Chapter 196 What a Waste!
“Why is this so embarrassing? Let’s come together.” Imogen said.
She removed her sandals, sat on the beach, rinsed her hands, and started stringing up pieces of meat and seafood.
The tour guide prepared bread slices, lettuce, pork belly sausage, etc. The seafood was bought in the nearby town, and most of the grilled fish, shrimp, and scallops.
The pork belly had been sliced into small pieces that needed to be skewered on sticks by their own hands, as did the seafood.
Do–it–yourself food was a memorable thing to do on the beach while enjoying the sea breeze and talking and laughing with unfamiliar travelers preparing a barbecue.
While chatting, the young boy mentioned that his name was Jeremy and his companion was Joshua.
When it was simply too late to skewer all the pork belly meat and seafood, Jeremy suggested, “Ladies, that’s a little slow. Why don’t we skewer and grill at the same time?”
“OK.”
“Then you guys skewer it, and I’ll grill it. You guys can skewer more of whatever you like, and I’ll grill it for you.” Jeremy said, smiling, showing a mouthful of white, straight teeth.
Charlie got it right away. She liked shrimp and had a plate of them skewered in front of her. She offered the whole dish to Jeremy, “Jeremy, I love shrimp, grill more for me.” Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Okay. What do you like to eat?” Jeremy looked at Imogen with a smile.
“I’m not picky about food. I can eat whatever you give me.” Imogen said.
“Then I’ll bake some of each.”
The food was placed on the grill, and it didn’t take long for the sound to be bared, accompanied by a choking smell of smoke.
One by one, as the food cooked, Jeremy took a clean plate, placed it in front of Imogen and Charlie, and said, “Ladies, I’ll put all the finished skewers on this plate, so you can take them if you
want.”
“Thank you. You are so good.”
Jeremy smiled and said, “It’s not a big deal. It’s our honor to be able to work for you two beauties.” Charlie and Imogen looked at each other. They put down the sticks in their hands and ate a bunch of pork bellies first.
The shrimp were slow to cook, and Charlie had already looked that way several times.
Imogen first ate a skewer of grilled sausage and continued to skewer pork belly, eating as she skewered.
Seeing Jeremy grilling, she started to sweat on her forehead and said, “Jeremy, don’t bother with the skewers. Come to eat some. There is no need to be in such a hurry.”
A hint of surprise flashed in Jeremy’s eyes, “Ok, thank you for your concern, I know.”
He worked harder on the skewers..
“Well, let’s just skewer these for now. I think these will be enough for us. Let’s finish grilling these first, and then we’ll skewer more if we don’t have enough.” Charlie wiped her hands and couldn’t
wait to reward herself with a shrimp skewer.
Imogen also stopped and grabbed a skewer of toasted bread slices with a side of pork belly meat sprinkled with seasoning and enjoyed it while admiring the ocean view.
Not far away, the sea was churning, and someone was surfing in the ocean.
After a while, Jeremy, seeing that Imogen and Charlie rarely touched the food on their plates anymore, volunteered to go up and ask, “Ladies, do you want coffee? I’ll go buy coffee in the town over there.”
Imogen glanced at the town not far away and smiled as she refused. “No need. Aren’t there drinks in the car?”
“Then I’ll get you drinks.” Jeremy quickly ran back into the car and came out with a few bottles of drinks, “Here, which one do you want to drink?”
“Thanks, I’m all good.” Imogen took a bottle with her.
“I drink Sprite.” Charlie said, took a bottle of Sprite from Jeremy’s arms, looked at Jeremy with a smile, and said, “Dude, are you very popular in school? You are hardworking.”
Jeremy scratched his head embarrassedly.
After two o’clock, the tour guide began to ask them to pack their things and prepare to leave.
Charlie leaned into Imogen’s ear on the bus and whispered, “You don’t like Erik. How about Jeremy?”
Imogen gave Charlie a blank look. “What have you been thinking about all day?”
“No, I see that this Jeremy has feelings for you too. Imogen, look, you have good luck with men after being divorced!”
Imogen held her forehead, finding it a little amusing. “Whoever it is, I have no plans for that right.
now.”
“Okay.” Charlie sighed. “What a waste!”
“Do you think it’s a pity? Why don’t you do it?”
“I would like to, but he doesn’t like me.”
“What if you made a mistake?”
“Impossible. He seems to treat us equally but stares at you every time he speaks.”
Imogen was speechless.
“By the way, have you contacted Erik now?”
“Not much.”
Erik often approached her to chat, and she replied less. If not for the fact that Erik was also from New York City and there was a chance that she might see him again in the future, maybe she would have just deleted Erik.
“Look, there is a helicopter in the sky!” A tourist suddenly pointed to the sky and exclaimed. So, all the tourists looked out the window, and sure enough, they saw a helicopter not far or close. The tour guide retracted his gaze and said, “You don’t have to be envious. When you get to the Princess Town to Peterborough section, you can also visit The Twelve Apostles by helicopter.” The Twelve Apostles was the most iconic sight on Great Ocean Road, in the State of Victoria, the attraction offered helicopter tours, which were also a feature of Great Ocean Road.
and
Before sunset, they reached Apollo Bay.
They were going to camp here tonight.
The guide gave them tents and taught them how to set them up.
Charlie and Imogen shared a tent. Jeremy offered to help, but Imogen refused, “It’s okay. Get yourself done. We can do it ourselves.”
Jeremy stood there and smiled awkwardly. He could sense Imogen’s alienation.
After setting up the tent, the tour guide allows them to move freely.
Imogen and Charlie went for a stroll in the side woods to see the Cape Otway Lightstation.
On the top of a hill by the azure sea, in a verdant meadow, the white lighthouse stands tall, and the path leading to it is flanked by white railings, neat and clean as if leading to heaven.
Imogen and Charlie climbed to the top of the tower to take in the sweeping views of the ocean and Victoria Harbour.
They linger for a moment to greet the beautiful sunset.
The fiery red sun went down, reflecting the sea in golden splendor, and the seagulls flying in the sky were gilded with a golden light.
These scenes let people run out of words. It wasn’t easy to describe the beauty of nature with words, and only the camera could record the beauty of this moment.
Imogen was taking pictures when he suddenly heard a click.
She turned her head to see Jeremy hiding his cell phone. She took several steps toward him, and he showed the pictures on his phone, and he said, “You are so pretty from all angles.”
Imogen glanced at the photo. “Delete it.”
Jeremy was stunned and said, “Why don’t we contact on Facebook, and I’ll send you the photo?”
“No, thanks.”
She didn’t want to spend time and energy dealing with others now.
Jeremy glanced at Imogen’s back, with a hint of irritability in his eyes.
If he could not get Imogen’s Facebook information, having a future after the tour would be difficult.
Unless, within these two days, he would take down Imogen.
Then only extreme measures can be taken.
For tomorrow’s trip, they would either be on a bus or touring with a group that didn’t stand a
chance.
Then only tonight.
Tonight the guide would organize a bonfire at the beach. He saw a case of beer in the front corner of the bus.
Sex after drunk was one thing no one could explain.
Troy cheated on Imogen, Imogen probably hadn’t had sex in a long time, and all he had to do was behave as long as Imogen was satisfied…
