"There's a drain there. Help yourself!" Leia snapped at Xavier grumpily.
Xavier's face fell. Even the stray dogs in the village got better treatment than him. Upset. he jumped out of the pickup and followed Leia.
They both entered the store, and Leia meticulously picked water for Santiago. "Give me two bottles of pure water. I want the best and most expensive kind."
She knew that Santiago needed that much since he watched his diet and drank only plain water from a high-end brand. However, this store had a limited selection, so they only sold ordinary mineral water.
Leia became anxious. She took out a ten-dollar bill and urged the cashier, "Help me get some high-end pure water next time you restock. My idol loves to drink that."
Xavier leaned against the cabinet and crossed his arms, raising an eyebrow at her mockingly. "It's just water, doesn't it all taste the same?"
"You don't know anything!" Leia rolled her eyes at him. "There are different kinds of water. Some are pure like mountain springs and sweet, and some are full of impurities and unhealthy to drink!"
Though she was talking about water, it sounded like she was criticizing someone.
"So, you're holding a grudge against me?" Xavier immediately looked pleased, and he smiled. "So, you're using your idol to infuriate me by comparing him to Shirley?"
"Ugh, you're overthinking. Don't compare Shirley to Mr. Dalton, it's a great insult. If you're so free, go online and look up who Santiago is and what kind of past he has..." Leia continued disdainfully, "His family isn't bad. He joined the entertainment circle because he loves performing. He isn't anything like your first love who does all kinds of things to gain more power. They're not the same. Oh, I'm tired of talking to you!"
After that, she threw a bottle of water at him and went straight to Santiago.
