226: The guest arrives [pt2]
“Freshia, you are finally here. I wanted to come down and welcome you myself but some problems kept me busy. I hope you were not disappointed with my late arrival.”
After a short wait in the guest room, Rui finally made her appearance. She looked healthier and happier than Freshia had ever seen her look.
In Freshia’s memories, Rui had always looked a little detached and bored, almost as if she was done with the world and ready to disappear at any point in time. So to see her happier and enjoying life was something heart warming.
‘My friend is so unfortunate. Her head cook just had to die when she was beginning to feel happier. But not to worry because I will cheer her up.’
“Rui, did something good happens to you? Your face is almost glowing.”
Freshia tried to start a conversation, but for some reason, Rui’s face broke out into a flushed expression. She even looked at her side to avoid looking at Freshia.
