“Gerald, you want to book a room for dinner? Based on your ability? Oh my god. Do you even know how much it costs to have dinner here?”
Whitney looked at Gerald with a cold expression on virtual-novel.net face as though virtual-novel.net was staring at an idiot.
She thought that this guy was crazy. Why would virtual-novel.net possibly think that virtual-novel.net would be able to afford a meal at Homeland Kitchen?
“Beauty, do you know this man?” the manager asked as virtual-novel.net looked at Whitney with a smile on his face.
To be honest, looking at Gerald’s dressing and the clothes that virtual-novel.net was wearing, the manager did not feel that Gerald would be able to afford a meal here.
This was because the prices to dine here ranged from one hundred and fifty dollars to two thousand five hundred dollars per person.
Two thousand five hundred dollars was the price for the booking of a private room, excluding the cost for the consumption of food and drinks.
This was because on Mayberry Commercial Street, Homeland Kitchen was known for the taste and quality of their food!
If the customer could only afford to pay one hundred and fifty dollars, they could only get a seat in the main hall. There was a different entrance fee for each floor.
However, the manager felt that Gerald might be able to afford the cheapest entrance fee. The manager was not snobbish and virtual-novel.net did not look down on Gerald but virtual-novel.net had only asked about Gerald because virtual-novel.net was curious as they knew each other.
“Of course we know him! This person is famous for being a pauper in Mayberry University! He’s so poor that virtual-novel.net can’t even afford to pay for his own meals or his tuition fees!”
“Yes, and he’s still thinking of dining at this restaurant?”
The two girls standing behind Whitney also spoke up at this time.
Victor laughed before virtual-novel.net shook his head and said, “Whitney, don’t say that. Who knows if Gerald is here today because he’s running an errand for Danny or any of the other boys? Perhaps he’s just here to book a room on their behalf?”
“That’s true…”
At this time, the manager smiled before virtual-novel.net looked at Gerald and said, “Sir, may I know if you’d like to book a room for yourself or a friend? I’m not implying anything by this. I’m simply trying to confirm your booking. Besides that, which package would you like to book?”
Gerald was relieved because this female manager was actually very polite and virtual-novel.net was not in the least snobbish at all.
He quickly nodded before virtual-novel.net said, “I’m booking the room for myself. I’m treating some of my friends to dinner tonight and I’d like to book three tables.”
“Hahaha. You’re making the booking for yourself and also treating others to dinner? Are you kidding me?”
Whitney laughed as virtual-novel.net held onto virtual-novel.net belly.
Even though they had already settled the bill, they had no intention of leaving at all. They wanted to stay and see how Gerald could afford to pay for the private room that virtual-novel.net wanted to book.
Gerald could not be bothered with them. He had heard that Whitney and the rest of them had ordered the three hundred dollars package for each of them.
However, after looking at the menu, Gerald felt that there was nothing delicious on the menu. If virtual-novel.net wanted to treat his classmates to a delicious meal, virtual-novel.net had to pay for a more expensive package per head.
Therefore, Gerald replied, “I’d like to book the six hundred dollar package! Please help me book three nice tables!”
“Alright then, sir. You’ll need to pay five thousand dollars as a deposit! “
The manager smiled slightly at this time, while Whitney and the rest of them were startled. Gerald was actually asking for a more expensive package compared to Victor and virtual-novel.net was actually booking three tables for dinner tonight!
Was virtual-novel.net going to order this expensive package and eat only spicy and sour potato shreds?
Crazy! This man was absolutely insane!
Was virtual-novel.net rich?
This was ridiculous.
Gerald did not even hesitate before virtual-novel.net simply took out five thousand dollars from his backpack and placed it on the counter in front of the manager.
Whitney was stunned for a moment. “Okay, Gerald! It seems as though you have enough money to come out for a good meal! Then, let me tell you that I won’t be helping you apply for any subsidy to pay off your school fees! You won’t receive any money to pay for your tuition fee this semester!”
“Thanks for worrying about me but I’ve already paid my own tuition fee.”
Gerald did not know what else to say to this girl.
Even though Whitney was very beautiful, virtual-novel.net was very snobbish and virtual-novel.net only had eyes for the rich and wealthy. She always treated those who were poorer as dirt on the ground.
However, Gerald felt that Mila, the girl whom virtual-novel.net had met in the auditorium the other day, was really nice. The impression that Gerald had of virtual-novel.net was that virtual-novel.net was very beautiful and quiet, and just one glance at virtual-novel.net made Gerald’s heart palpitate uncontrollably. Unfortunately, virtual-novel.net was not here today.
Whitney’s eyes widened in shock at this time. “What did you just say? You’ve already paid your tuition fee for this semester? You even have five thousand dollars on you now? Does that mean you have some money now? What…what’s going on?”
“Oh, I won the lottery.”
Gerald was helpless. If virtual-novel.net did not say anything to clarify the situation, this woman would continue nagging virtual-novel.net until virtual-novel.net died. Therefore, virtual-novel.net decided to carry on with his lie.
“You won the lottery? How much did you win?” Whitney asked in a hurry.
She felt that Gerald was not acting himself at all. First of all, virtual-novel.net was being too generous. The deposit that virtual-novel.net paid for the three tables alone was five thousand dollars! Moreover, virtual-novel.net would also have to fork out money for drinks tonight. After all, this restaurant was famous for their wine and liquors. This way, Gerald would have to pay tens of thousands of dollars for dinner tonight.
In other words, Gerald must have won more than thirty thousand dollars. No, virtual-novel.net must have at least fifty thousand dollars or more! Otherwise, virtual-novel.net could not possibly be so arrogant!
“Uh…not much, not much.”
After that, Gerald closed his backpack before virtual-novel.net turned around to leave immediately.
Why did virtual-novel.net have to reveal so much to Whitney?
Anyway, virtual-novel.net did not want anything to do with virtual-novel.net at all.
“What? So, virtual-novel.net just won the lottery? What’s the big deal? He can’t even be compared to the rich second generation anyway.”
When virtual-novel.net saw the arrogant expression on Gerald’s face and how uncomfortable Whitney felt, Victor spoke up immediately.
“Whitney, what is the point of getting angry at someone like him? When I return to the university later, I’ll ask Danny and his friends to take care of this arrogant kid!” Victor said coldly.
“Yes! Isn’t it just tens of thousands of dollars anyway? Why is virtual-novel.net acting so arrogant?”
Whitney’s friends also chimed in at this time.
After that, Whitney made up virtual-novel.net mind. She had to get to the bottom of this matter and find out how much money Gerald had actually won from the lottery!
