Chapter 258

• Idle Days
• For several days, life had been incredibly idle. I would wait at home for Mr. Adler to finish work and return. Sometimes, the wait felt unbearably long. I had few friends, and the only person I could ask to meet for coffee was Josephine Lane. However, Josephine Lane was quite busy with her own plans of opening a coffee shop.
• When I mentioned this to Mr. Adler, he seemed lost in thought and then asked if I wanted to partner with Josephine Lane in opening the coffee shop. I had never even considered this possibility before, and in that moment, I realized the vast differences between people.
