Chapter 193: Loneliness that Never Fades

Too caught up in her thoughts and emotions, Cassidy failed to notice that Charles and Olivia already finished talking with the owner of the flower shop. 

Only when she saw them walking closer to the door did she realize that they were done. But instead of hiding away and pretending that she did not hear anything, she waited for them to come out. She leaned on the window beside the entrance and crossed her arms, making do with an inscrutable expression all the while. 

Then, as soon as the two of them stepped out of the flower shop, she chimed in and stole their attention. 

"What's up, homies?"

Out of all the greetings that Cassidy could have said, those were the first words that she thought of telling them in a long time. They halted on their tracks and came to a still the moment they heard that. And as they turned back around, their eyes bulged wide while their mouths hanged open in utter nonplus. 

"Ma'am Cassidy?!"

"Cassidy!"
