After Being Bent by Reader [Jenlisa]

Chapter 85-Pt.1

Jingle, jingle-

The bells at the door rang once more. As if avoiding something, Rosé looked toward the entrance and loudly said, "Welcome!"

Compared to the greeting Jisoo received, Rosé's current greeting sounded more vivid and powerful. However, it also sounded a little rushed.

Jisoo also looked toward the entrance.

However, not a soul could be seen by the entrance as the bells had only rung because of the wind.

Rosé: "..."

Jisoo chuckled.

One yuan, two yuan, three yuan, four yuan...

Rosé resumed counting the banknotes in her hands in silence, pretending as if nothing had happened. Unfortunately, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't ignore the woman, who was half a head taller, standing in front of her.

Unable to keep up the act, Rosé put the banknotes back into the cash register and looked up. "Are you here to buy cakes?"

Initially, Jisoo had only gotten a sudden urge to visit this cake shop. Never did she think she would meet Rosé here. Then, while running her fingers through her hair, she said, "That's right."

Rosé secretly sighed in relief when she realized that Jisoo didn't come here looking for her.

"Ah, no," Jisoo quickly added.

"..." Rosé's heart thumped, and her right eyelid twitched. Her hand also shook slightly. This, in turn, caused her to release the metal clip meant to hold down the banknotes, and the clip smashed straight down onto the tip of her pinky. Fortunately, she managed to endure the pain and did not cry out loud.

Although Rosé didn't show any changes on the surface, inwardly, she was praying for other customers to enter the shop. Unfortunately, business this afternoon was slow.

Rosé's cousin brother had to leave the shop to pick up some supplies today, while his wife had to stay at the back and focus on baking cakes. Since it was rare for her to visit the shop, Rosé had volunteered to look after the shop. However, never did she think that she would welcome such a customer.

If she's not here to buy cakes, what is she here for? Rosé couldn't figure out what Jisoo was trying to do. However, she also couldn't bring herself to ask.

"That..."

"I..."

The two opened their mouths to speak almost simultaneously, only to then retract their mouths simultaneously as well.

While randomly tapping her foot against the ground, Rosé said with an indifferent expression, "You go first."

After sorting out her thoughts, Jisoo said, "I came here with my boss this time, and I'll be heading back in a few hours, so I thought to buy some walnut cakes back for them."

So she is here to buy things. That makes things easy. Pointing at a certain display shelf, Rosé said, "They're just behind you. They're freshly baked this morning."

Jisoo turned around and approached the shelf.

Seeing this, Rosé breathed out a sigh of relief.

The walnut cakes came packed individually and in boxes of twelve, and they were neatly organized on the shelf. Jisoo grabbed six boxes without much thought and went to pay for them.

Rosé had already brought out a paper bag while Jisoo was away. When she saw the other party bringing back so many boxes, she pondered for a moment before saying, "They're too heavy. Leave them on the counter first and give me a second; I'll get a bigger bag for you."
