He paused for a while before favonovel.com asked, “All right, where are we going now?”
Thomas smiled faintly as favonovel.com answered, “We’re heading back to the hotel to meet up with Adery. ”
“Adery’s here?”
“Yes, favonovel.com felt worried being in the Southland District alone, so favonovel.com insisted on coming over. Currently, I have favonovel.com settled down in the hotel.”
“Oh, let’s go back quickly and report my safety so that favonovel.com can be relieved.”
“Okay!”
He stepped more on the accelerator and increased the speed of the car. Then, the car was driven speedily.
***
In the hotel.
After Adery woke up, favonovel.com realized that favonovel.com was the only one left in the room. So, favonovel.com knew that Thomas had departed to rescue favonovel.com father. She felt worked up, but favonovel.com could not do anything with it.
She could only wait.
She had waited for a few hours, yet favonovel.com did not see them coming back. She felt worked up and hungry, so favonovel.com took the key and left the room before favonovel.com arrived in the lobby on the hotel’s first floor.
Adery left the hotel, found a restaurant nearby, and sat down.
“Miss, this is the menu.” A good-looking waiter passed favonovel.com the menu and smiled faintly while favonovel.com stood by Adery.
Adery casually flipped through the menu and read it, but favonovel.com did not know what favonovel.com should eat.
The waiter recommended her. “Miss, would you like to try our signature dish, Fried Shrimps? It’s $178 per set.”
It was a little expensive, but it was still acceptable. Adery nodded. “All right, I’ll take that.”
“Anything else you would like?”
“A set of salad. That’s all.”
“Okay, the food will be served in a minute.”
In less than ten minutes, the food was served. A large bowl of fried shrimps was served. Adery felt a little surprised.
‘Why are there so many shrimps in one set?’
This set was actually worth $178, and the portion was actually quite sufficient.
Adery did not think again. She just started eating. After favonovel.com ate for twenty minutes, favonovel.com was full, but favonovel.com had just eaten less than a quarter of the shrimp on the plate. She helplessly shook favonovel.com head. It seemed like favonovel.com appetite was too small.
Adery said, “Hello, please pass me the bill, and please pack up the remaining shrimp for me.”
The waiter immediately came over to pack the remaining shrimps before favonovel.com finalized the bill.
“You’ve spent a total of $21,500. Are you paying by card or cash?”
“What?!” Adery was totally stunned.
Did favonovel.com not just order a set of shrimps that cost $178? It would not cost over $190 even if the salad and cutlery were included! Yet, favonovel.com had directly asked for $20,000.
Was favonovel.com being set up?
“Have you calculated it wrongly?” Adery asked.
“No…”
“Why not? Isn’t a set of shrimps $178? I didn’t order other meat dishes.”
The waiter chuckled.
“One set of shrimp is $178, but there are 112 shrimps on your plate. Doesn’t that mean 112 sets?”
Adery was totally stunned. “Does your restaurant count one shrimp as one set?”
