She struggled away from his grasp, “Alright. Didn’t I promise not to trick you? I haven’t made up my mind… You’ve been asleep for so long. Isn’t your germaphobia acting up? Mary has prepared some porridge for you. I’m exhausted from looking after you over the past two days. I need to sleep.”
Before she could finish speaking, Mark began feeling uncomfortable. He got up and ran into the bathroom. Arianne heaved a sigh of relief, closed her eyes, and allowed her thoughts to gradually enter a state of peace. She soon fell asleep.
The next day, Mark went to the office as soon as he woke up. She went straight to Tanya and Naya’s hotel. Naya and Tanya were still around, so she couldn’t just ignore them. She was the one who brought them over, and they were not familiar with anyone in the capital.
Naya was a domesticated woman. She did not plan on having too much fun in the capital, because she could not afford to spend too much money. She simply wanted to take Lulu around for some sightseeing. The weather was just right, so going anywhere was convenient. Tanya had intended on taking her grandfather for some sightseeing, but her plans were delayed due to the old man’s wounds. Only now could they begin their fun.
Tanya remembered Eric’s offer to be her tour guide whenever she came to the capital. She took his offer to heart, decided on sightseeing, and sent Eric a message: ‘Do you have some free time? Do you know anywhere in the capital that serves authentic food? I’d like to let my grandfather try them out and walk around a little. Tiffany has just had her engagement party, so she’s probably busy. Ari’s husband is sick, so I don’t want to disturb her. Is this a convenient time for you?’
Eric was surprised upon receiving the message, because he wasn’t really serious about the agreement. He was just making casual conversation. He did not expect for Tanya to come looking for him.
He couldn’t refuse her, now that she had contacted him. When it came to food, the best food that came to mind was the food at White Water Bay Café, Jackson’s restaurant. Hence, he replied: ‘Sure, give me two hours. I’ll finish up some work and pick you up. Wait for me in the hotel. I’ll call you.’
After confirming their journey, Tanya told Naya and Arianne, “I’ll be touring around with my grandfather. No need to make arrangements for me.”
Arianne was surprised, “You’re not familiar with the area. Where are you going? Why not come with us?”
“I have a ‘private tour guide’...” Tanya answered mysteriously.
Arianne didn’t ask any further questions. As long as Tanya was with her grandfather, it was good enough.
Tanya received a call from Eric at around eleven, where she took her grandfather and left the hotel. Tanya greeted Eric when she saw him and sat with her grandfather in the backseat of his car. Eric found this very strange. It was as if… he were a taxi driver…
