An Impossible Marriage Novel

Chapter 181
Jodie was frustrated as she thought of paying the bill. “Okay. Okay, We‘ll talk about it later. I‘ll hang up now. I haven‘t even
started eating my food. I‘ve spent my money on this, so I have to enjoy all the dishes well!”
Soon after, the waiter laid out all the delicious dishes on the table. There were also desserts for a portion of four. Jodie tried her
best to finish the food. However, she was already full after eating one third of the dishes, so she asked the waiter for the bill. The
moment she heard the figure, she was stunned. “Are you serious? T–This cost forty–six thousand?”
The waiter smiled politely. “Yes, Miss. We can keep the unfinished wine for you. So, you can still drink it when you visit us next
time.”
Jodie almost lost her mind. She did not have that much money with her. She only had eight thousand at that moment, as she
assumed the food she ordered would cost less than ten thousand. Damn it! I‘ve miscalculated this time. That bald man has
tricked me!
She was dumbfounded at that instant. At last, she decided to buy herself some time. With a blushed face, she said, “Can I take
away my unfinished food...”
She did not even touch some of the dishes. Hence, she thought it would be a pity for the food to go wasted. That was the first
time she requested to take away her food at a high–end restaurant. Although she felt embarrassed, she had no better choices.
The waiter maintained his polite smile. “Okay, Miss. Please wait for a moment.”
After he walked away, Jodie took out her phone to call Jenson. She prayed in her heart, hoping that he would pick up her call.
Please help me! This is really urgent.
Unfortunately, her worries seemed to come true. Jenson did not answer her call. After making three calls, she had no choice but
to give up.
Just then, the waiters were taking away her food for her swiftly. She wanted to ask Margaret for help, but she was aware of the
latter‘s financial situation. Therefore, she found it hard to seek help from Margaret.
Suddenly, she saw Steven walking down the stairs. Usually, she would consider herself unlucky to bump into him. But now, her
eyes lit up as if she had seen a glimmer of hope. “Steven!”

Steven diverted his attention in the direction of the voice, looking astonished. A gorgeous lady with a stunning body figure walked
forward to hug his arm. “Steven, who is she?”
Jodie immediately regretted her decision. If she had known that Steven had come here with a woman, she would never have
asked for his help.
“She‘s Jodie Clark, an employee in my company,” Steven replied indifferently. Then, she turned around to look at Jodie. “What a
coincidence! Are you here alone?”
Jodie looked a little awkward. “N–No. I came here with a friend, but he had left earlier.”
Steven smiled. “Remember to go back to the office in time. I‘ll take my leave now.”
“Actually...” Jodie gritted her teeth in embarrassment. But then, no one else would help her if Steven left the restaurant now.
Steven paused in his tracks and asked, “Yes?”
She mustered up her courage to drag him to the side, “Can you borrow me some money? You can deduct the amount from my
salary. I‘ve forgotten to bring my money...” she said with a low voice.

Steven found her amusing. He observed her calmly, asking, “How much do you need?”
“Forty–six thousand...” Jodie replied stiffly.
“Waiter, the bill for Table 8, please.” Steven did not look as awkward as her. He asked the waiter here and paid the bill by card.
After footing the bill, he left the restaurant with that woman. Jodie grabbed the food container and walked outside with her head
hung low. What a disastrous day.
After arriving at the office, Raina called her as soon as she sat down.
Jodie was already in a bad mood, so she answered the call with a harsh tone, “What do you want?”
“How was it? Have you met the man Mrs. Lenheim introduced to you?” Raina asked excitedly.

“Haha! If she likes that man, she can try dating that toad herself. I‘m not interested in him. If you dare to set me up more blind
dates in the future, I won‘t forgive you!” Jodie hung up the phone after saying that.
