Chapter 57: Miss, This Is Our Service Charge
"Miss, do you have any doubts about the payment?" The waitress asked respectfully.
"What, what is this for?" She was puzzled at the extra 300 dollars.
"Miss, this is our service charge." The waitress explained politely.
"Service... charge?"
What service did they even provide?
"Well, Miss, are you paying by card or cash?" The waitress reminded her as she saw her hesitating.
The corners of Rosa's mouth twitched. Four thousand and two hundred dollars, which could cover her and her brother's living expenses for two months...
Four thousand two hundred dollars could cover her and her brother's living expenses for two months...
"Here!" The man smiled and handed over his gold card.
The waitress quickly took the gold card and was about to leave.
"By card, I... I'll pay with my card..." Rosa said as she was about to cry.
However, she had just said that it was her treat!
Going back on her words would be so humiliating!
Rosa took out her card as she trembled and handed it to her reluctantly. "Use this... card!"
The waitress looked at the man and back at the young lady who looked embarrassed.
In the end, not knowing how or why...
She actually took Rosa's card instead.
Rosa was stunned...
Why... why couldn't this waitress read the room?
Had she not seen her bitter expression?
Just take his card and everything would've been fine!
At this moment, she was speechless.
She could only watch her card being taken by the waitress...
As if her child was being kidnapped...
It was so painful that she couldn't breathe!
"Are you okay?" The man stood up and asked as he was holding back his laughter.
Rosa took a deep breath and turned to look at him with a slight smile. "It was a great meal, haha!"
"Indeed, I had a 'great' time tonight." He deliberately emphasized the word.
"Yeah, as long as you're happy." After saying that, she turned around and quickly walked forward.
What's so fun about it!
He's having fun, but it wasn't fun for her at all!
Holding the card and the receipt, the waitress gladly said, "Welcome next time!!"
Rosa smiled and nodded with tears in her eyes.
This restaurant was already marked in her blacklist!
She would never come back for the rest of her life!
On the way back, Rosa sat in his car and in silent.
"Thank you for the meal!" The man found her bitter expression incredibly amusing.
The corners of Rosa's mouth twitched. "Haha, as long as you're... satisfied!"
He turned to look out of the window and smiled.
Was this how capitalists spend their money to eat?
Four thousand and two hundred...
Her two whole months of food expenses!
"Rosa, you idiot, why did you have to force yourself?
"Great, let's see how you live the rest of your days now." She thought.
Rosa was unaware that her bitter expression was reflected through the car window into his eyes.
His grin gradually widened.
More than half an hour later...
The car arrived at the neighbourhood.
Rosa quickly got out of the car.
She turned her back to him and walked away.
Then she immediately left in a hurry.
Seeing her run away in a hurry, the man could not help but smirk. "Tonight's dinner was really great!"
When Rosa took out her key and was about to open the door...
Someone opened it from inside suddenly.
"Rosa, where have you been? Why are you back so late!" It was Grace who haven't been seen for a month.
"Grace, why are you here?" Rosa was stunned and hurried into the house.
Grace chuckled. "I've just came back from vacation for a few days!"
She said as she dragged her back to her room and pointed at the gifts on her bed. "Look what I've brought you!" Rosa was stunned as she looked at her bed that was filled with a variety of cosmetics and food.
"Grace, these are..."
"These are all my gifts for you!" Grace said and sat down.
Rosa looked at Grace instead of the gifts on her bed and her face was gloomy.
"Rosa, why are you upset?" Grace pouted unhappily. "You don't want to see me?"
Rosa frowned and said, "I want you to live a better life than anyone else, but what are you actually doing?"
Grace suddenly looked a little uncomfortable. "I didn't do anything illegal. I didn't steal anything. The money I got are all... clean!" "Grace, you know, I hope you're living well, but I don't want you to go astray!" Rosa hurriedly took her hand and said. They grew up together.
Their friendship was precious to her.
She had always hoped that she would lead a good life.
C
However, she was really afraid that Grace will go astray from chasing her goals.

"I know. I'll tell you the truh. I'm dating someone, someone rich. Don't worry, I'll introduce him to you when we're in a stable relationship."
"Really?"
"Of course, will I lie to you?" Grace chuckled. "Come on, see if you like the things I bought for you!"
Rosa quickly handed back the things to her. "Grace, I don't need them. Don't waste your money. You can take them back!"
