The waiter was about to take Carl's order.
Hearing Nicole's words, he stopped. He looked at Carl and then at Nicole, not knowing what to do.
"Sorry, I want to confirm it. Would this gentleman like a cup of latte or ice cubes?" the barista asked with a professional smile.
Nicole smiled kindly and said, "Ice cubes please. I'm his mother. It's up to me. Thank you."
The barista sensed the murderous intent in her gentle tone.
However, this murderous intent was not directed at her, but at her son, because her eyes were always staring at Carl when she spoke.
Seeing how stern Nicole looked, the barista decided not to offend her.
"Alright." The barista hurriedly turned around
and left.
Not long after, a cup of ice cubes was served. However, it was brought over by a different barista.
Carl looked at the ice cubes with his eyes wide open. He turned to the barista in disbelief. The barista replied with a smile, "Sir, here are the ice cubes you ordered."
She spoke seriously and didn't laugh at all. Her professionalism was comparable to that of a waitress at the Golden Cauldron Club.
Carl was angry. "You..."
"Thank you." Nicole forcefully interrupted Carl.
After the barista left, she looked at Carl and said leisurely, "Eat."
The weather in early spring was not cool, but it was not warm either. It was far from the time to have cold drinks, let alone ice cubes.
