Chapter 10
Margot Evans and Lee Ryder walk along the street to the crowd.
"Finally we arrived in a crowded area but there was no lodging apparently here" Lee Ryder said.
"There's a shop ! How about we just stop by there?" said Margot.
"MMM.., all right.., let's just go there.", said Lee Ryder.
The two walked back towards a shop located on the right of a large street.
However, what the two of them met was a traditional shop selling Gangjeong cakes.
Lee Ryder himself was surprised because he had just seen Gangjeong's store in America.
"This is Gangjeong's shop???" said Lee Ryder.
It is rare that Lee Ryder has never found a store that sells traditional Gangjeong cakes.
This is America not the Korean country where Gangjeong came from.
"But since we didn't find an inn for us to stay at, we just chose this Gangjeong store to spend our time here" Lee Ryder continued.
"We're going there?" asked Margot.
"Yes, we go inside Gangjeong's shop right now" Lee Ryder said.
"Alright, I also felt very tired to keep walking earlier" said Margot.
"Hmmm... Go ! We go into Gangjeong's shop!", take Lee Ryder with us.
Finally they decided to go inside Gangjeong's shop.
The distance of the city is quite far from the highway where their car stopped because it hit the highway barrier so that it suffered fatal damage to the car engine.
There are only a row of shops and gas stations that are each quite far from each other.
It just so happened that they both found Gangjeong's shop in the area where the car stopped.
"Welcome!", said a man in glasses.
When Margot Evans and Lee Ryder walk into Gangjeong's store.
A bell rang loudly as they opened the glass door of Gangjeong's shop.
CLONKS... CLONKS... CLONKS...
The bells sounded pretty loud.
Lee Ryder turned his head towards an ancient bell.
A small Bosingak bell hung above the entrance of Gangjeong's shop.
"What a delicacy Gangjeong's shop is.", murmured Lee Ryder.
A bespectacled man again greeted the two of them as the two approached the long table where the store customers were receiving.
"Does this sell traditional Gangjeong cakes?" asked Lee Ryder.
"Yes, right", said the bespectacled man.
"Can we order Gangjeong for both of us?" said Lee Ryder.
"Please wait a moment at the dinner table, I'm still preparing it" said the bespectacled man.
Lee Ryder turned towards the long table by the shop window.
A few wooden benches lined up neatly in front of that long table.
Both then walked there.
"Finally.", said Lee Ryder.
Lee Ryder sat down while stretching his tired body.
"It's a good thing there's this store otherwise we're forced to keep going" Margot said.
"Walking is great for your health after all you've never exercised so far, big lady" says Lee Ryder.
Lee Ryder tries to tease Margot with her words that always insinuate the young girl.
"Well, you know that if I'm not used to exercising so far!", said Margot.
"It seems like we never stop fighting just because you can't accept my opinion" Lee Ryder said.
"But..., at least we got to know each other for that reason, didn't we!?" replied Margot.
Lee Ryder chuckled with his always authoritative attitude.
The most interesting thing from Lee Ryder for Margot Evans is that the handsome man always wears a suit complete with a tie and neat trousers everywhere.
Each Lee Ryder goes out of the house either on the occasion of official or casual events.
Lee Ryder never forgets to dress neatly and shoes wherever he goes.
"Are you tired?", asked Lee Ryder trying to get attention.
"Of course, I feel tired even my legs feel very painful if used to walk again" said Margot.
"Let me see!" said Lee Ryder.
"A-what !? No ! No need to !!! Later will heal itself.", said Margot shocked.
Margot Evans tries to stay away from the attention Lee Ryder gives her because she doesn't want to get involved far enough with the eccentric man.
"See ! I want to see it!!", said Lee Ryder.
"No ! No need.", said Margot.
Margot Evans distanced herself from the reach of Lee Ryder's hand but the wooden stool she was sitting on was adjacent to the handsome man.
"Here, I see!!!" said Lee Ryder.
"Don't.", reject Margot.
Margot immediately remembered the incident in the room that made her misbehaved and a little awkward when adjacent to Lee Ryder.
"Look, I said!!!" said Lee Ryder.
Lee Ryder grabs Margot's leg and raises it to the top of her thigh.
"Yes pardon.", cried Margot met red.
"It's been... Don't be shy with me ! I belong to your close relatives, not like that, big lady!?", said Lee Ryder.
Lee Ryder takes off the flat shoes that Margot wears.
"Have you never taken care of your toenails to a specialized grooming salon?", asked Lee Ryder.
"MMM.., no.", said Margot.
"Did you never give you a lot of pocket money ? Aren't you a beloved daughter, father?" said Lee Ryder.
"Dad only gave me credit cards but I rarely used them because there was no time to go to the salon" Margot said.
"Hmmm.., next time we go there, yeah!" said Lee Ryder.
"Emmm... Are you going to drive me there yourself?", asked Margot timidly.
"Yes ! I will arrange my work schedule later and take you to the beauty salon" Lee Ryder said.
Lee Ryder answered the question while nodding his head.
Not to forget he checked Margot's abrasive legs as a result of a long walk.
The legs of the beautiful-faced girl with her two beautiful eyes looked swollen reddish.
"Full !? This is quite severe, and can not be left too long injured will arise infection" said Lee Ryder.
Lee Ryder turned to the bespectacled man who was busy preparing the traditional Gangjeong cake he ordered.
He then said to the man in glasses.
"Sir ! Do you have a cure for wounds?", asked Lee Ryder.
"Yes, I have ! Who was hurt?", said the bespectacled man was friendly.
"This girl, her legs were chafed from the friction of the shoes" Lee Ryder said.
The man in glasses laughed and nodded his head.
"May I ask for the cure?" said Lee Ryder.
"Yes, may..., wait I will take it after finishing serving this Gangjeong cake!", said the glasses man was friendly.
"Thank you." replied Lee Ryder.
"Sama-sama.", said the man from Gangjeong's shop.
The bespectacled old man walked over to the long table where Lee Ryder and Margot Evans were sitting.
A large plate of traditional Gangjeong cookies served by the bespectacled man to Lee Ryder and Margot Evans.
A few minutes later...
Lee Ryder has finished treating blisters on both legs of Margot Evans.
Lee Ryder's facial features were very satisfied when he managed to help the young girl treat her injuries.
The smile on Lee Ryder's face was unceasingly embellishing his handsome face at the time.
It was as if he had made it through an important momentum capable of making her smile happily.
Things are rarely seen from Lee Ryder so far because the handsome man always keeps his image remains authoritative even tend to be cold and haughty.
That's why Margot Evans never got close to her.
