Five thousand dollars.
Five thousand dollars... wasn't a big deal.
He was more afraid that the kid would coerce him into spending more money during their there.
As Sheridan thought of this, he regretted his decision. He really shouldn't have pretended to be generous.
Now that he'd brought him here, he, as the adult, couldn't get the kid to leave.
Sheridan was feeling extremely depressed.
He entered the private room and looked on painfully as Beanie ordered food. He calculated the amount he'd be spending silently and comforted himself.
Never mind. What was five thousand dollars? It would cost way more to get a wife. What was more important was to win that woman over successfully.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSheridan beamed at the thought of them getting married in the future. He would set up a pasta shop, and he wouldn't need to wake up early for work anymore. Vera would be handling the chores, and they would live a peaceful life together.
Sheridan suddenly felt that the 5,000 dollars was totally worth spending.
After Beanie had finished ordering his food, he realized that Sheridan didn't seem like he was in distress. He even looked like he was daydreaming. Although he didn't quite understand his facial expressions, he doubted that he was thinking of anything good.
"Sir, what are you thinking about?" Sheridan was pulled back to reality when he heard Beanie make a sound. When he saw the boy sitting there staring at him with crystal clear eyes, he smiled again.
"I wasn't thinking about anything. You're done ordering? Is that enough?" Beanie smiled happily.
"That's enough. Thank you." "You're welcome." Beanie felt that Sheridan didn't seem to mind his spending at all. Who knew why he'd changed his attitude so quickly. He looked at his phone as it vibrated, and it turned out to be a message from his uncle. "Where are you?" Beanie's eyes twinkled when he saw this! Oh, Uncle Quill had finally decided to show up! He quickly exited Quill's chat box, opened Auntie Vera's chat box, and then shared his location to her.
By the tshe got here, they would bump into each other.
Moreover, once this blind date of Auntie Vera's met Quill, he would know to back down.
Beanie then returned to his uncle's chat box and asked him boisterously.
"Are you coming?" "Wasn't it you who'd askedto come?" "But you don't seem to be willing to cover? I better not tell you where I am." At this moment, a car stopped outside the hotel, with Quill in the back seat. He stared at the text message and pursed his lips unhappily. He massaged his temples, as his head hurt.
This little guy was trying to force him to admit that he'd wanted to come, wasn't he? He really was cheeky. Who'd taught him to be this way? Oh well, if the chips fell the way they were supposed to, he would have to admit it sooner or later.
He then started tapping on his screen to reply to the message.
"I wanted to come, okay?" "You said it yourself." "Givethe private room number." Beanie was satisfied with his answer. He got the private room number from the waiter, and sent it to Quill. After the waiter had gone out, Sheridan had a confused look on his face.
"Is there anyone else coming?" "Yeah. I've called my uncle over." Upon hearing this, Sheridan frowned and looked upset. He didn't want to get angry, but he couldn't suppress his temper. He asked in a strange tone, "What for? Wasn't I the one who was going to treat you to a meal?" "Yes, but I ordered way too much. We probably can't finish everything, so I asked my uncle to join us." Sheridan went quiet.
If there was another person here, would they order more food and spend all his money? He couldn't hold himself back anymore.
"Beanie, I said I would only treat you. Your uncle... can't come." Five thousand dollars was already too much for him to spend, and just for a woman. He hadn't even intended to spend any money, initially. He was only focused onwhat he could get out of it, and that's why he'd endured the pain of spending 5,000 dollars. He would not allow anything more than that.
"Sir, don't worry. My uncle is filthy rich, and he certainly won't spend your money. It'd be alright even if he paid instead." This did not make Sheridan happy.
Beanie made it sound like he was poor.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe did not answer, and his expression was getting uglier by the minute.
"Sir, are you and Auntie Vera a couple?" Beanie suddenly asked.
Sheridan was stunned by what he'd heard. He wanted to say yes, but he was afraid that the boy would call him out, just like how he'd done when he'd said that he owned the restaurant. He couldn't let this kid ruin his plans. Thus, he denied it.
"Not yet, but..." "That's good." Beanie put his hand over his heart, and looked like he was frightened. "It would be a difficult situation if you and Auntie Vera were a couple." "What do you mean?" Sheridan could sense that something was not right.
"Because Auntie Vera likes my uncle," Beanie said with a smile and an innocent look on his face.
Sheridan was speechless.
Did that woman have eyes for another man? Wasn't she single? What was this? "Beanie, do you mean that Vera and your uncle are a couple?"
"Well, not yet, but Auntie Vera and my uncle have liked each other for a long time. It shouldn't take long before they get together. Sir, how do you and Auntie Vera know each other? Why have you been helping out at the restaurant these few days? Are you a new employee hired by her?"
"No!" Sheridan suppressed his anger and denied it. "How could I be just an employee?" He should've been the boss employee his a*s. He was planning to play the good guy until he succeeded. Who would have thought that someone would cinto it and ruin his plans? "If you are not an employee, then who are you?" "I'm your Auntie Vera's blind date, a potential husband. Get it? You just said that she liked your uncle. Is that true?" When Beanie heard Sheridan say that he could be Vera's potential husband, he showed a shocked expression, and put his palms over his mouth. After a while, he put his hands down and stuck out his tongue.
"I'm sorry, sir. My mistake. Auntie Vera doesn't like my uncle at all. She didn't secretly kiss my uncle when she was drunk, and she didn't move into my uncle's house... Ah!" Before Beanie could finish his words, he quickly covered his mouth again! "What?!" Upon hearing this, Sheridan's face turned as dark as charcoal, and he frowned hard. Did that woman not have any self respect? D*mn it! What a shameless woman!
"Sir... I made a mistake. I was just talking nonsense." Beanie looked so regretful that he was about to cry. Sheridan was about to blow up. He was about to say something when a cold male voice interrupted his words. "Since you know you've said something wrong, you should apologize to him properly." X
