“Look at her suggestions—they’re so professional.”

Professional?

Me, the rightful heir of a major restaurant group, who had hired a Michelin team at great cost to design this place, needed advice from an amateur food blogger?

Just because she’d written a few restaurant reviews and gained a couple hundred thousand followers, she thought she was some kind of culinary goddess?

I pushed the flimsy paper back toward her.

“The dinner: 1.28 million.”

Rachel’s smile froze on her face.

Eric’s brows furrowed.

“Sophia, what kind of joke is this?”

“What did we even eat that would cost so much?”

“Not much.”

I spoke slowly, my gaze sweeping over the dishes barely touched on the table.

“Mainly because of one bottle of wine.”

I snapped my fingers. The waiter understood instantly and brought over an empty bottle along with the receipt.

“An ’82 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. Market price: 1.2 million.”

“Our restaurant is membership-only, and you’re my friend.”

“I gave you a discount—let’s call it an even million.”

“Add in the food and the 10% service fee.”

“That’s 1.28 million total. I even rounded down for you.”

Rachel’s face went pale.

She shot up to her feet, her voice shrill.
