There was not a single grain of rice or a hint of green in a kitchen that was rather huge.
"You were here for quite some days now. What were Secretary Ji and Ronan eating?" Ella was bewildered as she turned to Adrian, "What did they feed us today?"
Adrian paused, "Takeouts."
Ella was speechless. Fair enough.
"Baby, is there a supermarket nearby?"
Adrian paused for another moment before he shook his head.
"None?"
"I don’t know."
"_"
For some reason, Ella felt like Adrian’s survival skills were rather... delicate.
Regardless, she checked for any supermarkets around the area and lucky for them, there were quite a few.
Since he was unwell, Ella told Adrian to wait at home while she can go get the groceries as the supermarket was at a walking distance.
But the moment she stepped out, Adrian followed her, dressed in a stunning suit and standing on his gorgeously tall legs.
"Wait... You... You are fine?" Ella looked at him, "You can walk?"
"I injured my hands," Adrian said nonchalantly.
Ella squinted, "Then earlier, why did you let me support you all the way here?"
"Because you wanted to."
"_" Ella had the feeling of being scammed for some reason. Yet, given Adrian’s current condition, she could not bring herself to hold a grudge against him.
...
At the supermarket.
"Oh my god, who is that man?"
"So charishmatic..."
"Look, he is even dressed in a suit."
"It must be a reclusive celebrity out for grocery shopping on a random weekend..."
"I would know him if he was a celebrity."
"You don’t believe me? Can’t you see his short assistant walking ahead, holding that cart?"
Ella nearly stumbled off when the last few words fell in her ears.
Short? Assistant?
She turned to Adrian who was almost a foot taller than her, dressed in an expensive black suit, "Baby, who wears suits to a supermarket?"
Adrian gave her an obvious look of ’I do’.
Following that, the man moved to grab the cart from her hand.
Ella moved it away, "Your hands are injured. I told you, you just need to follow me today."
Ella paid her entire attention to groceries.
Meanwhile, Adrian followed after her, his gaze fixated on her.
The scene between both the people was rather harmonic, despite the chaos they stirred in the supermarket.
After an hour, Ella finally walked to the checkout counter.
The cashier’s eyes widened when she caught of glimpse of Ella from the corner of her eyes, "Miss, I was just about to call for you..."
Ella pointed at herself, "Me?"
The cashier registered Ella’s short hair and took a proper look at her, "Ah, my bad. It’s not you."


Her inner voice: Well, you caught his attention for no reason as well.
Hearing the cashier stuttering, Ella snapped out of her thoughts.
