The two women were complaining about the fact that Chuck didn’t join them.
"Who the hell does he think he is? Did he think we are some fools?"
"Exactly. He purposely didn't come because he was afraid that we would expose his lies yesterday! How can he say that he doesn’t need to pay in hotels like that, but went missing after that? How hilarious?"
Without saying a word, Manny sighed and drove back to the city with Zelda.
When they arrived in the city, Zelda found a dine for breakfast.
They ordered the daily specials and had a wonderful breakfast.
"This is a real breakfast. These dishes are so exquisite! There are even custard buns. Look at them, so delicious."
"Exactly, this is delicious. I suspect the free breakfast in our hotel would’ve been some basic buns and baked beans. It can’t compare with what we’re having here for sure."
"Absolutely, what did you expect from a free breakfast? It's so much more enjoyable to be spending money on the food we actually enjoy, with so many varieties. Oh, I also want another custard bun. It's so delicious."
The two women kept on complimenting the food. They spent almost an hour just for breakfast. They left the restaurant after Zelda paid.
"Zelda, take us to the largest shopping plaza here. We want to look around and maybe do some shopping. Do you know how bored I was last night? There was nowhere else to go at night where we stayed. How disappointing!" The woman with hot pants said.
"Well, let’s hop in the car then." Zelda thought for a moment and said.
"Oh wait, I saw a plaza on the map on my phone. It's very close to us, and it takes only ten minutes to walk there. Why don't we go to this place first and have a look around? We're quite full now so let’s walk around." The woman in tight jeans seemed to be in a good mood, so she looked it up on her phone and suggested so.
"Let me see."
The woman in hot pants approached and immediately disagreed. "City Square? This name sounds so common. It must be some small and cheap place. I guess there is nothing interesting there. What’s there to shop? We can’t be there for just some cheap cafe or KFC, right? It would be a complete waste of time, why go there?"
She was very dissatisfied and unwilling.
"The name is very common, yes, but it’s super close by. Since we've just eaten, let’s go for a short walk. Look at my tummy, that muffin top is all coming out. Let’s do some exercise."
"Really? Then my muffin top is out too. Well then, I'll take it as a way to help with digestion. But if there are no branded items, we will come back straight away ok? I don't want to waste time in that kind of place."
"Okay."
The two women immediately decided to go to City Square as a form of exercise.
Manny didn't have any objections. She agreed that they should all go for a walk after the meal.
Zelda was stunned. "To City Square?" She took a look at the place, it was quite close indeed. How did she even end up there without realizing it?
"Zelda, why are you still standing there? Hurry up." The woman in hot pants urged her.
Zelda came to her senses and strode over in her long legs. Soon, all of them arrived at the City Square.
The two women looked at each other and were immediately disappointed.
"What? So small? There are only five stories, it’s not even a third of the size of Wonder Plaza. There’s not even an office building. Just look at it. It's so ugly. This plaza is too low class."
"That's right. This is the most useless place I've ever been to. Forget it. Anyway, we're done walking and moving around. Let's go back and drive to the biggest shopping plaza. It's just going to be a waste of time to be staying here."
The two women complained again.
"This plaza is actually quite interesting. Let's go in and take a walk," Zelda said as she looked around.
"What's so interesting about it? Chanel, Versace, and Gucci, none of these branded stores are here. What’s there to shop then? In my opinion, I don't think there is even Estee Lauder in there. Just some random stupid brands in there so there’s literally nothing to shop for." The woman in tight jeans shook her head disdainfully.
"Are you kidding me? You want me to waste my time here? I might as well go home and sleep."
Zelda felt helpless.
"Why don't we go in and take a look?" Manny suddenly said.
"What's wrong with you, Manny? Do you really want to enter this lousy plaza?" The woman with hot pants was puzzled.
The three of them often went shopping, always in big shopping malls. Every time they would spend a couple tens of thousands of dollars. But in a lousy mall like this, even if they spent the whole day shopping and bought all the things they wanted, they probably couldn’t spend enough money.
