Chapter 330
The two of them arrived in the city area, and Nina first took Taylor to do some shopping. The beverages in the pantry were mostly purchased from this store. It was done in no time. However, Nina’s task was a bit more complicated. The coffee beans she bought for Nash required a phone call appointment, but fortunately, she managed to secure it.
“Is there such a fuss about the coffee beans you buy for Mr. York? You even need an appointment,” Taylor asked, puzzled by the scarcity of these coffee beans.
“Mr. York is quite particular,” replied Nina. “He only drinks this particular kind of coffee beans.”
Taylor could only sigh, marveling at the world of the wealthy, where even coffee beans were top-notch.
Nina had already made an appointment with the shop manager. When she went in, she asked, “Manager, is it all prepared for me? Same as before?”
The manager seemed somewhat hesitant. “Miss Nina, there’s only this one bag left, and maybe…”
He hesitated to continue, seemingly having difficulty expressing something.
Nina caught his hesitation and glanced over to where Stella was enjoying her coffee. “Oh, look who it is! Such refined taste. So, Nina, I didn’t realize your palate had reached this level. Is this for Mr. York?” Nina did not want to respond to her, so she asked the manager instead, “Wasn’t this bag reserved for me?”
“Well, yes, but Miss Jasper has been a regular customer here too, and she’s quite insistent…” The manager was visibly uncomfortable, as no one dared to offend either of them.
Stella stood up and addressed the manager, “Hey, Manager, no need to fret. It’s not like these coffee beans suddenly skyrocketed in price. I’ve got the money, and I just love rare finds.”
As she spoke, she retrieved her card from her bag, directing her words toward Nina.
Nina felt uneasy hearing this and chimed in, “There should be a sense of fairness and order in everything, right? Manager, if money can fix this, don’t you think York Corporation has plenty of it?” The manager, who did not want to offend anyone, realized it was not just about money anymore.
“Miss Nina and Miss Jasper, how about each of you take half, and when the goods arrive, I’ll notify you both?” he suggested.
“I’m not in the habit of sharing with others,” Stella remarked.
Nina stood her ground, refusing to back down. “If Miss Jasper insists, then let’s wait in line. I made the reservation first,” she asserted firmly, clutching the bag of coffee beans.
“I got here first,” Stella persisted, refusing to budge.
Observing Stella’s deliberate attempt to complicate matters and intimidate Nina, Taylor intervened, her voice laced with indignation. “We were clearly here before you. You’re just picking on us because you don’t like us. Hand it over!”
She moved to snatch the bag as well.
“What’s happening here?” Eve emerged from the restroom and witnessed Nina and Taylor attempting to take something from Stella. She hurried over and pushed both of them aside. “It’s you again. Just because she’s alone, you think you can push her around?”
Nina was taken aback to see Eve there. How did she end up here? It appeared she had a close bond with Stella.
Stella held onto Eve, pleading, “Eve, please don’t get involved. I would blame myself if anything happened to you!”
Eve’s tone turned icy. “She dares! If she lays a finger on me in public, I won’t let her off!”
“We didn’t bully her. She’s deliberately causing trouble for us!” Taylor fired back.
“It’s obvious you’re giving Stella a hard time because you think she’s unfamiliar with this place. You locals have ways to exploit her, right?”
Nina pulled Taylor back, gesturing for her to stop. “You’ve misunderstood. We don’t hold any grudges against Miss Jasper. In fact, we have a cooperative relationship…”
