Not A Small-Town Girl
Cloud Restaurant,
This exclusive restaurant in Soufield extended membership to an elite clientele, with fees starting at 3 million dollars.
"The man, with his sculpted features and sharp suit, sat at the dining table, legs crossed, patiently waiting for someone.
"A man dressed entirely in black, wearing sunglasses and a mask, approached, pulled up a chair, and sat down opposite the man.
"After removing his mask and sunglasses, he said something infuriating, "Is the Johnson family facing financial difficulties?"
"The man seemed surprised, glancing at him and asking, "You donât like this place?"
âIâm a very popular star. Why didnât you find a place with a private room? What happens if weâre photographed?" Xavier remarked arrogantly.
"Jaden initially thought a private room would be dull and preferred the ambiance of sitting outside. However, he was caught off guard by an immediate scolding upon his arrival. Xavier was surprisingly bold to lash out at him like that.
âNext time, letâs get a private room. You donât have to worry about ending up on the trending topics with me. And besides," Jadenâs lips curved into a teasing smile, "is having dinner with me really that scary?"
"Xavier waved his hand dismissively. "Of course, Iâm worried about you getting dragged into this mess! I just got off the trending topicsâif it werenât for that video proving everything, those trolls would be on my doorstep throwing rotten eggs right now."
"Jadenâs face instantly went cold. He suspected that the intern from the hospital had been badmouthing Xavier again. Immediately, he grabbed his phone and sent a message.
[Catch the intern at St. Katherineâs Hospital who slandered Xavier.]
"Xavierâs temper flared again when he realized Jaden was still glued to his phone and hadnât responded to anything heâd said.
"Are you eating or not? If not, Iâm leaving," said Xavier.
Jaden had just finished sending the message when he heard Xavierâs angry voice. He looked up and met Xavierâs glare.
"Whatâs wrong?" Jaden tried to soften his voice.
âWhatâs wrong? You wanted to have dinner, but now weâre here, and youâre just on your phone. Go ahead and keep playing, Iâm not hungry anymore." Xavier wasnât sure why he suddenly felt like yelling.
Jaden paused, eyebrows raised. Heâd just sent a message, and he wasnât constantly on his phone. Xavier was prone to making false accusations.
He explained, "I wasnât constantly on my phone. I just sent a message."
Jaden immediately waved to the restaurant manager and said, "Order whatever youâd like to eat."
"The manager respectfully presented the menu to Xavier, "Mr. Darling, please take a look at our menu."
Xavier didnât bother to listen to his sophistry. He was tempted to order excessively to bankrupt Jaden, but then realized it wouldnât work, no matter how much he ordered.
"To look good on camera, he usually restricted his eating, and his agent kept a close eye on him to make sure he didnât overeat.
"Xavier ordered, "Iâd like the Beef Wellington, Foie Gras au Caramel, Escargots à la Bourguignonne, Tomato Beef Soup, King Crab, Black Truffle Fries, and Caesar Salad, please. And for dessert, Iâll have these."
Xavierâs eyes shone as he eyed the menu, thinking he could be full this time. He was on vacation recently and seemed to have gained a few pounds.
âDo you want anything else?" Jaden noticed Xavier staring at the menu, practically drooling. He had quite the appetite.
