as they walked along each other , she looked around her surroundings for a moment before looking back at him .
❝ It is actually , they're gems . ❞
‘‘ you can just do that? whew, you must be important. ’’
without wasting a beat, roman quickly follows the girl, staying side by side with her.
‘‘ what exactly is this kinda currency? is it similar to this piece of paper? heck, is it even something you can hold? ’’
she took the bill into her hand , examining it while doing so .
❝ hmm .. this seems as though it would be the exact as rupees . ❞
giving him another smile , she motioned him to follow her .
❝ I'll work something out for you at my home . ❞
Must have been different circumstances.
( roman pours himself his own glass, taking a whiff of the scent of the white wine and smiling. )

‘‘ what in the - ’’

a bill fold is removed.
‘‘ uh. . . roopi? ’’ he hands it to her.
