Being 601
“A lobster? Three pounds?”
Debra walked closer, spotting other massive sea creatures. “A ten–pound king crab and turbot?”
Juan chimed in, “Crayfish and snow crabs too.”
Debra was dumbfounded. Even though this place was rich in sea creatures, it couldn’t possibly offer this much bounty from other areas or countries.
She glanced over at the cameraman for an answer. If it was the production team who arranged this, they were treating the audience like fools.
The cameraman quickly shook his head. They didn’t have that kind of budget. Even the director was on tight means. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Then again, since the seafood had already been caught, they couldn’t just toss it back into the ocean.
Only a fool would pass up free stuff. They might as well take it.
Juan started surveying the surroundings. Soon, his eyes locked on a fishing boat.
He wrinkled his brow and said to the fisherman, “Take us back.”
It was a fruitful trip for Debra and Juan, but the production team was left in deep thought as they watched the bag full of luxury catches. There shouldn’t be this much seafood here.
Pointing at the bag. Juan asked, “Is this enough? If not, I’m sure we can get more.”
After all, this was all courtesy of Marion. If needed, they could always make him cough up a bit more. “No ne
need. This is plenty,” said the director, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
Originally, the fisherman had been instructed to tamper with the fishing nets laid by Debra and Juan to ensure few fish or shrimp would be caught. But apparently, the fish and shrimp in this part of the island had no sense. All the plumpest and finest ones had swum right into the nets.
Thus, Debra and Juan completed their first task perfectly.
After they returned to the shore, Marion asked, “What’s their next task?”
Randy replied, “They need to go to the market and buy Ingredients for the day ahead. Then they will cook.”
“Which market?”
A feeling of dread crept into Randy’s heart, but before he could react, Marjon added, “Doesn’t matter which market. Rent it out and give her the best ingredients.”
Randy muttered under his breath, “That’s just pampering her in disguise.”
“What?”
“Uh, nothing. I didn’t say anything.
He wasn’t about to foolishly oppose Marion. Renting out a market for a day was easy for him.
Charter 601
Just as Randy was preparing to leave, a car pulled up in front of them. Marion frowned as the door opened, revealing Andrew dressed in a floral shirt and wearing dark sunglasses. A faint smile played on his lips as he greeted, “Guys, it’s been a while.”
Randy mumbled, “We just met yesterday.”
Marion asked, “Are you here for vacation?”
“Why, isn’t it obvious?” Andrew removed his sunglasses and smiled. “Care to join me for tea?”
Marion was about to refuse when Andrew added, “I have live updates on Debra and Juan.”
