Daniel puffed hard on his cigarette to hide his shock. “Hmm, old ladies know so little. In here, ten thousand a dish is considered normal.”
Hannah glared at Daniel, “You speak as if you're not shocked yourself. Look, your cigarette butt is about to burn your lips.”
“Oh? My gosh!” Daniel quickly spat out the butt. There was a blister on his lip.
