Chigo smiled and didn't say anything. One had to go through some things to understand it. Hence, there was no point in talking about it now.
He glanced at Claudia, who was in front of him. She was still turning back to look at Sebastian.
Although the two of them were here, Claudia had her eyes fixed on Sebastian for most of the time.
He could tell that she wanted to take action.
If he hadn't seen it for himself, he wouldn't have believed it.
But he did.
Claudia bought two items from a stall. They were a pair of cute matching couple mugs.
She thought, "I have to buy something. If I don't buy something, I will be criticized again."
After she paid for the mugs, she grabbed the bag and turned around, only to find that Chigo and Sebastian were conversing secretly.
Both of them had solemn expressions, and Sebastion was casting a detestable glance at her. At times, he would even shake his head in distaste.
Claudia found it strange. She frowned and thought, "Are they talking about me?"
Nevertheless, she didn't really mind them gossiping behind her back. After all, there was nothing much to talk about. She walked over to them and said, "Mr. Robinson, are you in a hurry? I've already bought the things I needed, so we can leave now."
Sebastian was stunned to hear that Claudia was already ready to leave. He looked at the time.
It had only been a few minutes since they left earlier.
No more than ten minutes had passed.
Sebastian looked at Claudia with a frown and asked, "Are you sure you've done shopping?"
Claudia smiled slightly while looking at him, "There's still a minute away from the ten minutes we've agreed upon, right? Since I've already gotten what I needed, why don't we head back? I don't want to waste your time anymore since I'm pretty sure that you two would be pretty upset with me."
Sebastian pursed his lips. It was true that he'd be mad if she stayed any longer.
Meanwhile, Chigo smiled and looked at the bag in Claudia's hand. He decided to change the topic and ask, "What did you buy?" "A matching pair of mugs," Claudia opened her bag and took it out for Chigo to have a look.
Chigo raised his brows, confused as to why she bought them, "It looks unique, but I have to say that they're kind of plain."
It looked like it could be bought anywhere.
"Mr. Robinson, I don't think you understand. Mugs are versatile as gifts. You can give them to anyone, and they will be reminded of you when they use them. Isn't that great?"
Chigo paused for a second before nodding thoughtfully, "That's true. Why didn't I think about that?"
Sebastian looked at them with disdain. The mugs she bought were quite pretty. They had faces on each of them, and when placed closer together, they looked like a couple kissing.
Kissing passionately at that.
The mugs formed a perfect loving couple, as though they were forever meant for each other.
When separated, the two mugs looked like just two separate human faces. It was very artistic indeed.
However, they were nothing more than mugs as they weren't anything special.
Girls loved such things, and guys would never understand why.
In Chigo's opinion, Claudia was just using shopping as an excuse.
Soon, the trio were on their way to the barbecue restaurant.
After taking a few steps, Chigo's phone rang. He said to Sebastian and Claudia, "I'll meet you guys after I take this call. You guys can meet up with Sylvia and Mr. Trevino first."
Claudia looked at the phone in his hand. It was indeed ringing. Since Chigo didn't answer the call right away, it was probably an important call.
She nodded, "Okay. See you at the restaurant."
