Chapter 319
Comelia was all set with her condiments and was about to but the fresh food section when the noticed Marcusâ shopping cart was as empty as a ghost town President Hartley donât you need to buy anything?â Marcus, who was more interested in chitâchatting with Comelia than shopping said, âI donât really need anything in particular in generally here to learn from you so that I can make supermarket trips easier for my wole Can you teach me how to use these ingredients
âSure thingâ Cornelia was more than happy to help Mamus âLetâs hit the fresh food section first, then we can grab some inore goodiesâ
âSounds goodâ Marcus pushed his shopping cart and followed Comelia closely
In the hesh food section, Cornelia picked up a nice looking piece of beef and said to Marcus, âWe can use this beef to make a delicious steak when we get twic
Marcus was all praises âYouâre a jack of all trades very impressive!â
Cornelia chuckled âWe common folks have to learn these skills. Not veryone has the luxury of being catered for from childhood like youâ
Marcus replied. âBeing served from a young age isnât always a good thingâ
Comelia could relate Everyone had their own set of worries Some worried about making ends meet, others worned about mateñal things, and people like Marcus, probably worried about making more dough
When the staff handed the beef to Comelia she was shocked by the price. âAre you sure this is the price? Could there be a mistake?â
Even though the wasnt footing the bill, Comelia felt her heart ache
The staff checked the label and politely explained, âMaâam, our prices are the usual pricesâ
She returned the beef to the freezer and told Marcus. âEverything in this supermarket is so pricey. Are there any other supermarkets around?â
Marcus replied, âThe folks around here are pretty loaded. They care more about quality than price Bargain supermarkets canât survive in this areaâ
Cornelia said âYou rich people really donât care about moneyâ
Marcus chuckled, âTodayâs on me Pick whatever you like, no need to cut corners for meâ
She quietly put the beef back into the cart Without it, they wouldnât be able to fry a steak
Comelia initially wanted to check out the snack section, but considering the prices, she decided against it âPresident Hartley, if you donât need anything, letâs pay and leave
Marcus wanted to spend more time with her. âWe havenât bought much. Donât you want to browse around a little more?â
Comelia shook her head âNo needâ
