"What drink do you want, cute little sister?" Perhaps because Theresa had hesitated for too long, the shop owner asked again.
"Um... do you have Bitter Gourd Juice? I looked several times but couldn't find it."
Theresa put down the menu, held out her little finger, and asked in an adorably pleading manner.
"What? Bitter Gourd Juice?"
Hearing Theresa's words, the burly shop owner froze instantly, wearing an expression full of question marks.
"Yes! Bitter Gourd Juice!"
Theresa repeated herself.
"..."
The owner said nothing more, merely staring at Theresa with an expression that said, Are you kidding me?
Did people actually juice that stuff and drink it?
Then Theresa left the drink shop looking thoroughly dejected. Clearly, she had not managed to buy the Bitter Gourd Juice she wanted.
But Theresa did not give up. If this shop did not have it, surely other places would? So she went to search several more shops nearby.
However... after searching several shops, Theresa was completely disappointed. None of them had what she wanted, so she could only helplessly buy a bottle of mineral water.
"What the heck! What kind of drink shop doesn't even have Bitter Gourd Juice?" Theresa grumbled miserably as she held the mineral water she had just spent twenty-five dollars on and took a huge gulp.
After feeling upset for a while, she checked the time... Theresa stopped dwelling on it and hurried into the airport with her suitcase. The plane would be taking off soon, and she did not have time to waste.
After entering the airport, since all of Theresa's expenses were reimbursed by Schicksal, she had bought one of the newly launched ultra-VIP tickets. The moment she entered the airport... dedicated staff were already waiting for her.
