“Check out the menu and see if there’s anything you like.” Marion said, handing the menu to her.
Debra casually browsed through it. “Let’s have everything Randy mentioned.”
Marion chuckled, and Randy exclaimed, “See? Marion never picks wrong! Those are all your favorites!”
Debra looked at Marion, who didn’t seem inclined to explain.
“Sorry sir, the crab just ran out. We can offer you a substitute of equal value. How about…” The waiter trod carefully, not wanting to upset Marion. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
Randy frowned. “What’s going on? I made a reservation in advance. How can it be unavailable?”
He prided himself on managing such matters impeccably, and this was like a slap in the face.
“We’re really sorry, but the crab was already reserved by another guest. The clerk made a mistake, and we could compensate you with two other dishes. Please accept our apologies, sir.
“Is this a matter of compensation? Who reserved it? I’ll go speak to them!” Randy said.
Debra stopped him, saying, “It’s okay. The crab is unnecessary. I don’t like seafood anyway.”
In her previous life, she ate crabs only because Juan liked them.
In fact, she didn’t care for seafood at all.
“Just because you don’t like seafood, Marion ordered it. This is so annoying!” Randy was pissed off.
Debra smiled at the waiter and said, “Please get us sea cucumbers instead.”
“Okay, I’ll have the chef prepare.
Debra looked at Randy with her cheek on her hand and said, “Sea cucumbers are better than crabs, right?”
Randy relented, and Debra excused herself, “I’m going to the bathroom.”
Debra got up and ran into the waiter carrying crab into a room on the other side.
“Miss, the bathroom’s just ahead,‘ he pointed.
“Thank you
Debra, in high heels, walked to the end of the corridor and saw a large group of people inside the privatel room. It seemed like a grand banquet.
“Miss, the bathroom’s here,” the waiter reminded again
Debra turned around and saw it.
Inside the private room, Juan heard the noise outside. He looked over and caught a glimpse of a red figure.
Mr. Clark is toasting you,” Shelia reminded him with a small voice.
Juan hummed in response.

“Congratulations, Mr. Nichols!” Dave Clark said.
“Oh?” Juan’s mind was pulled back, but he didn’t know what was there to celebrate.
“Some time ago, Mrs. Nichols bought a piece of land from an auction. It has been included in the green zone, and the subsidies will be billions of dollars. The price of this land is unlimited,” Dave explained.
Juan frowned because he hadn’t heard the news, while Shelia was shocked by the revelation.
“Mr. Clark, are you joking?” She asked.
“How can I? This is all true. Mr. Nichols, you don’t know?” Dave replied.
