Nine years later.
Once again, Jasmine is reunited with Young Master Leonardo. At this time, it is raining so hard that Leonardo's car has to pull over. The smooth and luxurious car lands in the parking area of a cafe. Leonardo, leaning lazily, gasps as he reads the cafe's name where he has stopped.
Suddenly. The image of a little girl with her tiny thick lips and blue eyes appears in his mind. Nine years have passed. They are growing up now, teenage.
"Shall I buy you coffee, Young Master?" Michael asks. He ends up being Leonardo's official assistant until now.
"Do you know why I haven't fired you all this time, Mike?" Leon's question makes Michael furrows his brows.
"Of course, because of my hard work, Young Master," The man answered.
"Wrong, it's because you're the only person who can connect me with that girl." A grin blooms on Leon's face.
"What do you mean, Young Master? Which girl? " Michael becomes more and more confused by his master's words.
"Doesn't that girl work in this place?" Leon opens his car door.
"W - where are you going? It's raining very hard," Michael gasps; he immediately opens the umbrella for Leonardo.
Leonardo pats Michael on the shoulder several times. Leonardo smiles meaningfully at Michael, making him shudder in horror. What does he do until his young master smiles at him?
"Tomorrow, You no longer need to come to my house. Go back to work at the company." Leonardo takes the umbrella from Michael's hand.
"W-what do you mean, Young Master? Did I do something wrong?" Michael follows his step.
"Tsk ...!" Leon glances sharply at the man.
"Y-yes, Young Master. Tomorrow I will resign." Michael is speechless.
"And, Mike. For your last assignment. Buy this cafe. I'll give you 10 minutes." Leonardo orders while walking to the cafe.
"Huh?? V-very well, Young Master."
Leonardo returns to his way, followed by Afga, the driver who replaces Mike and brings an umbrella for him.
Cling ... 🎵
There is a sound of a small bell when the door opens; several servants immediately greet them with welcome greetings.
When Leonardo enters, immediately, All eyes drop to his figure. How can not? This teenage boy is too dazzling. His calm and cold personality has an aura of its own. His face is very handsome; his nose is pointed, his eyebrows are thick, and his beaded hazel brown eyes are shiny. His sharp gaze can make all the girls in this world's hearts collapse, falling for his charm.
"Wow, so handsome!!"
"Wow, how handsome!"
"Wow, crazy, his uniform is from ALDER High School. Aren't only the super-rich or from famous families who can enter there?" The speech at his back.
Those are the buzzes that happened behind Leonardo. Most of the women are amazed at him.
"Welcome. What do you want to order?" The cashier asks. She is a 15-year-old girl with a bob haircut.
"Jasmine." Leon reads the name written on the cashier's name tag.
"Yes, my name is Jasmine. What do you want, Bro? " Jasmine asks with her sweet smile.
"What do you like?" He asks.
"You mean the most recommended choice or bestseller menu here?" Jasmine asks back.
"No, what drink do you like the most here?" Leon is waiting for Jasmine's answer; his eyes can not escape from this girl's cute face. There is a flat bang, completed by the beauty mark near her eye.
"I like the raspberry latte with extra whipped cream," Jasmine answers his question. She doesn't want to waste her time.
"You're not afraid of getting fat?"
"I can't get fat. Even though I eat a basket of bread, my body is still this way." Jasmine grins. She doesn't know whether to think of it as a blessing or bad luck.
"Okay, I'll order it and hot Americano without sugar," Leonardo orders.
"Yes, Your name?" Jasmine asks, holding a cup and marker, ready to write the customer's name.
"Leonardo."
"OK! Any more extras? Cake or cookies, maybe?" Jasmine asks again.
"Accompany me drinking coffee!"
"Yes??" Jasmine is startled.
"Accompany me talking and drinking coffee," Leonardo repeats his words.
"But — but I'm at work." Jasmine refuses.
"You still don't want to, even if it's your boss's order?" Leon strengthens his face in front of the cashier machine, staring at Jasmine's beautiful face.
Everyone there is whispering. The queue behind him is getting long. Leonardo doesn't care. What does Leonardo Aldebaran never get?
"You are not my boss, nor the owner of this cafe. Please pay immediately and sit at your table. The queue is getting long. " Jasmine raises her voice slightly.
"Jasmine !!" Suddenly the manager comes out of his room.
"Sorry, Sir. This customer refuses to pay and sit down, even though the queue is getting long. " Jasmine explains; she lowers her head a little in fear of being scolded by her superior. Sometimes she glances at Leon, who is smiling at her.
"Doesn't an owner pay to drink coffee in his shop ?!" The manager says.
"What?!" Jasmine's eyes open wide.
"So how? You still don't want to accompany me to talk, Princess Jasmine ?! " Leon grinds as he stares at Jasmine's emerald bead with enthusiasm.
Jasmine can only swallow her saliva, wondering why the owner wants to talk to her so much? Did she do something wrong? Oh no!! Jasmine doesn't even feel like she knows him.
"What's your name earlier?" Jasmine asks, trying to figure out about Leonardo Inside her memory.
"Leonardo, Leonardo Aldebaran," Leon replies.
Immediately, All eyes pair there are looking at Leon's figure. Hearing the great family name Aldebaran makes them awe. Only Jasmine looks at Leon while biting her lip in annoyance.
[Tch, how arrogant !!] Jasmine squeaks to herself.
Leon walks in front of Jasmine, sitting at the coffee table near the glass wall. From the table, they can see the heavy rain pouring down and flooding the pots filled with plants. Various kinds of flowers and green plants are accidentally put there to decorate the front of the cafe to create a green, peaceful atmosphere.
"Sit down!" Leon tells Jasmine to sit down, and the girl complies, sitting casually on the chair.
They look at each other for a moment but remain silent. Meanwhile, deep in their hearts admiring each other's charm.
"Please enjoy." Not long, Jasmine's coworker arrives, bringing a cup of dark black coffee that is still hot and a tall glass of raspberry latte with lots of whip cream on top. One is cold, one is hot, one is sweet, and one is bitter. Jasmine and Leonardo have different tastes in drinks. However, will their tastes in love be the same?
"Drink it first!"
"So, what do you want to say right away?" Jasmine asks to the point. She is still confused by the strange look from the handsome man in front of her.
