The next day.
I had just come downstairs when I saw that Munchkin and Theo were already at the table.
Seeing me coming over, Theo waved at me. "You're awake? Come have breakfast."
I stepped forward, sat down, and took a sip of milk. Then, Theo continued, "I'll ask the driver to drive Munchkin to school in a while, so you can rest at home.”
I knew he said this because of Munchkin's presence. He actually wanted me to stay out of the house to avoid being harassed
Regal Villa was guarded by specialists, so those people who wanted to stir up chaos could not get inside. Hence, staying at
home was the best protection for me.
I was well aware of the situation and had no objection. “Alright.”
After breakfast, Munchkin and Theo left
I sat on the sofa while watching TV and reading magazines. It was incredibly boring. Caroline cooked me lunch around noon, and after eating, I went into the room to take a nap. When I got up, it was already nighttime.
Even if I could not go out, I thought heading to the supermarket would be alright.
Thinking that I wanted to personally cook for dinner, I changed my clothes and said," I'm going to the supermarket to buy some ingredients, Caroline."
“But Mr. Grant said that you shouldn't be going out, Madam." "It’ll be alright. I'm just going to the nearby supermarket, so it's okay. I can always wear a mask."
In the end, Caroline could not stop me and had to let me go out.
The supermarket was just a few steps away from the villa, and I arrived quickly.
After the purchase, I went to the cashier to settle the bill, but an awkward event unfolded. I had forgotten to bring my mobile phone and had no cash on me, which stumped me for a while.
Looking at the cashier embarrassedly, I said, "Um... I'm sorry. I came out in a hurry and forgot to bring my phone. I think I’ll have to leave these here." "Wait, Miss. Nowadays, you can pay using facial recognition. Why not try it out?"
'Is that so? Okay, sure.
