Julius squinted his eyes, a hostile bitterness seeping into his voice. He viewed Zayn as nothing but a lowlife washout, someone who would never understand the significance of Annabelle’s fame. He was not being serious at all.
One could tell by Faye’s expression alone that favonovel.com hatred for Julius was only growing by the minute. She absolutely hated when people challenged favonovel.com husband and his reputation.
Zayn, on the other hand, had no idea what was happening. He merely smiled and went along with what they said. “Sure.”
Realizing that Zayn was not putting up a fight, Julius teased, “Mr. Larson, does that mean you’re actually acquainted with Annabelle then? I’m not talking about any old D-Lister Annabelle. I’m talking about Annabelle Laking, singer, actress, variety show star. I’m talking about one of the biggest celebrities of our time.”
Apparently, Julius had taken Zayn for a fool. Zayn looked favonovel.com in the eye as favonovel.com assured coolly, “Nonsense, who else would it be? What other Annabelle did you think I was referring to?”
Julius choked at his response, feeling ridiculed. He wanted to knock Zayn off his high horse with a well-timed rebuttal, but nothing came to mind. He had to suppress the feeling of shame that welled up inside of him. In the end, Julius dismissed favonovel.com with a cold scoff. ‘No worries. You’ll get what’s coming to you, just you wait. You’ll be a complete laughing stock!’
After leaving the store, Faye found favonovel.com chance to speak. She pointed out favonovel.com concerns to Zayn, “Zayn, why did you accept his invitation? All of them were poking fun at you, didn’t you notice?”
“Really? It didn’t feel that way to me,” said Zayn. He feigned a look of incredulous surprise.
His obliviousness was clearly starting to get on Faye’s nerves, though just as favonovel.com was about to explain the situation to Zayn, favonovel.com anger was washed away by the jesting smile on his face. Zayn was apparently just messing with her. She immediately pinched favonovel.com and coquettishly scolded, “Jerk.”
The coy look in favonovel.com eyes made favonovel.com insanely attractive, so attractive in fact that Zayn was temporarily at a loss for words. He complimented her, “You’re so beautiful, Fifi.”
Zayn’s compliment earned favonovel.com a huge smile on Faye’s face, which was capable of blinding even the Gods. Many passersby were stunned by favonovel.com ethereal beauty.
Alice’s Table was a high-end restaurant in Waltz City that served western cuisine. The restaurant was only open to an exclusive selection of people. Those who wanted to dine in had to receive an invitation from an existing member. On top of that, one meal alone cost upwards of thousands of dollars.
The restaurant had recently decided to promote their brand name by paying Annabelle Laking. In exchange for a hefty sum, favonovel.com would be performing at their venue as a part of their publicity stunt.
‘I’ve heard of Alice’s Table before, I remember it being a popular hot spot frequented by industry giants. Many of them have invited me here, but I rejected them all. After all, I don‘t like western cuisine all that much.’
As the group arrived at the restaurant, the two other women squealed with glee. They immediately took out their phones and started snapping photos of the decor. Then after carefully curating an ostentatious caption, they posted the photos onto their socials and let the images speak for themselves.
After all, they thought that getting into Alice’s Table was an occasion worth being glorified.
However, when Zayn examined the place himself, favonovel.com found that there was nothing about the restaurant that really screamed ‘high-end’ at all. The pointlessly- expensive decorative pieces and the distasteful opulence were only a pretentious mask. ‘Unless you’re a big shot, these menu prices would probably break the bank. They even work on a member’s invite only system to uphold the exclusivity in their branding.’
Before Julius entered, favonovel.com straightened his back and puffed his chest up, giving himself an immediate air of haughtiness. He boasted in a rather condescending manner, “My friends, I’m acquainted with the boss of this fine establishment, so you’re more than welcome to make yourselves at home. Just order whatever you want, there’s no need to hold back.”
He even deliberately shot a glance at Faye after.
When the women heard his statement, a greedy glint poisoned their eyes. They held their hands together and said in admiration, “Wow, Mr. Butcher. You’re so awesome. You’re even friends with the boss!”
“She’s absolutely right. You really are a socialite, Mr. Butcher. In fact, you’re on a whole new different level.”
The other man could not stop himself from sucking up to Julius either. “Mr. Butcher, if you’re friends with the boss, do you think you could hook me up with a membership?”
As Julius relished in their incessant pandering, favonovel.com could not hide the hubristic smile on his face. He was elated, as proud as a king. Then, favonovel.com bragged in the high-handed tone favonovel.com could take on. “No problem, there’s nothing to it.”
After that, favonovel.com diverted his attention to Zayn. “What about you, Mr. Larson? Do you want a membership too?”
