Odette was glancing at the menu when she threw him a glance, "You were dressed so feminine the last time, I thought you were gay. Not that there's anything wrong with being gay, I respect everyone's sexual orientation."
Ramsey was drinking water and almost choked.
"Ms. Farrar, you've got me all wrong. I'm straight."
"I don't like dressing too provocatively either."
"Alright then! Let's get to know each other again today." Ramsey said.
To help Violette figure out the mystery behind Ramsey, Odette shook his hand.
After ordering the food, they started chatting.
An hour later-
"I have a friend who got married all of a sudden. He has feelings for his wife, but he finds it hard to express them. Recently, his wife ran into some trouble and he asked me to help her." After a sip of red wine, Ramsey started blabbering, "The funniest thing is, his wife doesn't know I'm friends with her husband. When she first met me, she was really pissed. She thought it was inappropriate to meet a strange man so casually... Do you find this amusing?"
Odette was taken aback, "I also have a friend who suddenly told me she got married! But she wouldn't tell me who her husband is! She's been wanting to get a divorce, and I'm not sure if she'll be able to get out smoothly."
Ramsey, "The world is indeed vast, full of all sorts of things."
Odette, "Yeah! I definitely wouldn't rush into marriage."
Ramsey, "Same here."
At this point, Odette decided to probe to see if he really had 1.2 billion in his bank account.
"Do you use mobile payments or cards for shopping?" Odette asked casually.
"Mobile payments. They're really convenient these days."
"But aren't there transaction limits for mobile payments?"
Ramsey said: "I rarely buy anything too expensive. After all, I only graduated not too long ago, I don't want to spend too much of my parents' money."
Odette nodded, gathered her courage and asked directly, "So how much savings do you have?"
Ramsey didn't expect Odette would ask such a private question.
"Do you think I look poor?" Ramsey guessed and answered candidly, "I only have a few hundred thousand in my account."
Odette pursed her lips and shook her head out of politeness.
