Chapter 50
Time flew by, and soon, it was the beginning of the month, the reopening day of Sunset Cafe.
Due to the overwhelming success of the previous coupon promotion, Eliana added a new event: the first 50 customers would receive a free Black Forest cake.
Though there were many cafes near Isonstead University, theme cafes were rare.
Under Eliana’s renovation, Sunset Cafe transformed from an ordinary establishment into a four–season–themed cafe. It offered seasonal flavors tailored to the weather and featured custom–designed decor.
The unique concept, combined with the promotion, drew a crowl. Even those not interested in coffee came to experience the atmosphere.
By the time the owners arrived to open the cafe early in the morning, a long queue had already formed at the door.
Amazed by the turnout, they opened for business while calling Eliana to update her on the situation.
Eliana was on her way, having anticipated that the cafe’s reopening would be a hit. The couple would undoubtedly be busy. so she had specifically come to help today.
When Eliana arrived at the cafe, Stella also pulled up on her bicycle.
“Eliy Stella called as she locked her bicycle and jogged over.
“Stella” Eliana greeted, smiling
The two exchanged a smile. Let’s go!” Eliana said.
The last time, Eliana had given Stella a dress, and Stella, unsure how to repay the favor, had agreed to come help at the cafe.
After entering. Eliana took a few uniforms and custom aprons out of her bag.
Once they all changed, they got to work serving and taking orders.
In reality, Eliana could have hired a few people to help, but she preferred to be hands–on herself.
However, due to time constraints and the fact that the cafe would not be as busy once the opening rush passed, the couple was able to handle everything on their own.
Eliana had worked at this cafe in her previous life, so she knew the ordering process by heart and felt no pressure at all.
The couple was making coffee backstage while Stella handled the serving. They worked together seamlessly.
Most of the customers were students from Isonstead University. As Eliana took orders at the front, her extraordinary temperament and exquisite appearance naturally drew the attention of many, and they could not help but steal a few extra glances at her.
Soon, they recognized her.
Miss, are you a student of Isonstead University?” one of them asked.
Eliana paused briefly and smiled, “Yes.”
“Wow, I know you. You’re Eliana Davis from the Campus Belle Competition, the Year One student in the Performance Department, right? One enthusiastically asked.

Previously, Ehana’s photo had been submitted for the Campus Belle Competition, and many members of the tennis club had voted for her, pushing her into the preliminaries in a short time.
She was more focused on the cafe than the rankings
She never expected to be recognized here. Eliana’s expression remained unchanged as she admitted it.
Yes, it’s me, Eliana said.
The few people in front of the bar had their eyes sparkling with surprise.
my god, you’re a hundred times more beautiful than in the photo!” one of them exclaimed
“Right? The photo was already stunning, and it was even an ID photo I never expected you to look even better in person. My god, your photo was such a failure,” another person added.
Tll change my vote right now! I’m voting for your a third person declared.
Eliana had indeed submitted a very casual photo–she just used an ID photo to sign up.
As for the other applicants, almost all of them used art or high–quality photos. It was already rare for them to look the same as their competition photos, let alone look better in person.
So. Eliana’s appearance surprised them.
“Eliana, you should go back and change your competition photo, Even if you just t that blurry ID photo of yours. one of them said.
a photo here, it will look better than
Eliana paused for a moment, smiled awkwardly, and quickly changed the subject. “What would you like to drink? I’ll order for you
After they ordered their coffee, they sat aside and waited. Then they secretly took a photo of Eliana, who was looking down while placing an order, along with a shot of the cafe’s decor.
They posted it on the forum with the title: [Location: Sunset Cafe on West Street. You have to come!! The beautiful barista. Who wouldn’t be mesmerized?]
The few photos quickly went viral, and it did not take long for them to attract a lot of attention. More people were heading
to the cafe.
The foot traffic for the opening had exceeded Eliana’s expectations.
There were just too many people.
The coffee beans that were prepared for the whole day were nearly gone by the end of the morning,
Eliana quickly called home and asked the servants to send more beans over.
Just as Eliana was busy handling things, Cameron and the others drove up.
There was a line outside the cafe, and all the tables inside were fall With no available seats, many people took their photos, grabbed their coffee to go, and left.
When Cameron entered the cafe, he immediately spotted Eliana, who was hard at work.
Her long hair was held back with a headband, and a few strands of hair fell messily across her forehead and naturally hung on her shoulders, adding a flirtatious charm to her already stunning features.
What the others had said was true–this version of Eliana, even with a casual photo, looked far better than the ID picture

from the campus belle competition
Cameron wax instantly captivated. He could clearly feel his heart race as his gaze softened with tenderness.
When he looked at her, there was a hint of gentleness in his eyes
The group walked over.
Cameron called out, “Eliana!“
0.63%
When Eliana heard the voice, she raised her head and looked at them. Her smile, which had been part of her service, faded,
Eliana responded, “Why are you here? There are no seats for you. Do as you please.”
The other people in the cafe looked at the four of them, as if they had discovered a new world.
One of the customers exclaimed, “It’s F4!
Another customer gasped, “Oh my God, they’re here too.”
A third customer remarked, “They must know the junior who’s taking orders. Damn, they seem to have a good relationship, How enviable.
Cameron knew it was the opening day, so they had come by to take a look.
The group walked to the counter and chatted casually with Eliana while several girls from Isonstead University, who -ordering, stood next to them, overwhelmed with excitement, not knowing what to do.
“Eliana, what are we having for lunch this afternoon?” Thomas asked, placing his elbow on the bar counter.
Landon took out his phone and said, “I’m here to check in too. I post it on my Instagram.”
Adamn looked around and commented, “From the looks of it, business is booming.
Eliana immediately protested, “Please don’t! Don’t post anymore. My little cafe can’t take it.”
were
Cameron chuckled softly, glancing at the two nearly empty barrels of coffee beans. He asked, “The coffee beans are almost gone. We should be able to close the shop earlier, right?”
Eliana responded, “No! I’ve already called my family to send me more coffee beans. It’s the opening day, I want to sell until the sky turns dark.”
Thomas, leaning casually on the bar, teased, “Eliana, don’t act like this. It’s as if your family can’t afford you. Don’t you have enough pocket money?”
The Davis family was not short on money, so it was puzzling why Eliana was acting like such a little money–grubber, obsessed with making money.
If Lucy and Sebastian found out that their precious daughter was working so hard for just a few hundred bucks in daily revenue, they would not know what to think.
