Chapter 772 Split The Bill
Skr couldn''t help but think that only a generous fool like Tobias would frequent a restaurant like
this, as money was merely a number to him.
She, on the other hand, was the total opposite of Tobias. Unlike him, she would never choose to
pay a lump sum upfront when installment options were avable. She preferred to pay bit by bit,
even if it meant incurring some interest along the way.
She had the impression that the restaurant would not attract many customers due to its high prices.
However, she soon realized how naive she was when lunchtime arrived.
There were many wealthy people around, but she was not one of them.
Skr had thought that she could be considered as a bourgeoisie if she had not lost that much
money. However, she would still be far from achieving true wealth.
Throughout her career, Skr''s sry had never been particrly high. Herpany would deduct
a significant portion of her earnings asmission. Despite her poprity, she also needed good
resources to sustain her sess, and investors would always try to negotiate for lower fees.
In reality, Skr''s sry was quite meager. Even her endorsement with Gi was limited to just
one season.
The market demand was heavily influenced by the audience''s preferences, and unfortunately, due
to the disappointing box office performance of her film, “The Bad of 1978,” Skr''s endorsement
for the following season was canceled by the brand.
Rumor had it that Gi was nning to select a new spokesperson from Royal Entertainment for
the next season, and they were considering Saorise.
Macka noticed that Skr, with a mask on, was hesitating outside the restaurant. Noticing
Skr''s indecision, Macka asked, “Skr, don''t you love Jetroinian cuisine?”
Skr often found it difficult to reject others because she didn''t want to spoil the mood ore
across as a party pooper.
Thus, she linked her arm with Macka''s and walked into the Jetroinian restaurant together.
It happened to be lunchtime, and the restaurant was bustling with customers. Both men and women
who patronized the ce were very well-dressed, and each of them exuded a regal aura.
Macka said under her breath, “It''s a trending venue. Many online influencers will check in here.
The female ones will also take a crazy load of pictures, eat, and let the guys watching their live
stream channel pay for their meals.”
“Don''t the women feel bad for making their partners pay so much for their food?”
Macka thought Skr was dense to have asked such a question. “Why would they? They gave
the guys a feast for their eyes by being eye candies. These girls are so clever in coaxing men and
bewitching them.”
While Macka went to reserve a table, Skr''s gaze fell on a girl standing on her right. The girl
was very slim, and her skin was as white as snow. She wore a revealing little ck dress though it
was a cold day.
The man standing across from the girl had a nearly bald head, ck-rimmed sses, and arge
belly that resembled that of a heavily pregnant woman. Given his appearance, it was clear that he
wouldn''t stand a chance of finding a wife if he didn''t have money, even in a vige.
“Her name is Yvette Hord. She''s got over a thousand followers on TikTok, but she''s a in Jane in
real life without the camera filter!” Macka whispered to Skr in a serious manner.
Skr did not know much about online influencers as she seldom spent time browsing through
TikTok. Although she had more than ten million followers on her ount, it had been ages since
shest uploaded a video.
Some of her fans even wondered if she had forgotten her login credentials.
Even though Kate had been reminding her to update her TikTok, she often forgot to do it.

Macka held the menu, which was intricately carved onto wood like a scroll, and pondered aloud,
“Hmm... What should I order? What about you, Skr? The sashimi here is exceptional. In fact, I
believe it''s the best I''ve ever had. The pieces are so fresh and lustrous.”
Skr, having little knowledge about sashimi, let alone its texture and appearance, was unfamiliar
with such delicacies. The seafood she was most ustomed to was the processed crab sticks
stewed in a spicy broth.
Miranda often remarked that Skr should surround herself with finer things since her living
standards had improved.
However, Skr saw her mother as a hypocrite, someone who spoke without a true understanding
of the situation. Living a life of luxury requires money. Where would I get such funds?
Macka ordered arge amount of food, leaving Skr feeling too shy to suggest splitting the bill.
She didn''t want to appear frugal or stingy in front of her friend, so she steeled herself and offered to
pay the bill.
However, Macka dered generously, “No worries. This is on me!”
