One More Chance by Jaycelle Rodriguez

Chapter 168: Her doubts

"I'm sorry, I'm late," I looked at Dana as I apologized for being late the next morning.

"No, it's fine, dear, I understand."

I put my bag on the table and sighed at the same time.

"Is there any progress?" She asked, giving me a cup of hot coffee.

But I just replied with a sad smile as I shook my head.

"Ohh... don't worry, he would certainly call you maybe one of these days," she patted me on the shoulder.

"Yeah, I just hope so,"

"How about asking his parents, have you tried it already?"

"Nope, I don't want to startle them with this news, but I will definitely call them once I find out what really is going on with Luke."

"Well, I agree, but I just hope you ask that man for an acceptable reason!"

"I will, Dana, I will!" I emphasized the last two words. "I just hope this time that I'm wrong and what I've been thinking since yesterday is wrong!" I formed my fists as the thought of that horrible idea came again into my mind.

"Don't think too much, Sam. I know he surely has a reason why he hasn't called you,"

And since today is Saturday, we have a double number of customers so, I decided to help our staff serving them. It's one of the great ways I could stop thinking of Luke even just for a day.

But I was just about to walk back to the counter after serving orders when I heard the sound of the door chimes. I slowly turned around to greet our new guest or guests maybe, but my smile automatically left my lips when I recognized who had entered the glass door. It's Lucy.

Yes, it's Lucy, Luke's former trainee, and employee. She walked slowly and seductively in my direction.

"Hi, Sam," she flushed me a fake smile. Yeah, I know it's fake because it hasn't even reached her ears.

And since she was still a customer despite her intentions of going to the cafe, I greeted her anyway with the same smile she gave me.
