The next day.
After Eileen finished her work, she leaned against the chair and stretched her neck.
Ruben walked in and asked, "Have you finished your work?"
Eileen nodded, "I have finished my work."
He said, "Then would you like to buy me a cup of coffee?"
Eileen was surprised. She said, "What...?"
Jayla passed by and said behind them," Haven't you heard about 'the first cup of coffee in autumn? It's the latest buzzwords.
Eileen smiled, "I rarely surf the Internet." Jayla smiled, "It's Ruben who drove you home on your birthday. You should buy him a cup of coffee."
Hearing that, Eileen thought that Jayla was right.
Eileen thought that she should return the favor.
She said, "OK. What would you like to drink?"
Before Ruben replied, Jayla said, "Not far away, there is a new coffee shop. It is about 1 km away from our company. It tastes good. Have a try."
Ruben smiled, "Jayla has a good taste.
Since she recommends the coffee shop to u s, it will be great. Would you like to have a try?"
Eileen smiled, "OK."
Seeing them off, Jayla smiled all the time.
The coffee shop was not far away. It took them several minutes to go there by car.
Eileen saw the coffee shop across the road.
She said, "You can park the car first. I will buy the coffee for you."
Ruben agreed, "OK. After I park the car, I will meet you there."
When Eileen got close to the coffee shop, she was surprised.
There was a long line. Most of them were couples.
Unexpectedly, so many people would line u p for a cup of coffee.
It seemed that she would line up for more than half an hour.
