Chapter 45: Marcus Choi
For the next day, Gray didn’t have any tutoring sessions with Chloe. It was Wednesday, his supposed to be a rest day. But it seemed like he won’t be able to rest for today and for the rest of his days.
Gray found himself outside.
He was seated in a small café just a few blocks away from their apartment. It was not one of the cheap cafes he usually went to. Instead, he sat inside a cafe located on the high street,
High street was a business central district located in the heart of the Riverside District. It was a place where everything looked polished, overpriced, and a little out of reach. Designer shops lined the sidewalks, and tall high-rise buildings filled the area.
Most importantly, aesthetic cafes were everywhere. The coffee here costs more than a full meal back in his own neighborhood.
Gray sat by the window. He was inside Coastal Café, one of the most renowned cafés in the street. A halfway finished Iced Latte was in front of him.
He used to tell himself he’d never step foot in a place like this. High Street was too expensive, too far out of reach for him. But now, look at him, casually sipping a cup of an overpriced coffee.
Well, it was not that he came here for the coffee.
Instead, he was waiting for someone.
He was waiting for the person Jonathan had mentioned yesterday. The director who was supposed to help him get started.
Chloe had given the guy’s contact details yesterday before leaving, saying it was someone whom they personally trusted. When he sent a message yesterday, introducing himself and his intention, the director replied to him in the speed of light as if he were expecting a message from him.
