Haillie was taken aback; she looked at Ellinor, "So it's you, Ellinor! You've booked this place for three days next month; guess you're planning to invite everyone over again, huh?”
Ellinor nodded, "Yeah, it's on me."
Haillie scoffed, "Then I don't get it; if you're treating, why am I footing the bill? What's your game here?”
Ellinor kept her poker face, clearly seeing no issue here.
"Did you forget? Yesterday, you explicitly agreed that if I could prove that I didn't plant earrings in your shoe, you would cover everyone's daily expenses. So, is it that you don't want to foot the bill now, unwilling to admit your mistake?
"Eh..." Haillie was dumbstruck; she did forget about this!
But when she agreed to foot the bill, she only expected their group's daily expenses to be a few ten thousand at most.
Now, the bill came out to be 280k!
That's not chump change for anyone; she could use that money to buy a limited-edition designer bag!
"Ellinor, I did agree yesterday to cover everyone's daily expenses, but your booking for next month falls under next month's expenses; it shouldn't be counted in yesterday's bill, right?”
Instead of answering Haillie's question directly, Ellinor turned to the staff and asked, "Excuse me, could my booking from yesterday be counted in yesterday's expenses for settlement? Is there any problem with that?"
The staff respectfully replied, "Yes, your booking was made yesterday; the invoice and amount were recorded under yesterday's account, so it's reasonable to settle them together now; there's no problem."
The staff's answer made Haillie's face sour, but she said nothing.
