Chapter 200 – Spilling The Conversation (1)
"Hmm, no. He dressed all black from head to toe and wore a hat and face mask to cover half of his face. But he has such a deep voice, and he also has beautiful emerald eyes. My, my, your boyfriend is really a good catch for you, Em. Mom is happy for you."
"And you did ask him why he didn't take off his face mask and hat?"
"Yes, he said he is embarrassed to show his face in front of his girlfriend's family. Because he just went for a long jog in the morning, so he is all sweaty," Mom replied. "I don't want him to feel uncomfortable, so I didn't ask him further, Em."
Ugh, that creepy man really knew how to hide from my family. He knew that Mom and Grandma wouldn't try to push him because they had a soft spot for him and wouldn't want to make him uncomfortable.
"What's wrong, Em? Did you have a fight with him? He doesn't seem to be distressed," Mom asked.
I shook my head quickly, "We… we are good, Mom. I'm just annoyed that he doesn't inform me first that he will be coming. I never told him to buy us food like that."
"Ohh! That means he wants to give you a surprise. My, you have such a caring and loving boyfriend," Mom praised that creepy man even more, while Grandma only laughed heartily and continued eating the pie.
I bit my lower lip because I couldn't tell them that my boyfriend was actually a creepy stalker who followed me from my previous life. He helped my family and me indeed.
But in the end, he was still an unknown stalker with a crazy fetish for my stuff.
I knew that Mom would be scared shitless if she knew that was a stalker. And that stalker might also turn against me if I told my Mom and Grandma about the truth.
The last thing I needed right now was a new enemy, at least not until I defeated Jessica, my main target.
I decided to return to my room, not wanting to join my Mom and Grandma eating something given by that red rose man.
I checked on the clock and found that it was already 10.00 A.M.
I decided to start preparing for the mission today by texting Mona first.
—
Emmy: Did you already book all but one VIP table in that cafe?
Mona: Picture sent.
Mona: Booked all but one for 03.00 – 07.00 P.M.
—
I checked the picture and saw that Mona had indeed booked four out of five VIP tables in that cafe. It cost 2 grand and already included free drink and service and tax.
The VIP table that hadn't been booked was also strategic because Mona left the unbooked VIP table at the furthest, with no window view. So, Barbara and Natasha would 100% hear if someone was talking a bit loud from the next table because they were only separated by a curtain.
—
Emmy: Perfect, I will come at 2 sharp and will stay in your cafe first until 3, and then I'll go there.
Mona: I will be waiting.
—
I prepared 2 grand to pay Mona for the booking fee and then kept another 1 grand for myself as emergency money.
I checked on the money given by the red rose man and realized that I was already down to 4 grand after less than 12 hours.
Who would've expected that revenge could be so expensive?
I took a bath at 11 and then wore a jacket, a face mask to cover half of my face, and sunglasses to make me less noticeable.
Now I really felt like that red rose man who tried hard to cover his own identity.
I picked my small bag containing 3 thousand dollars, the box of earrings from Mason Hall, and my phone. I asked Mona how to enter the VIP table without showing my id since I didn't have one. She said I only needed the booking code, which was apparently the same way that Barbara and Natasha did to avoid the background check since both were underaged.
I went out, and Mom asked me before I left, "Where are you going, Em?"
"… to meet my boyfriend," I replied curtly. At this point, that red rose man was the easiest reason I could think of.
"Oh! Will he come here to pick you up?"
"No, I will go and meet him downtown, in the shopping district. He is a bit shy in front of you and Grandma," I replied before leaving as quickly as possible. So Mom wouldn't ask more questions.
I used my bike to go to the nearest bus station, parked my bike behind a shop, and then used the bus.
I got a text from Elise on my way:
—
Elise: Em, I'm already in Mona's cafe. We're waiting for you. Mona had told me everything about you booking the VIP tables.
Emmy: Okay, wait for me.
—
I checked my watch as I stopped at the bus stop in the shopping district.
It was already 01.30 when I arrived, so I quickly went to Mona's parents' cafe.
"Em!" I heard Elise's voice as I entered the cafe. My eyes darted at the third seat from the door and saw Elise and Mona already sitting together.
There weren't any visitors right now, which was our good fortune, because that meant we could talk with Mona.
I sat facing Mona and Elise, and the first question that Elise came up with was;
"Em, I have the good news for this mission."
"Oh? What is it?"
"Natasha and Barbara will 100% come to that cafe today, probably around 4.30 or 5 sharp. Because I got news from Anita—that Jordan from American Football Club is going with them bitches again. They will probably spend the night somewhere as three, you know… threesome and stuff…." Elise lowered her voice at the last sentence.
"Wait, Anita told you that?"
"Yes, she still hasn't gotten over Jordan, it seems. That's why she is still stalking her. But she said she wouldn't do anything because she is tired of dealing with Natasha and Barbie."
