Eloise was sure she didn’t hear misheard it, so she felt dizzy and messy in the head. “I don’t think it’s necessary. I mean how can I let you do groceries with me?”
Not to mention he was the president of the Rogers Group! He was a billionaire elite that was admired by millions of women! She couldn’t bear the consequences if any scandal arose because of this.
But Hector didn’t seem to see her point. “Why not?”
“Don’t you know the answer?” Eloise thought to herself.
It was weird to just imagine him appearing at the supermarket with his domineering aura.
They would definitely be surrounded by onlookers if he tagged along.
However, Eloise didn’t dare to express her thoughts and ended up saying, “Because you’re my guest! I wouldn’t want to trouble you with these petty chores.”
With that said, they reached the doorway to the house.
Eloise reached into her pocket for the key while holding Solomon in her arm.
Suddenly, Solomon raised his head and said, “Miss Thompson, I want to go with you.”
Eloise couldn’t help but laugh. “Why do you also want to go? Supermarket is not a very decent place, it’s messy and smelly!”
Even she herself couldn’t stand the smell of the raw meat and seafood sometimes.
Solomon said, “I don’t mind. I want to company Miss Thompson, please?” He looked at Eloise with expectation in his clear innocent eyes.
Eloise couldn’t help but swallow her rejection at the sight of Solomon’s pleading gaze. She agreed immediately, “Okay, let’s go together.”
“You’re the best, Miss Thompson!” Solomon exclaimed and planted a kiss on her cheek.
In that moment, Eloise’s heart melted and felt she would die for this little cutie.
Hector got jealous at the sight of this scene.
She rejected him when he asked to tag along but immediately agreed when Solomon asked for it!
What’s with this double standard!
While he was drowning in jealousy, Eloise turned around at him. “Mr. Rogers, is that okay if I take Solomon out?”
Hector nodded. “Of course.”
Eloise smiled. “Thank you. But I’m afraid I’ll have to ask you to come with us, so you can take care of Solomon for me while I do the shopping.”
Hector was naturally willing to do so. They then left for the supermarket.
…
They reached the supermarket after about ten minutes.
As this was the first time Hector came to a supermarket, he was shocked at the scene.
Bustling noises were roaring in the messy market. The sound of butchers chopping meat was thunderous. The motions of the merchants filleting fishes were swift and quick. But the smell of the raw meat and fishes was unbearable.
Feeling uncomfortable, Hector frowned.
Solomon also frowned while covering his nose with his hands.
Eloise had expected this and suggested, “Mr. Rogers, what about you just wait here with Solomon? It wouldn’t take long for me to buy the food.”
Solomon didn’t agree with the suggestion and held onto Eloise. “I want to stay with you.”
