Chapter 21
Oliver nodded and said, “So, how much is it? I’ll pay for it.”
The girl was stunned and asked in surprise, “What do you mean?”
“Didn’t my sister buy something from you? How much is it? As long as she likes it, I’ll pay. So, do you
prefer an online transfer or cash?” Oliver asked her in puzzlement.
The girl was dumbfounded. Suddenly, she stared at him with a fake smile.
Oliver fidgeted uneasily under her stare. He then stammered, “W-What did my sister buy from you?”
Without heeding her image, the girl stretched and replied, “I didn’t know if your sister has bought
anything, but I was introduced to a blind date by my ssmate, Joanna. My parents were afraid that I
was going to end up unmarriageable, and they heard from Joanna that her brother was kind and
handsome with a monthly ie of more than 20,000 dors. When my parents heard about such
good prospects, they insisted that I attend the blind date. Since you didn’t know about the blind date, it
would be great! I have never been interested to be in a rtionship: I’m here mainly because my
parents forced me to be here.”
Oliver didn’t know if he wanted tough or cry.
He knew that his sister was worried about him. However, Oliver had just started to make money.
Moreover, their father was ill. He couldn’t believe she still had the heart to arrange a blind date for him
with another youngdy.
If Oliver had to be honest, the girl before him was not an average beauty. She was most definitely top-
notch. Oliver couldn’t understand why her parents were worried about such a beautiful and outstanding
daughter.All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.
They even tried to force her to be in a rtionship through a blind date.
However, since she had made everything clear, Oliver got relieved. He shrugged and said with a smile,
“Okay, I don’t like blind dates either. Besides, my family’s situation isn’t great. My father is seriously ill
and is hospitalized. My parents are street vendors, so our family is not wealthy. If you know our
situation, you won’t bother to attend this blind date, which is the best. But I just got off work and am
hungry. Would you mind if I treat you to a meal?”
“Okay, I’m hungry too. Let’s split the bill and go back after eating,” agreed the girl.
After they were seated, they browsed through the menu.
Oliver called a waitress over. Thinking that he had never tried a fine dining restaurant and was not short
of money for a meal, he said generously, “Please rmend us the best dishes in your restaurant.”
At that, the waitress hurriedly rmended him the dishes, and Oliver just nodded.
Then, the waitress asked Oliver, “Sir, do you want some wine? We have some ssic red wines from
Friyx. Would you try?”
Oliver looked at the girl and asked, “Do you want wine?”
like to
She pondered for a moment and nodded. “Okay, let’s drink. I’m under great pressure at work, and I’m
always losing sleep these days. It’s good to drink some alcohol and rx. Let’s also split the wine bill
so that we aren’t giving each other the short end of the stick.”
She always mentioned splitting the bill, but Oliver didn’t say anything. He just smiled and told the
waitress, “Get us a bottle
then!”
The waitress left happily. In addition to their basic sries, their primary source of extra ie was
from red wine sales. “This customer seems to be very generous. All dishes ordered by him were
expensive. He didn’t even ask how much the red wine costs,” the waitress mused.
As soon as the waitress left, the girl looked at Oliver and asked, “What do you do for a living?”
“I work in a luxury second-hand upcycling store,” Oliver answered honestly, but he didn’t reveal his
ie. Although the girl was gorgeous, she clearly didn’t have the intention to be in a rtionship, nor
was she attracted to Oliver. She attended the blind date merely for her parents. So, Oliver felt no
pressure. Instead, he had the urge to indulge himself in getting drunk.
Oliver’s life was too miserable. He used to have no choice, but now he could make a lot of money with
his special abilities. However, the rich in the upper-ss society still looked down upon him. Therefore,
he felt upset.
Six or seven minutester, the dishes were served in rapid session. They ordered the king crab,
premium lobster, Archulea steak, and more.
The waitress brought over a bottle of red wine, but before opening it, she asked Oliver, “Sir, this is the
ssic Chateau Lafite we’ve just gotten in our store. Do you want to open it? It’s about 1,000 dors.”
“Yes please.”
Without further ado, Oliver, who wanted to indulge himself, asked the waitress to open the wine bottle.
The steak was indeed delicious when it was served with red wine. Oliver sipped the wine and said, “It
tastes decent. You should give it a try.”
The girl took a sip but frowned and said, “It tastes too weak, like a soda. My colleagues always drink
liquor at work gatherings. It has a stronger taste!”
Oliver immediately asked the waitress, “Is there any liquor?”
The waitress nodded and answered, “Yes, Brandy, Martin Codax…”
She said a string of names. However, Oliver had never drunk any of it. He only drank ordinary liquor,
such as UV Blue, Rum, or Smirnoff. Of course, what he had the most was beer.
“Get me a bottle of the strongest one.” Oliver didn’t know which kind of liquor was strong. Since the girl
said she wanted liquor, he just ordered something strong.
Although the girl was beautiful, she spoke boldly and straightforwardly.
The waitress smiled and served them a bottle of Brandy. Then, she opened it and poured one ss for
each of them.
The girl took the first sip and then nodded. “This is strong! It’s burning my throat.”
Oliver smiled. As he chewed on his food, he asked, “What do you do for a living?
The girl didn’t raise her head and replied, “What do you think?”
“A teacher? But you don’t look like one. A civil servant? Nah! You don’t look like one either,” replied
Oliver.
Oliver then pondered and continued, “I think you own a restaurant? You can really hold your alcohol,
given that you wanted a stronger drink. Your colleagues seem to favor liquor too.
After saying that, Oliver felt that his guess was wrong. Most restaurant owners could drink, but she
mentioned that her colleagues had liquor during work gatherings. If they worked in a restaurant, then
how did they have work gatherings?
“You are…” Oliver thought of one upation but hesitated for a moment before continuing, “Are you a
bar girl?”
“Ha! You…” The girl raised her brows and thought of something but she stopped after only being briefly
annoyed. Instead, she burst outughing and said, “Yes! You are so observant! You know that I’m a bar
girl! Impressive! Come on, Let’s have a
toast!”
Oliver clinked sses with her, took a sip of the liquor, and thought, “No wonder she loves drinking so
much!” He then came to the realization that it must have been hard to find a partner willing to ept
her job as a bar girl. It came as no surprise that her parents were so desperate for her to marry as well.
They drank while eating. Shortly after, the bottle of Brandy was emptied. So, they drank the red wine
instead.
Although the red wine tasted good, it had strong aftereffects. In addition, the pair had finished one
bottle of Brandy before finishing the wine, which made them both very drunk.
After Oliver shared a toast with the girl, he poured the wine into his ss but found the bottle empty. He
immediately called the waitress over and said, “Give us another bottle.”
Although the waitress wanted moremissions from sales, she hesitated when she saw that both of
them were so drunk they could fall over after finishing the Brandy and red wine. “If they drink more and
actually pass out, who would pay the bill? Besides, they don’t have other friends in attendance!” she
thought.
“Well… Sir, are you sure you can still drink?” asked the waitress.
With a drunken gaze, Oliver asked the girl, “Do you… want more to drink?”
“Yes! Whoever stops drinking will be a jerk!” The girl ced the liquor ss heavily on the table and
immediately fell backward on the couch and remained motionless.
