At night, when the lights began to shine, the prosperous city showed another scene.
Vivian, dressed in casual clothes, followed John to the tall building in front of her. She had an impulse to turn around and go.
In addition to the Imperial Hotel, there's another expensive five-star restaurant in Jin'an —— Blue Bay Hotel.
The minimum price of a common appetizer is about 1400$, which is equal to her one-year salary, oh no, it should be equal to her three-year salary.
She knew how expensive the dishes were. When she worked in the past, she overheard the discussion of envy and jealousy from the shop assistants, she is a girl with a very limited outlook. Poverty limits her imagination.
Because she couldn't imagine why the bad dish was so expensive.
"Let's change to another place to have dinner." She couldn't afford the price, and she finally knew why he dressed formally.
John looked at Vivian's lovely expression and said with a smile, "Vivi, I have already decided to have dinner here. I know the owner of this restaurant. You don't need to pay for it."
Vivian looked down at her T-shirt and casual pants, and said, "John, let's change a place. I'll be kicked out if I go in like this."
Her clothes were "disheveled", generally, she was not allowed to be put in this kind of high-level place.
John hold her little soft hand and went inside. "It's OK. We are the only two in the restaurant."
Yeah! If there are only two of us in the restaurant, I don't need to care about what other people think of me. However, this is not the point. There are only two people, it means he booked a whole restaurant?!
Vivian's way of thinking was different from others, and she didn't pay attention to the key at all. "John, can we cancel it now? It's too expensive."
We are not celebrating going bankrupt. She would feel guilty if he paid.
John raised his pretty eyebrow and asked, "Don't worry about it. I can afford it. Don't you believe in my ability to make money?"
"Of course not. I just ..." There's no need to exaggerate like that.
"I've booked the restaurant. It's impossible to cancel it. You can't let me spend money and waste the food. Let's go." John said, pretending to be pathetic.
For the first time, Vivian found that gentle men's coquetry was also irresistible. Moreover, he said that he had paid for it and could not cancel it. If she didn't go, it would be a crime.
So, Vivian was convinced by John.
Blue Bay Hotel has its own characteristic, located on the top floor of the highest building in the city center, surrounded by transparent viewing windows. It is the best place to enjoy the night view of the city.
Quiet dining room, dim lights, a table by the window, there were candle lights, roses, and red wines on it.
Two waiters stood by to help set the dishes.
Vivian became uneasy after knowing it. She became slow after coming out of the hospital. She could say it's not that simple. It's a proposal!!
She was frightened by the bold assumption in her mind. Oh God no.
"Your dishes are ready, sir." The waiter said respectfully and left.
There were only two of them in the room.
Seeing Vivian's delay in moving his chopsticks, John asked with concern, "Vivi, why don't you eat them? Are these dishes not suitable to your taste?"
"No, no, it's just because these dishes look so beautiful. I can't bear to eat them." Vivian replied with an embarrassed smile. She would like to eat the tasty food normally.
