Chapter 310 - 318: The Kitchen Maid
At three in the afternoon, James Brown and Lucy Campbell were in a supermarket. James was pushing a shopping cart, with Lucy walking alongside him, occasionally picking items from the shelves and placing them into the cart.
"You’ve never been to a supermarket?" James couldn’t help but ask as he watched Lucy’s joyous and curious behavior.
Smiling, Lucy replied, "Yes, this is my first time. Do I seem pitiful for never having been to a supermarket before?"
James laughed and said, "It is quite pitiful, but also understandable. Wherever you go, you’re followed by a crowd of people. Visiting a supermarket would be inconvenient, and besides, you don’t lack anything, so there’s no need for you to come to one."
"But that means missing out on a lot of fun in life."
"It’s a good thing nobody else heard you say that; otherwise, you’d definitely get criticized."
Pretending to be very careful, Lucy glanced around and then chuckled, "Good thing it’s just the two of us."
As they continued shopping, James felt immense pressure. Lucy was so beautiful that every man who saw her couldn’t help but take a few more glances, and the women too were no different. And him, as her escorting Messenger, naturally ended up being gawked at as well.
James had been used to being watched when he protected leaders and dignitaries, but back then, he was in the role of a bodyguard, unnoticed. Now it was different; walking alongside Lucy, chatting and laughing softly with her, they looked like a couple. How could people not be curious to know who was accompanying such a ravishing beauty like Lucy?
Finally, after finishing shopping, they paid and left the supermarket. Once in the car, Lucy teasingly said, "Why the long face? Are you fed up with supermarket trips with me?"
"It’s not that I’m fed up; I just can’t stand those stares. It feels like they’re all saying a fresh flower has been stuck on a pile of cow dung."
