Camila frowned and said, “I bet he will find an excuse to go to the bathroom when it’s time to pay the bill.”

This had happened a few times before. Every time the waiter brought the bill, either he was on a phone call or had gone to the bathroom, so to avoid embarrassment, her mom would always end up paying. Later, her uncle would pretend to be surprised, saying, “Oh, you’ve paid already?” He never mentioned splitting the bill or transferring money.
