There were very few people in the coffee shop in the morning, scattered across a few tables.
Enna Clark ordered coffee at the bar, paid for her own cup, and sat down in a corner seat with her coffee in hand.
William Sullivan followed closely and sat across from her.
Money for groceries was already tight, and yet she spent 4.5 dollars on coffee. The expense made Enna wince. Adhering to the principle that waste was a disgrace, though she had no appetite, she still took a sip of the hot coffee.
She had to say, the taste of the coffee was simply horrible. She seriously questioned whether instant coffee powder from a supermarket, which only cost 0.15 dollars per pack, would taste better!
But the money had been spent, no matter how terrible the taste was, she had to bear it and drank almost half of it. After finishing, she put down her cup, broke the silence and asked, "Mr. Sullivan, what brings you to me?"
