Connor couldn’t help but smile when he saw the troubled expression on Shane’s face.

He knew that Shane was suffering because he wanted to save his reputation. He would be struck by lightning sooner or later if he tried to act cool!

Shane looked at the menu in his hand and frowned. His expression was also very ugly.

This meal had already cost him nearly 200,000 dollars, and now Sandra wanted to drink red wine again. If it were ordinary red wine, Shane wouldn’t have said anything. After all, a bottle of ordinary red wine cost about 100 dollars.

However, the red wine in Lume cost forty to fifty thousand dollars!

To get in bed with Qahira earlier, Shane had put in a lot of effort this time. If he ordered a few more bottles of red wine, it would be as good as taking Shane’s life.

However, if he didn’t speak properly, Sandra would feel he was not good enough. Then, all of Shane’s previous efforts would be in vain. That was why Shane was in such a tight situation.

Connor looked at Shane playfully. He wanted to see how Shane would get out of this situation!

“Shane, what are you doing? Hurry and order some wine.”

Qahira rolled her eyes at Shane when she saw him holding the menu silently.

“Uhm… you only have this red wine here, right?”

Shane hesitated. He wanted to ask the waiter if there was any cheaper red wine.

“Sir, our restaurant also has some good wines. You can also choose from our wine warehouse if you think the wine on the menu is not good enough. The wine in there is all aged wine, but the price is slightly higher!”

The waitress clearly didn’t understand what Shane meant. She felt that since Shane and the others could come to the VIP room to eat, they naturally had money.

“Your restaurant has a wine cellar? Shane, let’s go over and take a look!”

After Sandra heard what the waitress said, she instantly became interested and said to Shane.

Shane turned to look at Sandra, and his brows began to furrow. He couldn’t even afford the wine on the menu, let alone the wine in the warehouse.

If he went to the wine cellar, he might go bankrupt.

“Shane, let’s go to the wine cellar and look!” Sandra pulled Shane and said proudly.

Shane hesitated and said in a low voice, “Hey, 1 don’t have that much money on me right now. At most, 1 can treat you to a meal. If you really want to order wine at the wine cellar, you have to pay for the wine yourself…”

When Sandra heard Shane’s words, she was instantly stunned.

Shane had also thought it through. If he continued to pretend like this with Sandra, it would be a bit of a loss, so he might as well lay his cards on the table with Sandra.

“Shane, what do you mean?” Sandra shouted at Shane angrily.

“That’s right, Shane. What’s wrong with my mom wanting a bottle of red wine? How much can it cost you?” Qahira added.

“Qahira, 1 don’t have that much money with me today. I’m worried we won’t have enough money to pay the bill later if we order wine,” Shane replied helplessly.

“You don’t have so much money with you. Don’t you know how to use a bank card? Today is the first time you’re meeting my mom. You won’t even buy her the red wine she wants?” Qahira shouted at Shane like a shrew.

Qahira was not upset because Sandra wanted to drink. She just wanted to show off in front of Freya, Sean, and the others.

However, she didn’t know how much of a burden her actions had on Shane.

Connor and Freya, who had been eating with their heads lowered, looked up at Shane when they heard the argument between Qahira and Shane. Freya turned to smile at Connor without saying a word.

Previously, Sandra had praised Shane in every possible way with an indescribable pride on her face, but now, they were arguing like this over a bottle of red wine.

Sandra was really a little too materialistic.

“Ma’am, if you really want to drink red wine, I’ll bring you to a French winery to drink when there’s a chance in the future, okay?” Shane hesitated and whispered to Sandra.

“Shane, look at what you’re saying. It’s as if we’re going to take advantage of you. Isn’t it just a bottle of red wine? I can pay for it,” Sandra said disdainfully, then turned to the waiter and said, “Now, bring the rest of us to the wine cellar to take a look!”

“Ma’am, the cheapest wine in the wine warehouse costs 500,000 dollars. Are you sure you want to go over?” the waitress could not help but remind her.

After hearing this, Sandra froze in place.

“Sandra, why don’t you just forget about it? We’re all here by car today, just drink some juice. We have to drive later!”

Sean knew the financial situation of Sandra’s family. It would be tough for her to fork out 50, 000 dollars, let alone 500,000.

So Sean hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over.

“That’s right, we all drove here today and can’t drink alcohol. Waiter, please serve us some juice!”

After Sandra heard this, she took the hint, turned her head, and said to the waitress.

“Fine… Alright!”

The waitress helplessly nodded and then turned around to leave the room.

After the waiter left, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little awkward.

Qahira and Sandra, who had been beaming with joy just now, were completely honest this time. They no longer praised Shane or took the initiative to talk to him.

Meanwhile, Shane kept his head down as he ate. He knew that what he had done just now was equivalent to ruining his chance to sleep with Qahira, but he didn’t regret it.

Everyone fell silent. Connor and Freya had some peace. The two of them chatted occasionally, and Connor helped Freya with her food. The two of them looked much closer than Qahira and Shane.

Soon, ten minutes had passed.

Just as Connor thought the meal would end peacefully today, a person’s appearance again broke the silence in the private room.

“Creak!”

The door of the private room was suddenly pushed open.

Titus walked into the room with a tray. There was a bottle of red wine on the tray.

When Connor saw Titus come in, he immediately felt anxious. He cursed silently, ‘Titus, I’m almost done with my meal.. Why did you have to come in now?’
