Everyone visibly stiffened when they heard this, especially Britney. Her features immediately contorted.
"That’s different," Britney retorted, "and Dylan isn't obligated to treat us to dinner. He’s just generous.
Anyway, you said it yourself; it’s your first time meeting us. This and that are different! What now? Don’t tell me that you're scared because we want you t o treat us now?"
Quite a few people barely stifled their laughter. After Fane heard that they were going Dutch, he did say he wanted to treat them to dinner. Why did he not say anything earlier if he wanted to boast so badly? It was obvious that he wanted to pretend that he was rich, even though he had no intention of forking out money.
Unfortunately, everyone had a terrible impression of both Selena and her husband now, thus they mocked them without thinking twice anymore.
"All right then. This meal is on me. Let's go! Let's drink to our heart’s content!" Fane said after he gave it some thought.
"Let me warn you that this bar is pretty expensive.
The least you'll have to pay is 10 to 20 thousand bucks. I can't say how high the bill will go. A few hundred thousand or even more, perhaps! Also, the people who frequent this bar are mostly rich young men from
affluent families. Are you sure you want to treat us?" Britney said, grinning.
She assumed that Fane would be scared sh*tless after he heard this, and he would not have the confidence t o go in.
Yet Fane replied blithely, "Rich young men? I've seen plenty of them. Ken Clark, Michael Wilson, Neil Hugo, and the likes!"
Everyone took in a sharp intake of breath when they heard this. These three men were all young masters of aristocratic families.
