THE PAIR ENTERED THE YELLOW CAB'S BACKSEAT, SIGHING IN COMFORT TO FINALLY BE SEATED AFTER WALKING FOR A FEW MINUTES.

"Where to?" The cab driver asked.

Lucy responded, "To the MeatMarket, please." Then, the vehicle roared into life as the driver took them to their destination.

Rami's eyebrows knitted in confusion, "May I ask why we are going to the meat market? Did you ran out of meat to cook in your flat, hence the destination?" Lucy cackled at the New Yorker's confusion, which only made him more confused than before.

She lightly slapped his arm in joy, "Oh God, we're not going to a public market, Rami! That's the name of the diner that we'd be eating at!" Realization dawned upon Rami's face.

"Oh, so that's just it? That was a very misleading one, you know. I, for a moment, actually thought that we'd be buying some meats.." Lucy snickered once more at his innocence.

"It's called MeatMarket because the food they serve is all meat, I think." Lucy answered, causing Rami to grimace at her explanation. "They could have named it anything but that. You don't see other fast food chains naming their brands after a market, do you?" Lucy rolled her eyes at the lad's statement, "It's beyond our control, Rami, okay? People don't pay attention to the restaruant names, they pay attention to the food that they serve."

Rami nodded, not wanting to prolong the conversation about how they should have named their establishment.

A few moments after, the two arrived at their destination. Lucy payed the driver the designated amount of euros before heading out, a few luggages of Rami in her hand. She actually insisted in holding it...

"Come on, let's eat. I'm famished!" She stated, grabbing Rami by the wrist as they headed inside.

"She acts as if she's the one who has been in a 6-hour flight." Rami mumbled underneath his breath, audible enough for him to hear. Or so he thought.

Lucy turned to him with laser beam-like eyes, "What did you just said, you wanker?" Rami scrambled for an answer, his response stuttering, "O-oh. I just said that this place is packed!" Lucy gave him a doubtful look before heading on to seat theirselves in a booth.

'That was close,' he thought.

The two entered the diner, and they were filled with the merry chit-chatting voices of the Londoners, the wafting aroma of the burger patties being fried, the smell of chicken wings, Lucy felt euphoric while Rami gaped in awe as to how famous the diner is.
