Chapter 32
Dreamy Restaurant was located in the center of the city. The people who came here to dine were both rich and noble, including all important figures in City W. The price of one dish here could be more than the annual income of an ordinary person, and a bottle of red wine was as expensive as a small villa.
The most important thing was that not any rich people could come to this place. There are no more than twenty members in total. Other than them, no one else was accepted.
This place had strict privacy policies, and all the attendants were smart and well-trained. They would never disclose anything they had heard or seen here, let alone the secrets of the restaurant. Crystal had never seen such a luxurious restaurant before. Her eyes were dazzled, but she stayed calm. At this time, the manager of Dreamy Restaurant came over personally. “Mr. Luke, may I bring you your regular Domaine de la Romanée-Conti?”
As soon as the manager finished speaking, Harold chimed in, “Give me a glass of milk. Hot milk.” The manager thought that he had misheard it, so he asked again to confirm, “You want a glass of warm milk, sir?”
The guests who came here would either order red wine or champagne. How could someone order warm milk? Did he bring a child with him?
Luke warned him, “Do as Master White said. Don’t ask too much!”
The manager realized that he had lost his composure and was a little frightened. “Yes, yes, sir… I’ll ask someone to heat up the milk right away.”
The three of them took the elevator to the 20th floor.
This floor was the highest level of the restaurant, and only special guests could book the tables here. The more distinguished the guest was, the higher floor they could dine in. They could see the best night view of City W from here.
In the room, there were two foreigners sitting at the table. When they saw Harold, they stood up and greeted him as Master White with the standard accent.
Harold nodded, and Luke pulled out the chair for him. He turned his head and saw Crystal standing in front of the glass window, mesmerized by the night view outside.
He knocked on Crystal’s little head, asking, “Are you not hungry?”
Crystal sat down obediently. After a while, the waiters came in with the dishes, filling up the table. “Master White, you should introduce us. This young lady looks unfamiliar.” The woman sitting opposite Crystal had been looking at her for a while.
Hearing someone mention her, Crystal couldn’t help looking at the woman in front of her. The other was gorgeous with beautiful red lips and sophisticated outfits. Under the light, she looked like a shining pearl.
With her as a comparison, Crystal felt that she was a real country bumpkin. If Harold didn’t take her here, she probably wouldn’t even be able to enter the place. Alas, were all the girls in the city so beautiful?
“Claire, this is Master White’s wife, Mrs. White of the White family.” Luke introduced her.
Claire’s heart clenched, her nails digging into the flesh of her palms. Her eyes were full of jealousy. but she did not dare to make a fuss on the spot. “I thought that Master White wouldn’t agree to an arranged marriage. After all, we’re living in a modern society.”
Harold took a sip of red wine. “I hate arranged marriages, but I don’t hate women.”
She was even more unwilling to give up. If that was the case, why couldn’t she? The woman in front of her was just an ugly little duck with no charm at all. How could she be worthy of Harold!!! Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
“Let’s not talk about this anymore.” Logan glanced at his daughter, indicating for her not to lose her sense of propriety. “We’re here today to discuss business, so let’s just talk about business matters.” Claire had no choice but to hold back her temper, but kept her eyes on Crystal. She wanted to see how good this woman was! How could she make Harold protect her?
The table was full of delicious dishes, but among the five people, only Crystal thought about eating.
