The others laughed so hard that they fell backwards. They even told Briar dirty jokes one after another, making fun of him. In the end, Briar and Callum became a couple…
When Aurelia and the others arrived at the fifth floor of Alioth, Jim was already waiting. He saw Aurelia coming down from the elevator and came over with the manager, saying respectfully, “Mrs. Finnegan, you are here.”
Aurelia didn’t expect Jim to come here in person. Hearing his address, she felt a little embarrassed and nodded slightly. “Hello, Jim.” Then she turned around and introduced her friends behind her, “This is Callum’s assistant, Jim Cowper.”
After exchanging pleasantries, Jim and the manager took Aurelia and the others to a private room that had been arranged in advance.
In the private room, Jim and the waiter personally brought the dishes to the table. Callum’s personal assistant personally served them the dishes, which made them feel embarrassed. Aurelia took the seafood platter from Jim and said, “Jim, stop busying yourself and sit down to eat with us.”
“Thank you, Mrs. Finnegan, but I can’t. I have to go back to the office later.” Jim politely declined.
Aurelia was not good at socializing, and she didn’t know what to say for a moment, so she could only nod and say, “Okay, then I won’t keep you and let you get on. These are all my good friends. We can just take care of ourselves.”
“Yes, we are all easy to talk to. Mr. Cowper, don’t worry about us!” Liana had never been to such a high-end place. She felt very flattered while enjoying the super enthusiastic service of the waiter, Jim and the manager.
Briar was of course used to this kind of service, so he automatically ignored their service. Instead, he looked at Aurelia thoughtfully and spoke up, “Sheridan Buddy, can you ask your husband to get me a VIP card here in exchange for my buying your husband’s underwear?”
Aurelia gave him a sidelong glance and asked, “Why do you want it? I haven’t even got one yet!”
In fact, she said this literally, without thinking much. But Jim heard it, and paused, thinking that this matter needed to be explained. “Mrs. Finnegan, Mr. Finnegan has already instructed that you don’t need a VIP card to come here in the future. You can come anytime and anytime in Mr. Finnegan’s private room, and you don’t need to pay the bill after the meal. As for the VIP card, you can give it to whoever you want.”
Hearing Jim’s words, the other people were stunned and envious.
Cathy swallowed her saliva before saying, “Sheridan Buddy, I’m so jealous of you! Mr. Finnegan treats you so well. Ah, Aurelia, can I come to your house tonight? I can warm your bed!”
Her words caused everyone to laugh. Aurelia blocked her mouth with a piece of exquisitely crafted dessert and replied, “Alright, the food is getting cold! I’m going to start eating.”
After her reminder, everyone took out their mobile phones to take pictures of the delicious dishes before digging in.
Aurelia thought for a moment and asked Jim softly, “Can all of my friends have VIP cards here?” Since Briar asked, she would try. But she couldn’t just give it to Briar, the others had to be included as well.
Jim smiled, “Sure, Mrs. Finnegan. I’ll do it right away.”
Larry was sitting next to Aurelia, and when he heard what they said, he quickly put down his fork. “Sheridan Buddy, you don’t have to get a card for me. I don’t usually come to places like this, so it’s useless to ask for it.”
Liana nodded and echoed, “Yes, Aurelia, you can just give it to them. Later, whenever you remember, just take us out for a meal!”
Aurelia hesitated and said, “It’s okay. Everyone has it.” At most, she could find a way to pay Callum for the cards later. She should seize the opportunity to apply for the card first.
Seeing that she was serious, Briar couldn’t wait to explain, “Sheridan Buddy, don’t take it seriously. I was just joking with you. Next time you can book a private room, then the card won’t be needed.”
In the end, everyone nodded. This time, everyone had the same idea. Callum was just Aurelia’s husband. He had nothing to do with them, so why should he give them a VIP card? It would be enough if Aurelia took them here!
Aurelia nodded helplessly and uttered, “Okay, if we…” What she wanted to say was that if she and Callum didn’t divorce, she would treat them to a meal here often, but she didn’t want to say such things in front of Jim now.
The dishes were quickly served. For five people, there were ten dishes, one soup, three desserts, two main dishes, a fruit platter, and a bottle of high-end red wine.
Not only did the four of them post updates, even Aurelia couldn’t help but take a few photos and post an update. “Good food, good wine, good friends, and happiness.”
Halfway through the meal, just as Cathy, who loved to talk dirty, was pestering Aurelia to ask her about the private issues between her and Callum. The door of the private room was pushed open. Cathy didn’t have time to take back her last few words. “You should straddle Mr. Finnegan. He’s such a virile man. What are you still hesitating about…”
Everyone fell silent abruptly because of the man who suddenly appeared at the door. Aurelia, who had been indifferent at first, couldn’t help but blush when she thought of Cathy’s words.
The next moment, everyone stood up. Liana was so frightened that she almost kicked over the chair, because she was afraid of Callum.
Aurelia licked her lips sheepishly and stammered, “Why… why are you here?”
How embarrassing! She hoped he didn’t hear what Cathy said.
Callum strode in and stopped in front of her. “Just passing by.”
Jim, who followed in, couldn’t help but complain in his heart. Callum canceled a meeting and came here specially, but he lied he was just passing by.
The waiter immediately placed a chair next to Aurelia’s, served the tableware as soon as possible, and poured red wine and coffee at the same time.
After Callum sat down first, he glanced at the trembling people and said in a cold voice, “Sit down.”
Several people sat down obediently. Briar looked at Callum’s face and his expression became strange when he thought about how he had just been tricked by Aurelia into buying underwear for Callum.
As everyone was quiet and reserved, a few waiters came in, removed the plates of food that they were almost finishing, and served a few new dishes.
When Jim was about to serve the food to Callum, he was stopped by Callum. The man wiped his hands elegantly with a warm wet towel while fixing his eyes on Aurelia’s face. He signaled her with his eyes to feed him.
Aurelia suppressed the urge to roll her eyes.
Could she refuse?
Everyone was watching Callum’s every move. Aurelia understood what he meant, and so could the other people. For a moment, everyone was looking at Aurelia with great excitement.
Aurelia took a deep breath. Wasn’t it just sending food to his mouth? What was the big deal?
