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.

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!
