Chapter 395
"Uh... Waiter, I think there's been a mistake with the order. I didn't order the Lafite."
"Uh... I mean, one bottle of wine isn't enough to share among all of us."
Danny asked nervously.
These dishes were not what he had ordered.
It was just a class reunion. He had only ordered basic home-style dishes, which cost only a few thousand.
He was trying to pretend to be a big shot just by spending a little money!
Now, with king crab, a lobster, and Lafite, he knew this meal would cost around two hundred thousand dollars!
If it weren't for maintaining his reputation, especially with Tara there, he would have definitely returned the order.
The waiter seemed to notice Danny's slight embarrassment and politely responded, "Sir, you indeed did not order these. These dishes and the wine were specifically requested to be sent by our boss." "Sent?" Danny was stunned.
"Yes, sir." The waiter smiled.
"Sent to me?" Danny asked.
"I'm not sure, sir. The boss didn't specify but said he would come by personally to offer a toast later," the waiter replied.
Danny was stunned again.
"Of course, it's for you, Danny. Besides you, who else here would have such clout!" At that moment, one classmate started flattering first.
Once one started, the others quickly followed suit.
"No wonder. Danny, you are really awesome!"
"Danny, you're both modest and powerful!"
"Haha! Really?"
Danny enjoyed the flattery, yet he couldn't help but feel surprised.
He wondered why the owner, Travis, who was worth over a hundred million dollars and ran the well-known Lunar Crest Restaurant locally, would suddenly send him such a surprise.
But on second thought, he had spent a million dollars here. He thought the owner wanted to please a loyal customer like him.
He remembered that the waiter had mentioned Travis would come over to offer him a toast soon. He also recalled that no one else had such influence apart from him.
He figured it was impossible to be Cameron.
Danny shook his head inwardly.
"Danny, you really have great influence," Misty spoke softly and sweetly, sending Danny a covert flirtatious look.
She knew that if she could latch onto Danny, a wealthy man, she wouldn't have to buy fake luxury goods to maintain her appearance. She felt that she could finally own the authentic ones!
She was really tired of carrying a counterfeit Hermes shoulder bag!
This class reunion almost had her fake purse exposed by Tara's poor boyfriend by a fluke!
"Heh, it's all good." Danny feigned modesty.
"Danny, you're so humble. I want to do some business as well. I wonder if you could teach me?" Misty said as she hooked Danny's ankle with her foot.
Danny's heart raced, immediately grasping Misty's intent.
"Haha, sure, no problem!" Danny confidently assured.
The other female classmates immediately caught on. They regretted their slow reactions.
"Well, since the dishes are served, let's not just sit here. I'll toast to our friendship!" Danny stood up and boldly declared!
After all, he recalled that he wasn't the one paying for the wine. Otherwise, he would not have been willing to treat these classmates!
"Danny, then we wish you ever
greater success in your business and more prosperity in the coming days. Hopefully, you can also help some of us out!"
Everyone stood up.
Many were already eager to taste the Lafite.
"Haha, sure!"
Danny found a corkscrew, opened the Lafite, and began pouring for his classmates. He showed gentlemanly modesty.
When it was Cameron's turn, Hayley suddenly made a snide remark. "Danny, why bother pouring for him? Does he even deserve Lafite?" "Exactly! He loves to show off so much, let him buy his own if he's so rich!"
"A guy who talks about withdrawing a billion dollars, can't he afford a bottle of wine?"
The women said scornfully.
Danny had the same intention, but it wasn't convenient for him to speak up. He felt that Cameron deserved to be taught a lesson for his arrogance! "Sorry, young man. There really isn't enough to go around, and I can't neglect my old classmates just for you."
Danny feigned an apology, then proceeded to bypass Cameron.
Just then, the door to the private room was pushed open again.
A middle-aged man in a suit walked in while holding a glass of red wine.
It was Travis, the owner of the Lunar Crest Restaurant!
