit chat and went straight to the point. "Have you seen anyone suspicious or weird coming here?"

The young man shrugged. "Look around," he said, gesturing to the eclectic mix of people engrossed in their screens. "Everyone that comes to the internet café is weird."
