Chapter 107

Before going inside the grocery, Guy feels his pocket to see if he has his buy list. Unlike others who go through every aisle to see items that they will pick, Guy, to save time, always brings with him a list of things he will buy. Today is a happy day for him because last night, when they were having a video call, Mochi told him that he will come to his apartment the next morning, wanting to avail of Guy’s offer of free basic cooking lessons.

“Prawns done,” said Guy, running his eyes on his list to check. "Garlic done. Hmmm…I already have cooking oil at the flat. The last would be prawn sauce," he continued. He gets a sweet and spicy variant of the sauce, and then queues in line to pay. While lined up, Guy picks up a call.

“Sawadee Mochi.”

“Sawadee krap, Guy. I’m on my way.”

“Where are you now?”

“Just about to leave the house. You?”

“Queued up in the supermarket. Drive carefully.”

“Got it.”

“When you get to the apartment, call me.”
