Bab 1602: Short, Dark, and Handsome

Effie slowly turned around, just in time to notice the unreasonably gorgeous proprietor of the Brilliant Emporium falling. Three cups of coffee that he had been carrying on a tray were flying into the air in slow motion. 

It seemed that he had tripped. 

Without missing a beat, the enigmatic shopkeeper regained his balance with a graceful half-step, extended his hand unhurriedly, and caught all three cups on the tray without spilling a single drop.

A moment later, he smoothly approached the table and placed the cups down, acting as if nothing had happened. Then, the nonchalant young man smiled pleasantly and gave her a respectful bow. 

"Saint Athena. Welcome."

Effie found herself unable to speak for a moment. 

'D—damn. So cool!'

At the same time, Sunny was nothing short of panicking on the inside. 

'What the hell?! No, what the actual hell?! I mean… what the hell?!'

How could she go and say something like that?!
