Charlie also saw Hannah.
When he laid eyes on Hannah's green vest, he felt that it was somewhat comical. He started wondering what she looked like when she was working at the coal mine back then and if she was given a uniform. He even started to imagine what she would look like in the coal mine uniform. 2
Hannah was feeling very frustrated now, shooting a vengeful glare at Charlie.
Charlie was the one who had brought all these miseries upon her. It was he who had ruined it all when she tried to spring a trap on Elaine. 5
That was not all.
The worst part was that he had donated all her money to charity and then sent her to the coal mine!
When she thought of her wretched moments in the coal mine, she couldn't help cursing, "This d*mned Charlie! He sent me to that hell hole! I gave up so much when I was there, but what I got in return were STDs and a child! If it were not for him, I wouldn't be s 0 miserable today...” 4
The more she thought about it, the more agitated she felt toward Charlie. Thus, seeing him unloading the shopping cart, she said, "This counter is closed! Please move to the next lane."
Instead of being frustrated, Charlie simply smiled and said, "Hannah, don’t you think you’ve gone too far? We have waited in line for such a long time for our turn. S o many people have checked out in your lane and left, but why do you close the counter when it's our turn?"
Hannah huffed in irritation, "Because I need a break, that's why! Do you think you own this supermarket? I'm telling you, I won't check you out today! You can checkout at another counter, but not this one!"
Jacob frowned in dissatisfaction and said with a bit of anger, "Hey, Hannah, watch your mouth! We're the customers here, and the customer is always right! You are the cashier here, so you should provide your best service to us! What’s with your attitude?" 3
