Who would have thought that today's traffic would be surprisingly smooth? I arrived at the airport in just forty minutes, more than an hour before the pickup time. So, I decided to rest in a coffee shop, but as soon as I stepped in, I caught sight of Howard Coleman and Anita Madris sitting in a corner.
From Madeleine's vantage point, she could only see half of Howard's face and couldn't quite make out their expressions. They were sitting opposite each other, a fair distance apart, and she had no idea what they were talking about.
Behind Madeleine was the bustling airport, its noise a chaotic symphony, while in front of her was the somewhat quiet coffee shop, where Fish Leong's melodious voice slowly drifted out.
Many passersby walked past Madeleine, some entering the coffee shop and others leaving, but she stood frozen at the doorstep like she had been struck by an acupoint, staring straight at the two people, unable to move her gaze away.
