Everyone became tense. If no one felt like ordering all those dishes, did that mean they had to foot the bill?Truly, they were eager to taste the pleasure of a premium steak. However, if they had to spend a lot of money for it, they could suppress their desires. They could swallow back all the saliva that was coming out of their mouths at the thought of the delicious taste of a premium steak.However, in the midst of the turmoil in everyone's hearts, one word was spoken that sounded so melodious."Me."Claire reflexively covered her gaping mouth with her hand. She looked at Jack with teary eyes due to her mixed feelings.Jack had indeed given her a premium cheese steak, but it was only one serving. And now, there were tens or even hundreds of premium steak portions in front of her.'If this is true, what are you going to pay for this with, Jack?' Claire thought as she swallowed hard.In contrast to Claire who couldn't stop worrying, Eleanor and the rest of Claire's classmates were ve

As Mario Braxton gracefully entered the room, Jeremy couldn't help but stand up immediately to extend his warm greeting. Jessie, following suit, approached the manager as well, adding to the sense of importance that now filled the space.The scene drew curious glances from others in the room, captivated by the sight of Jeremy bowing respectfully before shaking hands with Mario. Despite Mario being several years his junior, Jeremy maintained an air of politeness and admiration, a reflection of the young man's remarkable career achievements.Observing the interaction, Eleanor couldn't help but comment, "Who is that young man? Jeremy seems unusually courteous towards him."Jack, in the know, responded with a knowing smile, "He's the manager of this restaurant."Another friend of Claire's chimed in with insight, "Ah, that explains it. Jeremy's demeanor is often influenced by a person's status, position, and power. If he perceives someone as weak or less privileged, his behavior tends to t

"Of course not, young master. I've come to my senses. I will no longer be bad to anyone no matter who I'm dealing with. I'm so sorry for all my foolishness. I'm even disgusted with myself for daring to be so arrogant. Whereas you who have everything remain humble and don't look down on anyone.""That's because you already know that Jack is young master Roodenburg." Eleanor chimed in. She was not willing to let Jeremy off the hook for all the wrong he had done. Jeremy deserved a very severe punishment so that the man would learn a valuable lesson. If he was let off without any meaningful punishment, Jeremy might repeat his mistakes to others.Meanwhile, seeing her lover begging for mercy in front of Jack Roodenburg, Jessie also thought that she needed to do the same to save herself. She certainly still remembered how she had bragged before Jack earlier. She had also praised Young Master Roodenburg without knowing that the man nearby was the young master."Young master, I also feel ver

Claire's heart skipped a beat at Jack's question. She quickly turned her face away to avoid the young master's gaze.Jack smiled when he saw his best friend close her eyes tightly. However, he didn't think to urge Claire to answer his question quickly. Jack let Claire fill the room with silence.Undoubtedly, Claire was having a major nervous attack. She did spend a lot of time with Jack, telling him everything, also without hesitation giving him a warm hug. However, it was all done under the status of 'friendship'.It can be said that there was nothing Claire kept secret from Jack, except for one thing, which was her feelings. She didn't know when she fell in love with Jack, but she didn't dare to hope to be his lover from the beginning.Everything was more than enough for Claire.So, when Claire was faced with a situation like this, she didn't know whether to prance for joy or do anything else.Meanwhile, Jack had been very patient waiting for Claire's answer. He had been waiting for

Claire bit her lip as she walked back and forth by the door. Every now and then she scrunched up her waist as she looked ahead, no one was coming."Claire, it's still morning. The morning air is very nice, right? So stop pacing there. You're blocking the fresh air from coming into the house." Uncle Bob continued reading the newspaper.Claire snorted in annoyance. "Dad, your daughter is worried, but you're worried about the air.""That's nothing new. You worry every day. It's still early in the morning. Who are you waiting for? You've been dressed up like you're going out since morning. Are you working overtime at King Pizza?"Claire didn't answer. She stood in the doorway with her hands tightly interlocked. Her eyes did not stop watching the road.However, a few seconds later, Claire ran into the house. She sat beside her father. She wrapped her hands around her father's arm while resting her head on his shoulder.Of course Uncle Bob was surprised. He turned his head to look at Claire
