Chapter 295 - 302: Competition
The fruit section was less crowded than the seafood area, but to get the good fruits, one must be quick. After all, fruits don’t taste as good once they’ve sat for a while, and the ones at the bottom were squashed, not as fresh. Therefore, it’s best to wait for the fresh ones to be brought out and quickly grab more.
When the three of them got there, Sarah Johnson and Emily Clarke didn’t even have plates in their hands, just pointing at what they wanted to eat. James Brown, on the other hand, had a tray in one hand and was piling what they pointed out onto the plate. In no time, the stack on the plate was over ten centimeters high, looking quite impressive.
At that moment, a couple was picking fruits, and the boy’s plate was also stacked high, but his hand was very steady, confidently saying, "What else do you want to eat? Let’s grab some more."
The girl initially felt it was enough, but seeing James Brown’s plate stacked very high suddenly piqued her interest, saying, "Let’s get this, and this..."
The boy quickly placed the fruits his girlfriend pointed out onto the plate, and soon the stack was about to surpass that of James Brown’s.
This excited the girl, who deliberately said loudly: "You are really amazing, your skills are definitely better than anyone else." It was clearly meant for James Brown and his group to hear.
Sarah Johnson and Emily Clarke initially didn’t notice these two, but the girl’s shout caught their attention, and the competitive nature in girls always comes unreasonably. Feeling the girl showing off, both felt a sense of rivalry, with Sarah Johnson saying to James Brown: "Brother-in-law, someone is looking down on you, can you outdo him?"
Being with the two girls, James Brown felt younger and couldn’t help but feel playful. He laughed and said, "Let’s try." Then he picked some more items, and soon his stack was even higher than the boy’s.
"Darling, let’s get more."
The girl kept her eyes on James Brown’s plate, and immediately urged her boyfriend to keep up, not willing to be outdone.
The boy was also unwilling to lose. Usually, his skill made him a highlight of the buffet, but now being outdone by James Brown, he couldn’t swallow his pride, quickly stacking more items and soon surpassing James again.
