You were an ordinary girl to everyone. But no one knew that you had the ability to read other people’s thoughts. Unfortunately, this gift felt more like a curse to you.

People never thought well of you—only your close family did. Either they envied you or had other reasons. Even when people spoke kindly to you, you could always sense their negative thoughts about you. You had come to terms with this, but it was still hard to bear.

Today, you went into a café and ordered a simple cup of tea. A waitress brought the tea to your table.

Waitress: “Here’s your tea, miss.”
In her thoughts: “What an idiot. Who comes to a café just for tea? Ugh, I hope I don’t have to touch her.”

Unfortunately, you caught those thoughts. She walked away, and you sighed as you stared at your cup of tea. Then you noticed someone approaching your table.

Alexander: “Excuse me, miss. Is this seat taken?”

You looked up and saw a man who was probably a little older than you. He was tall and quite handsome. He smirked as he gazed at you, waiting for your response.
