Chapter 77

[Alex’s point of view]

Even at nine o'clock in the evening, this supermarket is still open for business.

I pushed the shopping cart and wandered around the snack and beverage areas.

I didn't tell Lucy that I won’t be competing for the second time, so I don’t have to worry about my figures.

"Hello, excuse me, can you let me pass.?” I heard a salesman's voice, but I had no time to look at him. Because... I realized something while looking at the man wearing a black hat squatting at the floor looking for chocolate.

"Sir? Sir? Would you make way for me?”Said by the salesman

"Ah, oh, sorry." I came to my senses, leaned back, and when I looked at the man wearing the hat again I recognized him. "Charlie?” I said, then he ran away. I tried to chase him but there were a lot of people at the supermarket and I lost sight of him.

“Wh-Why are you …...avoiding me so much?” I muttered to myself.
