Chapter 17 Winning 150,000 dollars
Scarlett was stunned. “Manager, are you sure you got it right? His message must be fake!”
Tyler also took out his phone and showed the manager the message about their table reservation. “We reserved table 8!”
The manager looked at Tyler’s message and politely smiled. “You both did reserve table 8, but you reserved a regular seat, while Mr. Torres reserved a VIP seat.”
“What? He reserved a VIP seat?” Scarlett looked at the manager in surprise. He was just a poor guy who couldn’t even afford to eat in the cafeteria every day. How could he reserve such a good seat? Scarlett didn’t believe it at all.
In order to make up for his mistake, the manager immediately led Jackson and Lily to the VIP seat at table
When they arrived at the VIP seat, the manager frowned because there were still dishes on the table, and each dish had been eaten. The customers had already reserved a seat, but this situation made their hotel seem very unprofessional.
“Wait a moment, the manager said to Jackson and Lily, then turned to the staff and said angrily. The customers are already here, Why haven’t you cleaned it up?”
“Oh…” Scarlett, who was hugging Tyler’s arm, walked over and asked. “Are you two dining here?”
“Yes, what’s wrong?” Scarlett asked curiously.
The waiter who had made the mistake brought a young server over. “Manager, he brought the customers. to the wrong table!”
The server lowered his head. Im sorry, I just started this afternoon and I’m not familiar with the hotel. The customers were supposed to be at table 8, a regular seat, but I brought them to the VIP seat instead…”
The manager looked at Tyler and Scarlett. Im very sorry for the inconvenience we caused you. Would. you like to move to a regular seat? You won’t be charged for your previous order. These two customers have been waiting for a while.”
Scarlett refused to give up the seat for Jackson. “No way!”
The manager was also in a difficult spot. “Are you sure you want to stay here and eat?”
“Of course, we like eating at this seat. We won’t go anywhere else!” Scarlett looked like a rogue.
The manager sighed and said, “Alright, but I have to make it clear that the price for the VIP seat is much higher than the regular seat!”
“Whatever, we can afford it!” Scarlett sneered, not caring at all.
Scarlett would not leave this seat. She did not want Jackson to feel comfortable here.
Scarlett might be carefree, but she was not the one who was going to pay for it!
“How much is it?” Tyler quickly asked, feeling a bit nervous.
“For what you’ve eaten so far, it’s about 5,000 dollars, plus a reservation fee of 500dollars, dining environment fee of 800 dollars, foreign band performance fee of 2,500 dollars, and a supreme tableware usage fee of 1,200 dollars… The manager listed 7 to 8 items, and the total cost had already exceeded. 20,000 dollars.
This was too much! Tyler was also shocked! He felt anxious, his face was hot, and all he could think of was “we can’t afford this meal” and didn’t know what to do.
“Scarlett, let’s go to a normal spot, Tyler whispered to Scarlett. “Darling, I like it here, let’s eat here!” Scarlett did not want to lose her pride in front of Jackson.
“You’re not leaving? Fine, I’ll leave. Tyler was angry, he did not have enough money, and if they continued to eat here, it would only be embarrassing-
After speaking. Tyler didn’t care about Scarlett and was left alone. Now, Scarlett was alone and could not afford to pay the bill.
The other people around them looked at her, and Scarlett felt extremely embarrassed. She felt uncomfortable even staying here for one second! Scarlett gave Jackson a fierce look, grabbed her bag, and left quickly.
The manager quickly had the waiter clean up the table, and invited Jackson and Lily to sit down. Various delicate dishes were served one after another, the foreign band came to perform again, and a dedicated waiter stood next to the table, ready to serve Jackson.
Scarlett and Tyler did not leave, and even though they had just experienced an awkward situation, Scarlett didn’t want to give up the chance to have a big meal at the Silver Spoon Hotel.
The two of them sat in position 8 at the normal table, and could see Jackson and Lily. Seeing the beautiful environment around Jackson, Scarlett’s mood was extremely depressed!
A poor loser who had been abandoned by her was sitting in the most expensive spot, eating a big meal in front of her. She felt extremely furious! She did not even think the food was delicious, she felt that it was worse than school food.
At the same time, Scarlett was extremely puzzled! Having a meal in the VIP spot would cost at least 20,000 dollars, which even Tyler couldn’t afford.
How could Jackson, a poor nerd, pay for it? He seemed so calm and not panicked at all. Where did he get the money? Scarlett stared at Jackson, her head spinning, but she continued to eat the dishes, after all, this was the Silver Spoon, and if they did not eat up, they might not have the chance to come back again!
Lily was equally surprised and puzzled. She had not recovered her senses since she sat down, she still felt like she was dreaming!
“Jackson, how did you manage to book a table here? And, are you really able to pay for the bill?” Lily asked uneasily. “Don’t worry, I told you, I won’t let you be embarrassed,” Jackson said lightly with a smile.
“Then where did you get the money?” Lily asked again. “Uh…” Jackson thought for a moment. “I won it in the lottery. I was lucky, only spent a few dollars, and won 150,000 dollars.”
Jackson did not want to tell Lily his identity, as it would make their relationship distant and cause him a
“Hey, Lily, don’t worry. I would never think of taking his money,” Scarlett’s face carried a cold smile. thinking to herself, “I just want him to hand over the money obediently.”
