Chapter 839 New Product
Heather had been sticking close to Natalie. After the afternoon shoot, they planned to grab some tea. Derek was driving. Most of the shops were already open. Usually, Natalie would be with Rosalie, but this year, she was flying solo.
Sitting in the car, Natalie casually asked, "How's Rosalie doing?"
Heather replied, "She's out of the hospital and doing well. Jerry's been taking good care of her. She moved out of her old apartment, so it's empty now."
At the mention of the apartment, Natalie decided to give Bella a call.
Bella had found the apartment. According to her, it belonged to a friend of a friend who was abroad and rarely came back.
Bella, who was pregnant and feeling a bit tired, answered with a sleepy voice, "Natalie."
Natalie said, "Still in bed? It's already afternoon."
Bella sighed, "I stayed at the hospital most of last night. A nurse said she saw Austin's finger move, so I rushed over and stayed all night, but Austin didn't move at all and is still in a coma."
Bella had hoped Austin might wake up and didn't want to miss any chance.
Natalie asked, "How about afternoon tea? I just finished shooting a commercial. I'm at Central Plaza. Derek can pick you up."
"Sure, I'll get ready," Bella agreed.
Natalie and Heather arrived at a restaurant on the 9th floor of Central Plaza.
About 15 minutes later, Bella showed up.
She was wearing a white wool coat with a matching sweater underneath.
She took off her coat and draped it on a nearby rack.
A waiter came over.
Bella was a regular here, but she didn't have much of an appetite today. So she only ordered a few pastries and a cup of coffee.
It was hard to tell if it was because of the pregnancy or because Austin hadn't woken up. Bella had been feeling extremely tired lately and couldn't muster any enthusiasm.
Hearing that Heather's boyfriend Yancy owned a bar, she frowned slightly. "Is the bar open now?" Bella felt so bored.
Heather said, "Yancy's staff are all on holiday. He's the only one at the bar."
Just then, Heather's phone rang. It was Yancy calling.
She smiled and answered, "Yeah, I'm out having afternoon tea with some friends."
After chatting for a bit, she hung up and suggested, "Why don't we go to the bar tonight? Just the three of us. We can have a blast."
Natalie didn't have any other plans.
Bella thought for a moment and agreed, "Sure. Let's go."
She didn't have anywhere else to be anyway.
The three of them went to the bar that evening. Yancy was the only one there. He had wiped down all the glasses at the bar. In the dim light, the glasses gleamed with a cold brightness. Yancy's fingers lightly touched the glasses, producing a crisp clinking sound. These weren't cheap glasses. Only crystal-clear, flawless glasses looked especially beautiful when filled with cocktails.
Heather introduced Bella to Yancy. Yancy smiled and nodded, inviting Bella to sit down. Informed that Bella was pregnant, he made her a cocktail that was safe for pregnant women.
It was a deep blue liquid with two mint leaves inside and tasted refreshingly sweet. But it wasn't very sweet. There was a subtle aftertaste.
