286 Strolling like a Commoner 1 (1/2)
As the news of Mrs. Gray's arrival and display travel by mouth to the employees of Gray Group's main office, the lady in question in currently riding her husband's car away from the building.
”So where do you want to go, supermarket?” Vince asks her.
”No. Let's go to my favorite place to eat after my world changed.” Yve answers back but her reply confuses Vince more.
”What do you mean?”
”I will let you see the city from a commoner's life – something that I experienced for three years or at least before you came back in my life.”
”I'm fine with it but with my suit do you think…”
”No worries just remove your coat and I will the same thing. I'll style your hair a bit before we get off the car and we can pass as a university couple. It'll be fine.” Yve explains.
”Okay. I'll leave you in-charge. So where to, Mrs. Gray?”
”Let's go to the night market first.”
”Night market? Where is that?”
”Ah… just park at the previous hotel where I worked.”
”You know we owned that hotel now and there's no night market there.”
”Of course! Your hotel is rated as five-star. Your hotel is the best place where we can park your car. The night market doesn't have any parking space and with the value of your car, we can't just park it anywhere.” Yve explains.
Minutes later, Vince parks his car in his usual space of the hotel's parking lot. The staff greets their president but once they notice that he's with his wife and their former co-worker, some can't help but feel awkward.
”Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. Gray.” The manager greets them.
”Good evening. Don't mind us though. I'll just park my car here and leave.”
”Good evening, manager.”
”Mrs. Gray, please I don't deserve to be called your manager when you're the wife of my boss now.”
Yve only smiles at the man as he used to pass his tasks to her as his subordinate. But now, he's being polite because of her position as Vince's wife.
As they have informed, the couple exited the hotel and ride the taxi to go to the night market. As near as it can be, their taxi ride lasts for only 45 minutes from the hotel's main building. After getting off the taxi, Vince can't help but look around the area.
The place is true to its name. The stalls are portable and placed on the streets leaving small gaps for people to walk around. The original shops are already closed for the day. Yve notices her husband observing the entire place like a little kid who visits an entertaining area for the first time. Yve pulls Vince passing by different stalls. Some of them are selling used clothes, overrun items, personal and mobile accessories and most of all, food.
Vince whispers at Yve, ”The prices of the items they are selling are so cheap.”
”Yup and you can even ask the seller to lower it. Of course, skill will make it possible. I will show it to you later but for now we need to eat dinner first.” Yve whispers back.
Walking a bit faster than her usual speed, Yve continues to pull Vince and suddenly stops at a large red tent.
”Here we are!” Yve expresses herself.
”Queen, isn't it a bit early to eat our supper?”
”It's because this place is packed if we will it at the usual time. In case we get hungry while walking around, we can eat some street foods being sold around.” Yve explains with an answer.
”If that's what you say then let's go.” Vince cooperates with her.
