Phoebeâs expression changed. âWhat are you saying? Heâs my friend.â
Richard shook his head. Clearly, he did not accept it and insisted that Alex had to leave.
Cheryl grunted. âWhat kind of dilapidated place is this? Thereâs so many rules. We donât bother to be
here. Alex, Phoebe, letâs go somewhere else and have dinner.â
When Joel saw that they really turned around to leave, he immediately said, âRichard, donât be rude.
Since Phoebe has already said that heâs a friend, then heâs a friend. Apologize to our bodyguard
friend.â
In response to Joelâs request, Richard was very obedient. He immediately apologized to Alex. âI
apologize, Mr. Bodyguard. It turns out that youâre really Miss Larsenâs friend. Please forgive me for
being so blind to the fact. Why donât we go into the VIP room first? Young Master Quarters has
prepared a sumptuous dinner.â
âForget it I donât feel like dining in here suddenly. Letâs go somewhere else. Iâm not used to the food
served in this Blue Heavens Club!â Phoebe said coldly right away. Alex was her crush. How could she
be happy when Richard treated him like that?
âNo, Cousin! Iâm starving already. We donât know how long we are going to wait if we change to another
location!â Judy said immediately as she pulled Phoebe while acting cute and pretending to be pitiful.
In the end, Alex said, âSince weâre already here, letâs make do with the dinner!â
Such words made Richard infuriated. What did he mean by âletâs make do with the dinnerâ? The chefs
here were all scouted from the high price of Michelin. Each of them was master level and the yearly
salary was more than ten million dollars. âIâm afraid that insignificant people like you have even seen
those dishes before.â
Surprisingly, Phoebe nodded her head and said, âYouâre right. Anyone outside who cooks the dishes is
no match for you, the real chef.â
After that, Richard was utterly speechless.
On the other hand, Alex only agreed to dine here with Joel mainly because he heard from Judy
previously that Second Young Master Quarters and the Larsensâ patriarch had agreed on this marriage.
Now that Joel had made his appearance here and even asked Judy to be the mediator to treat Phoebe
to a meal, he should have some moves. Alex wanted to know Joelâs plans, so that he could handle
them with a targeted manner.
The dishes prepared by Joel were indeed sumptuous. The dishes on the entire table cost at least three
hundred thousand dollars. There were king crabs, big lobsters, three headed abalone and many more,
full on the table.
Indeed, Alex was hungry as well. He sat down straightaway without hesitation or even before Joelâs
greeting. He picked up the utensils and devoured the food as if nobody else was around. He looked like
he had not been eating for hundreds of years. Joel, Richard and his few other friendsâ faces turned pale
when they saw him.
On the contrary, Alex still enthusiastically took food for Cheryl and Phoebe and even helped them to
peel the shrimps.
âCome, this is nice, and this too. I didnât expect that the chefs here are half as good as me and thatâs
quite good already.â
âThis lamb shank tastes good too. Rockefeller brat, try it too!â Phoebe picked up the lamb shank and
shoved it into his mouth personally.
On the other side, Cheryl used her utensils to pick up a fresh oyster and feed it to Alex as well. âThis is
good for men. You should eat more!â
âLetâs eat! Letâs eat together! Eh, why arenât you guys eating?â
How could Joel and the others still have an appetite to eat? They were full from all the lovey-dovey
acts.
Fifteen minutes later, Alex touched his stomach and said, âIâm full already. Cheryl, Phoebe, are you full
yet? We should get going if weâre done eating. Oh, thanks for the meal, Mr. Quarters. Youâre such a
nice person for treating us to a meal, yet you didnât even eat anything yourself.â
âGood my *ss!â He just wanted to explode on the spot now.
âHold up!â
Joel took a deep breath. Then, he took out a cheque. After writing an amount on it with a swoosh, he
placed the cheque on the round turntable and spun it in front of Alex.
Alex looked at him. âWhat are you trying to imply, Mr. Quarters? Not only did you treat us to a meal, but
youâre even giving me an allowance?â
Joel replied, âIf you think itâs an allowance, then it is! Phoebe is a fiancé of mine, Joel Quarters, It must
be tough to protect my fiancé. Hereâs one million dollars as a token of appreciation. You can take the
money and leave. From now onwards, Iâll be responsible for my fiancéâs safety.â
