Chapter 444 One Million Nine Hundred Eighty-Six Thousand Five Hundred Dollars
The enticing aroma immediately filled the entire private room, wafting into everyone's nostrils.
These dozen or so dishes truly achieved the perfect combination of color, aroma, and taste. Not only did they smell enticing, but they also looked incredibly beautiful, more like works of art than food, making it hard for anyone to dig in.
Especially a few of the dishes, which were so memorable that you could tell just by looking at them that they would taste amazing. These were the dishes ordered from the second menu.
As James gazed upon these dishes, long-suppressed memories surged within his heart. It had been ages since he had tasted food from his own hotel, and he found himself deeply nostalgic.
"Dear guests, please enjoy your meal," the manager personally came in, his face beaming with a bright smile.
He had just calculated backstage that the total cost of this meal, including the drinks, was close to two million dollars.
As the manager, his commission alone was over twenty thousand dollars, almost as much as his monthly salary.
Juniper had never seen such dishes before. Her eyes were glued to the dozen or so dishes on the table, filled with excitement and enthusiasm. She quickly took out her phone to take pictures asa once-in-a-lifetime !
Quade also wanted to take out his phone to take pictures but held back the urge. He was still maintaining the persona of a wealthy person, and taking out his phone to snap pictures would make him seem too easily impressed.
The president felt a pang in his heart when he saw these dishes. In his view, this table of food must have cost at least two hundred thousand dollars.
Spending over a hundred thousand dollars for a woman was expensive.
As for the promise of giving Juniper a house, that was purely a joke. For someone as naive as Juniper, he wouldn't give a single penny. He was just stringing her along. He had engaged in such schemes numerous times. For someone like Juniper, an out-of-towner, what could she possibly do if she were deceived?
After drinking so much earlier, he wasn't drunk, but his head was spinning. Looking at Brandy's delicate and gorgeous face, her pure demeanor, and her wonderful figure, a fire ignited in his body. He was restless, his mouth parched, already envisioning the moment he would press Brandy beneath him and have sex with her.
This made him even more excited, and he didn't feel as bad about the over a hundred thousand dollars anymore.
If he could really conquer a beauty like Brandy and train her well, the over a hundred thousand dollars would be worth it. Moreover, when he got tired of her, he could give her to a big shot and make a huge profit.
James picked up his utensils and smiled at the stunned Brandy, "Come on."
Brandy snapped out of her daze, still in shock, swallowed hard, and said, "Mr. Smith, this lavish spread must be quite costly, right?"
Although she hadn't eaten yet, just by looking at these dishes, she knew they were extraordinary. Even in many TV shows and movies, you rarely saw such a lavish spread. Especially a few dishes she had never even seen before.
"It's alright, not expensive," James said casually and started to pick up some food.
Following his lead, Juniper also quickly started picking up food. Her eager manner looked quite unrefined, like someone who had never seen the world. In no time, her mouth was stuffed full, and she exclaimed sincerely, "It's so delicious! I've never had such good food in my life."
Juniper was a big foodie, and now, tasting such gourmet food, she was almost moved to tears with happiness.
Next, Quade and the other three also started eating. They widened their eyes as well, marveling at how delicious the food was, especially the three dishes James had ordered, which were simply the best food in the world! They had never tasted anything so good in their lives!
"Great, it's so delicious."
"This meal must cost at least a hundred thousand dollars!"
"Luckily, we came with the president; otherwise, we wouldn't get to eat such delicious food!"
The president felt much better hearing Quade and the others praise him continuously. "Actually, you can't get food like this just anywhere. Only a five-star hotel like Serenity Haven Hotel serves it."
Only one person hadn't tried the food, and that was Brandy. Hearing that this meal cost over a hundred thousand dollars, she was shocked.
James selected the most opulent dish and placed it in her bowl, smiling warmly, "Don't worry. These delicacies are meant to be savored. Here, try this. The caviar is exceptionally fresh; you won't find it at just any hotel."
"Mr. Smith, this meal is too expensive," Brandy murmured.
"It's not expensive. I'm very wealthy; you don't need to worry about it." Seeing that Brandy was still reluctant to try, James pretended to be displeased and glared at her, huffing, "Don't you want to give me face?"
"No, that's not what I mean!" Brandy hurriedly explained.
"Then hurry up and eat." James's domineering tone made Brandy's heart tremble, and she obediently complied. As soon as she took a bite, her eyes widened, showing an expression of disbelief and delight. She couldn't help but swallow it in one gulp and exclaimed, "Delicious!"
"Enjoy yourself." James said, smiling as he patted her head affectionately, treating her like a younger sibling.
Brandy was actually a foodie. But because her family wasn't wealthy, she had always been frugal and hesitated to splurge on food. . Now, tasting such delicious food, she couldn't resist anymore. Slowly accepting the reality, she began to eat generously.
What was rare was that, even in the face of such gourmet food, Brandy maintained her elegrance, unlike Juniper, who was gobbling it down. She ate one bite at a time, very elegantly.
Seeing her eat so elegantly, the president felt even more tempted, his heart growing more restless.
The meal lasted for almost an hour before everyone was full. The dozen or so dishes were almost finished, and everyone's stomachs were bulging. Even Brandy's flat stomach was slightly rounded. The food was just too good as for her.
The president gave Quade a subtle nod. Quade instinctively understood, turning to the waiter, he said, "The bill, please."
In an instant, everyone became alert; the main event had finally arrived.
Everyone knew that this meal would definitely cost a lot, at least over a hundred thousand dollars.
The president stared at James with a frigid smile.. He thought James couldn't afford to pay.
The waiter walked over and said, "Dear guests, are you ready to settle the bill?"
"Yes, please calculate the total. And make sure to get it right, understand?" Quade said, deliberately glancing at James. Seeing James's calm demeanor, he felt particularly annoyed.
The waiter looked at the bill and then smiled, "The total is one million nine hundred eighty-six thousand five hundred dollars. Card or transfer?"
