One Meal, Half a Million DebtChapter 1
My restaurant had just opened, and my best friend was coming to show her support.
I even brought my fiancé along to have dinner and chat with her.
When we finished, I was just about to say “It’s on the house,” when she pulled a piece of paper from her Hermès bag and slid it across the table with elegance.
“Sweetheart, time to settle the bill.”
“What bill? I’m treating you!”
She wagged her finger.
“No, it’s you who should be paying me.”
I looked down at the paper and nearly choked on my water.

“Rachel’s right, it makes sense.”
“Give us a discount, how about 500,000?”
So they finally stopped pretending?
I laughed.
“No problem.”
“But before the transfer, let’s settle this dinner first.”
I looked at the check in front of me, then raised my eyes to Rachel and Eric.
Eric stood behind her, one hand resting casually on the back of her chair.
“Sophia, Rachel’s only trying to help our restaurant.”
