The Ex and Her Riches

Kieran was slightly stunned. His eyes soon fell on the two cups of coffee that she had brewed.

He didn’t expect her to prepare one for him too.

Picking up a cup, he took a sip of the coffee.

The water temperature was carefully controlled. After Inez poured away the first round of coffee that she had brewed, the bitterness of the coffee had been reduced.

Every sip of the rich and delicate flavor melted in his mouth. Inez had clearly brewed the coffee from her heart.

He finished it and said, “It’s good.”

Inez gave him a sidelong glance. “Is that all? You sound so half-hearted, Mr. Kieran. Don’t be stingy with your words when you’re praising a woman.”

“This is the most aromatic coffee that I have ever drank. Moreover, it’s brewed by my superior. I will never forget the taste for the rest of my life,” Kieran said again.

She chuckled, amused by how hard he was racking his brain to sing her praises.

Back then, she had always felt that he was a chaste cold fish. It had never struck her mind that he could be so adorable.

She offered him another cup. “We’ll go back after drinking this.”

Kieran accepted it. He liked it so much that he couldn’t seem to put it down.

The next morning, Cedrick called Craig over for a talk in the name of his superior. Craig could not avoid it.
