A Chanced Encounter 3

Caleb was a famous name in the construction business. He was raised by Brandon, after his parents abandoned him. He was a gangster by heart but a businessman in appearance. If put in simple words, his business was the cover that Brandon needed so that he could be among the elites whilst his dark business going on. He had been through violent times alongside Brandon but never left him. Raised in a criminal environment, had ironically, made positive as well as negative impactson Caleb. He could make out people's intentions just by glancing but his subjects always feared whether is it a gaze or a glare.

And right now, the cross-dressed Zsadin' actions made Caleb observed him as his expressions changed from amused to annoyed to cold. This man has black eyes deep like a bottomless pit but something about his face made him a little uncomfortable. He was not well-built but also couldn't be called as malnourished. He had a white coloured shirt on and wore grey trousers. It was as if this person was passing by but stopped to eat. As he was observing this strange specimen, he couldn't make out what this person had in mind. And this feeling of uncertainty was a first for him, he was frustated. Then Caleb saw him nudge a male staff and say something in his ear, the male staff smiled in a apologizing manner while the man just sneered. Seeing which the staff took his cup away, and immediately brought him another cup. The person took a sip and made a satisfied expression.

He nudged his companions who went to enquire about the matter.

"What happened with that customer?"

"We did a gender check, he ordered a coffee with no sugar and we gave him one with sugar. He was not angry but annoyed", and the male staff returned to continue what he was doing.

Caleb was well familiar with the owner of Fort's and knew that Fort's was a dangerous place and they didn't allow women to visit. The owner of Fort's always thought that the opposite sex was fond of sweets and would always do a gender check like this. However, Zsadin was not a fan of sweet things. Also, the staff knew who these people in black were as well as who Caleb was, so they conversed very carefully.

Zsadin could notice the expressions of the man before her through his body language yet she continued eating. She would nonchalantly glance at the subject and take in his appearance as much she could. She had to admit that this person was devilishly handsome and looked very elegant. His black suit suited him very well and he looked like he belonged at Fort's. Zsadin could sense the dangerous aura that was surrounding her.

Suddenly, there was a chaos and many people barged into the café.

"How are you, ma boy?"
