A tall and gorgeous woman entered Leon’s field of vision.
Her skin was extremely fair, and her curvy body was wrapped in a long crimson trench coat.
Her bright black hair hung all the way down to her waist, gently swaying as she walked.
A huge pair of sunglasses covered the upper half of her face, revealing only her high nose bridge, fair skin, and small lips coated with nude lipstick.
After getting out of the car, the woman carried a silver handbag with one hand, brushed aside her long hair with the other, and quickly walked toward the store.
Only after she came closer did Leon notice that she was also wearing an exaggerated pair of silver earrings, sparkling beneath the sunlight.
Together with the diamond necklace embedded with countless sapphires on her chest, it nearly blinded his 24K titanium alloy dog eyes!
“Good morning, Manager!”
Donald fiercely jabbed Leon’s waist with his elbow, revealing a flattering smile as he loudly greeted her.
“Good morning!”
Leon quickly followed up with a greeting as memories about this woman surfaced within his mind.
Eva Farrell, twenty-eight years old this year, a mixed French-American.
Her father had been an American wealthy businessman, while her mother had been a famous model in the French fashion industry.
She had grown up with a silver spoon in her mouth since childhood, inheriting both her mother’s beauty and her father’s business mind.
Later, after her father passed away from illness, she naturally inherited the family’s billions in assets.
Their family owned many industries throughout New York.
Aside from this café, there were many other stores as well.
Farrell Pizza Shop, Farrell Golf Course, Farrell Beauty Salon, Farrell Ski Resort…
That’s right, all these stores were named after her.
And as the boss, Eva was never lazy.
During the five working days every week, she would visit the stores under her name almost every day for inspections.
As long as she caught employees slacking off, arriving late, or leaving early, she would act impartially and immediately deduct their salary!
Even during weekends she never relaxed, always insisting on staying at the frontlines of work.
It was just that her job—was collecting rent.
Most apartments available for rent in Queens belonged to her.
To her, collecting rent was her happiest moment, so she treated this job as entertainment during weekends.
In summary, although this woman was not as rich as Tony Stark, she was still a true fair-skinned rich beauty.
Because of this, Eva had countless pursuers, but very few caught her eye.
According to Leon’s earlier memories, when the original owner first came to work here, he had also pursued her before being rejected with the threat of getting fired.
Honestly, Leon himself was somewhat tempted.
Not being tempted was impossible.
Not only was this woman fair-skinned and beautiful, she was also sexy and charming.
Besides, if he really could get together with her, wouldn’t that mean getting attached to a rich woman?
He would never need to work hard again in the future!
Rich lady happy fire, rich lady happy ball… so what?
As long as she gave money—
Come on, ravage me to your heart’s content!
“You two…”
At that moment, Leon’s fantasy was interrupted by a cold female voice.
Eva had already walked to the café counter.
She reached out and removed her sunglasses, her blue-gray eyes carefully examining Leon and Donald for several minutes before asking with an oppressive tone, “You weren’t slacking off while I wasn’t here, were you?”
“Of course not.” Donald hurriedly answered, “Please rest assured, Manager!”
“Good.”
Only then did a faint smile appear on Eva’s face.
Afterward, she turned around and walked to the corner seat beside the window before sitting down, taking a laptop out from her bag.
“Don’t mind me.
Just continue your work.” Eva opened the laptop with one hand and said without even raising her head.
“Got it.”
Leon and Donald obediently nodded their heads,
the two exchanging glances before simultaneously letting out sighs of relief.
Thankfully, thankfully, the manager had not found an excuse to deduct their salary today.Just like that, the café’s workday began.
The work of a café employee was neither difficult nor easy.
Besides daily tasks like taking orders, handling the register, and cleaning the store, one also had to learn how to make all sorts of coffee.
Especially coffee latte art.
That was truly technical work, and good latte art could make your coffee unique.
Before transmigrating, Leon had never made coffee before.
Although he possessed the original owner’s muscle memory, he still felt somewhat clumsy.
“One large iced latte, less sugar!”
“Two medium hot cappuccinos, extra milk!”
Today was Friday, and there were quite a lot of customers.
The store only had Leon and Donald working.
They remained busy until around two or three in the afternoon before finally having time to stop and eat lunch, while Eva continued sitting by the window the entire time, never once raising her head, looking completely unmoved.
“Haa…”
After finishing the sandwich in his hand, Leon stretched lazily.
Taking advantage of the break, he began cleaning the trash and empty cups from the tables.
When he walked behind Eva’s table, he finally discovered that the rich lady had been so serious all morning because she was looking at stocks.
