"No."
"Sorry, I'm afraid you can't enter without a reservation."
"What's the deal with this place? It looks really good, but with that many rules, dining here is going to
be a problem," Carl said, not looking too happy.
Nicole produced a gold card from her pocket.
"Do you think we'll be able to enter with this?"
The service staff took the gold card and examined it.
Then, her eyes widened, and her attitude shifted as she looked at Nicole with what seemed to be
newfound humility and respect.
"Okay," the staff said.
Nicole turned Carl.
"We may enter now."
Carl smiled, happier and satisfied with the outcome.
Following the service staff, Nicole and Carl entered the clubhouse, and as they walked, Carl exclaimed
in amazement, "It is bigger that in looks on the outside."
In front of them was a spacious and brightly lit hall.
The walls, which were draped in gold, made the whole place look splendid, and there were four
passages, one on each side, with each leading to different areas.
"What do you have on the menu?"иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмCarl asked the service staff who was leading the
way.
"We have a ton of dishes.You'll see when you look at the menu," the staff said, unable to introduce
them all, as there were just too Many to name.
"Get us a room," Nicole ordered.
"One that is nice and comfortable.
"Sure, this way, please."
The service staff gestured, inviting them both to enter the one closest to them.
"I hope this room has what you're looking for."
Nicole walked in and looked around, before asking Carl, "What do you think?"
Carl scanned the place, not looking too satisfied.
"It could've been better."
In response, Nicole turned to the service staff.
"Are there any other rooms?"
"Yes, right this way, please," the staff replied.
The service staff then led them to another private lounge.
"Does this room better suit your needs?"
Nicole looked at Carl, who subsequently walked in to examine the place.
"It is not bad at all."
"Then here it is," Nicole said and turned to the service staff.
"Serve us the very best you have on the menu."
"Okay, I will get right on it.If you need anything else, you may ring the little bell on the table and one of
our staffs will come right over," the staff said, and sauntered off to prepare their meals.
Carl plonked himself on the couch, and switched the television on with a remote, while Nicole took a
seat beside him.
"Pick a sci-fi blockbuster," Nicole said.
"I'm not a fan of sci-fi.At this moment, I'm in the mood for some fantasy adventure," Carl said, fiddling
with the remote.
"I don't see the appeal.Hand me the remote."
Nicole reached out for the remote, who slapped her hand away, refusing to give it to her.
Nicole glared at him.
"Think you're a tough guy, aren't you?"
Carl reluctantly handed her the remote control.
"We're just watching a movie.Why do you always have to be so forceful?"
"Do I look like I give a damn?" she replied.
Carl rose to his feet and strutted off to the other side of the room, seemingly bored out of his mind.
A moment later, Nicole heard singing.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмFrowning, she looked over and murmured,
"What the hell? Is he singing, like for real?"
She placed the remote and walked over to Carl, who was crooning away with a microphone in hand
and his back turned to her.
Nicole picked the other one up and joined him in a duet, and soon, the duo began resuming with the
fun that they had left off the night before, filling the entire room with their voices.
Once they had concluded the final verse, Carl eyed Nicole.Aren't you supposed to be watching a
movie? Why did you come over?"
"What's it to you? I'll do as I wish," Nicole replied and proceeded with the next number on the list.
As the music cued in, Carl sang the first line before Nicole could even utter a word.
Nicole looked at him with her brows raised and her lips pursed.
Then, she took a deep breath, ready to seize the moment the second he paused to catch his breath,
and when he did, Nicole belted, drowning his voice out with hers.
Seeing this, Carl resigned himself to the notion that he would have no choice but to sit back and wait
for her to finish.
