Fred felt choked and struggled to find the right words, so he awkwardly laughed and pretended to take a sip of wine, trying to conceal his unease. It became apparent that Lina was fiercely protective of her husband, making it challenging to obtain any useful information from her at the moment.

Putting down his wine glass, Fred felt the heat in the restaurant. The temperature was unexpectedly high, and it made him sweat after just a few sips of wine.

Moreover, not even a single dish had been served so far. There was only a bottle of wine on the table and nothing else!

Fred furrowed his brows. This was supposed to be Best Level, which was renowned for its quality of service and cuisine!

He pressed the call button, but it seemed like the server had vanished into thin air. None of them had come, even after a long wait. Fred felt extremely embarrassed. He had invited someone to a meal and ended up being left alone. He had never felt so humiliated in his life!

“Well, maybe it’s crowded today, and the place’s understaffed!” Fred could only come up with such an excuse to save face.

Lina showed no mercy and said, “Crowded? Mr. Grist, you cleared the whole place, and it’s just the two of us in the restaurant today!”
