Chapter 88: Showing wealth
Victoria didn't know her mind. She just felt that Maximilian was hiding something from her just now.
Because of the scene happened in the bank, she clearly saw the reaction of several clerks, and then panicked and went to the manager.
They definitely acted so surprised because of what they saw!
Calvin said with an apologetic face.
"Victoria, it's really only fifty thousand. it's a system error, please forgive me! And say sorry to your mom for me. Another day, I will definitely make a visit to apologize in person."
Hearing this, Victoria couldn't ask further, so she nodded, and left.
After Victoria left, Calvin called Maximilian and said with a respectful and flattering smile on his face.
"Mr. Lee, Victoria just came to see me, and I tell her what you said to me."
Maximilian was just coming out of the hospital, nodded and said goodbye, and hung up the phone.
Letting out a breath, Maximilian thought about it and prepared to book a candlelit dinner.
Sort of a little surprise for Victoria.
Life needed a little passion now and then.
Picking a Western-style restaurant, Maximilian was just about to enter when a voice came from behind him.
"Maximilian? How did you get here?"
Looking back, Maximilian saw two stylish girls, walking hand in hand.
And it looked familiar!
More precisely, old friends!
"Sara?"
Maximilian said in amazement.
"Yo, I didn't expect to see you. To meet you even here, it's really stepping on shit when I go out."
Sara was Maximilian's co-worker in the SPA saloon, and a classmate of Victoria, notoriously beautiful and flirty, with a slender figure, delicate features, and a rather hot body line. She had the potential to become an action movie cover girl.
When she saw Maximilian, her expression was also surprised, followed by a sneer full of ridicule.
Maximilian, who was familiar to herself, the husband of that bitch Victoria, was a wimp!
She had always despised poor pussies, especially stinky men like Maximilian who rely on his wife!
Moreover, she and Victoria were already at odds.
"What, where's your wife Victoria? Didn't come out together?"
Sara laughed and turned her head to look around, she just wanted to see if Victoria was there, then she could taunt her to her face.
"Sara, who is this guy? Why is he dressed so corny? You know such a smelly loser?"
The short girl beside Sara laughed sarcastically, not hiding her distaste for Maximilian at all.
Maximilian frowned slightly and thought that, this girl too straightforward and judged him by his appearance, so impolite.
Scold people on first sight?
If it was before, he would have slapped her a few times and made her call him daddy!
"Oh, his name is Maximilian, the loser husband of Victoria, I told you about before."
Sara sneered, saying.
"By the way, this my best friend, Wendy."
Sara said, her face full of mockery and disdain.
Maximilian was really a pervert, and his eyes were looking straight to them? Hadn't he ever seen a beauty?
Wendy also deflated her mouth and scolded in an unpleasant tone.
"Stinky Dick, who are you looking at?
Never seen big breasts before?"
Maximilian shook his head helplessly, grinned, and turned around to leave.
Sara wasn't willing to let go of this opportunity to ridicule him.
Besides, Victoria, the chosen one, who was married to a loser like Maximilian. She would feel unhappy if she didn't tease him on words!
Besides, she heard Maximilian's status in the family these years was worse than a dog!
Sara felt happy in her heart and couldn't wait to show off in front of Maximilian and sneer at him by the way.
So, she pulled Maximilian straight into a cafe next door and laughed.
"It's rare to meet an old acquaintance, let's come in and sit down for a cup of coffee."
Saying that, she also raised an eyebrow at Wendy to show that such a guy, wouldn't it be a waste not to rip off?
Maximilian was going to refuse her, but he couldn't say no.
Picking a booth, the three sat down.
Sara waited for a while before getting up very unhappily and said,
"Wendy, sit down for a moment while I order some coffee."
After that, she glared at Maximilian with contempt.
This loser, he really didn't know how to be a gentleman at all. She dragged him in and he didn't even order coffee for them?
At least, she and Wendy were both beauties! He actually sat there and just waited for them?
Totally unromantic!
Sure enough, he was a loser. Look at the taste in clothes. What a loser.
When the coffee came, Sara looked at Maximilian without grace and asked,
"Do you still work at that saloon?"
Maximilian smiled and nodded in response.
"Yes, I still work in that saloon."
With that, he also looked at the door, as if he was waiting for someone.
Sara snorted and laughed.
"I didn't think that you would still be working there. You must live a poor life.
Look at me, I left last year, I'm already the manager of the Beauty Spa! If you feel that you can't stay anymore someday, you can apply for a job with me! I'll help you for the sake of our old colleagues."
What Sara said, sounding kind, but mixed with arrogant and contemptuous! Anyone could read that it was deliberately mocking Maximilian.
Wendy, who was on the side, also covered her mouth and laughed harshly.
The two women, that were laughing and trembling, commenting on the uselessness of Maximilian.
Just as they were commenting and sneering at Maximilian in various ways, a woman in a black professional suit walked in.
She started looking around as soon as she entered, and then her gaze was locked on Maximilian, who seated at booth.
"Hello Mr. Lee, here's your receipt for tomorrow night's block booking, please take it."
The woman respectfully took a copy of the receipt and handed it to Maximilian.
Maximilian nodded lightly and put the receipt away.
This made both Sara and Wendy panic.
Block booking?
"Sara, isn't she the staff of the Flower Drum Restaurant next door, block booking?
This was impossible......"
Wendy instantly recognized the uniform this woman was wearing, the very uniform of the Flower Drum Restaurant next door!
The Flower Drum Restaurant!
It was a famous Western restaurant in H City. It was said that the average consumption was 10,000 dollars each!
How much would the block booking cost? Hundreds of thousands of dollars?
How could a loser like Maximilian afford a block booking in the Flower Drum restaurant?
It must be kidding!
Sara also gulped, her face full of suspicions, and she asked,
"You're not mistaken, are you? He's booked in your Flower Drum restaurant?
A block booking?!"
The woman craned her head and nodded politely to the pair, saying
"Yes, Mr. Lee has made a block booking in our Flower Drum Restaurant."
With that, she turned around, nodded to Maximilian, and left.
Sara was filled with shock, followed by impatiently grabbing the receipt in Maximilian's hand to take a closer look.
Received by:
Maximilian.
Cost.
Half a million dollars.
"How could this be...... true?"
Half a million dollars for a block booking?
Maximilian actually paid half a million to make a reservation in the restaurant?
Thoroughly flustered with shock all over her face, Sara asked,
"Maximilian, where did you get half a million dollars for the block booking?"
Maximilian thought for a moment and said with a grin.
"Is half a million a large number?"
