Tanya looked at the dishes on the table and calculated, thinking that it wasn't expensive. It was just her one month's salary, which she could afford. Besides, they had already eaten quite a bit, and ordering more dishes wouldn't be too expensive. Spending a month's salary to please Kevin was a worthwhile investment. With this in mind, she quickly adopted a dignified and elegant smile, saying, "I was planning to treat tonight anyway. Enjoy your meal, and I'll take care of it tonight." "Great!" Lilith clapped her hands, then walked to the door and called the waiter. "Waiter! More dishes!" Tanya's face turned pale. "Lilith, what are you doing?" Lilith took the menu from the waiter, glanced at it, and said without looking up, "We need some beer for our guest of honor. I'll order some." Tanya secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was just a few bottles of beer; it shouldn't be too expensive. Her pre-set limit was two months' salary, and she still had room to order drinks. She stole a glance at the beer menu. The price of one bottle was one hundred. She could barely suppress her frustration. ‘So expensive?’ It wasn't the beer's fault; it was her fault for not limiting the quantity. Lilith glanced at her and asked, "Feeling the pinch?" "Not at all. I'm just concerned that beer can harm the body if you drink too much. How about this: we're a table of ten people, so each of us should have three bottles." However, no matter how you looked at it, she had exceeded her preset limit. She could only try to minimize the loss. "You know how to take care of people," the classmates said, agreeing to order three bottles for each person. Lilith waved her hand in approval. Ivy, who had been silent all this time, suddenly looked at Kevin with an ethereal smile and asked, "I remember you used to love ordering Chilean lobsters whenever you came here. You always wanted a four-pound one." Kevin was overjoyed. "You... You still remember?""It was Tanya who mentioned it before, saying she wanted to surprise you," Ivy continued, looking at Tanya with a mysterious smile. "Tanya, you should be prepared, right?" "I... Of course, I am!" Tanya said to the waiter, her voice trembling, “I called last month to make a reservation for the hotel to prepare lobster for me. How much does it cost?" The waiter, flustered by her outburst, explained, "I'm sorry, but we didn't receive your reservation information." Tanya's face changed color as her voice turned sharper, "How could there be no reservation? I called last month!" Inwardly, she prayed that the hotel didn't have the lobsters in stock; that way, she wouldn't have to spend unnecessary money. "I apologize; it seems we made a mistake and missed your order," the waiter said and immediately called the kitchen to confirm the lobster's availability. One minute later, he turned around and greeted Tanya with a smile. "I apologize once again. The kitchen just received a four-pound Chilean lobster via air freight about an hour ago, and it's ready for Mr. Kevin Alter." Tanya gulped and nervously asked, "How much does it cost?" "2000 per pound." "Boom!" Tanya's vision blurred for a moment, and she almost stumbled. She grabbed the armrest of the chair behind her to avoid falling in front of everyone, saving herself from embarrassment. The situation was already set, and she could only wave her hand weakly. "Fine, go ahead." “Is the portion for all of you?” “Yes... yes!” Tanya can’t uttered so many words. "Wow, we're getting treated to a meal by Miss Tanya, a classic rich and beautiful woman. Not even batting an eyelid at the expenses," the classmates praised Tanya generously, not realizing that her heart was bleeding. ‘At least 85.000 dollars for the meal, plus the service charge. I'm indeed a talent for managing to spend half a year's salary and bonus on one birthday dinner.’ Tanya cursed herself inwardly and resented Lilith and Ivy, the instigators. She shot a resentful look at both of them but could only accept the situation."Oh well, I've spent the money already. As long as I can get Kevin Alter drunk tonight, and then take him home for an excuse, by that time, nothing to worried..." With this in mind, Tanya reconciled with herself. She raised her glass and smiled at Kevin, saying, "Kevin, tonight, we won't leave until we're drunk." Kevin frowned, he didn't like women spending money on him. Looking at Tanya's charming demeanor, Kevin felt as though she had already thought of names for their future children, making him feel somewhat uncomfortable. He couldn't understand his classmates' teasing. What did they mean by getting him drunk? It was clear they wanted something to happen. But he had no interest in that. Why did the woman he liked not care for him, while the one he didn't like was acting as his lapdog? Kevin grew increasingly irritable and clinked his glass with Tanya. "Thank you for everything you've done." "As long as you're happy," Tanya replied in a voice so sweet it could make water drip. Her tone made Lilith shudder, and Lilith leaned in to Ivy, whispering, "Let's pretend to go to the bathroom and sneak away later." Ivy smiled and asked her, "You don't want to eat the lobster?" Lilith nodded in agreement. "I've had plenty of it before; I don't care for that stuff." "Okay." "But by the way, Kevin, I heard that your collaboration with H Capital was vetoed by your big brother again," Lilith brought up while the classmates were still chatting. This piqued Ivy's interest. Kevin was taken aback for a moment, then smiled helplessly. "Yeah, my big brother is quite stubborn. He has some misunderstandings with my father. So, I've been trying to contact him lately, hoping to meet and resolve the misunderstanding. But he keeps sending that frivolous lawyer—Jasson Brown, to brush me off. Now, I'm just anxious." "You really have to think of a way. H Capital is a well-established capital firm. There's a long line of people who want to collaborate with them in the city. If you keep delaying..."His friends began to chatter. "Cato Alter is truly not a good person! He thinks he's all that just because he has some money. Has he lost his sense of filial piety and righteousness?" "Exactly, right?" Kevin appears happy because his friends are speaking ill of Cato Alter. Listening to Kevin's words, Ivy couldn't help but feel that he and Tanya were a perfect match. ***
