Chapter 38 Your Happiness Is Priceless
Kaylee followed Violeta and the others as they left school.
Liam was waiting for them at the school gate.
The four boys and two girls left the gate and went to a Korean restaurant, where they reserved a private room for lunch.
When it was time to order, Violeta handed the menu to Kaylee.
“Kay, you can place the order.”
Kaylee took the menu carefully and noticed that even the cheapest set meal cost over 60 dollars.
Being an ordinary college student, Kaylee only received 270 dollars as her monthly living allowance.
How could she afford such an expensive meal? So, she handed the menu. back.
“Vio, you can order instead.”
Violeta noticed Kaylee’s embarrassment and said, “It’s okay. You don’t have to pay.”
Zoren nodded, “Yeah, you two girls are dining out with us. Why would you need to pay? Just order whatever you want. No need to be polite.”
Only then did Kaylee feel relieved, but she only ordered some ordinary dishes.
Then, the menu was passed around for everyone to place their orders.
While ordering, Violeta’s gaze fell upon a coffee shop across the street called Sunset Cafe.
She was very familiar with this cafe because she had worked there for half a year to save money in her previous life. The couple who owned the cafe treated her very well. They encouraged and supported her when they discovered her dream of becoming an actress.
During her most difficult times, they even let her eat and stay at the cafe for
free.

Unfortunately, the cafe didn’t do well and closed down. The couple returned to their hometown, and Violeta never saw them again.
In her previous life, she regretted being unable to repay these two kind people. Hayden noticed Violeta’s gaze was constantly fixed on the cafe across the street, so he asked, “Would you like some coffee?”
Violeta withdrew her gaze and smiled at Hayden, saying, “I want to go to the cafe across the street later.”
Hayden replied, “Sure, I’ll accompany you.”
After finishing their meal, Kaylee still couldn’t believe she had the opportunity. to dine with such a popular figure from school.
After leaving the restaurant, Kaylee politely bid them farewell and returned to her dormitory.
Hayden and the other three accompanied Violeta to the Sunset Cafe
The cafe was small, with only seven or eight small round tables inside. No one was behind the counter, but there was a small lucky cat ornament on the
cabinet.
Violeta walked over and touched the lucky cat ornament with her hand.
Then, they heard the owner’s voice as she came out from behind the curtain, saying, “Welcome! The menu is here. Just order whatever you like.”
Hayden and the others had only ever been to an upscale cafe and had never been to a regular one like this.
However, they didn’t show any hint of disdain on their faces due to their good manners. Instead, they politely placed their orders and found a seat
Violeta ordered an iced Americano and then scanned the familiar
surroundings of the cafe. She felt a sense of nostalgia as if she had been here just yesterday in her previous life.
The owner started to get busy. When she brought several cups of fragrant coffee, Hayden and the others sniffed and were surprised.
They didn’t expect that such an ordinary cafe would use top–quality beans.
Violeta had an expression of “You finally know that this cafe is a treasure
“Madam, your coffee beans smell amazing!”
The owner smiled happily and said, “Although our cafe is small, we use good coffee beans. Our main focus is on cost–effectiveness. As long as you like it, please come again next time.”
Violeta picked up the coffee and took a sip. It tasted familiar to her.
Then she said, “Madam, are you planning to sell this cafe?” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
The owner was taken aback and asked, “How did you know? I am indeed considering selling the cafe. Business has been tough, and I plan to return to my hometown with my husband. However, I haven’t made a final decision yet. After all, this coffee shop is my dream.”
Violeta quickly wrote down her phone number on a piece of paper and said, “If you ever decide to sell the cafe, please give me a call. I am interested in taking it over.”
Hayden and the others were taken aback by her sudden decision.
Why did Violeta suddenly make such a choice?
Even if she wanted to open a cafe, there were better options available.
The owner’s expression froze for a moment before responding, “I haven’t thought about it yet.”
Violeta reassured, “That’s alright. Just contact me when you are ready to sell. If you can’t bear to part with this cafe, we can also discuss a partnership. I can hire you, and we can continue working together.”
The owner was confused by Violeta’s words.
She didn’t really want to give up this cafe because opening a cafe was her dream. If it weren’t for the fact that she couldn’t sustain it anymore, she wouldn’t have been willing to sell it.
But she didn’t expect the young lady in front of her not only wanted to buy her cafe but also offered to hire them and pay their salaries.
“Miss, this cafe doesn’t do well. The monthly revenue is only a few hundred…

“It’s okay. Please take your time to consider.”
The owner wanted to say that hiring more staff wouldn’t be cost–effective due to the poor business.
Violeta knew better than anyone that this cafe didn’t have good business.
But in her previous life, the couple was willing to help her even when the business was not going well. They didn’t need to hire another person, but they still paid her a salary. Although not much, it was enough to cover her expenses then.
Moreover, if the couple were evil, they could have kept the fact that the cafe. didn’t have good business a secret from Violeta so they could negotiate a higher price.
But the owner didn’t do that, which meant they were good people.
So now Violeta was also willing to help them.
The owner took Violeta’s contact information.
After a moment, Violeta and her group left the cafe.
Zoren persuaded, “Vio, if you want to open a cafe, there are better locations. with more foot traffic. It’s too risky here. You might not even make a profit.”
“I want to take over because there are fewer people here. It’s peaceful.”
“Well, your happiness is priceless.”
Hayden said, “It’s getting late. Let’s go home.”
“Yeah.”
The tennis club’s rematch would be in three days.
Meanwhile, the news of Lily’s dismissal spread the next day.
After this news came out, both Candy and Gillian were shocked.
Zelena was also astonished. She never expected Lily to be expelled, and Hayden stood up for Violeta.
Lily’s dismissal undoubtedly served as a warning to others and improved the
atmosphere in the class,
However, at the same time, Zelena grew even more disgusted with Violeta.
She tacitly allowed Candy and Gillian to continue spreading rumors in the class, claiming that Violeta was the tyrant of the performing arts. She would expel and silence whoever she wanted.
This directly fueled the animosity towards Violeta from the other performing
arts classmates.
During the tennis club rematch, Zelena wanted to find someone to help her, but no one was willing.
After the incident at the tennis court last time, the tennis club members realized that Violeta had a special relationship with their club president. Who would be willing to take the risk of helping her target Violeta?
Violeta sat on the side, drinking water. At the same time, Henry, the person in charge of the preliminary evaluation for the tennis club, approached with a
bottle of water.
He said with a flattering expression, “Violeta, have some water.”
