The room buzzed with envious murmurs.
"Looks like we’re already full from all this lovey-dovey talk, and dinner hasn’t even started yet,” someone joked. Vivian grinned and chimed in, "So, when are you going to bring your boyfriend over for us to meet? A great guy like that is a rare find."
Linda blushed and laughed, "Sure, when the time comes."
Though Linda was chatting with everyone else, her eyes kept drifting to Chloe. But Chloe’s face remained inscrutable, showing no sign of interest. Linda’s heart sank a little.
Just then, the server brought over the tablet with the menu. Linda handed it to Chloe. "Chloe, pick whatever you like. Don’t hold back."
Chloe took the tablet with a smile and swiftly made her choices. A few minutes later, she handed it back to Linda. "You might want to check it over."
Linda waved it off and passed it to the server. "I trust your taste."
Soon, the dishes began arriving. At first, everyone was having a great time, enjoying the food and drinks. But before long, Linda noticed something odd. Two hours had passed, and the plates and bottles kept coming.
Everyone was too wrapped up in the feast, showering her with compliments on her generosity, so Linda stayed quiet. But when the meal finally ended, the server brought over the bill, and Linda’s jaw dropped.
Ninety-eight thousand!
She looked at the server in disbelief. “How can it be this expensive?”
