The Woman From Hell

I left Theo's room after fixing up my clothes. I went over to Shannon's and knocked on the door.

Seeing that it was me after opening the door, Shannon gave me a wicked smile. "Yo, why are you here?"

I let out a few coughs and walked in. "Of course, to prove that I'm not a person who values romantic partners over friends."

"Hey, hey, hey, your lipstick is all gone after just one trip? Seems that President Grant is quite fierce."

Shannon was really not ashamed to say anything, while I was a little embarrassed. I changed the subject, "Okay, let's pack up. Filming starts tomorrow, so we can go out for a walk tonight."

"Yeah, I was checking just now and found that there's an ancient street in Jarlston with some activities going on tonight. We can join in the fun. Would you like to invite your husband?" "Having my friend is enough. Why do you need him?!" I blinked at Shannon and then started unpacking.

The day slowly got dark.

Shannon and I grabbed a ride to the ancient street.

Sure enough, there were a lot of activities. We saw many people coming and going. A lot of them were also wearing traditional costumes, which were quite novel.

Shannon and I went in and tried a lot of snacks, all of which were delicious. We ate till we were full.

"I didn't think there would be a place like this in a big city like Jarlston. I don't think we have anything like this in Whaldorf City."
