Chapter 22: The cheap girl in cheap clothes

.Just as she was eagerly waiting, the waiter came over. "Hello, would you like to pay the bill now?"

"Um... can you wait a bit?" Alice's face turned red. "My friend went to the restroom."

"Are you referring to the guest who came with you? She has already left."

"What?" Alice finally realized that she had been tricked by Yolanda. She pretended to have a stomachache, but actually wanted to run away! Now she was left alone here, and if she didn't pay, would they let her go? "How much is it?"

"The total is 12356 yuan, rounded down to 12350 yuan."

"..." Alice's hand holding the phone froze, and her eyes rusted as she turned to the delicious dishes on the table. "So expensive..."

"The wine is the most expensive item," the waiter said.

"I didn't drink any wine."

The waiter smiled but said nothing.

Alice knew this couldn't be an excuse for not paying.

But over 10,000 yuan for one meal, her heart was really bleeding!"If... I don't pay, what will you do?"

"We will call the police."

Alice took a deep breath, turned her face to the side, raised her arm, and hung her little hand down. "Go ahead and arrest me!"

The waiter was dumbfounded.

It was simply unheard of!

Alice didn't care about her dignity anymore!

Over 10,000 yuan, how much milk powder and diapers could she buy for her child? And now Aunt Charlotte was left alone to take care of three children, without any increase in salary?

"Think about it, let's close it up! It'll be less of a burden on your mind!"

"Guest, you're making things difficult for us. I think if you can't afford it, you shouldn't come to such a high-end place to consume. It's embarrassing," the waiter said with a mocking attitude.

Alice's face turned red as she was being talked about, and she lowered her head.

Especially when the waiter intentionally raised his voice, other table's guests heard it and looked over.The manager also came over, "What's going on?"

"Manager, this person doesn't have the money to pay for this dinner and wants to eat for free," the waiter said.

The manager looked at Alice, "I noticed you when you came in. You're dressed so cheaply, what were you thinking coming here to eat?"

Alice looked down at her clothes, which were always clean except for being a little cheap. Was it necessary to say that?

"If you don't have any money, then have your friends or family pay for it," the manager said.

"I don't have any friends, and my family is not available..." Alice didn't dare to call her aunt to come over so blatantly.

Besides, it wasn't that she didn't have the money in her bank account, but that she had to support her child.

Between paying and being taken away by the police, she chose the latter...

"I've never seen someone as shameless as you!" The manager became angry, "Since you don't know what's good for you, we'll have to call the police!"

At this time, a waiter hurriedly came over, "Manager, Mr. Davis is here!"

The manager immediately felt like he was facing a great enemy and turned to the door, leading the waiter with a respectful and bent posture.

A tall black figure suddenly descended upon the restaurant, exuding a powerful aura.

His eagle-like black eyes swept across the room and landed on Alice's face.

Alice never expected to run into Adam while dining here, wishing she could find a hole to hide in...

The manager noticed Adam's gaze and knew the commotion earlier was a bit too much, so he quickly explained, "That lady came here to dine and dash, it's the first time we've encountered this kind of situation since opening. We disturbed Mr. Davis, and on behalf of our restaurant, we offer our sincerest apologies to you!"

"Dine and dash?" Adam's tone was indifferent, his black eyes inscrutable.

"Yes! She was wearing cheap clothes from head to toe, came here to dine and dash. I have to say this lady has a unique mind! After all, our food here is one of the best in Star City. Poor people can die without regrets after eating here!" The manager sighed.Adam walked towards the inside without changing his expression.

The manager hurriedly said, "Mr. Davis, your private room is over here..."

However, Adam seemed to have not heard him at all, striding with his long legs.

With one hand in his pocket and the other pulling out a chair, he sat down and stared coldly with his black eyes.

Alice pursed her lips, tilting her face and avoiding his gaze.

The manager was at least someone with a sharp eye, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to hold the position of "manager".

Seeing that something was wrong, the manager's face was anxious. Could it be... someone he knew?

But the girl's clothes...

"How much?" Adam asked in a low, intimidating voice.

"I... I don't know! She didn't cheat or eat for free! The young lady is definitely wearing the most expensive clothes in the world, and my eyes are just too dull and my knowledge too shallow!" The manager was sincerely afraid, and at this moment, he would rather pay out of his own pocket!

Who was Mr. Davis? In front of him, he was just an ant! Alice looked at the manager, who had suddenly changed his demeanor, and thought to herself, "You're not dull, and I'm not wearing expensive clothes. It's just that Adam has a strong presence..."

Seeing that Adam didn't say anything, the manager quickly gestured to the waiter to remove the tableware and asked, "Mr. Davis, what flavor would you like today?"

"The usual."

"Yes! I'll prepare it right away!" The manager bent deeply and walked out, only straightening up and wiping the cold sweat from his forehead after he had gone a distance.

Alice could tell that Adam had dined here more than once.

She didn't know if she was lucky or not, but at least she didn't have to be arrested by the police...

"Thank you, but I don't have the money to pay you back. Can you deduct it from my salary?" Alice said.

It was impossible for her to withdraw money from her bank card.

"The money you can't take out is not enough for a meal in my eyes," Adam said coldly.

Alice understood what he meant. He looked down on her."I wish I could," Adam said after a moment of silence.

"What?" Alice asked.

Adam remained silent, his dark eyes dangerously fixed on her.

Bad memories made Alice's mind go blank, and her face turned red in embarrassment as she instinctively swallowed her saliva.

Adam's dark eyes remained cold and indifferent.

"Brother Mu!" Yolanda ran over. "Brother Mu, is it really you? I...I thought I was seeing things!"

Adam raised his eyes and saw the beautiful face before him.

"Brother Mu, do you remember me?" Yolanda asked expectantly.

"Sun's daughter," Adam looked away, seeming a little impatient.

"Yes, I'm Yolanda. I've been to Davis Family before," Yolanda's happy expression couldn't be concealed.

The man before her was even more charming than before, with a tall and strong figure and a handsome face, making her admiration for him even stronger.

But her good mood was ruined when she saw Alice sitting across from them.Alice felt a little uneasy and said, "I still have something to do, so I'll go back first…"
