Chapter 18 - 18 market
Lucas gently grasped Kyra's hands as they strolled through the lively market. The wooden store had simple tables displaying a variety of goods. They perused the shelves, which showcased items such as clothes, intricately carved wooden figurines, and fragrant bars of soap.
Kyra's eyes widened with curiosity as she spotted the beautiful wooden bottles adorned with delicate carvings. "What are these?" she asked.
"They're wooden shampoo bottles," Lucas replied with a smile. Kyra's interest piqued, and she eagerly inquired, "Can we take a closer look?"
"Certainly," Lucas agreed, leading her towards the shampoo section. The seller of the shampoos was a handsome man, his hair shimmering silver and his eyes a beautiful shade of ocean blue. His eyes sparkled as he caught sight of Kyra.
"Would you like to purchase some shampoo? I have a wide range of fragrances such as rose, jasmine, gardenia, and tuberose," the seller enticingly offered, opening one of the bottles and wafting the scent towards Kyra. He marketed the shampoos as if they were luxurious perfumes rather than mere hair products.
Feeling ignored, Lucas couldn't help but feel wronged. He asked the seller, "Do you think I'm invisible?"
The seller turned his attention to Lucas and replied, "Yes"
Lucas: "..."
Lucas fell silent as the seller continued to assist Kyra in smelling the different shampoos.
Angrily, Lucas tugged Kyra away from the seller, who gazed at her with a forlorn hope that she would return and purchase his shampoo. Though he found Kyra undeniably beautiful, all he wanted was money and to become rich.
"Don't be angry, Lucas," Kyra comforted him, rubbing his arms gently as they walked hand in hand.
