Chapter 20 - Suspicious

Hanna looked at Edgar with disinterest.

"Mr. Edgar, what do you want?" Hanna asked.

"Honey, sit down with me. Why do you call me that? What did I do wrong to make you so angry? Do you want to meet one of my family now? My brother just came to this country and he can meet you. He doesn't work here," said Edgar.

"No need anymore. We broke up," Hanna replied.

Hanna stepped away from Edgar. Suddenly the glass on Edgar's table shattered when she had only walked a few steps surprising Hanna with what Edgar did.

"Miss, you have to be more careful when walking. I'll tell your boss if you don't work right," said Edgar.

"What are you doing?" asked Hanna irritably, pointing at Edgar.

"What is this?" asked Floren who suddenly appeared.

"Your waiter broke my glass and spilled my drink," replied Edgar.

Hanna want to speak, but she was forbidden by Floren. Hanna lowered her head.

"Sorry, do you want us to get a new one or what?" asked Florence.

"I want your waiter to sit with me," said Edgar.

"No, Mrs. Floren. I'd better change the glass," said Hanna.

"Just fired her if she doesn't want to," said Edgar, surprising Hanna.

"What happens to my family if I get fired?" Hanna muttered.

"Hanna, apologize to our guest and accompany him to eat here," said Flore.

"Mrs. Floren, I still don't want to," said Hanna.

"Would you rather be fired or accompany him?" asked Floren who looked annoyed with Hanna.

"Yes, Mrs. Floren," replied Hanna, glaring at Edgar.

Edgar seemed to shrug his shoulders when he saw Floren had left the two of them and Hanna's glare.

"Hanna, sit down," said Edgar, pointing to an empty seat.

Hanna took a deep breath. "What do you want? I have no intention of meeting your family and I want to separate. We are no longer compatible," replied Hanna.

"Baby, please don't be like this," said Edgar, holding Hanna's hand.

"What are you doing? Don't be like this, let go of my hand," Hanna replied, pulling her hand away.

"Honey, I've taken my time to meet you, but you turned out to be very mean to me," said Edgar.

"Let go of me, Edgar. My hand hurts," said Hanna grimacing as Edgar grabbed her hand tightly.

"I could break your arm right now, but I wouldn't if you could have a nice talk with me," Edgar replied.

Hanna looked at Edgar who was in front of her with a frightened face. He did not seem to recognize the man in front of him right now.

"I can't continue our relationship. Don't you understand?" Hanna asked.

"No, I don't want our relationship to end just like that. Trust me today I will introduce you to one of my family," replied Edgar.

"Okay, where's your brother?" Hanna asked.

"My brother didn't come here. We'll meet him somewhere else," explained Edgar.

"No. I want us to meet here," said Hanna.

"Could you meet him at lunch?" asked Edgar.

"It's really hard to refuse this man, but this time I'm going to do what he wants. I want to see what kind of brother he is," Hanna muttered.

"Okay, later at lunch," said Hanna.

"Honey, I'm waiting for you," said Edgar.

"Yeah you'll just wait at the restaurant," said Hanna.

"I'll wait here until you can have lunch together. We'll go together," Edgar replied.

"No need, I can go alone," said Hanna.

"Hanna, you know I don't like being denied like this," Edgar replied.

"I don't like being controlled either," said Hanna.

"Hanna, I just want you to continue working and then we'll go together. Don't talk about anything else," Edgar replied.

"You're the one discussing other things, Edgar. I haven't discussed anything other than our relationship. I wasn't expecting much anyway," Hanna said.

"I don't want to argue anymore. You want me to talk to your boss again?" asked Edgar.

"No need," Hanna replied, clenching her fists.

Hanna then stood up and continued her work in the cafe kitchen, while Edgar smiled crookedly at Hanna who had left.

"Hanna, what's wrong with you?" Adel asked when she saw how frustrated Hanna was after entering the kitchen.

"Adel, I don't know what else to do to avoid that guy," Hanna replied.

"Hanna, why are you avoiding him? He said he wanted to introduce you to his brother. You have to meet his brother and see if he is handsome or not," said Adel.

"Why should I care if Edgar's brother is handsome or not?" Hanna asked.

"Who knows his younger brother is more handsome and understanding than that man. You just go out with his brother if that guy can't be trusted anymore," Adel replied, laughing out loud.

"You are crazy!" shrieked Hanna.

"Don't shout. Later the boss will be angry if she hears it," said Adel.

"That's enough. I want to continue working," Hanna replied.

"Yes you have to continue working. You have lunch with your boyfriend after you finish work," said Adel.

"Adel, you just come along so he pays for your food," said Hanna.

"Good idea," Adel replied.

"Okay," said Hanna

Hanna high-fived with Adel. They then resumed their delayed work.

Edgar who was still in the cafe waiting for Hanna while doing his work. He did not want Hanna to avoid him again.

"Waitress," called Edgar.

Not long after a waiter came with a menu book and writing tools to order.

"Sir, can I help you? I'm Nancy," said Nancy.

"I ordered a coffee latte. What's a delicious snack here?" asked Edgar.

"There's fish and chips, chicken steak, and a variety of cakes. Like cheesecake and blackforest," Nancy replied.

"Okay, I'll order fish and chips and a coffee latte," said Edgar.

"Please wait about fifteen minutes. Thank you," Nancy replied.

"Wait, I have another question," said Edgar.

"Yes you can," Nancy replied coquettishly.

"Why didn't I see Hanna earlier?" asked Edgar.

"She usually helps with the cake decorations in the kitchen too," Nancy replied.

"Has a man approached Hanna?" asked Edgar.

"I don't know because she doesn't talk much," Nancy replied.

"Thanks, here's a tip for you. I want you to replace Hanna so she can have lunch with me later," said Edgar.

"Okay. Thanks for the tip," Nancy replied with a big smile when she got a big tip.

Floren who was checking out the cafe's goods was thinking about the incident because she seemed to remember the man earlier. She wondered to herself.

"Mrs. Floren, it's me, Nancy. May I come in?" Nancy asked, knocking on the door.

"Yes, come in," replied Floren.
