“Yes. Isabella brought me here before.”
“How it was?”
“Better than hamburgers. At least that’s what I think. Do you want to try it?”
“Here?”
“Yes. You have to eat as you walk around the place.”
Eric hesitated, as he obviously didn’t accept eating walking the streets. I suddenly wanted to play a
trick on him, so before he could say anything, I ordered two meatloaves.
“It’s already going up!” The owner
quickly gave me
buns.
I handed him one, but he didn’t even take a bite, while I munched on mine. Even though I had already
eaten much earlier tonight, I did. five stomachs, so finishing the meatloaf was easy.
When I finished, Eric was still holding his meatloaf and licking his lips. “Are you going to eat it? Give it
to me if you don’t go.”
As he spoke, I picked up his roll and ate it. This finally made him snap, so he took it back and ate it,
much to my shock. I just took a bite! Won’t he feel disgusted?
The meatloaf tasted good, so Eric had a few more bites. When he noticed my look, he tried to feed me
his bread, and I looked at him, shocked. He smiled smugly before taking his bagel back and finishing.
I clumsily moved forward, head down, as Eric quickly followed and took my hand. “What are you
doing?” I whistled.
He ignored my question and continued to hold my hand as we made our way through the crowd. As we
walked, I could feel my face and ears turning scarlet, but I couldn’t refuse.
Then a little girl selling flowers got in our way. “Here, sir, a rose for your sweetheart.”
“No”, I said in refusal.
Eric ignored my protests and took a rose stem from the girl, looking delighted. “How much does this
cost?”
“Eighteen.”
Eric handed me the rose and dug through his pockets. However, he didn’t bring any money with him,
so I expected him to be embarrassed. Instead, he asked me for money without feeling the least bit C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
embarrassed. “Give her the money. I’ll pay you back later.”
This was the first time anyone had asked me to pay for a flower they bought for me, so I gave the girl
fifty. As she was about to give us our change, Eric said, “Keep the change.”
So he took me away, much to my chagrin. “You just had to pretend to be rich, huh?” I looked at him.
“But I am rich.” He smiled at me, ignoring the fact that I was making fun of him.
“Hmph! This is the first time I have had to pay for a flower someone bought for me.”
“There are only fifty. I will give it to you ten times later.”
Do you think you’re great just because you have money? Alright, alright, you are. It was impossible to
win when it came to money, since he was richer than me, and that was an undeniable fact. “Let’s go
back. My legs hurt.”
He looked down at my feet which were clad in slippers. “Clear.”
When we got back to the car, I tried to take off my hat and sunglasses, but Eric suddenly blocked
me. “Do not move!” Something flashed and I realized that we were being photographed.
