"Yes, what a coincidence." Emmeline was at a loss for words.

"Indeed. It's such a coincidence." Janie's face suddenly turned pale.

"Excuse me, miss, the cashier is over there." The sales clerk next to Janie said to her.

Janie handed the bag to the sales clerk. "I'm sorry, I don't think I'll be needing this anymore."

"There's nothing between us. There's nothing between me and her as well. What's there to misunderstand?" Benjamin said.
