Joseph and I came out of the museum. We had barely taken a few steps when someone called out to me.

“Miss, please stop!”

I turned around, saw the man who had bought the box at the auction just now and I smiled. “Hi!”

He nodded. “Miss, may I buy you a cuppa?”

I glanced at Joseph to indicate that I would like to go. He had just told this man that we have another box.

Joseph nodded to indicate that I can accept the offer. I nodded and looked at the man. “Mister, may I know your name?”

“My surname is Bates; you may call me Yuri.” He spoke with the smile of a trustworthy man.

I nodded with a smile. “I’m Scarlett Stovall. Nice to meet you.”

He smiled and gestured with his hand, “This way, please, Ms. Stovall!”

We followed him into a cafe bistro and seated ourselves. There was a live music performance going on.
