"Wait, were they not paying attention to Annie? Especially Demi. How could she only calculate the items she wanted to buy?"
"What's wrong with that? It was decided that Demi and Wendy would be the main cooks. They would, of course, get to decide what ingredients to buy. Can Ana cook with the ingredients she got? Did you forget how Thomas got sick?"
"Regardless, they should at least ask Annie. That's so disrespectful!"
"If she knew how to cook, they would certainly get her opinion! The problem is, she can't cook!"
"Who said she can't cook? Annie might not be the best cook, but I'm sure she knows how to make a few dishes!"
The netizens were battling each other in the comment section, each defending their own logic.
"Alright then, we can go check out now." In the grocery store, Demi said to the group as she removed one last ingredient from the cart. With that, the group got in line to pay.
Everyone was quiet. They were all quite upset about the earlier incident.
Ana gritted her teeth. She promised herself that she would prove her worth in the kitchen to the team tonight!
As it was peak hour, many people were in the grocery store. There was a long queue in front of them. It was good that the grocery store's management had stopped people from entering. Had they not done that, the line would have been longer.
George was losing his patience. They were already in line, ready to pay. When Ana came along with her shopping basket, they had to queue again. They wasted 20 minutes just reorganizing their items! When would they actually get to make dinner?
"You can go ahead." Two girls in front of them made way for them with starstruck eyes. When the people in line heard them, they also made way for them.
"George, you can go before us."
"Chad, you can go ahead."
Wendy smiled as she waved them off. "It's fine. Thank you all."
They didn't want to be treated special because of their fame.
When they returned to the mansion, Nigel and the rest had already cleaned and prepared the seafood for cooking. As they carried in the groceries, the rest of the team instinctively began to clean and prepare the groceries for cooking.
Demi also got ready to help them, but Wendy stopped her.
Wendy said, "Demi, go get some rest. We'll need you to cook later."
Demi shook her with a smile and replied, "It's alright, I'm not tired."
