A Graduation Gift

'Well, forget about it. Amanda is sick now. Rufus takes care of her as a friend. That's all.'

Moments later, she braced herself up and decided to stop thinking about them.

She felt bored staying at home alone. So she decided to go out and took a walk. When she passed a bakery, an inviting delicious scent of bread and pastries diffused out from it. Cassandra couldn't resist the smell and walked in, intending to pick up some pieces of bread.

While she was inside the bakery and her head low while choosing among the variety of bread, the door opened. A woman came in, then she said happily, "Come here, Rufus. The bread here is super good. I want to buy some!"

Through the bread shelves, Cassandra saw Amanda walking into the bakery. She was stunned at the sight of her.

Her body was held frozen while her brain started to work quickly. Immediately, she turned around and hid in a forgotten corner.

Rufus walked in with an uninterested expression on his face.

He had planned to leave after paying a visit to Amanda. But unexpectedly, Amanda changed her clothes secretly and claimed that she wanted to go out to have a walk. Rufus was unable to make her change her mind. So he had to go out and keep her accompany.

He stood beside the cashier counter and didn't step inside further. The waitress's face turned red and her heart beat fast when Rufus leaned against the counter, close to her.

Amanda picked some loaves of bread with a pleasant look on her face.