They were Stark Industries stocks.
From yesterday’s 120 dollars, they had already plummeted straight down to 108 dollars today.
“It dropped again…”
Eva frowned and muttered softly, “So annoying.
Should I sell them?”
She also held quite a few Stark Industries stocks, but ever since Tony Stark disappeared, Stark Industries’ stock prices had begun falling rapidly, so she was considering cutting her losses in time.
“Manager.”
Seeing the hesitation on Eva’s face, Leon instantly understood something and softly said, “Perhaps… there’s still a possibility it could rise again in the future?”
“So you even understand the stock market?” Eva looked toward Leon, a trace of surprise appearing on her face.
“I know a little, just a little.” Leon deliberately said modestly.
Tsk tsk.
Where did this guy understand the stock market?
He merely knew that the missing Tony Stark would return three months later.
At that time, Stark Industries’ stock prices would naturally rise along with it.
“Forget it.
Right now, that possibility is too small.”
After seriously thinking for several seconds with her fingers interlocked beneath her chin, Eva gently shook her head again.
She brushed aside her obstructive long hair before leaning back against the café chair and saying:
“Unless the missing Tony Stark is found one day…”
This unintentional movement caused the red trench coat draped over her body to slide downward.
Only then did Leon discover that underneath she was actually wearing a tight turtleneck shirt that perfectly outlined her proud figure.
Emmmm…
Leon failed to resist and subconsciously glanced over.
Alright, your chest is big, you make the rules.
“Alright, you two have worked all day.
You should be tired too, right?”
Eva seemed to have made up her mind.
She snapped her laptop shut and yawned before saying, “I’ll make a cup of coffee for you guys.”
M-Make coffee?!
Upon hearing her words, Leon and Donald were instantly stunned at the same time.
Before Leon could even speak, Donald immediately waved his hands frantically, shaking his head like a rattle drum.
“No need, Manager.
I need to pee urgently, I’m going to the restroom first!”
After saying that, without caring whether Eva agreed or not, Donald fled the place as fast as possible, running straight out of the café.
In the blink of an eye, only Leon and Eva remained in the store.
“…” Leon felt speechless inside.
This fatty really escaped way too quickly.
“Then I’ll make one for you.
Wait a moment, it’ll be ready soon.” Eva did not seem to mind at all and instead smiled while looking at Leon.
“O-Okay…”
At this point, Leon had no way to refuse anymore and could only brace himself and nod.
Several minutes later, a steaming hot cup of coffee was placed before him.
“It’s ready.”
Eva looked toward him, blinking her charming eyes as she gently said, “Drink it while it’s hot.”
“…”
Leon blankly stared at the cup of coffee before him, but did not dare move.
The color of the coffee in the cup was extremely strange.
It was actually dark red, and bubbles continuously rolled and popped on the surface.
It had already almost completely departed from the category of “coffee” and instead looked more like some witch’s thick soup…
Dear God, what kind of person could possibly brew coffee like this?!!
“What’s wrong…” Eva’s tone gradually turned cold as her eyes quietly stared at Leon.
“You don’t want to drink it?”
“I…”
Every cell in Leon’s body was resisting, but under Eva’s coercive gaze, he could only tightly close his eyes and resolutely take a huge gulp.
Gulp.
But after just one mouthful, he instantly felt terrible.
This coffee actually carried an inexplicable sour flavor, and the texture inside his mouth was incomparably bizarre, like drinking a huge cup of boiling hot mud.
“M-Manager, what exactly did you put into this coffee?” A painful expression appeared on Leon’s face like he had put on a mask of suffering.
“Espresso, milk, water, ketchup, lime slices…”
Eva revealed a proud and satisfied expression as she said, “Doesn’t it feel refreshing and energizing?
You’re not tired at all anymore, right?”
Not tired my ass!
Leon could not help rolling his eyes.
This rich lady was beautiful, wealthy, and perfect in every way—
except for one bizarre hobby.
She loved making dark cuisine coffee!She liked putting all sorts of strange things into coffee under the glorious name of: developing new products.
Every Friday when she came to the store, aside from inspections, she would make all kinds of bizarre dark cuisine coffee, then force Leon and Donald to taste-test them for her!
However, after carefully feeling it, aside from the strange color, this coffee actually seemed much better than the previous few times.
Drinking it felt slightly intoxicating.
Leon took another small sip.
“Looks like you really like this coffee.”
Seeing this, a sly smile appeared on Eva’s face.
“Would you like another cup?”
