Wendy Came
“Arielle? Isn’t she the genius with four full marks?”
“Correct! Go try out her ravioli. Maybe you’ll get some luck for your exam.”
“You should have told us earlier! Let’s go now.” Those students put down Wendy’s cookie and got
ready to leave.
Wendy immediately grabbed the hand of one of them. “What’s so good with ravioli? The weather today
is too hot to have that. Why don’t you try out my dessert, along with an iced Americano…”
“No, thank you. Your stuff is too expensive. I will just go to the coffee shop if I want coffee.” The student
got rid of Wendy’s grip while turning to her friend. “Let’s go grab the ravioli now. Who knows, we might
pass the exam of Maxwell University tonight!”
“Yes! Let’s hurry!”
With that, Wendy lost the two customers instantly.
What was killing her the most was the fact that they abandoned her stall for Arielle’s stall.
Wendy’s expression darkened immediately.
She turned to Cecilia wrathfully. “Mom, look at them!”
Cecilia was also beyond exasperated. “I felt strange why we were losing customers all of a sudden. It
looks like that b*tch has snatched away all the customers! What a scheming lady!”
Staring at her cookies, Wendy started to panic. “So what’re we going to do now? Do we just let her take
away all the customers?”
“Fret not.” Cecilia comforted Wendy. “You’ve heard them just now. They went after Arielle for good luck.
I doubt if the ravioli tastes that good. They will mostly buy one portion each. After the heat passes, the
customers will be back. Please have some faith in my cooking. I am sure many people will come back
to our stall later.”
Wendy nodded, but there was a sense of uneasiness in her heart.
“Don’t worry, Wendy.” Cecilia sounded utterly confident. “Even though she is a genius in studies, do
you think someone who focuses on studies like her will be able to cook better than a housewife?”
Wendy smiled slightly. “Let me check her stall out and try to pull back some customers.”
“Okay.” Cecilia nodded. “Remember to come back here soon. Susanne will probably be back any
minute. You’ll have to show your best in front of her.”
Wendy’s gaze darkened once again upon hearing that name.
She feigned a smile and left her stall abruptly.
Before she realized it, she was already at Arielle’s stall.
Yet, the crowd in front of the stall was so huge that she could not even see Arielle’s face.
In an instant, jealousy and hatred filled Wendy’s heart. Since when does her stall become so popular?
It was still empty not long ago. On the contrary, my stall has no customers even though it is in the best
spot. Why is she always better than me in everything?
Just then, someone among the crowd identified her.
“Isn’t that Wendy? Why is she here at the goddess’ stall? She must’ve come here to make a fuss!”
“Haha. I saw her stall just now. There’s no customer at all over there. I bet she came here to check out
her competitor.”
“Don’t let her create any trouble then. Let’s chase her away!”
Most of the crowd was aware of the conflict between Arielle and Wendy. Thus, as soon as they
recognized Wendy, they showed utter hostility toward her.
One of them stepped toward Wendy. “Hey, could you please get out of here?”
