Hugo stabbed his fork into his steak, lifted a perfectly tender piece, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Instantly, his taste buds did a standing ovation. The rich, buttery flavor, the perfectly seared crust, the melting goodness of the meat...
It was like a luxury vacation for his tongue!
But then, as he swallowed, his eyes drifted to the menu sitting mockingly on the table. His face twitched.
$175.99 FOR A SINGLE STEAK?!
Hugo almost choked on the steak when he saw those disastrous numbers again. He hurriedly drank a glass of water to clear his throat.
This steak wasn't just expensive, it was highway robbery!
What, was the cow hand-fed golden grass by a Michelin-star chef before being personally escorted to steak heaven?!
And why the hell did Celine have to pick the fanciest restaurant in the entire area?!
He stole a glance at her across the table.
