Chapter 482
After slowly finishing his meal, he said to Cornelia with a smug face. “All done! What’s next on the menu?”
The street food scene was brimming with choices, and Cornelia wanted to try each one of them. But the most intriguing for her was fried grasshoppers, a local delicacy that many tourists shy away from She had heard before that Woodpiners have a taste for fried grasshoppers. While many people find this horrifying, Cornelia was itching to give
it a go
With the food night in front of her, how could Cornelia resist?
“You up for a taste” Comelia asked
Ignoring how gross it might look a lot of these food stalls displayed their food openly, with no cover. Dust from the ground could have landed on them, how could Marcus have an appetite” But seeing Cornelia so excited, he couldn’t let her down, “Sure.”
Cornelia ran over and ordered a plate of fried grasshoppers, “Let’s sit inside first. We can leave after eating”
“Sure” Marcus said
The place was packed, with no vacant tables. Cornelia spotted a four–seater with only two people and hurried over to ask, “Excuse me, are these seats taken?”
The woman said, “Yes”
The man said. “No”
Clearly, the woman wasn’t keen on sharing But with no other seats available, Cornelia didn’t have a choice.
She wiped down the table and chairs with a sanitizing wipe and called Marcus over, “President Hartley, over here”
The shop was small, and tall Marcus looked like a giant inside, giving off an intense aura. The girl sharing the table was all set to complain, but the sight of Marcus stopped her dead in her tracks.
The man next to her was not happy and nudged her, “What are you looking at?”
The woman retorted, “So, you can ogle pretty girls but I can’t look at handsome guys?”
The man stayed silent while the woman got even bolder, “I must’ve been blind to marry a bum like you. Even for dates, you can only afford to bring me to this cheap dump”
The man kept his head down and ignored her. The woman got even angrier at the lack of response, “You never listen when I talk to you.”
