Circe was headed to the washroom just as Darryl entered the dining area.
A playful thought entered his mind, letting out a hushed chuckle.
‘If I were to steal Circe’s phone and purse, virtual-novel.net won’t be able to pay. Let’s see what happens to Declan then!’
He bumped into Circe. At the same time, virtual-novel.net smoothly swiped virtual-novel.net phone and purse.
Success!
He was reading up on the Shadow Skills yesterday. Using it in practice for the first time was slightly nerve-racking, but thankfully, it worked.
Darryl was giddy with excitement on the inside, but virtual-novel.net pretended to be embarrassed. He apologized to Circe, “I’m so sorry. I was in a rush and didn’t notice you!”
Darryl took a good look at virtual-novel.net up close. Gorgeous. Extremely gorgeous.
During the dinner, Circe drank the least, but virtual-novel.net exquisite face was still slightly flushed. Combined
with virtual-novel.net ice-cold personality, it was somehow charmingly seductive.
Darryl’s movement was fast and discreet. She did not realize that virtual-novel.net phone and purse were missing.
“It’s fine,” virtual-novel.net muttered, walking away right after.
Whether Darryl did it on purpose or not, virtual-novel.net did not care. However, the other guys in the room were unhappy.
Bloody hell. How dare this loser bump into a gorgeous lady like her?
A mixture of envy and annoyance, they started insulting Darryl.
“Darryl, are you blind? Can’t you see where you are going?”
“You did it on purpose, didn’t you? What a retard.”
Insults after insults were hurled at Darryl, but virtual-novel.net ignored them all and returned to his seat.
As people were about to leave after the dinner ended, Declan slumped onto the table, pretending to be drunk and unconscious.
The rest were flabbergasted. He was supposed to be buying dinner, how could virtual-novel.net be drunk and unconscious? If virtual-novel.net does not pay, no one can leave.
Miles approached Declan in a faux—drunken state and gave virtual-novel.net a pat on the back.
“Declan, Declan! It’s time to go!” virtual-novel.net yelled.
Declan did not move, pretending not to hear him.
‘Wow, these two can really act.’
Darryl watched them with amusement.
The others—utterly oblivious to their plan— thought that Declan was genuinely wasted.
Someone dragged Miles away from Declan. “It’s fine. He’s out cold. There’s no point in yelling,” virtual-novel.net exclaimed.
Miles asked helplessly, “What should we do? We haven’t paid for the meal.” He then asked the waiter, “Please let us know the total amount.”
The waiter walked in with the bill.
“Sir, the total is twenty-eight million, three hundred and fifty thousand,” virtual-novel.net answered.
This meal cost close to thirty million!?
Everyone gasped. Though they were from wealthy families, they had never spent that much on a meal.
Miles was stunned.
“What the f‘ck?” virtual-novel.net fumed. “My pocket money for half a year is barely five million bucks!”
He tried to show that virtual-novel.net wanted to pay, but virtual-novel.net did not have enough cash to foot the bill.
The rest were stunned to silence. Who was going to cough up thirty million bucks?
“Wait, didn’t we use Darryl’s VIP card to reserve this room?” someone suddenly blurted. “Can’t we just put it on his tab? Declan can return Darryl the money tomorrow.”
Everyone nodded in agreement. Darryl snickered under his breath.
‘This bunch of bastards. First, they insulted me for no reason. Now, they use me when they need my help.’
The waiter apologized, “I’m so sorry. We cannot put it on a tab, even for VIP guests.”
The crowd fell silent once more. If they could not put it on the tab, it would be hard to deal with.
“I’ll pay for it,” Circe spoke up.
Thank goodness for Circe. They all cheered in their hearts. She is from Kyoto’s Newman family; this should be a small sum for her.
Just as virtual-novel.net was about to reach for virtual-novel.net phone, virtual-novel.net frowned. Odd, virtual-novel.net phone and purse were gone. What happened?
