Maya Mitchell’s eyes became slightly colder; however, as Ruby Gregory entered the café, she blinked lightly, and the coldness in her eyes disappeared, replaced by a gentle glow.
Maya stood up gracefully and called out to Ruby, who was looking around: “Ruby.”
As Ruby turned her head, Maya smiled warmly and waved enthusiastically at her.
Ruby walked elegantly to Maya and sat down opposite her. After waiting for Maya to sit down as well, she smiled and asked, “Have you been waiting long?”
Smiling, Maya pushed the menu to Ruby and shook her head: “No, I just arrived not long ago.”
Pausing for a moment, Maya said, “Ruby, see what you’d like to eat.”
Instead of opening the menu, Ruby pushed it back to Maya: “Maya, you choose what you like. I’m treating you today.”
“I invited you out, so there’s no reason for you to pay…” Before Maya could finish her refusal, Ruby smiled and intercepted her, speaking with an undeniably firm tone, “I’ve been meaning to thank you for what happened at the Red Park Resort & Villas, but I haven’t had the chance. You can’t argue with me today! Besides, it’s not much money; it’s all the same, isn’t it?”
Maya didn’t entangle herself with Ruby over the matter of who should pay, and neatly opened the menu.
Ruby calmly extended her hand and pressed the service bell.
The waiter walked over with a smile, “Ladies, what would you like to order?”
Maya looked at the menu for a while, then pointed at it and ordered a cappuccino, a vanilla cake and then looked up, smiling at Ruby: “Ruby, what would you like to eat?”
Ruby took the menu, glanced at the dishes, and saw that the café mostly offered the same few afternoon teas. Uninterested, she closed the menu and told the waiter, “I’ll have the same as her…”
Just as Ruby was about to hand the menu to the waiter, she caught a glimpse of the café’s name and hesitated. Then she changed her order, “Change mine to the Summer Tea Set.”
The waiter was taken aback, “I’m sorry, Miss, but that set is not available to the public. It’s the owner’s private menu, only available to Platinum VIP Customers.”
Only then did Ruby suddenly seem to remember something. She took her wallet out of her bag and pulled out a card: “Is it this card?”
The waiter glanced at it, then nodded, his attitude becoming much more respectful: “Yes, Miss.”
The waiter took Ruby’s VIP Card, registered the VIP number on a tablet, and asked Ruby for confirmation: “Miss, could you please report the name on this card?”
“Steve Burton.”
Maya, who was sitting opposite Ruby, looked slightly startled.
Ruby, however, smiled charmingly and turned her head to look at Maya: “Maya, do you want to change to the set I ordered? It’s their owner’s private menu, and many people haven’t had a chance to taste it.”
