Not Your Doormat Anymore novel Chapter 79

"Is that so? I'll wait for him then."

I looked up calmly. After all, I had wealthy parents too. When the restaurant manager saw how composed I was, he didn't try to persuade me any further. Instead, he served the dishes politely.

Despite everything that happened, the meal turned out to be quite pleasant. However, by the time we started eating, the other diners had already left because of what had happened, making it feel like we had reserved the entire restaurant.
