Chapter 193 Miss, Answer the Phone

In the following days, Abigail frequently visited the tea house, becoming a regular customer at Josh’s shop. Once she was finished with her embroidery work for the day, she would head to ‘Serenity’ to drink tea and brainstorm her designs while indulging in some pastries.

Josh would sit across from her at the table, diligently working on his woodcarvings. Currently, he was carving a character from an anime, a commissioned piece.

When she heard this unexpected comment, she nearly choked on her tea. She suppressed her urge to cough and replied, “Yes, I don’t pay much attention to things outside the design community.”

“Well, that can be a good thing,” he said.
