Chapter 1192 The Most Distinguished Homeowner
Veronica couldn’t help but doubt her own cars. They had only ordered four cups of coffee and some pastries at the Blue Mountain Café, so how could it cost over twenty-thousand? She currently had only at few thousand in her phone, and even that amount made her feel distressed. She had thought that paying. the bill would only cost a few hundred!
“What’s wrong, darling? I didn’t intend for you to pay. My wallet and phone are in the car right now. When. we go back to the car. I’ll give you the money. Do you really not trust me?” Soren said.
Veronica clenched her teeth and bit her lower lip, unsure of what to say. She had bragged a lot to Soren before, claiming that her family was in business and earned several hundred thousand a year. She also presented herself as a wealthy young lady, with all her designer brands acquired through group buys at a low cost, all to create the image of a socialite. She aimed to find a wealthy boyfriend and ascend the social ladder.
“Darling, do you really think I don’t have twenty-thousand on me? Or are you just lying to me?” Soren’s expression changed as he asked.
Veronica’s face instantly turned ugly upon hearing his words. She felt embarrassed and didn’t know what to say. Then she quickly changed her train of thought and said, “Of course, I can come up with twenty- thousand! It’s just that I forgot to bring that card when I left, so I don’t have that much money with me now. What should we do? Darling, why don’t we go to where you parked and get your phone?”
Soren cleared his throat and said, “If it were anywhere else, it would be fine. But this is the Blue Mountain Café! If we want to come in again, we’ll have to trouble my friend to let us in. What if he’s too busy and can’t spare the time? It’ll be awkward.”
Just at that moment, a waitress approached with a smile and looked at the four of them, saying, “Sir, you mentioned paying the bill earlier. Will you be paying by card or cash?”
Soren immediately turned his head, pretending not to notice, as he didn’t have that much money. It’s twenty-thousand! Who would have thought that Veronica, this terrible woman, was also pretending to be wealthy? This is a disaster!
“Sir, how would you like to pay?” The waitress continued to smile.
Jessica, seeing their reactions, knew that they couldn’t afford it. She sighed helplessly, stood up from her chair, and said, “Let me pay.”
Upon hearing Jessica’s voice, the waitress turned her head and, upon seeing Jessica’s face, her smile. became even more respectful.
“Oh, it’s Ms. Saffin, one of our most esteemed customers at Del Costa and our most prestigious VIP at Blue Mountain Café. You can enjoy all our coffee and pastries for free as our VIP guest,” the waitress said with a smile.
Jessica thanked her and sat back down.
Veronica was bewildered. She didn’t understand what was happening. Why does everyone else have to pay for their coffee, but Jessica is different? She is just a secretary. How did she become the most distinguished VIP customer at the Blue Mountain Café?
Unable to contain her curiosity, Veronica stood up and asked the waitress, “Are you mistaken? How could Jessica be a VIP customer here? She’s only here because of my boyfriend’s connection. She’s able to come to the Blue Mountain Café because of him.”
