"Alisa, why do you always come here by yourself? Actually, I think it would be fine for you to let your subordinates come too, especially since you're so busy." Betty brought a glass of lemonade to Alisa and then sat next to her to chat.
"No, this restaurant is my secret, and I don't plan to let anyone else in," Alisa said, smiling as she shook her head.
Moreover, this place was her haven, the only secret space where she could drop the façade of a strong woman, take a breather, and enjoy delicious food. Naturally, Alisa made it a point to seize the opportunity to come here herself.
In fact, if Alisa hadn't been exceptionally busy lately, she would have considered visiting every day to eat and casually chat with the other customers, which would have been quite nice.