"Ah, I have money. The cosmetics I use are much better than these. I know you don't like luxurious stuff, but these are normal priced. You don't need to feel pressured. I told you before that I will repay you when I make a fortune!"
Her phone started ringing as soon as she finished speaking.
Grace picked it up and was stunned.
She hurried to the window and pressed the answer button.
"Okay, I'll be right there!" Grace said in a gentle voice.
Then, she looked at Rosa and chuckled, "Rosa, I have something else to do, so I'll go first. I'll contact you another day!"
"It's so late already. Be careful when you go out!"
"I know. Don't worry!" After saying that, she left in a hurry.
Rosa looked down as she stood by the window.
There was a black car parked downstairs, but she couldn't see the number plate clearly.
Before long, Grace rushed downstairs and got into the black car with picking up her dress.
What was Grace actually doing?
Why did she feel so uneasy?
On the other side...
Grace rushed to the appointed place.
It was a six-star hotel.
As soon as Grace entered, she saw underwear laying on the bed.
She could hear someone showering in from the bathroom.
Grace smiled slightly. In an instant, she quickly changed into her small fox-shaped underwear.
The door opened at this moment.
The person who came out was a middle-aged man wrapped in a bath towel. He looked quite dignified, however, he had a beer belly.
Nevertheless, he looked quite noble.
"Honey..." Grace rushed up and hugged the man.
The man smirked, lifted her chin, and started kissing her passionately.
"Honey... don't be in such a rush..." Grace blushed and said shyly.
"What's wrong? You haven't seen me for a few days and you didn't miss me?"
"Yes, of course I missed you. Look, is it beautiful?" Grace twirled around, showing her attractive figure.
The man's eyes suddenly lit up. The next second, he threw her onto the bed...
After a while...
Grace lay in his arms and drew circle around his chest with her fingers.
"Dear, you haven't seen me for several days..." She pouted, sounding a little upset.
The man smiled slightly and hugged her shoulder tightly. "After tonight, we have to avoid suspicion for a period of time!"
Grace was stunned. She quickly stood up and looked at the man. Her eyes suddenly turned red. "What's wrong? You don't want me anymore..."
The man sat up straight and held her in his arms. "How can I not want you? You are pure, enchanting, obedient and playful, how could I not love you?"
The man lay on the bed and said, "Miranda seems to have some suspicion these days, so we need to avoid each other for a while!"
Grace was stunned. "Miranda found out about our relationship?"
"No, she must have noticed something was off about me, but she wouldn't have thought of you!"
Grace pouted. "What do you mean? Are you insulting me? What do you mean she wouldn't think of me?"
Grace was a little upset. Miranda looked down on her.
Did he look down on her as well?
"What? You're angry? Do you want to let her know that her friend seduced her father?"
Grace raised her head. "I... I didn't seduce you. Our... our meeting... was purely coincidental." She sounded a little flustered.
To be fair, it did happen coincidentally.
On that day at the swimwear party, she had been thoroughly humiliated by Henry.
After that, she felt ashamed and went to clean up at the bathroom.
But she realised that the bathroom at the pool was full.
So, she had no choice but to enter Miranda's bathroom.
Who would have expected her to bump into Miranda's father just like that?
At that moment, no one knew whether she did it on purpose or not.
She, who was in a panic, fell into his arms.
Just like that...
The two of them hooked up.
And because Miranda's mother happened to be abroad, the two fell in love.
"You also know that it was her mother who backed me up to this point. If her mother finds out, the consequences will be..."
Grace quickly replied, "I will be good and won't be discovered."
It wasn't easy for her to get such a rich man. How could she destroy his life?
"Yes, I know you are a good girl. That's right, aren't you friends with Miranda? You should ask her out when you have the time, see how much she knows. Anyhow, I don't want Miranda to be affected by this. I want her to grow up happily." Geoffrey Garcia said.
He could do whatever he wanted.
But Miranda was his only daughter.
He didn't want his daughter to suffer.
Grace secretly pouted, but she smiled and said, "Don't worry, Miranda and I are best friends. Naturally, I also want her to study well and live happily!"
"Alright, good girl!" After saying that, he took out a card from the bedside table and handed it to her. "I can't see you for a few days. There are 200,000 dollars in this. It's yours now."
Grace immediately took the card and gave Geoffrey a kiss on the cheek.
