"No worries."
Brittany shook her head, grabbed a menu from the staff, and pushed it in front of Isaac, "Order whatever you want, it's on me today!"
Isaac glanced at the menu, "Did you get your rent money?"
"How did you know?" Brittany looked surprised, then showed a number with her fingers, "Tripled."
Isaac knew, of course. The landlord ran off, the agency refused to take responsibility, and the police were still investigating. The money was exactly what he had covered.
"Well, I won't hold back then."
That's exactly what Brittany was waiting for. She patted her chest confidently, "Order whatever you want!"
She had tens of thousands in her pocket. She could splurge on this meal!
Although Isaac said he wouldn't hold back, he did show some restraint. He ordered three dishes he liked, then closed the menu and pushed it back to Brittany.
"Your turn."
Brittany had already looked at the menu and chose what she liked. She then kindly reminded the waiter, "Sorry, no cilantro in any of the dishes. My husband doesn't eat them."
"Sure."
The waiter was very polite and left.
Isaac looked surprised for a moment when he heard the term 'husband,' then a hint of hidden joy passed over his face.
Holding her juice, Brittany took a sip and hinted at the man sitting across her, "My studio is about to open."
She actually wanted to invite Isaac to the opening ceremony, but he had to work, and she couldn't bring herself to ask him.
"Do you want me to order some flowers for you?"
He had an important meeting tomorrow and it seemed like he couldn't get out of it. Brittany didn't get the response she wanted and felt a bit disappointed, but then she thought, he had to prioritize his work.
"That's not necessary, let's just consider this as an early celebration."
Isaac took off his jacket, stood up, and went to the restroom.
Brittany was texting Hannah, unaware of a voice from behind, "Brittany, how dare you show your face?"
Patrina stood not far away, followed by a few friends with various expressions.
Brittany put down her juice and smiled, "Is this restaurant yours?"
