"What is it?" Anna's expression became serious, wondering what kind of information he had received.

"Oh my. You have great eyes. We picked this not long ago, so they're still fresh." The woman chuckled, flattered. She also noticed Anna who was next to him.

"Yes. We're just sightseeing around here." Noel chuckled while raising one finger to tell her he wanted one bag.
