Arthur was one of the most handsome boys in the school during his college years. He and the school beauty Julia Harrison were a handsome couple. But Arthur's family had no money, so Julia dumped him and hooked up with a rich man.

Seeing Arthur's expression change, Julia thought that her words had touched his heart, and she was even more contemptuous and disdainful. "Arthur, please don't embarrass yourself here. You don't come to this kind of restaurant if you don't have money to back it up."

The old man beside Julia turned his head and said a few words to Julia. After figuring out Arthur's identity, he narrowed his eyes and said. "Young man, don't worry. It is understandable that people make mistakes sometimes. I will pay for your meal this time as a big brother's gesture."

Arthur ignored him and looked at the waiter who looked hesitant. He slowed down his tone and said, "Well, since you are worried, I'll pay for the food first."

Arthur was a handsome guy. At this moment, he spoke to the waiter in a gentle voice, successfully making the waiter's face slightly blush.

"Young lady, I will pay for him." Before Arthur took out his bank card, the old man interrupted and said. He took out his bank card and casually asked about the total amount of Arthur's order: "How much is his bill?"

The waiter glanced at the ordered menu: "A total of fifty eight thousand and five hundred."

"How much?" The bank card in the old man's hand fell directly to the ground. He looked at Arthur in disbelief. He didn't expect that he actually ordered dishes worth over fifty thousand dollar.

Normally, when he and Julia came to this restaurant, they would spend at most twenty thousands dollar on food. He thought that a poor boy like Arthur would only be able to order food worth 1,000 dollar at most.

"Fifty-eight thousand five hundred." The waiter looked at the menu carefully and quoted the price confidently.

"What?..." The old man's face turned pale. He swiped his bank card on the machine and found that the balance on the card was only 50,000 dollar, which made him even more panicky.

All the customers in the restaurant were staring at their side curiously, wanting to see what would happen next.

The old man wanted to save face and swipe all the money from his other cards, but Julia felt distressed when she thought that the money was supposed to be spent on her. So she stood up and asked Arthur. "Why did you order so many dishes if you couldn't pay for them?"

As soon as Julia stood up, Arthur realized that she was wearing a miniskirt that couldn't be any shorter, with black stockings underneath, which made her legs look slender and seductive.

Moving his gaze to Julia's face, Arthur smiled but did not comment.

Seeing Arthur's smile, her heart was moved again. But she quickly came to her senses and began to rebuke him. "Are you trying to woo me back or what? I'm telling you, Arthur, I have nothing to do with you anymore. I've told you that you can't give me the life I want. Please don't try anything with me."

Thinking that Arthur had found a job as an ordinary programmer, Julia looked down on him even more. What was the point of being handsome without money? Could he compare to a boss who wws willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars on her every month?

Julia calmed herself down, ignored the slight regret in her heart, and continued to look at Arthur arrogantly.

Under the condemning gazes of Julia and the old man, Arthur stood up with a relaxed look: "When did I ever say that I wanted you to pay for me?"

As he spoke, he quickly walked to the waiter and swiped the bank card in his hand directly on the POS machine.

Looking at the platinum card, the waiter's mouth opened in surprise and did not close for a long time.

As for Julia, she just stood there in a daze. ...When did this poor boy Arthur become so rich?

Thinking about how Arthur had 100 dollar but had to spend 80 dollar on her when he was in college, Julia felt a rare surge of regret. She wanted to go forward and hold Arthur, but Arthur had already returned to his seat.

"Can you serve me the food now?" He smiled helplessly.

The waiter reacted and quickly ordered the kitchen to serve the food, and before long, plates of delicious food were flowing onto the table.

Just as he was about to devour his steak, he felt his phone vibrate twice.

Arthur unlocked his phone and found that the person who sent him the message was Williams. "Hey Arthur, boss said he would deduct from your salary for leaving work without his approval. You're on your own."

Just as Arthur was looking at his phone, the old man could no longer stay in the restaurant. He impatiently pulled Julia out of the restaurant.

When Arthur was replying to the message, he suddenly smelled a strong scent of perfume beside him. He raised his head and saw Julia's graceful back as she left. From his angle, he could even vaguely see Julia's panties under her short skirt.

He looked away, only to find that a small piece of paper on his table with a phone numbers written on it. There was also a smiling cat face pattern below, which was Julia’s favorite expression when she was in college.

Arthur stared at the note calmly for a while, then tore it into pieces and threw it into the trash can.

While eating his food, Arthur opened the Fortune Engine interface again and looked at other rewards curiously.

Seeing that there was a miniature building as a reward below, Arthur wanted to try to hook it with the hook, but when he pressed the space bar, a prompt popped up in the center of the screen.

[You can only use the hook once a day]

Arthur smiled bitterly. Of course, he understood that he had been given a great opportunity, and it was normal to have some limitations. So, he closed the interface and wanted to pack up the remaining food for a midnight snack.

When Arthur suggested taking the food away, the waitress stood there in shock. She had seen all kinds of customers, but this was the first time she saw someone asking for the leftovers to be packed as take-away orders.

Facing the waiter's incredulous gaze, Arthur spread his hands and said, "Even if you have money, you can't waste food."

After leaving the restaurant, Arthur had just crossed the road when he heard a cry for help from the front. "Help, help!""

Is that ok?""Of course, no problem, but..." Seeing Arthur's calm expression, Yvonne frowned a little stiffly, "They are all world-renowned brands.
