Chapter 159

Beg me? Was he just asking me to go back? But why did he have to do this again? How much does he want to give up on himself to have someone he despises return to his side?

Back at the dining table, Trevin looked at me with confusion and asked, “Esmeralda, why did you take so long in the restroom? Is everything okay?” I shook my head and saw Reynaldo walking towards me. My heart tightened, hoping he wouldn’t continue to bother me. Just as I thought of this, I saw him walk over to a nearby elegant seat. And Kimberly was there too. When I looked back, Kimberly was looking at me. She waved with a calm expression, and I smiled back.

But now Reynaldo and Kimberly were sitting nearby, and we could hear each other’s voices, so I didn’t want to eat there. I looked at Trevin and said, “How about we eat somewhere else?” Trevin’s eyes widened, and he exclaimed excitedly, “How can that be possible? I had already chosen what I wanted to eat. Did you order the food?”

“It’s not… it’s not even time yet, but I have already made my selection. And Esmeralda, you were the one who said you would treat me to a meal. You can’t just go back on your word because the food here is expensive. This is my first time dining at such a high-end place; you can’t let me come in and then go out, right? This is just playing with people.”

I clearly saw a hint of mockery flash across Kimberly’s face. And Reynaldo just watched me quietly, with an indifferent expression. After a while, Kimberly suddenly leaned in close to Reynaldo’s ear. I don’t know what she said to Reynaldo, but then she walked towards me. I furrowed my brows, feeling a bit resistant. I never really liked Kimberly, not only because she was Reynaldo’s beloved, but also because she was too enthusiastic. Anyway, being with her made people feel a bit uncomfortable.

Kimberly walked over with a smile. “Oh, Ms. Duffy, what a coincidence.” Trevin heard a sound and quickly turned his head to look. Kimberly had a pure and sweet appearance, and she dressed fashionably. Trevin looked at me with shining eyes and asked excitedly, “Esmeralda, is this your friend?”

Chapter 150

“Yes, Ms. Duffy and I were friends.” Before I could even speak, Kimberly laughed at Trevin. Trevin immediately looked surprised and said to me, “Esmeralda, I didn’t expect you to have such a friend. This young lady looks very elegant, like a wealthy young lady.”

I ignored Trevin’s surprise and asked Kimberly indifferently, “Is there something wrong?” “Oh, it’s no problem. Since we happened to run into each other, let me treat you to this meal. Order whatever you want.” “Don’t need…” “Really?”

I hadn’t finished speaking when Trevin excitedly looked at Kimberly and said, “Can we really order anything we want? Then can I have this king crab?” Trevin quickly pulled out the menu and showed Kimberly the page with the king crab. I saw the price was 3,888 and couldn’t help but frown.

Kimberly glanced at me and smiled at Trevin, “Of course, you are Ms. Duffy’s friend, so naturally you are my friend too. Choose whatever you like, no problem.” “Wow, Esmeralda, your friend was so generous.” I looked at Kimberly lightly and said, “No need, we could still afford this meal.”

“Hey, Esmeralda, don’t say that. They wanted to treat us to a meal; it was a kind gesture.” “Moreover, this Emperor Crab costs 3,888, how can we afford it?” Trevin said anxiously to me. In that moment, I furrowed my brows, and I happened to catch a hint of derision flash across Reynaldo’s forehead not far away.

I was so annoyed. I kept saying that it wouldn’t end well if I ate with them in the same place. I exclaimed to Trevin, “Expensive things are not suitable for us to consume, so let’s not eat them.” Trevin became even more anxious: “But how can we refuse? This beautiful lady has invited us, why would you want to waste her kind gesture?”

“Yeah, Ms. Duffy, don’t be polite with me. Just now, it seemed like you guys thought the consumption here was expensive and wanted to go somewhere else to eat. Reynaldo couldn’t bear it and specifically asked me to come and invite you. “Just a meal, don’t be polite.”

“Mmm.” Trevin nodded vigorously. “We won’t be polite, after all, this is also your kind gesture.” “Well, sir, do you still want to have a bottle of red wine? I just looked at the menu, and the red wine is not expensive either. The most expensive one is just over fifty thousand per bottle. Do you want to order one?”
