Chapter 116


    Running out of patience, Sheldon urged Skr, “Skr, why are you so indecisive? I’m famished!”


    Skr closed the menu and passed it back to Tobias. “Since you’re the one treating, you should order


    instead.”


    Tobias then tossed the menu to Hry.


    Even though Hry told Sheldon that she frequented restaurants like that, she had actually only been to


    the restaurant once. During that one time she dined there with her friends, they were shocked by how


    expensive the meal was when they saw the bill.


    As such, since there was someone else treating, Hry did not intend to stand on ceremony and had her


    mind set on ordering the most expensive items on the menu.


    The wagyu beef alone already cost more than a thousand per te. In addition to the red wine ordered,


    the bill was expected to be at least three hundred thousand.


    To Tobias and Sheldon, that wasn’t a big deal and that fact alone fortified Skr’s belief that she was a


    world apart from them. She felt that her presence was a mismatch with the high-ss restaurant. Unlike


    the heirs and heiresses from wealthy families, Skr had not grown up worry-free in a loving


    environment with people doting on her.


    Before all the dishes were served, Hry already couldn’t wait to take pictures. With a cheeky grin, she


    said, “Let me take some pictures first.”


    She had already thought of the captions which she was going to put on her social media together with


    the photos.


    Skr, who had just picked up her utensils, quickly put them back down so that Hry could take photos.


    There was a hint of impatience in Tobias’ deep-set dark eyes as the other three of them waited.


    After Hry finished taking pictures, she said smilingly, “This is one of my favorite restaurants. Their chef


    is really good and was even featured on a previous issue of Michelin Guide. Ms. Jones, what do you


    usually like to eat?”


    Skr looked at Hry with a confused expression as the woman’s sudden question caught her by


    surprise.


    What should I answer? Tater tots? In addition to tater tots, Skr usually only ate simple food such as


    sandwiches, pastas or takeaways. She couldn’t even bring herself to order extra food in her takeaway.


    “Oh, I eat anything. I’m not that particr with food,” Skr responded vaguely.


    Hry was rather surprised at Skr’s answer and eximed, “Us girls should have more ss when


    choosing the food we consume and can’t be too casual about it. My friends and I dine here quite often.


    Ms. Jones, maybe you and I can hang out together next time too. We can go shopping and eat some


    good food.”


    Skr smiled awkwardly and replied, “Sure, we can find a time to do that.”


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    She couldn’t understand why Hry had to keep emphasizing that she frequented the restaurant. Was


    she trying to show off? Either that or she was just trying very hard to hide something shecked.


    Realizing that Skr had not lifted her utensils, Tobias asked affectionately, “Do you not like the food


    here? We can go elsewhere if you wanna eat something else.”


    Skr took a sip of her red wine and answered, “Maybe it’s because I just recovered that I don’t have


    much of an appetite.”


    If Skr had not brought it up, Tobias had already almost forgotten how much Skr suffered the night


    before.


    The man ced a hand on Skr’s forehead to make sure that she wasn’t running a fever and was d


    that she wasn’t.


    Just then, a clicking sound of the camera was heard and Hry smiled sheepishly. She had forgotten to


    switch her phone to silent mode again.


    The woman had already snapped more than ten photos of that bottle of red wine.


    Tobias and Skr had both barely eaten. Most of the dishes were gobbled up by Sheldon and Hry


    shortly after they were served and there wasn’t even a single drop of red wine left in the bottle.


    A waiter, who was dressed in a kimono, walked towards their table with a point-of-sale terminal and said,


    “Sir, your total bill would be three hundred and twenty thousand.”


    Skr gasped in shock when she heard the amount.


    The day spent with Tobias was indeed eye-opening for her. It seemed like money to him was nothing.


    She immediately regretted not eating much at a meal that cost three hundred over thousand. Why did


    she restrain herself?


    Hry fought to foot the bill, knowing very well that Tobias would never let her pay.


    “Let me get it! Mr. Ford, let this be my treat.” Hry pretended to reach for her credit card.


    Sheldon stayed out of the situation, waiting for the woman to admit defeat.


    He could already tell that Tobias was getting impatient and it was obvious that his brother did not


    approve of this new girlfriend of his.
