Mia was surprised by the waiter’s unexpected courtesy toward her, considering Jeremy was the one
treating them.
ncing at the waiter, she stated, “I don’t need anything else, thank you.”
With that, the waiter departed the private room without acknowledging Jeremy nearby.
Ramona quicklymented, “What kind of service is that? Such arrogance! Does he assume Mia is
treating us today?”
Her remarks were met withughter from several ssmates.
To salvage the situation, Jeremy quickly interjected, “The waiter is just being polite. I’ve been to this
restaurant several times, and I simply wanted everyone to order what they preferred.
“However, when ites to settling the bill, it’s on me.”
“Jeremy, you’re just as charming and handsome as ever, nothing has changed,”
Upon hearing Ramonapliment Jeremy and flirt with him on purpose, Mia’s appetite immediately
diminished.
She nced at Gina and Taylor seated beside her; they seemed to be engrossed in conversation.
Silently, Mia poured herself a ss of lemon water.
Even though she was somewhat put off by Ramona and Jeremy’s demeanor at the table, her sole
purpose foring was to try to set up Gina with Taylor.

Before long, the waiter arrived with the dishes.
Soon, the table was filled with food, noticeably more than what they had originally ordered.
Jeremy was the first to notice something was amiss. “I don’t believe we ordered this much,” he
remarked.
ncing at Mia, the waiter announced, “These dishes arepliments from the restaurant owner, Mr.
Irwin Russ. He hopes you all enjoy your meal and have a wonderful time.”
As the waiter left, Jeremy found himself puzzled.
In reality, he rarely interacted with Irwin, as they operated in entirely different social circles.
Even if Jeremy wanted to impress him, he simply didn’t have the means to do so.
Ramona closely observed the dishes on the table and eximed, “Jeremy, aren’t these dishes from the
exclusive VIP menu? How did they end up here? Only VIP guests can order them!”
Everyone had presumed these dishes wouldn’t be served following Mia’s embarrassing mishap just
now.
Yet, much to their surprise, all of them were brought to the table.
Jolene promptly added, “This must be due to Jeremy’s influence, right? Who else here could have that
kind of clout?‘
Ramona nodded with a smile. “Exactly! Jeremy, you sly dog, keeping this all to yourself? I even tried
persuading my parents for the membership card to this ce, but they wouldn’t budge.

“And here you are, concealing your VIP status like it’s no big deal.
Suddenly, the entire room wasvishing Jeremy with praise.
Jeremy’s expression became slightly ufortable. After all, he was just an ordinary patron. He
couldn’t have possibly ordered dishes from the VIP menu.
He struggled toprehend why there were suddenly so many exclusive dishes on the table. Was it a
mistake?
Despite his confusion, Jeremy didn’t want to risk embarrassment by denying it.
Suddenly, Mia’s phone puzzed. She retrieved it and saw a message from ude. “How’s the food
today? I’ve already spoken to Mr. Russ, so you can expect top–notch treatment!”
Upon reading the message, Mia finally understood why the waiter had treated her so courteously
earlier.
It turned out that ude had spoken to Irwin.
Mia responded with an emoji, “Thanks, ude.”
Leaning in, Gina whispered, “So it’s because of your brother, right? Why didn’t you mention it? Can’t
you
see how everyone is ttering Jeremy?”
As Mia ced her phone down, she overheard Ramona showering Jeremy withpliments.
Everyone seemed to believe that the extra dishes were brought out due to Jeremy’s influence.
However, Mia didn’t feelpelled to disclose the truth.
In a subdued voice, she remarked, “It’s unnecessary. Besides, there won’t be another asion like
this.”
“Exactly, there’s no point in staying in touch with these individuals. It’s not worth it,” Gina agreed.
Mia shed a grin at Gina and asked, “Anyway, what are your thoughts on Taylor?”
