Chapter 705:
When Yelena reached the ground floor, she received a call from a delivery person. She stopped to wait for the delivery while messaging Bernice to come to her.
From a distance, Bella watched curiously, wondering what was going on. Then she spotted Bernice approaching.
A smile crossed Bella’s face, and she quickly walked over to greet her. “Hi, Bernice p>
Bella couldn’t help but feel a sense of victory. “Bernice is here looking for me, after all. She was upset with me yesterday, but now she’s come to find me,” she thought.
However, as soon as Bernice saw Bella, her smile faded. “Why is she here too?” she murmured.
Still, Bernice didn’t let it show for long. She stopped next to Yelena, and her face brightened once again. “Yelena p>

But to Bella’s surprise, Bernice remained completely composed this time. There was no hint of panic in her eyes.
Bella frowned, confused. She stared at Bernice, trying to make sense of the change.
“Yes,” Yelena replied.
The owner then turned to Bernice. “And for you, Miss p>
Bernice paused, unsure of what to order. She hadn’t been here before. After a moment of hesitation, she sat down and said, “I’ll have what she’s having p>
“Okay. Please wait a moment,” the owner said as she went off to prepare their food.
While they were waiting, Tessa walked up. She smiled when she saw Yelena and said, “I heard you were having lunch with someone. Didn’t expect you to come here p>
