Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 53 Toland University Computer Science Genius, George

Upon hearing Violeta's words, Zelena glanced at George with contempt and discreetly rolled her eyes.

Coincidentally, two people left the shop at that moment, freeing up two seats.

Violeta gestured for George to sit, saying, "Please find a seat and wait for me. We'll talk after I finish my work."

George nodded and walked over to the round table, taking a seat.

However, Zelena was not pleased. "Sis, I'm the one who paid. Why don't you let me sit there?"

Violeta glanced at her and replied, "There's still one seat left. Can't you walk there yourself? Do you need someone to carry you?"

Zelena narrowed her eyes and said, "I don't want to sit with other people! I'm a germaphobe."

That was just an excuse.

If George were replaced with Nolan, Zelena would have eagerly rushed over long ago.

She simply disliked George.

Zelena's implicit meaning was that she hoped George would vacate the seat for her to sit alone.

But that would not happen.

Violeta scanned Zelena up and down and spoke in a cold tone. "You're a germaphobe? Then you shouldn't have come out. Yet you're out here polluting the air for everyone. No one has complained about you yet. What makes you think you have the right to complain?"

"Why you ...

Fiona chimed in, "Who do you think you are? Just because you paid doesn't mean you can be picky and act all high and mighty in the store. There are many other customers here, and we're not here to serve just you. If you're a germaphobe, then pay and go home quickly!"

Zelena was speechless.

Kaylee chuckled on the side.

Fiona is so fierce!

Sitting at the table, George heard their conversation.

A warm feeling filled his heart.
