Chapter 11 - $140,000 Bill (1/2)

Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Everyone dug in at once after all food was served. They did not care if Connor and Brandon could pay, but they just enjoyed themselves as long as they were not the ones who would pay for it.

Mandy was sitting next to Brandon. Her expression was awful as she knew that Brandon could not afford to pay for today’s meals. Even if Connor could pay for it, he would probably have to spend all his savings. Was it worth spending all his savings just to save face?

Thinking about it, Mandy looked at Connor with even more disdain.

She felt that Connor should not have competed with a rich kid like Brandon. Even if he won this time, it would not change the fact that he was a poor guy.

One hour into the feast, everyone had had their fill. They all looked at Connor and Brandon, starting to worry that they would not have the money to settle the bill.

The lady in a bodycon dress swung her hips as she walked up to Connor and Brandon in her high heels, and she said in a soft voice, “The total bill is one hundred forty thousand and eight hundred dollars, sir. Would you like to pay in cash or by card?”

‘$140,000?’ Hearing the figure, everyone gasped in shock, and their chests were heaving. No one expected that the meal would cost so much.

Brandon’s expression stiffened. It was $140,000. Even though he only had to pay for half of it, it was still $70,000. He simply did not have that much money in his hands now.

While everyone was still in shock, Connor picked up the food delivery bag at his feet and took out a stack of cash. It was exactly $70,000.

They saw the banknotes inside Connor’s food delivery bag and gasped in astonishment.

‘Holy moly! A whole bag of banknotes. How much is it in there?’

Connor looked nonchalant as he handed the stack of cash to the lady in a bodycon dress. “Here you go.”

“Thank-Thank you!” The lady was a little nervous when she took the stack of cash. She did not expect that Connor would be so generous and did not even bat an eyelid over the meal that cost $140,000.

“I will only pay seventy-thousand dollars while he will pay the other half.” Connor pointed at Brandon just when the lady was about to leave.

Everyone in the room was wide-eyed, looking over at Connor in shock. They never expected that Connor could fork out $70,000 without batting an eyelid.

Brandon was still in his seat. Cold sweat trickled down his back as he did not know what to do.

“Absolutely.” The lady nodded, then she looked at Brandon. “Would you like to pay in cash or by card?”

Brandon’s mind went blank upon hearing that. He had long expected it would cost a lot to dine in Brasserie Le Bernardin. So, before Brandon came, he had borrowed $20,000 from a friend. Together with his own $20,000, he only had $40,000. Brandon did not expect that the meal would cost as much as $140,000.

“Give-Give me a second. Let me make a call.” Brandon stuttered, and then he picked up his phone and started dialing.
