89

Xavier had just finished signing a contract at a high-end club, but he couldn't shake the uneasy feeling in his heart. His mind was filled with images of Yasmine and Yonas standing together. As he left the club, he noticed a long line outside a nearby desser shop, which was buzzing with activity.

His assistant, noticing his glance, said, "Mr. Flynn, this is a famous dessert shop in Soucrity called Dessert Oasis. Many people drive for hours just to buy desserts here. It's become a popular spot, but they limit their supply, so many people leave empty-handed." Xavier thought, 'Dessert Oasis? The name rings a bell. Where have I heard it before? Then he remembered it. That day, as soon as he came home from work. Yasmine excitedly showed off the things she'd bought-desserts of various sizes laid out on the coffee table. "Xavier, look! This is the famous custard tart waited in line for three hours to get it. You have to try it," she said with a radiant smile before gently picking up the custard tart and holding it to his lips. But he only glanced at it coldly and said, "I don't have time. I need to work. Don't bother me."

He remembered how her eyes dimmed instantly, but he didn't care at the time. After all, he didn't like Yasmine, and her feelings didn't matter to him.

He never cared whether his words hurt her or appreciated the trouble she went through just to let him try the tarts.

The memory flooded Xavier's mind, and he felt as if the untouched custard tart was still at his lips, emanating a faint, sweet

aroma

"Do they sell custard tarts?" he asked suddenly.

The assistant, taken aback, quickly replied, "Yes, I think it's their most famous item."

"Go buy some, and get a variety of other desserts too,' said Xavier

While the assistant queued up, Xavier touched his chest and felra strange sensation, as if his heart had been torn into countless pieces, and he was desperate to fill those cracks.

He thought to himself, 'I don't like Yasmine. I'm just trying to ease the guilt that haunts me and stop feeling so.... uncomfortable
