Predatory Marriage (Web Novel)
Chapter 341: Jealousy (1)
Chapter 340 – Bookstore (3)
Translator: Atlas / Editor: Regan
The man had charged her the wrong price for the book. Leah had paid far less than she should have. As a matter of fact, the bookshop was going to go bankrupt if he managed it this way.
She couldnt imagine why the store was in the hands of this person. Checking the price of the book again, Leah pulled out two coins.
“Mura, wait a minute,” she said. “The clerk made a mistake with the price…”
Leaving the book with Mura, she went back to the bookstore to find the register unoccupied. She was about to call out when she noticed the door at the back of the bookstore was propped up, leading to a side alley.
When she slipped out the door, she found the man smoking a cigar in the alley, gazing blankly at the sky. The sight reminded her so much of Ishakan, she stopped and unknowingly watched him for a minute as he smoked.
But a frown came to her face as she looked at his white hands, traced with veins. The smell of the cigar was also totally different from the ones Ishakan liked. The acrid smell made her nose itch.

Leah held her breath and quickly approached, holding out the two silver coins.
“You charged me the wrong price for the book.”
He did not look surprised at her sudden appearance.
“Oh, thank you very much,” he said mildly, taking the coins with nonchalance.
It made Leah suspicious. Had he deliberately made a mistake? Maybe he had done it with the intention of getting her to return to the shop, though she couldnt imagine what his motive might be.
The man pitched his cigar to the ground and crushed it with his foot. He seemed like he wanted to talk, but Leah had no reason to continue a conversation, and turned away.
“Ill be going.”
“Oh, wait,” he said, catching her sleeve. “Would you like to have tea? Theres a good coffee shop nearby.”
