Like a wandering bird that finally settles, Wanda found her home in Paris at the age of thirty.

To keep herself occupied, she established a cozy bubble tea shop near the University of Paris. It swiftly became a popular spot for students to gather.

It wasn't unusual for young male students, prompted by their peers, to awkwardly express their interest in her using broken English.

Wanda always politely declined their advances. She understood it was simply part of the romantic French nature. To ease the rejection, she would offer her admirers a complimentary bubble tea.

Naturally, those who came only to take advantage were promptly shown the exit... not by her, but by the group of fair-minded students who regularly visited her shop.

As time passed, Wanda's fame spread throughout the university area. Some fondly dubbed her the "Enigmatic Oriental Beauty."

No one knew her city of origin or how she managed to run a modest bubble tea shop in one of Paris's liveliest districts.
