Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1393

More and more bamboo curtains were being lowered. This meant that the collective blind date in this café was about to begin.

Cecilia never expected that her first blind date would turn out to be a group event. Sue probably had no idea about the nature of blind dates in this place.

Well, that was okay.

Cecilia had no plans to explain it to her mother when she got home. After the incident with Noel, Cecilia's mindset had matured. She was no longer the girl who used to share every detail with her mother.

One must walk their own path in life.

A cup of Cloud Peak Coffee was soon placed in front of her. Its aroma wafted through the air, and Cecilia's interest was suddenly piqued even more.

She grabbed the waitress. "Who’s the owner of this place?"

Not only could the owner run a flexible business and explore new models, but he also maintained a high standard of coffee quality. It was a bit regrettable that she didn't know the owner.

"Our boss is an old man," the waitress said, smiling. "He says he's getting old, and doesn't like to show his face, so..."

The waitress hesitated, shaking her head. "Ms. Jarvis, I'm afraid you won't be able to meet him, even if you wish to see him."

Cecilia immediately expressed understanding. "That’s okay."

In reality, she just wanted to ask some business advice from him. With Diana not around recently, and Fanny...

She couldn't think about Fanny.

Her heart felt heavy whenever she remembered Fanny, who had passed away just two days ago. Fanny was a star she admired so much. They had become friends after sharing a meal together, too.

Now, Fanny was gone.

"It's not a microphone," the waitress explained. "It's a voice changer."

"A voice changer?"

"Yes. You can choose to use it or not. See, this..." She pressed a button. "When you turn it on, you can choose various voices. Cute, sexy, and even a rough tomboyish voice."

This way, not only appearances but even voices could be manipulated. The subsequent conversation could also be deceptive—like a form of disguise.

Cecilia's confidence in this blind date suddenly diminished.

She became more indifferent. "I don't want to wear it."

Even though she couldn't see her suitor’s face or show hers, she wanted to have a genuine conversation using her own voice.
