Abigail rolled her eyes. "Such a pain."
Leonardo asked, "What did you say?"
Abigail replied, "If you don't want to eat, please leave. Don't ruin our meal."
"Well, if you want me to leave, then I'll leave. Who wants to eat with you anyway?" Once Leonardo left, he started to regret his decision. Was he a fool to just leave because someone told him to?
With nowhere to go, he had no choice but to head to the smoking area.
"Leo?"
Hearing his name, Leonardo immediately turned around. What a day! Even Cameron Reese was at Rosenberg's restaurant.
"Is that really you? When did you start liking Rosenberg food?" Cameron approached him and asked, "Did you get a new girlfriend who's from Rosenberg?"
Leonardo was still upset. "What new girlfriend? I just took a wrong turn. What about you? Why are you here?"
Cameron lit a cigarette and said, "The boss of a project I'm working on is from Rosenberg. He likes strong flavors and doesn't fancy other high-end places. He prefers places like this."
"Cameron, this place isn't cheap," Leonardo retorted, feeling that Cameron's comment was somewhat discriminatory.
The minimum charge here was in the thousands, and many people couldn't afford it. Cameron's statement that this place was for the poor seemed quite prejudiced.
Cameron scoffed, "Who cares about the price? I'm talking about their taste. Even if Rosenberg people are rich, it doesn't change their taste."
