Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 560

Jimmy's mood was enlightened suddenly.

He placed his hand around Anna's shoulder. "Since you guys are here too, why don't we all have a meal together?"

Kobi raised his wrist to look at the time. "Nah, we've just finished eating and are about to leave..."

"Anna, come sit here." As if he didn't hear what Kobi said, Jimmy pulled Anna, who was looking stiff, over and sat down. He then looked at Ariah and smiled. "Why are you still standing there?" Hearing that, Ariah was speechless.

And she gritted her teeth hard.

Soon, Jimmy noticed that she was staring at him holding Anna's hand, so his grin widened. "What would you guys like to eat? It's on me. You may order whatever you want."

Kobi rubbed his temples. "Jimmy, what are "

"Sure!" Ariah suddenly interrupted and gave Jimmy a sweet smile. Then, she pulled out a chair and sat opposite Jimmy. "Did you say it's your treat?"

"Yep."

Getting his reply, Ariah was annoyed and hissed,

"Okay, if that's what you want!"

How dare he held hands with Anna in front of her? Irritated, Ariah decided to teach him a lesson.

Meanwhile, Jimmy just raised his eyebrows at her and said, "It's just a hot pot. It won't cost me a lot."

Ariah's face was filled with anger. He was right, but there must be something she could do to teach him a lesson!

With an enlightened mood, Jimmy enjoyed watching her getting frustrated.

Seeing that, Ariah sneered and called the waiter.

Soon, a waiter came over and thought that they had finished the meal and wanted to pay. "Hi, would you like to pay for your bill? Please come with me. The register is just over there." "No, I wanna order."

"Huh?" Hadn't they already finished eating?

"Tidy up the table and serve us your most expensive hot pot soup base."

"Uh..." The waiter was taken aback and asked uncertainly, "Are you sure you want the most expensive soup base?"

"Do you guys really have one?" Ariah was surprised. She was just saying and she did not expect that they would really have this option.

With pride, the waiter answered, "Of course, we do. We always try our best to meet our customers' expectations. Our owner knows that there are a lot of rich people in Beachmarsh City who like to order expensive items, so we do have an option to serve a luxurious yet unique soup base!"

"Whoa, that's very clever of your boss!"

"Indeed!"

"Then what's this luxurious yet unique soup base about?"

"Well, the soup base is made of fresh and topgrade ingredients only, and it costs around two grand, not including the main and side dishes." Although two grand wasn't a big sum for Jimmy, it was still a lot for an average hot pot meal, which usually would only cost a few hundred.

"I see. Then we would like to have that," Ariah said with a smile.

"Sure."

After the waiter left, Jimmy looked at her with a faint smile. "Is that all you want to order?" Propping up her chin, Ariah beamed with pleasure. "Nah, I haven't finished ordering yet."

Jimmy was surprised to hear that. He thought that she had finished ordering already. What was she up to?

Not only was Jimmy puzzled, but even Anna and

Kobi had no idea what Anna was going to do. Even if she wanted to order something else, she wouldn't be able to make Jimmy go broke with just one meal. A hot pot meal couldn't cost that much, could it?

When the soup base was served, it smelled really good and Ariah couldn't wait to eat as she hadn't eaten much just now.

After serving all the dishes, the waiter was about to leave, but Ariah stopped him.

He turned around and asked, "What else can I do for you?"

Ariah glanced around the restaurant and asked, "How many more of this soup base can you serve?"

"Uh... as much as you like. We'll try our best to accommodate the requirements of our diners."

"Cool, then serve all the hot pot broth you can. Also, how much more hot pot ingredients do you still have for tonight?"

The waiter was completely dumbfounded but answered anyway, "Well, we still have enough ingredients for thousands of people."

"Great. Then serve them all," Ariah waved her hand and ordered decisively.

Hearing that, the waiter was too shocked to say

anything.

He even began to doubt if she could pay for the meal at all.

Not only was the waiter shocked, but the three were also taken aback. Soon, Anna came back to her senses and looked at Ariah suspiciously. "What are you doing?" "Nothing." Ariah then turned to Jimmy and asked, "You said that the treat is on you. Does it still count?"

Jimmy was speechless.

Meanwhile, Anna couldn't hold back her curiosity and stated, "You ordered so much just now. Can you finish them at all?"

However, Ariah just grinned. "Well, someone can finish them for me."

"Who? I can't possibly eat so much!"

Ariah rolled her eyes. "Please, I didn't mean you!"

Right then, Kobi also cut in curiously, "Who is it then?"

Hearing that, Ariah turned her head and pointed outside. "I'm gonna treat those who are still working on the street on a cold day like this since someone wants to do a good deed today." Clearly, Ariah was referring to the sanitation workers who were cleaning the street outside.

Meanwhile, the three were choked at her words.

Looking at the three who were totally shocked, Ariah smiled satisfyingly and looked at Jimmy, saying, "Well, I've already ordered the dishes. Don't forget to pay the bill."

Tsk, she bet he would think twice next time when he wanted to treat people to meals.

Finally, Ariah felt her mood getting much better.

Now, she was waiting to see how Jimmy would make a fool of himself. As a police officer, his basic salary, together with a bonus, was around ten grand at most, so tonight's meal would definitely cost him a lot. Just as she was gloating over the fact that Jimmy might not pay for the bill, things turned out different from her expectation.

Instead of getting angry, Jimmy raised his eyebrows at her and gave her an approving look.

Then he took out a card from his wallet and handed it to the waiter. "Pay the bill."

The waiter had served rich diners before so he instantly recognized that it was a platinum card.

This was a limited-edition one, and not everyone was qualified to apply for such a card.

Immediately, the waiter changed his attitude and said politely, "Sure, please wait for a moment, sir. I'm gonna have to inform our manager about this." What a lucky day. The waiter couldn't believe that he had encountered such a generous customer.

Just as he was about to leave with the platinum card, suddenly, he heard a shout behind him. "Wait!"

Turning back, a figure dashed toward him and took away the platinum card.

The waiter was dumbfounded. "Miss...?"

The woman who took away the card was the one who ordered the meals decisively just now. Was she not going to pay for the meals?
