Chapter 60: Business partner acquired
Coco was humming softly and slowly cutting the dragon fruit with practiced ease that she had acquired from her previous life.
She might not eat dragon fruits every week or every month like any other people on Earth, but she at least knows how to cut it to make it pleasing for the eyes.
"Coco, you need to tell that lady that you need three hundred gold coins instead of two hundred. You need to pay off Coco Hughes’s debt more, you know!" The fairy whined for the nth time, she was adamant on getting that three hundred gold coins.
Once more, Coco ignored the garden fairy and finished peeling off, cutting, and placing the dragon fruit slices on the plate.
She washed her hands and the knife she used before she went back to her seat, placed the dragon fruit slices on the table and handed Mrs. Tani a fork.
"Try some." Coco said, watching as Mrs. Tani accepted the fork and eyed the fruit warily.
The white haired woman stared at the strange looking food on a plate, its bright pink flesh cut into neat cubes, making it look appetizing enough for the eyes.
Mrs. Tani used the fork to pick up a cube and brought it to her mouth, her hand steady and her grip tight as she shoved the cube inside her mouth.
As she bit down on the fruit, the sweet and tart flavours of the dragon fruit filled her mouth in an instant. The fruit was smooth and juicy, the flesh giving way easily under the pressure of the roof of her mouth and her tongue.
