He had been ruthlessly conned

Hearing the sound from the front desk, josh was shocked to see that these two people had not left yet.

"Where are you going?" Lara asked.

He replied, "To get something to eat"

"Eat?" Lara was contemplating silently. For a trash like him, he would probably prefer fast food on the streets even after living luxuriously. After all, he was still part of the low-class commoners who would never be able to climb up the ladders of wealth. She coughed and said seriously, "josh, I lend you money and you haven't thanked me, have you?"

Although he was disgusted by Lara's words, he nodded calmly. Although he had borrowed 200 dollars from her and was eventually forced to pay back 400 dollars, it was evident that without the 200 dollars, he would have starved long ago.

"Thanking you is what I should do".

Lara sneered and continued, "My boyfriend and I haven't eaten yet. Would you like to invite us to have a meal in this hotel?"

Josh nodded. "Okay"

He took the bait!

Lara and Conrad looked at each other. They had eaten here before. Although they ordered the most ordinary dishes, it cost at least a thousand dollars for a few dishes. Three people would cost at least two thousand dollars.

He no doubt loved to show off, he even straight up agreed to it.

"Thanks. Let's go then, I am so hungry". Lara smiled while holding Conrad's arm and walked to the restaurant.

Josh followed them. The three of them found a place in the restaurant and sat down.

Soon, the waiter came over with the menu and said, "Good evening. We have a Friday special offer of set dishes here. Three meat dishes, one vegetarian dish, and one soup at only 900 dollars. Would you like to think about it?"

The waiter knew that the three of them were all students, so he recommended a cheaper option for them.

Lara shook her head hurriedly and pouted, "I don't want to have set dishes".

"I don't want it either", Conrad agreed.

Lara looked at josh and asked cunningly, "josh to thank me, you wouldn't just treat me to set dishes, will you?"

He said casually, "Well, you can order whatever you like"

"Seriously? Whatever I like?" Lara snorted and rolled her eyes. How much do you actually have to ask me to simply order whatever I like?

So pretentious!

Lara, of course was more than happy to hear so. She took the menu and pointed at whatever she liked.

She ordered a total of seven dishes, and at this point, even the waiter's expression was a little strange. These dishes were all Triumph Hotel's expensive recommended dishes, costing them around four to five thousand dollars in total. Judging that they were students, how could they afford such expensive dishes? He confirmed once more, "Are you sure you want to order so much? Each dish in Triumph Hotel is not only of great quality, but also of great quantity. Generally speaking, four or five dishes should be enough for three people".

Lara looked at him, attempting to sense panic from his expression. She smiled and asked, "I'll confirm if you don't have anything to add on?"

He nodded casually. "Yep, that's all"

The waiter took a look at josh with eyes full of sympathy. At first glance, he knew that he had been ruthlessly conned. Yet, he had no choice but to take the menu and leave.

Soon, the dishes were served. There were a lot of dishes, and the three of them definitely could not finish them all. Lara ate only two pieces of beef before getting a more evil idea. "Josh, it seemed I ordered too many dishes. Since there are lot of dishes here, would you mind if I invite a few friends to come over and eat together? It will be livelier!"

Josh said indifferently, "Well, it's up to you"

Lara looked at his calm face and sneered in her heart. At this time, he still pretended to be generous. "Since there's going to be more people later, it'll be alright if we add on a few more dishes, right?"

Josh nodded.

Lara and Conrad looked at each other and chuckled. Then they buried their heads in their meals and continued to eat.

Not long after, two beautiful women came with their boyfriends.

josh knew these two beauties. One was called Summer Cherise and the other was called Tia Thomston. However, he didn't know the two men.

The two of them rushed over after hearing Lara claim that there was an idiot treating them to food at Triumph Hotel. When they came and realised that the idiot was josh mark, their faces were full of disbelief.

Tia sat down and whispered in Lara's ear, "Isn't this josh? Does he even have any money?"

Lara said in a low voice, "This idiot has a stroke of luck since he picked up a lot of money".

Saying this, Lara called over the waiter. The newly came four people ordered dishes, which costed around four or five thousand.

All the dishes cost more than ten thousand, and josh was pretty sure already dying inside. Lara gloated at his misery.

The dishes were soon served. The three couples were eating happily. However, no one spoke to him as they isolated him completely.

Josh had nothing to say either and ate his own food quietly. After a while, since he was almost done with the meal, he called the waiter over.

The waiter rushed over with the bill and said respectfully, "Sir, the total is 9,302 dollars".

She looked at josh who was dressed cheaply and wondered how he was going to pay.

Lara, Conrad and the other four who came afterwards looked at him maliciously. They were so happy since they wanted to see him make a fool of himself.

However, he took out ten thousand in cash from his bag and Lara's eyes shot open. Sure enough, he had picked up twenty thousand dollars!
