Chapter 83
Roxanne and Chloe were a bit tense sitting in a Rolls-Royce worth over ten million.
In their past two or three decades, they'd never seen a luxury car like this on the road, let alone sat in
one.
Chloe was cautious, afraid to touch anything inside the car, fearing she might break something.
On the other hand, Roxanne was relatively calm.
As Alexander said, a ten million dollar car was just a ride, nothing too special to fuss about.
Roxanne wasn't into these flashy cars, so she didn't bother with the luxurious interior.
She might be more interested in a practical electric car.
Chloe sneakily texted Roxanne, asking, “ Anne, do you think the restaurant Mr. Alexander is taking us
to will be expensive?”
Roxanne replied, “ I guess places Alexander frequents aren't probably going to be cheap.”
Chloe texted back, “ What should I do? I don't have enough money.”
Roxanne said, “ Don't worry, I'll cover the bill.”
Chloe retorted, “ No, we agreed I'm the one treating. How about you pay first, and I'll pay you back
later?”
Roxanne texted, “ Just chill, we'll deal with it.”
Alexander thought they were just being nervous, constantly checking their phones.
He had no idea Chloe was worried about not being able to afford the bill.
While they weren't looking, Alexander snapped a picture of Roxanne and sent it to Harrison, “ Your
wife's in my car. I'm taking her out for dinner.”
Harrison was attending a meeting in London.
He took a look at the photo Alexander sent him.
Roxanne, with her high ponytail, looked youthful and energetic.
She didn't look 28, more like a clean-cut college girl.
Having been with her for a month, Harrison had grown accustomed to seeing her every day, eating
commoners' food with her.
Being in London with servants around, he felt a bit out of sorts.
His mansion felt empty, especially after living in Roxanne's cramped rental for a month.
Harrison kept staring at the photo Alexander sent, gently sliding his thumb over Roxanne's fair cheek,
lost in thought.
Samuel, who was waiting for his opinion, knocked on the table, "Harrison, what are you looking at?
We're all waiting for you."
Harrison walked out of the meeting room with his phone, "Let's take a ten-minute break."
He stepped outside and texted Alexander, “ Don't let them pay the bill. You cover it, and I'll reimburse
you.”
Alexander replied, “ You make it sound like I can't afford to treat them.”
Harrison texted back, “Just don't let them pay.”
Alexander then said, “ Relax, I got this.”
The high-end private restaurant in the bustling CBD had a classy and quiet atmosphere.
The cars parked outside were all luxury vehicles, either Rolls-Royce, Bentley, or Maserati.
This place was a high-consumption area for the upper class.
When the car stopped, a handsome valet parked their car.
This kind of environment made Chloe a bit nervous.
Roxanne, understanding her anxiety, held her hand and whispered comforting words, "Don't worry, it's
just a place to eat. No matter how expensive it is, I've got your back. I have a credit limit of hundreds of
thousands of dollars, so chill."
After all, no matter how extravagant, a meal couldn't possibly cost hundreds of thousands of dollars,
right?
Even though they were from different social classes than Mr. Alexander, with a great gap in their
consumption capability, they needed to face it head-on since they were here.
Alexander led them in like a gentleman, saying, "My wife's inside. I'll introduce you to her."
Alexander's wife was Hazel, Nora's sister.
Knowing that Alexander was meeting Roxanne today, Hazel wanted to see for herself the woman who
had stolen her sister's man, so she joined them.
When they walked into the private room, Hazel kept staring at Roxanne.
Roxanne was a bit puzzled. Why was she staring at her?
Noticing her rudeness, Hazel apologized, "Sorry, I just thought I'd seen you somewhere before."
Roxanne took a good look at Hazel, puzzled, "I think you look like a girl I know."
The last time she crashed into a Bentley. The car owner was a gentlewoman, as elegant and
distinguished as Mr. Alexander's wife. They looked so much alike!
Hazel smiled, "Really?"
"Last time I hit her car, she was driving a Bentley," Roxanne said. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
Bentley?
Alexander and Hazel might already know who the Bentley owner she hit was.
Probably Nora, since Nora's car was a Bentley.
But what a coincidence!
Alexander hurriedly said, "Let's not stand around, sit down and order."
He handed the menu to Roxanne and Chloe.
Chloe flipped through the menu.
On the first page alone, each dish cost hundreds of dollars. She couldn't help but feel nervous.
Such high consumption?
Could they afford the bill later?
Seeing Chloe's worry, Alexander smiled and said, "This meal's on me. Order whatever you want."
Chloe insisted, "I said I'm treating. If it wasn't for your timely help yesterday, I might have ended up
being abused by my husband again. I should be thanking you. Mr. Alexander, when it's time to pay the
bill, don't you dare fight me for it."
Alexander said, "My sister abroad also experienced domestic violence, and seeing that situation
yesterday might have reminded me of her. That's why I felt a connection with you. So Ms. Mitchell,
don't stand on ceremony with me."
Hazel chimed in, "Ms. Mitchell, my husband is seriously against domestic violence. If he hadn't stepped
in to help yesterday, he wouldn't consider himself a real man."
Roxanne and Chloe both thought that the Alexanders were really awesome.
After they ordered, the food hit the table in no time.
Alexander kept serving Hazel her favorite dishes.
Hazel gave him a look, "Don't just keep serving me. Ask the ladies if they can handle the spicy food."
Chloe and Roxanne responded in unison, "We can handle it. We love spicy food."
Hazel said, "Then don't be shy."
During the meal, Hazel sent her sister Nora a WhatsApp message under the table.
She said, "Nora, I met Harrison's wife today. She's quite pretty, just a bit of a commoner."
Nora quickly replied, "Sis, how did you end up meeting Roxanne? Where are you guys? You're not
giving her a hard time, are you?"
Hazel replied, "Why are you talking like I'm some sort of cheapskate? Relax, I'm not going to give her a
hard time. I just wanted to tell you that since things have already happened, let go of Harrison as soon
as possible. Even though I think Roxanne's status isn't up to par with Harrison's, we still have to face
the facts."
Nora replied, "Sis, don't say that. Even though Roxanne's status is a bit common, people aren't divided
into high and low. If she caught Harrison's eye at first sight, leading him to decide to have a shotgun
wedding, she must have her merits. Please don't make things difficult for her; I also don't want Harrison
to think that the Dawson family is jealous."
