Loreen was taken aback in astonishment and bewilderment.
She didn't expect Harold to be so well-connected in Aurous Hill. He was so much more reliable as
compared to Charlie. She contemplated that it would b e more convenient for her to get close to Harold for her daily routine. 2
The man in a black suit escorted the group respectful t 0 the door of the Diamond Suite. He took out a bill, handed it to Charlie directly, and said softly, "Sir, please sign here." 1
The Diamond Suite was specially reserved for Charlie and his signature was needed for confirmation.
Charlie smiled and took the pen and paper, but before he could sign his name, Harold's loud shriek echoed. 1
"D*mn it! Put the pen down!"
Harold marched forward with a gloomy face. He snatched the pen and paper from Charlie’s hands, signed his name quickly, and yelled at Charlie, "You shameless rat! Do you really have no f*cking idea who reserved the room? Who do you think you are to sign your name here!" 2
The man in black was taken aback by Harold's abrupt and rude interference. He looked at Charlie and gave him a questioning look as if to ask him if he needed
help to teach the b*stard a lesson right there.
Charlie shook his head lightly. "Never mind, let him sign it if he wants to sign it so badly."
Charlie didn't want to turn the situation awkward in front of Loreen-she was his wife's best friend, after all. 1
Then, they entered the room and everyone took a seat.
Harold ushered Loreen to sit in the main position of the table, while Charlie sat alone in the corner. Loreen was the only one who spoke to him from time to time. 1
Soon, exquisite dishes and wine were presented by the waiters one course at a time.
All the dishes used very fine and luxurious quality ingredients. Even the top-quality abalone and the Australian lobster could only be served as side dishes. 2
Even the wine was a century-old fine wine worth one hundred thousand dollars a bottle. 1
Coming from a wealthy family, Loreen was shocked b y the extravagant spread of the meal.
Gerald said with an envious sigh, "Harold, how much i s your budget for the meal?"
