Mrs Blanchard rushes to Mateo and tries to hug him, but he holds up his finger rudely in her face. “Future mother-in-law, do you know how much my suit cost to be professionally pressed? I don't want to be creased, I won't hug you.” If it had been anyone else, the Blanchard family would have jumped to accuse them of being rude, but not Mateo. Mrs Blanchard smiles as she moves to the side. Dan comes and shakes Mateo's hand, holding the man's hand until Mateo shrugs him off. “I got your used clothes yesterday, sir. They fit me very well,” Dan chuckles. Mateo goes to sit down. Dan's wife greets him with a deep bow. She pulls his chair for him. Mateo sits down and everyone else sits back down. Wendy is seated next to her boyfriend, she takes out her mirror, she needs to make sure that her makeup is perfect. She is always worried about her appearance when she is with Mateo. She even sleeps with a full face of makeup and even sets an alarm so that she can retouch in the morning befor
Stacy pulls at his shirt and whispers to him. “What are you doing, Gray? It takes thirty thousand dollars to pay for a table there! We can't afford it!” “You are nuts.” Mateo snorts. “The twin towers restaurant can't give you a reservation, even if you can afford it!” Gray takes out his phone and makes a very quick call to Alice. “Yes, I need a table at the twin towers restaurant now. Call them immediately because I will be on my way in two minutes!” “It's done, sir.” Alice says, just after two seconds. Gray's phone vibrates, he has just been sent the confirmation message. Mateo scoffs. “Now, this is impossible!” “Stacy and I will be heading there to have dinner. You all can eat this cheap food, or you can come and join us.” Gray takes Stacy's hand and starts to walk away. Wendy can't believe what she has just experienced. Did Gray actually get the table? She holds on to Mateo's hand and pouts her mouth. “Honey, you told me that you will get me a reservation at the twin towe
Stacy is holding her breath, but when they get to the door and Gray gives his name, they confirm his reservation. “Welcome to the twin towers restaurant, Mister Gray. You paid for the biggest table, the table of ten. Enjoy your night.” Stacy gasps with surprise, he didn't lie to her at all. He really booked the table. When she steps into the restaurant, she feels as if her soul has left her body. It's the most beautiful place that she has never seen in her life. She tears up immediately. She would have never imagined that she would ever be able to enter somewhere like this. She turns around and hugs him very tightly. “Thank you! I can't believe that I am standing in this beautiful place! Thank you for bringing me here!” He hugs her back. “I would do anything for you, my beautiful wife. I can't ask for a better wife.” He pulls the chair for her to sit down. They look around them, only the richest people are sitting around them. Do you know how much connection it takes to get a
After they have all sat down, somehow, Gary and Stacy fade into the thin air, even though they were the ones who made the reservation. Mateo is laughing, legs spread out as he brags about things that might be true or not true. “You know, I was just speaking on the phone with the anonymous trillionaire,” Mateo brags. Mateo's old friend, who is called Gabriel, his jaw drops on the ground. “You are friends with the anonymous trillionaire?” “Yes!” Affirms Mateo. “I was the one who even gave him his business ideas. All he knows in his line is business, I was the one who taught him. When he reached the trillionaire mark, he called me and thanked me for making him who he is. He asked me to accept his gift of a large part of his business share, but I turn it down now. My father didn't raise me to take things after an act of goodness!” Stacy sighs under her breath and rolls her eyes. The waiters have come to bring in their food. The food here is very expensive, even a bottle of water is
Gray sighs. Since Stacy has become uncomfortable, he doesn't have any option, but he has to leave with her. Wendy is the first to notice that they are getting ready to leave the table? “And where are the two of you heading to?” She hiss. “Home.” Stacy heaves. “I have a headache and I have to go home to rest. Thank you for today.” Yes, Stacy is thanking them, even though it's Gray that made all of this happen. “Both of these are the most ungrateful things I have ever seen in my life!” Wendy hits her hands over the table. “My man spent so much effort to get this reservation and also invited you people, and you want to leave?!” Stacy's jaw tightens. She has never fought with her cousin, but she wants to jump on her right now. “Hi, can you say such nonsense, Wendy!” Stacy yells. “How dare you lie when you know that Gray was the one who made the reservation?” The attention of everyone has been turned to the table. Even Gabriel, the invited guest, looks surprised. He thought that Ma
Stacy wants to fall on her knees and beg with all of her heart. They are going to be arrested if they don't pay, she doesn't want to spend the night in a police station. “Oh, Stacy is going to sleep in the station!” Wendy mocks. “You are going to shiver with so much cold! And maybe you and your stupid husband will learn how to respect my man!” Just as Stacy is about to go down on her knees, Gray puts his hand under her arm, he won't allow her to kneel for these wicked people. Now, even Richard starts to feel bad for Stacy and Gray. He knows that Mateo has always been full of himself when they were in highschool, but he thought that he had grown up. “Come on, man, you are not actually going to get them arrested. I know you have the money, why can't you just pay for them?” Richard asks. “Oh, Richard, I won't expect you to understand the ways of the rich. When you have servants that misbehave, you have to teach them a lesson, or else it's going to get into their head. Listen and le
“I'm sorry, sir, but your card has been declined!” Everyone starts to murmur and Mateo's face turns red with both embarrassment and anger. Never in his life has his card declined! He jumps up and grabs the card from the manager and examines it very carefully. “Are you trying to insult me?” He murmurs. “My family is one of the richest in the country! How dare you say my card has been declined? This is a prestigious black card, it can never decline!” The manager keeps shut, even though he knows that he didn't make any errors. But he knows rich people and their pride very well, so he decides to be patient. “Forgive me, sir, I will attempt it again.” He smiles. The manager takes the card back and attempts the transaction again, but the dreadful beep comes again. Mateo is covered in sweat at this point. He mutters something about their machine being at fault. He snatches his card from the and brings out another card. “This one has over a million on it. It can't decline.” The mana
Now the police have to take them all away, and that's when everyone starts to go into full panic mode. Richard is regretting why he even stopped to greet Mateo, he even feels stupid for agreeing to have dinner with them. How he is going to be thrown into jail for a crime he didn't personally commit. “You all are under arrest, everything you say or do will be used against you in the court of law.” The police take out the cuffs. Stacy grabs Gray's hand, she is looking at the handcuffs as if they are guns. She doesn't want it to come close to her at all.“Wait!” Gray speaks for the first time in a very long time. He takes out a card from his pocket and hands it to the manager. “I am paying for myself, and just my wife.” Gray says. “Please, go forward with it.” The manager scoffs with hostility. “Mister man, you think that I have the time to joke around with you? Your friend here gave me two cards that didn't work, do you think I will believe that your card will work?” “It's wron
