Sino-Capital Tower.
Stella Sterling parked the Camry in the underground garage.
She ambled leisurely to the first-floor lobby.
By sheer coincidence, Willow was working her weekend part-time job there again.
"Sterling," she said with a gentle smile. "What would you like to drink? I'll make it for you."
Stella Sterling scanned the QR code. "Two pour-overs, please."
Wearing an apron, Willow expertly operated the machine.
Stella watched for a moment, then had a flash of inspiration. "Willow, where did you say you were from again?"
Willow looked up and answered honestly, "Sterling, I'm from Virenia."
'So it was her.'
Before her business trip, Phoebe Pierce had told her about the coffee beans from Virenia.
At the time, Stella had only registered that she knew someone from Virenia.
Seeing Willow just now, the memory resurfaced—she realized that when Willow had started, she seemed to recall her mentioning she was from Virenia.
