Avery held his phone as Shane's words echoed in his mind.
"Rick, Shane said that letting Charlotte see Kendall is a good thing. Do you understand what he meant?" Avery sent Shane the address and put the phone back into his pants pocket.
"I don't know. Let's talk about it when we see him." Rick also did not understand what Shane meant.
With Shane's personality, he shouldn't think that Kendall and Charlotte had the potential to become friends, so what he said was...
Rick couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't think about it. After all, he knew Shane wouldn't say such a thing. Otherwise, Rick wouldn't have asked permission to bring Kendall.
Soon, Rick's driver parked the car in front of the Japanese restaurant. Avery looked around and saw a black Tesla. He smiled and said, "Look, it's Mr. Fuller's new car. He used millions of dollars to buy a bunch of batteries and scrap metal."
"That's an electric car." Rick shook his head helplessly.
"Isn't renewable energy just a bunch of batteries? In a few years, the money needed to change the batteries can be used to buy a car." Avery continued to tease relentlessly. In his opinion, buying a so- called renewable energy car was stupid.
Rick looked at him disapprovingly and frowned. "Renewable energy can reduce pollution, and degradable batteries are always better than releasing exhaust into the atmosphere."
"I never thought you were a tree-hugger. Whatever. Based on cost efficiency, I will never consider getting this kind of car."
"My brother said the same thing," Kendall said in a low voice.
"I'm going to buy a Tesla then."
Kendall widened her eyes and looked at Avery in disbelief. She huffed, "Hey! You're so mean!"
Avery shrugged his shoulders, looking pleased since he knew Kendall couldn't do anything to him. Kendall really couldn't do anything to him. Even if it was her own brother, he probably couldn't do anything to Avery either. Hence, she decided to remain silent.
She couldn't win her argument anyway.
After the three of them entered the Japanese restaurant, the waiter nodded immediately when he heard Shane's name. He led the way for them with great hospitality.
"I have a hunch that we probably won't be able to finish all the dishes that Mr. Fuller ordered." Avery looked at the enthusiastic waiter and thought back to a long time ago when he had eaten with Charlotte and Shane.
Actually, there was nothing special about the meal. Shane had simply ordered all the dishes on the menu. When Shane entered the restaurant, the waiter fell over himself in his haste to serve them. Once, when they went to a Michelin star restaurant, Shane booked the entire venue...
What could Avery say about that?
Before he met Shane, Avery had always thought that he was similar to Shane.
But now.
Wealth was just a word, but he felt as though he and Shane were worlds apart.
They followed the waiter all the way into the back of the building. Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the number of dishes on the table, "Mr. Fuller, you ordered the whole menu, didn't you?"
Some dishes weren't available, so we only have these." Charlotte raised a cup that was filled with a pink beverage and said, "Welcome, come and eat." Avery smiled and was the first to enter the room, followed by Rick and Kendall, and finally Rick's assistant.
Kendall felt a little uncomfortable. He was always deliberately the moment she entered the room. She was worried about Charlotte, but the other woman didn't pay her any attention. She didn't even look at Kendall. After drinking some wine, Charlotte's face became a little red.
Kendall stared at her for a while. Suddenly, they met each other's eyes, which startled Kendall.
Charlotte glanced at her and quickly withdrew her gaze. She took a chicken skewer, saying, "This one is delicious. I want some more."
Shane picked up the electronic menu and ordered two more portions of chicken skewers.
Rick also went over and ordered two bowls of soup and a salad. He didn't like to eat raw food, so every time he went to a Japanese restaurant, he would order some udon or something soupy like that. It was better for his digestion.
Several minutes later, someone knocked on the door.
"I'll get it." Avery stood up and opened the door.
Charlotte was looking at the steak in front of her. However, she suddenly screamed. She was so frightened that she threw the fork aside and raised her head in suspicion.
