Revenge: Reborn
Chapter 234 New Acquaintances
Unwilling to trouble Kim, Ivona intends to search for everyday clothes and supplies at China Hong Kong City Mall. Fortunately the apartment he currently occupies is not so far from the mall. Arriving in front of the apartment, Ivona looked at the tall building towering from where she was standing at this time. The Presidential Suites InterContonental Hong Kong stands majestically in front of it. The girl smiled bitterly, remembering the time she was staying at the hotel and was eventually discovered by Alexander.
"You've calmed down in nature there, Alex." said Ivona softly with a wry smile. Unwilling for too long, drowning with that dark feeling, Ivona slowly stepped her feet along the sidewalk. The girl did not care about the heat that was slowly starting to hit her face, but the girl chose to keep walking on the sidewalk to head for the mall.
The cities in Hong Kong are famous for their rapid economic development, so there are many skyscrapers in this city. In addition, it looks busy in this city. The urban hustle and bustle became one of the iconic situations in this city. But Ivona ignored all that, the girl focused on her goal of heading to the mall.
Arriving at the location, Ivona directly entered the lobby mall door. His eyes looked at the patch of inscription in one corner near the lobby, and quickly read the information conveyed on the piece. China Hong Kong City is a commercial complex that includes five office towers, shopping malls, hotels, and a ferry terminal in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong. The complex opened in 1988 on land previously partly occupied by the Royal Naval Dockyard and Sea Terminus.
"It turns out quite a long time also the establishment of this building. I'll just go get some clothes .." muttered Ivona herself. Seeing an outlet selling women's clothes and supplies in the corner of the mall, Ivona immediately directed her step there.
"Excuse me... can I get that dress for me to try on?" politely, Ivona asked the sales promotion girl to pick up the clothes that were hung on a slightly top spot. He intended to try it first before wearing it.
"Oh, of course you can." graciously, the SPG immediately took the clothes Ivona wanted, then handed the clothes to the girl. Ivona immediately rushed to the dressing room to try on the clothes she had brought. After trying it out for a while, and seeing if the clothes she was wearing were very fitting and she liked the color, Ivona immediately asked SPG to prepare for her.
"Miss.., look for the same size, the clothes in the corner!" looking around, Ivona again asked SPG to take the same size as the shirt she had tried, but with the model she saw in the corner of the room. Quickly, SPG immediately took Ivona's clothes. After getting the clothes she wanted, Ivona also added clothes with bags and shoes for her to wear to the lab. In addition, basic make up also comes along she prepared.
Nearly two hours more of the time Ivona spent looking through the clothes, trying and finally deciding to buy. With two paper bags in her hand, Ivona came out of the outlet. Seeing the typical Hong Kong snacks sold in the food court, the girl's eyes turned green. The girl immediately walked towards the escalator, and would look for food in the food court. After seeing Moslem food in one corner of the room, Ivona immediately rushed to him.
**************
A man of Arab descent saw Ivona from a food outlet. Perhaps the man wanted to join Ivona's desk. While all the seats in this place are all filled with customers. But Ivona tries not to care too much about her surroundings, instead pretending not to see the man.
"Uppzz.., really good food." without stopping, Ivona's mouth was engrossed in chewing on the various foods he had ordered.English lighters, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, and so on, the oyster sauce seemed to dominate the seasonings used on Ivona's ordered meals.
The man who asked her to speak earlier, then sat down and began to put his food on the table. Seeing Ivona voraciously enjoying her food nonstop, the man's forehead wrinkled. She unblinkingly looked at Ivona who was engrossed in eating.
"You seem very hungry, since you haven't stopped chewing food since the beginning." presumably because of the cold or jeran, the man commented on Ivona's way of eating. Annoyed by her comments, Ivona stopped her chewing, looking at the man sitting with her at the table.
"Excuse me. do you think my way of eating? If so, please leave this table!" a little irritated by the man's words, Ivona sarcasm asks the man to leave his desk, if the man objected.
"Oh no .., I'm sorry!! If what I said earlier offended you. I'm glad to see you eat voraciously." the man quickly refuted Ivona's words. The man said it was nice to see Ivona eating voraciously. Hearing that answer, Ivona resumed her eating quietly. Similarly to the man, he also immediately ate the food he had brought.
After a while they ate in silence, suddenly..
"Are you from Indonesia? If so, can we speak in Indonesian?" the man asked if Ivona was from Indonesia, and invited the girl to speak Indonesian. Ivona immediately sipped the orange juice she ordered, after wiping her mouth with a tissue...
"Okay, we speak only in Indonesian. I'm from that country." Ivona answered the man's question in Indonesian.
"He.., he.., introduce my name Arham..!! Both my parents were in Yogyakarta, and I lived in the city long enough." the man reached out his hand, and introduced himself. Ivona received the helping hand, though,
"My name is Ivona.., I am very happy to be able to use the language of my country in a country of people" replied Ivona who also introduced herself. The two eventually got into a conversation. It turns out that Arham's arrival to the country is due to represent Indonesia, but he is keeping the secret of representing in what terms. Ivona was also not interested in prying any further information from him.
