"Grayson is here?" I repeated, my heart skipping a beat as I rushed toward the door.


    "Sel-"

    I nced back at Margot and quickly said, "He''s an important person. I need to see him."


    She gave me a small nod, and without another word, I left the changing room.


    Scanning the café, I spotted Grayson seated at a table near the window, his attention focused on his phone. Taking a deep breath, I approached and stood beside his table.


    "Grayson."


    At the sound of his name, he lifted his head, his sharp eyes meeting mine.


    "Selene, can we talk?"


    I immediately assumed it had something to do with my brother, and I was about to


    agree, but then I nced down at my apron.


    "Actually, I''m on duty right now. Is this about my brother?"


    His gaze flickered to my uniform, and after a brief pause, he replied, "It''s okay. I can wait until your shift is over."


    His patience caught me off guard. I hadn''t expected such a considerate response, especially since I was the one who needed his help. My brother''s condition wasn''t his responsibility, after all-it was


    mine.


    From the corner of my eye, I noticed Margot watching me from behind the counter, her eyebrows raised as if silently asking what was going on.


    "I''m in the mood for some mocha. Can you make one for me?" Grayson''s voice pulled me back to the


    moment.


    I turned to face him, giving a slight nod. "Sure."


    As I headed back to the counter, I couldn''t help but notice how a few of my coworkers were sneaking nces in Grayson''s direction. He was undeniably attractive, and I wasn''t blind to it either.


    "Who is he, Miss Selene?" one of the waitresses asked from behind the counter.


    "Dr. Grayson."


    Her eyes widened with curiosity. "Your boyfriend?"


    I blinked, momentarily stunned by the question.


    “No,” I answered firmly as I stepped behind the counter and began preparing his


    mocha, Margot, who had been oddly quiet until now, finally spoke up.


    "I didn''t catch what you were saying earlier. What was it?" I asked her.


    She hesitated for a second before shrugging. "Nothing. I was just wondering-who exactly is he to you?" She nodded slightly in Grayson''s direction.

    "He''s Dr. Grayson Vale."


    Margot''s eyes widened in shock. "Wait-Dr. Grayson Vale? The healer?"

    I nodded, and she let out a quiet sigh before murmuring under her breath, "Of course. Why wouldn''t our ex-Luna be connected to high-profile people?" Her words made me freeze for a moment. Did she just call me ex-Luna? Shaking off the thought, I finished making the mocha, poured it into a mug, and ced it on a tray. Just as I was about to deliver it, I turned back to Margot.


    "Would it be alright if I talked to him for five minutes? I promise I won''t step away again during my shift."


    She let out a smallugh. “Selene, have I ever stopped you from doing anything? I''ve always told you that you remind me of my daughter. I trust you enough to leave this shop in your hands every day."


    Her kindness warmed my heart, and for a brief moment, I felt relieved that Kane hadn''t canceled his order. It would be good for Margot''s business.


    "Thanks, Margot."


    With that, I walked back to Grayson''s table and set the tray down in front of him. "Here''s your mocha."


    He smiled up at me. "I''d enjoy it more if a beautifuldy kept mepany."


    I couldn''t help but chuckle. "Alright, let me find a pretty waitress for you."


    But before I could turn away, his voice stopped me.


    "I meant the most beautiful woman in this shop. Or, should I say, the most beautiful woman in this entire pack?"
