A Treacherous Repayment

"Do you want tea or coffee?" Ariel asked with a small smile on her lips. She skimmed through the menu while waiting for Ariana to speak.

"Nothing. Just tell me what you want to tell me," Ariana did not wish to stay next to Ariel and sip on coffee or tea. This woman was the reason her life was in this mess, how could she have the patience to sit down and spend time with Ariel as if everything were fine?

Ariel closed the menu and placed it on the table. She did not glance at Ariana instead she turned and called for a server.

"A cold coffee for me and a cappuccino for her," just like always Ariel made a choice for Ariana without caring for what she wanted. "And oh, make sure to add a small fruit cake for me."

"Sure mam," the server jotted down everything on the notepad and then walked away. He glanced at Ariel and turned to look at Ariana, his eyes couldn't help but widen when he saw Ariana.
