IN LOVE WITH A SOLDIER - Season 9 Episode 56

At Starbucks Coffee.

Sally was the only customer inside. She actually booked the whole coffee shop so no other customers or staff would interrupt her this afternoon.

Meanwhile, Rebecca drove to the rendezvous on time. After she stopped her car outside the coffee shop, she put on her sunglasses that could cover half of her face. When she got out of the car, she glanced around. To her surprise, there was only a LaFerrari hybrid supercar in the nearby parking lot.

Rebecca was a little worried. ‘Should I meet this woman? Who is she? Looks like she isn’t just an ordinary person, ‘ she thought with so much hesitations.

Eventually, she decided to meet the mysterious woman. She took a deep breath before she held her fashionable handbag tightly and walked towards the coffee shop. Her four-inch stiletto was making a noise in her every brisk step.

As she entered the shop, she slowed down and paused. She looked around and finally landed her eyes on a woman in a camel duster coat. Even though the woman was far from her, she could clearly see her face. There was no one else inside the coffee shop except for that woman who looked very graceful in Rebecca’s eyes. ‘Is she the one I’m going to meet?’ she wondered.

“Miss Rebecca, you are very on time,” Sally greeted her with a smile. She then motioned her to sit down, and invited, “Have a seat, please.”

When Rebecca heard Sally’s words, she became certain that this woman was the one she was going to meet. ‘It’s her, ‘ she thought.

Rebecca made her way to Sally and sat across from her.

“Hello, you may call me Ms. He,” Sally introduced herself. She thought that there was no need to tell Rebecca more about her.

“So what is it?” Rebecca directly asked. “What happened to Lawrence?” She didn’t intend to waste her time on a stranger. ‘What if she has some evil intentions?’ she wondered.

“Take your time,” Sally answered casually. She picked up her cup and took a sip of coffee. “Please have some coffee first. I let them prepare a Blue Mountain coffee for you. I hope you will like it,” she offered.

“How did you know that I like Blue Mountain coffee?” Rebecca asked curiously without taking her gaze away from Sally. However, Sally just ignored her question.

Instead, she said, “I know that your mother is sick right now.”

Rebecca was going to take a sip of coffee. But when she heard it, her hand held the coffee cup froze.

With a confounded look on her face, she asked, “Who in the world are you?” “It doesn’t matter who I am,” Sally replied nonchalantly, “Let me just tell what I know about you.”

Rebecca stared into Sally’s eyes wordlessly.

“You and Lawrence were classmates before. Then you swindled money from him. You used all the resources and connections available so you could be where you are right now. Am I right?” Sally narrated. She simply concluded Rebecca’s life in the past.

“I exerted a lot of efforts to get to where I am today. Don’t spread rumors.

Otherwise, I will sue you for slander,” Rebecca warned Sally frantically.

Sally responded defiantly with a sneer, “Is that so? Is that how you define efforts? I’m impressed. Well, let me tell you this. You know nothing about efforts.” Sally’s expression changed drastically.

She focused her ferocious eyes on Rebecca as she continued, “Do you consider sleeping with a man to be famous an effort?”

“Please watch your words,” Rebecca snapped. She stood up and extricated herself from the table. “You’re lying. I’ve never done such a thing,” she added. Rebecca was not convinced that Sally could have a proof. She had always been cautious and made sure that she would never make a mistake through all these years. She didn’t know how Sally learned about this.

“You, above all, should know better whether I am telling the truth or I am just making up a story,” Sally retorted. “All of these are based on facts so don’t you ever dare to deny in front of me.”

‘Such a shameless woman! You are too young to go against me, ‘ Sally scolded Rebecca inside her as she glowered.

“You’re insane! If I had only known that you’re a crazy woman, I shouldn’t have come here,” Rebecca berated. She was already bubbling with anger. She then grabbed her handbag and intended to leave.

“I haven’t even started talking about Lawrence yet. Aren’t you curious to know about him?” Sally said while drinking her coffee leisurely. She was sure enough that Rebecca wouldn’t leave. Or else, she would destroy her career.

Rebecca halted when she heard Lawrence’s name. He was her first love. Her love for him was so deep that she couldn’t let him go even until now.

So, she turned around and looked at Sally. Then she quietly returned to her seat.

When Sally noticed that Rebecca was becoming impatient, she decided to stop beating around the bush. She took out some photos from her bag and spread them on the table.

“Take a look and you will be surprised,” Sally said as she peered at the window. She could already guess Rebecca’s expression even without looking at her.

Out of curiosity, Rebecca picked up the pictures on the table one by one.

She took a close look at each picture and a hint of shock registered on her face as she recognized that the man in those photos was Lawrence.

“Where… Where did you get these?” Rebecca asked as she looked up at Sally. She gave her an inquiring look.

“I got these from a detective,” Sally replied.

Rebecca still couldn’t believe what she was seeing. “Are you sure that these pictures were not morphed?” she asked in disbelief. She still couldn’t take her eyes away from the pictures.

“I booked this whole coffee shop just for our meeting. Do you think I will use some fake photos and fool around?” Sally countered, feeling miffed. She thought that Rebecca was such a foolish woman. “Do you think I’ll come here just to show off some useless information?” she continued.

Eventually, Rebecca was convinced by Sally’s words. ‘Looks like she isn’t lying, ‘ she thought.
