Olivia probably felt it was not appropriate to discuss this matter with her and changed the subject, [Just have fun on your trip and remember to bring back gifts for me! Donโt come back if you donโt bring any gifts!] After that, she sent a series of intimidating emojis.
Enna chuckled and quickly replied to her on the phone, [Okay.]
The phone screen went quiet.
She put down her phone and gazed at the azure sea outside the window. Birds soared freely in the sky, and the waves lapped against the rocks, creating a pleasant soundโฆ
Ennaโs mood gradually relaxed.
Whatever, it doesnโt matter if William comes back. It has nothing to do with her anyway.
Since the day five years ago when he had rejected her, they had become strangers without any connection.
Enna forcefully suppressed the last bit of sadness in her heart and placed a pillow beside her head.
She hadnโt rested for a whole day and had taken a 5-hour flight, leaving her extremely fatigued. After the initial excitement of seeing the sea faded away, sleepiness gradually crept in. Ennaโs eyelids battled with each other. Before long, she fell into a deep sleep.
After a restful sleep!
By the time she woke up, it was already the afternoon. The warm sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, making her feel extremely comfortable.
Enna yawned, rubbed her eyes, and sat up.
The Presidential Suite remained the same as it was before she went to sleep, apparently Baron Lawrenceโs meeting had not yet finished. Remembering that she can go out later, her mood instantly lifted.
Enna went to the cloakroom, changed into a simple dress, tied her long hair into a ponytail, and left the room full of youthful charm.
โGood morning, Ms. Clark.โ
Since she had called Scott in advance, he was already waiting in the hotel lobby when she came down.
Enna greeted him with a smile, โGood morning.โ
She walked up to Scott and asked excitedly, โMr. Harris, where are we going later?โ
โWhere would you like to go, Miss Clark?โ Scott asked her.
โMe?โ Enna was taken aback, but she was not the kind of person to be pretentious. She answered candidly, โI donโt know. Honestly, this is my first time in country W, and Iโm not familiar with the language or the best places to visit. โ
Scott looked at her in surprise.
In the many years following Baron, he had seen all types of socialites and beautiful women. However, it was the first time he encountered someone as frank as Enna.
After some thought, he suggested, โHow about I accompany you to the Night Market? There is one not far from the beach, which offers a variety of local specialties. You can have a look around.โ
โSure.โ Enna replied excitedly.
It just happened that she had promised to bring gifts back for Olivia. ๐ฏ๐ป๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐๐ท๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ก.๐๐๐ข
Just as Scott said, the Night Market was not far from their hotel.
The Night Market was located near the coastline Enna had seen when she first arrived at the hotel. Although it spanned only one street, the abundance of visitors made it extremely lively.
Enna was immediately attracted to the dazzling array of trinkets and souvenirs.
Seeing that she was engrossed in her selection and had sunlight tinging her cheeks, Scott thought for a moment and said, โMiss Clark, you continue to browse here and donโt wander off. Iโll go buy some coconut milk for you.โ
โOkay.โ
Scott left to get the coconut milk.
Ennaโs attention was still focused on the exotic trinkets at the stall when she suddenly spotted a simple and unadorned silver ring amidst an array of colorful jewelry. Her eyes lit up, and she picked up the ring to ask the stall owner, โBoss, how much is this?โ
The ring had a simple and elegant design, perfect for a man to wear.
The stall owner was clearly a native of country W, and spoke a long string of words in his language. Enna couldnโt understand a single word. She tried to communicate using the few words in their language that she knew.
Suddenly, a bratty voice interrupted the conversation, โWow, thatโs such a beautiful ring. Husband, I want the one sheโs holding! Can you buy it for me?โ
Upon hearing a familiar language, Enna turned her head to look.
Not far away stood a man and a woman.
The man was probably in his early forties, fat and slightly balding, creating a uniquely unattractive look. The woman clinging to his arm appeared to be in her early twenties, with a melon-seed-shaped face, large eyes, and waist-length black hair, looking pure and charming.
The pair stood out as visual extremes.
Enna couldnโt help but take a second look. That wouldnโt have been a big deal; anyone would do the same upon seeing such a peculiar couple. But for some reason, her gaze seemed to anger the young woman. The ladyโs eyebrows rose as she glared at Enna and rudely yelled, โWhat are you looking at? Havenโt you ever seen a beautiful woman before? You bumpkin!โ
Enna was never the type to respond to a slap with a smile. She smiled faintly and retorted, โIndeed, Iโve never seen a foul-mouthed beautiful woman before.โ
She emphasized โfoul-mouthedโ very clearly.
The young womanโs face turned an ugly shade, and her hostile gaze intensified. She clung to the manโs arm and pleaded, โHusband, I want the ring sheโs holding!โ
Enna pretended she hadnโt heard that and continued negotiating with the stall owner.
Seeing this, the young woman angrily clenched her teeth, grabbed the manโs hand tightly, and said with a heavier tone, โHusband!โ
The impatient man walked up to the stall owner, pointed at the ring in Ennaโs hand, and mumbled something in the local language.
The stall owner then held up two fingers, and the man took out 30 dollars from his wallet and handed it over.
He then turned his head to Enna and said, โMiss, Iโve bought this ring. Please give it to me.โ
Enna took a step back with the ring in her hand and refused, โIโm sorry, but I saw it first. I canโt give it to you.โ
The young woman, not taking no for an answer, shrieked, โWeโve already paid for it, how can you still hold on to our item?! Have you no shame?โ Her voice was loud and shrill, immediately drawing a crowd of onlookers. freewebn ovel.com
โWhatโs going on? Are they arguing?โ
โIt seems like theyโre fighting over an item. That lady saw the ring first, but she canโt speak the local language and couldnโt agree on the price with the stall owner. The rude woman now wants that lady to hand over the ring, since she and her husband have paid for it.โ
โWho robs someone like this?โ Some people couldnโt bear to watch.
Others didnโt see a problem, โThey paid first, so it belongs to whoever pays first.
Some people saw through the situation, โI think that woman isnโt really interested in the ring, she just likes to take other peopleโs things. Look, the silver ring is for men, and her husbandโs fingers are already full of rings. Why would he need that one?โ
The surrounding crowd pointed and whispered.
The man couldnโt take the pressure and his expression changed. He looked at Enna with unease and stepped forward, โMiss, what do you want in return for giving us the ring?โ
He saw that Enna was alone, young, and dressed inconspicuously, and dismissed her with a flash of contempt in his eyes. He pulled out his wallet, took out two 15-dollar bills, and threw them down in front of Enna, โIs this enough?โ
He was clearly insulting her!
Ennaโs face went pale.. She was about to throw the money back in his face when she heard a familiar voice in the crowd, โSeriously? Youโre bragging over a measly 30 dollars?โ
