When fate plays its hand (Miranda)

Chapter 0061

Miranda had loved Bartovian food served on the second floor of the cafeteria when she’d been a student. The cafeteria lady serving food. there had a chubby face and had radiated warmth whenever she’d smiled.

Every time she’d seen Miranda, she’d chat for a bit before generously adding an extra helping of meatloaf on her plate.

From a distance, Miranda spotted the same window where the cafeteria lady worked. Nothing had changed since her college days.

Miranda wasn’t sure if the lady would remember her since it had been. three years after her graduation.

She went over and lined up. The cafeteria lady was busy serving food and didn’t say a word, but Miranda could feel the extra weight on her plate when she got served.

Paul swiped his card to pay for the food, and they found a place to sit.

Paul had been standing behind her in line. He remembered seeing how the lady’s annoyed expression had turned into a smile when she’d noticed Miranda.
