Britney encouraged them to drink up some more and looked at her boyfriend, Matt. "You too!" she
spoke." You have to drink more, you hear that?"
Annoyance spiked in Matt’s heart but a smile was still plastered on his face. "Definitely, my dear! I'll
listen to whatever you ask me to," he responded.
After a while, everybody finally entered the lobby hall of the Lotus Bar and Lounge. The lobby was on
the first floor, and the atmosphere was lively. Fane and the others found a private room and sat inside.

This private room was separated from the outside with tempered glass in between. Whatever
happened outside the private room could be seen, but this could be resolved by pulling the curtain on
the tempered glass.
"Dear Sirs and Madams, if you'd like to use this private room, the minimum consumption will be 50
thousand bucks. The price in this menu is for your reference when you’re ordering snacks and alcohol!"
A lovely server approached the group, showing the group her most beautiful smile. “There's no time
limit, so you may have fun here until the sunrise!" the server continued.
"Fane, you don't think this is expensive, do you? Since there are a lot of us, a small private room can't
fit us all. Moreover, we really want to help to save some hard
-earned money of yours, so we've no choice but to pick a medium-sized private room.”
Carl said as he sat down and lying her leg over and across the other leg, an indifferent smile surfaced
on his face. 3
"I think it'd be so much better if we go to the opulent big private room. They got a top-notch soundproof
system there, and it's on the second floor too. You could watch everything from above like a king
overseeing his kingdom!"
"The best part there is a grand piano inside that big private room. Selena was an excellent pianist back
then, and she graduated from The Bachelor Fine Arts i n Dance! It’s been a long time since we've seen
her dancing and playing the piano!"
Rachel, on the other hand, whined unhappily about their room size.
"You're right. We’ve all graduated from the Fine Arts faculty. Unfortunately, I do think that the luxury big
private room is a little too much for us. Besides, I heard that the minimum consumption in that huge
room is a million!"
Rosa chimed in with her own opinion, smiling bitterly. "My current pay is around 10 thousand at most. I
can only go there once if I stopped drinking and eating and instead, work my butt off for 10 years."
Rosa then turned around, facing Carl and asked, "Oh right! How're you doing now, Carl?"
Carl offered a small smile and replied to Rosa in a pretentious humble manner, "How am I doing? Nah.
I'm doing so-so, just a shareholder of a tiny company. Annual income plus the bonus will be around 10
million bucks or so. I could only visit the big-sized private room in Lotus at most 10 times in a year.”
"My goodness! I never thought that you were this successful! You’re amazing!"
Rachel responded in a surprising tone, "There are so many employees in my hubby's factory, but the
net earning is also around 10 million.” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Rosa, with an envious expression over her feature, looked at Hugh and asked, "How about you, Hugh?
You were helping in your folks' hypermarket store, right?"
Hugh smiled abashedly. "Yup, the same old job," he meekly replied. "We used to have only three
stores, but now we've managed to expand to another seven stores. It's enough for house expenses, I'd
say."
Hugh was genuinely humble, not at all like Carl. Carl's humility was pretentious and intentional.
"Hehe... It seems like I’m doing the worst here!” Trevor gave a bitter smile and continued, "I haven't
attended my interview, so I'm kinda an unemployed person now."
"Hey, you just came back from oversea, right Trevor? It won't be hard for you to apply for an assistant
manager in the Drake family’s company. I heard that for this position, the monthly salary can be up to
20 to
30 thousand bucks!"
Britney responded, smiling. "Not to mention, your lovely girlfriend is the supervisor of that company and
can surely help. This job belongs to you!"
At the end of her speech, Britney cast her glance towards Selena and continued in a mocking tone,"
Well. You’ll never be as bad as someone who picks up trash for a living, will you Trevor?"
"Honey, I never thought that you know how to dance and play the piano. Let's go to the big private
room! I want to see you dancing and playing the piano!" Fane said to Selena excitedly, ignoring Britney
completely. 3
Everyone who was boasting confidently a moment ago went silent in a blink of an eye. Their jaws
dropped and their eyes widened into spheres as large as saucers.
