The night fell. Several towering buildings dotted the streets. Between two buildings stood a woman in a black windbreaker and red high heels. The enormous sunglasses seemed to conceal her face.
Jocelyn tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, her cautious gaze still fixed on the cafe across the street.
Janet was sitting at a table beside the French window in the cafe. Jocelyn had a clear view of her from where she was standing.
The man had stopped Janet just as she was about to take a sip of the coffee.
'Who the hell is he?' Jocelyn grew anxious. She wanted to run over there and pour the coffee down Janet's throat.
Fortunately, the man left after a while. Janet ordered another cup of coffee and seemed to wait impatiently without drinking it.
Jocelyn angrily stomped her foot. She saw Janet take out her phone and called someone, probably Bernie. Before leaving the house, Jocelyn had secretly taken Bernie's phone with her, fearing that he might find out her plan.
Since her calls went unanswered, Janet sighed and stood up to leave.
However, if she left now, Jocelyn's plans would fail. She didn't want to miss a great opportunity.
Jocelyn rushed to the cafe to stop her. She wanted to make sure Janet drank the coffee.
The moment Janet stood up, she saw Jocelyn walking into the cafe.
