The Boss Here Is a Miser
It was the first time the waiter encountered such an order, so he was dumbfounded. “Sir, we have many
items on the menu, and all of you can’t even finish it if we serve one portion each. If you want ten of each
—”
“That’s none of your business!” Norman barked while glaring at him. “I can pack it for takeaway if I can’t
finish it, right?”
Paula chuckled. “That’s right. We can take them away if we can’t finish it. We don’t need to pay for it,
anyway. Go now and get all the food ready for us!”
As everyone roared in laughter, the waiter merely stood there awkwardly. Since he had never
experienced such a situation, he had no idea how to deal with it at all.
Then, Matthew spoke up. “Uncle Norman, I’m afraid this is not possible. The bill can be waived with the
Supreme Card on the premise that there’s no wastage and no takeaway is allowed. If we can’t finish the
food to a certain amount, we’ll be charged double for it.”
These were the conditions he had come up with at the last moment after he learned of Norman and
Paula’s personalities. If there were really no charges involved, they might actually empty out the entire
building.
Norman froze for a second. “There’s such a condition? What a sh*tty condition!”
“Exactly!” Paula agreed in a huff. “It sounded so generous when it was first mentioned that the bill can be
waived, but in the end, such a condition comes along with it. What a bluff! The boss here is such a
miser!”
Sasha opened her mouth and wanted to argue with her, but Matthew stopped her because she would
only get snubbed if she started an argument with her. However, with this condition, Norman became
more sensible with the order. Still, he only ordered the priciest items with the menu in his hands.
Unfortunately for them, they weren’t in time for the ten portions of Golden Rice as the famous chef had
already returned to his home country.
After the way Norman and Paula placed the order as they liked, Matthew took a glance at the order and
reckoned that the food would cost more than three hundred thousand. These people are really going to
stuff their faces full tonight!
However, that was not the end yet. When they were ordering drinks, Norman straight away asked for the
1982 Chateau Lafite Rothschild, but Minerva stopped him. “Uncle Norman, forget that Lafite. There’s
Cheval Blanc in this place, and that’s what we’re ordering!”
Confused, he asked, “How much does that cost? This Lafite costs at least tens of thousands a bottle.”
She giggled before she answered, “This restaurant has a batch of superior Cheval Blanc, and each
bottle costs thirty thousand.”
“Are you serious? There’s no way it’s so expensive!” he exclaimed in shock.
“Of course I’m serious. The owner of the place personally purchased that Cheval Blanc, and as a
wealthy man with a net worth of more than a hundred billion, do you think he would settle for some
cheap wine?”
Instantly, Norman was intrigued. “Then… Then let’s have that Cheval Blanc. More importantly, your
Uncle Hector has never tried it before.”
Speechless, Sasha thought, Just admit it if you want it for yourself and cut the pretense.
In the end, the waiter returned with four boxes of Cheval Blanc, and the Freemans rushed up to
scrutinize it. Finally, they came to the conclusion that it wasn’t any cheap wine, so they each took a bottle
in their hands as they took pictures with it and posted it on their social media. After making a fuss over it
for a while, they finally opened a bottle to enjoy the rich, flavorful wine.
As for Minerva, she already had her eyes on the leftover wine. Knowing that these people in the room
wouldn’t be able to finish all four boxes, she planned to bring some bottles with her and make a killing by
selling it outside.
Soon, their food arrived, and all of them started eating greedily. While eating, they exclaimed in delight
and complimented the tasty food, saying that they had never tasted anything so delicious. That was
especially true for Norman and Paula, who kept stuffing their faces with food, terrified that someone else
would be quicker than themselves. Of course, they didn’t forget the wine; they began drinking
aggressively while they ate. After all, just a sip would cost more than ten thousand, so they really didn’t
want to lose out.
