Chapter 80 On The Verge Of Death Without Knowing It (1/2)
The restaurant seemed to be packed with guests. Luckily for her, it was not a weekend and Carla was told that there was one private room remaining. Since she rated it as being good enough, she booked it without hesitation. Soon they arrived at the restaurant and were led into the private room.
”Mr. Noah, please feel free to order anything that suits your liking,”
said Carla, pressing her fingernails deeply into the skin of her leg under the table when she alarmingly noticed the prices on the menu. Her heart wrenched.
Noah was amused to watch her pretending to be generous while her attempts to conceal the pain in her heart was failing miserably. She reminded him of a cute little fox trying hard to hide its disproportionately large tail.
”Okay, thank you for your hospitality,” said Noah. He took up the menu and quickly scanned the golden letters on the black paper. He quickly ordered a few dishes.
Every time he uttered the name of a dish, Carla's eyes frantically searched the menu to calculate the total. One thousand, two thousand, three thousand…
Noah was from a financially sound family. Of course, he ordered the most tasty and expensive dishes.
”That is all. Miss Carla, take a peep and choose your dishes, will you?” Noah asked politely. He knew very well that she couldn't afford to order anything else after his order.
Hence, he had already ordered food and deserts enough for both of them.
”No, thanks. I think you have ordered enough for both of us. It would be a waste to order even more.” Carla waved her hand hastily and returned the menu back to the waiter.
Noah reckoned that she never came to this kind of place from her frugal manners and he suddenly felt pity for her.
As the only daughter of the Hua family, she should have lived an extravagant life with luxurious clothes and tasty food. But look at her, she was struggling to afford one fancy meal.
Bonnie was only the adopted daughter of the Hua family, but the money she paid to get her hair styled, would probably be enough for Carla to live for a year.
”Wow, the food tastes really good. No wonder it is the most expensive restaurant in BH City.” Carla enjoyed the food and appraised whole-heartedly.
She wasn't a picky person on food but she could still tell that the food was really good. So this place actually deserved its reputation.
