As Caspian and Sylvie got comfortable, a male waiter emerged, confidently making his way towards them. Another female waiter came after him, carrying trays of delectable food that were placed before them in a precise manner. "Boss, anything else?" one of them asked. "Nothing," Caspian replied sharply. But then he reconsidered, his eyes lingering on the menu. "Wait, what brands of wines do you have?" he inquired, bringing the waiters to a halt. "We have the finest selection, sir," one of them boasted, listing off expensive and rare wines like trophies. "Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon (1992) - $500,000, Penfolds Grange Hermitage (1951) - $38,000 to $50,000, Chateau Margaux 1787 - $225,000, Cheval Blanc 1947 - $304,375, Chateau Lafite 1869 - $232,692..." Caspian's mind raced as he assessed the prices of each bottle, weighing his options before making his decision. "Bring us the Château Margaux," he declared confidently. The waiters nodded obediently. "Very good, sir. We will bring
Caspian's blood boiled as he read the words on the device screen. "Expired?" Muttering in disbelief, his voice carried a mixture of frustration and annoyance. Like angry wings, his long lashes fluttered against his flushed cheeks."What the hell?" Caspian cursed under his breath, clenching his fists in anger. He can't believe Kevin had the nerve to embarrass him like this. It was a big pain and it made Caspian seethe with fury.As if sensing his rage, Kevin and Henry burst into mocking laughter, revelling in Caspian's humiliation. Caspian's anger grew stronger as the sound of their authoritative voices filled the air."I told you earlier that he's just a lowly chef, how could he possibly afford $225,000 wine?" Kevin's tone was filled with disdain. He said, "What some millionaires can't even afford to buy?" The cashier blinked in confusion. But before she could speak, Kevin continued his attack, determined to prove that Caspian was nothing but a poor nobody."We thought he brought a
"You're skilled in thievery with a PhD."Kevin seethed with anger at Caspian's insult. He couldn't overlook this, it could tarnish his reputation. His bodyguards were caught off guard by his sudden change in response."I'll make sure they break your jaw for this," Kevin growled.Heartily, Caspian laughed, enjoying the situation. "Looks like I'm not the only thief here," he mocked.Kevin tried to restrain himself. He couldn't afford any rash actions with the police on their way. "When the police get here, you'll have to explain how you got that Diamond platinum card," he taunted, hoping to steer the conversation away from his involvement in the microchip cargo theft."Ha! You think you're so clever? I'll report to the police as well; so we can go down together," Caspian blurted.Suddenly, a voice whispered behind them, "Looks like Kevin Sentinel is involved in a theft." Kevin felt a jolt in their chest as they recognized their cover had been compromised and their plans were disintegr
With a slight delay, Caspian entered through the heavy glass door and was escorted to the front desk of the bustling lobby. His ownership of the card was backed by evidence, so he wasn't too concerned. He was guided to a well lit interrogation room where Detective Rodriguez sat in a revolving chair, hands brushing his jawline. "Please, have a seat," Rodriguez mumbled, gesturing vaguely towards a chair with his fingers. "Kevin has accused you of stealing a diamond that isn't yours." After taking a deep breath, Rodriguez gave out the conditions, "If you can provide proof that the card is yours - whether it be an official correspondence from the bank, your credit card statement, or any documentation related to its acquisition - then we can resolve this matter peacefully." Caspian's face remained calm and collected as he assured them, "No problem at all, sir." He took out his phone and swiftly looked up a PDF document about the card acquisition. Opening the file, he gave his phone t
Caspian casually opened his Mj Swarovski and Diamond Studded Notebook Computer next to his Apple Macbook Air Supreme laptop as he spoke with Diana on the phone. Diana nodded firmly, her brow furrowing in distress. "Caspian, I'm at a loss for what to do with my company. Hiring financial analysts hasn't stopped my company's revenue from declining for over a month. They haven't been able to provide any solution," her voice trembled with emotion.Caspian let out an empathetic sigh. "I see. What can I do to help?" But Diana continued to vent her frustration."Managing the company has become an unbearable burden," she confessed.Caspian's patience wore thin and he interrupted her. "Please, get to the point. I set aside time to speak with you and I don't appreciate it being wasted."Diana took a deep breath and tried to explain her concerns once again. "Before you agree to help me, please make sure you realize the seriousness of the situation—I know I might be wasting your time."Caspian w
Diana whispered, her voice filled with unease, commenting on the steep interest rate."Oh darling," she pleaded in sweet words, "please reduce it." With a chilly tone, Caspian said that he would not be persuaded by her charm and declined to reduce the interest rate.Diana's forehead creased with worry as she reminded Caspian, "You stopped talking about it. Why won't you consider my request?" Her frustration is evident as she continuously sighs."I already told you, I need this money for my daughter's trust fund. I won't gain anything from it," Caspian refused to be tempted by Diana's charming pleas."What if the loan takes too long? What will happen then?" He tried to maintain his stance on his claims.Diana's anger rose as she accused him, "Are you trying to trick me? Charging almost double is not helping.""Whatever," Caspian cut her off calmly."The bank would charge at least 15% interest. I'm not doubting that fact. But I, Caspian, am charging out of love for Mia," he retorted wi
"Ah, 50 percent?" Diana was shocked.Diana's voice boomed, her frustration evident. "You still want to keep half of the profits for yourself?" she exclaimed.Caspian interjected, trying to boast his better offer, "Well, I've changed my offer this time around. I'll only take fifteen percent, thirty will go towards Mia's trust fund, and the rest will be donated to charity." He spoke with a self-satisfied tone, analyzing his reactions."Why do you always bring Mia into this?" Diana questioned skeptically.Caspian defended himself, "And why won't? She deserves a share of my little wealth since she is my daughter."Diana raised an eyebrow and smirked, "Your 'little' wealth? That's highly doubtful."Her burning question finally spilled out, "Hmm. Just how much are you really worth, Caspian?"Caspian's expression turned cold as he replied sharply, "Why does it matter to you?"Diana's wrinkles deepened as she replied with mild anger, "I'm just....curious; I'd like to know.""Why ask?" Caspia
The lady's voice dripped with disdain as she sneered, "Did you just give me a fake card?" She wore a confused expression while grappling with the card's failure to function.Caspian remained calm and replied, "It's not fake.""I tried it three times and it didn't work," the lady said smugly, not believing his explanation.Growing frustrated with the situation, Caspian argued, "I got the card from this place. It should be valid.""Don't try to deceive me. I know you are not blind; it didn't work for the device," the lady smirked.Internally sighing in annoyance, Caspian tried to reason with her, "No, I have used it before for other transactions.""It must be a glitch," he stated firmly, trying to find a logical explanation."A glitch? This device has been working perfectly since morning. Why wouldn't it accept your diamond platinum card?" The lady's annoyance boiled over, filling the air with tension.Growing more agitated by the minute, Caspian suggested, "But there are other staff me
