"Nevermind. Some people are too thick-faced, and we can't do anything about it! If she says that she has a 911 and yet she doesn't drive it here, what can we do? We can’t just go to her house to take a look at it, right?"
As a plan brewed on its own in her head, Britney then spoke with a disdainful grin, "All right then. How about this? Since it's a class reunion, why don’t we just go Dutch for today's bill? We’ll split expenses by counting heads. I believe that someone who drives a Porsche 911 would have no qualms about this?"
No one was dumb enough not to realize the implication of this; they knew Britney was stirring trouble with Selena on purpose. She was evidently not pleased, looking at her boyfriend's ex. Matt had even spoken up on her behalf earlier, and this only made a petty person like her even more vexed.
The bill here would definitely not be cheap and everyone would still need to fork out quite a bit of money even after they split it. It would be awkward for Selena and Fane if they did not have any money.
"Sure thing! I think this works out. Dylan is a factory manager, but it’s not easy for him to earn money too. W e can’t just take advantage of his generosity. Let's go Dutch!"
Hugh's girlfriend stepped forward and spoke, a small smile on her face.
Dylan and Rachel did not want to treat everyone in the first place, so they were happy when they heard this. The couple immediately agreed to the idea.
Since the majority agreed, including the fairly earning Rosa and the stylish bespectacled man who did not lack money, the others also agreed.
"So what now? Everyone has already agreed to it.
What about you two? It isn't cheap here. You better think twice! Still, even if we call for a vote, you'd have t o go along with the majority, so your vote doesn't matter!"
Here, Britney seemed even more arrogant.
"I’ll go along with whatever you decide, Honey!”
