It happened that grandfather had been quietly buying shares of various companies throughout his life. And now he had left his entire inheritance to his beloved granddaughter. Albina couldn’t believe her ears.
She remembered how grandfather always said, “Save your pennies, granddaughter. They’ll come in handy someday.” Now shae understood it.
Albina decided to use the money shrewdly.
She entered in professional development courses to return to her field.
And part of the funds was invested in a small business. She opened a café in their neighborhood. She was happy in working in the dining area sometimes—it helps her feel better the café’s atmosphere and chat with the patrons.
Albina naturally turned to welcome the new guests—and froze. He is Anton. Next to him was a young, striking blonde.
She approached the table the couple had chosen. — Good afternoon. What would you like to order?
— Albina said. Anton looked up from the menu and stared at his ex-wife in sh0ck:
— Albina? Are you working here as a waitress?
— Yes, I work here, — the woman replied calmly. — So, what will you have? — Two cappuccinos and croissants, — Anton said.
— Look at you, down on your luck. I thought you were still working as a cleaner. – he smirked.
— Your order will be ready in a few minutes, — she said.
When Albina brought the order, Anton couldn’t continue commenting again:
— You’re doing pretty well. Maybe serving coffee really is your calling?
Albina said nothing. — Albina! How are you?
So, shall we discuss our proposal? Are you free now? Albina smiled:
— Well, as you can see, I’m working a bit on the side.
The second man laughed. — You, as usual. In your situation, everyone is in offices, and here you are, out among the people.
Albina said:
— Enjoy your meal. Anton sat there, mouth agape. — So you’re the owner?
— he finally managed to ask. Albina smiled:
— Yes, this is my cafe’. Enjoy.
If you need anything, you can ask the waitress Lena. And Albina came into the office. She could experience her ex-husband’s surprised gaze on her back.
It was obvious that she had finally let go of the past.
