Chapter 800 Pests

Even the other diners were shocked when they heard the words from Alex's mouth. What kind of place does he think this is? This is Arthur's Tavern! This isn't some small eatery that humble folks go to. It'll cost rasily one million to book out the entire restaurant! This young man is willing to fork out so much money just to get rid of those two annoying people?

His generosity impressed everyone present.

Some, however, suspected that he was just joking, because no one would resort to such means to chase away unwanted company.

Clara covered her mouth and sniggered. She looked Alex up and down and was sure that he was dressed in cheap clothing from head to toe. How can such an ordinary person spend one million just to chase us out of the restaurant? It's probably just his own wishful thinking!

Shawn did not even bother to hide his amusement. He laughed heartily for a while before saying, "I've seen many men putting on an act to impress a woman, but never in the way you're doing it. Country bumpkin, I reckon you don't know what kind of place this is? This is Arthur's Tavern. If you want to book out the entire place, it's going to cost you at least one million. Do you have that kind of money?" Even the waitress was looking at Alex in disbelief. The restaurant was frequented by patrons who were wealthy and well-dressed. The way Alex was dressed certainly did not fit the mold of their usual clientele. Moreover, the waitress knew that their table was booked by his beautiful female companion. For all she knew, he might not even be able to foot the bill for his own meal.

Alex was not affected by Shawn and Clara's mocking. He only repeated his request to the waitress, "I'd like to book out the entire restaurant right now. Please get these two people out of here." Hearing the determination in his voice, the waitress could do nothing else but to ask directly, "Sir, are you sure you'd like to book out the whole restaurant? The total charge will be eight hundred and sixty thousand."

Eight hundred and sixty thousand. Even though it was lower than the one million that everyone had expected, it was still a staggering figure. It was probably enough to scare a poor man speechless. Everyone turned to look at Alex, expecting him to be so caught by surprise that he would wet his pants.

However, that did not happen. Instead, Alex put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a bank card before handing it to the waitress. "My personal identification number is a string of six zeros. Can you take care of this for me? Just make sure you get those two irritating pests out of here," Alex instructed in a neutral tone.

There were gasps all around when Alex took out his card. No one expected him to be serious. Is he really shelling out such a big sum of money just to get those two people out of here?

Instantly, the waitress took the card and began processing his booking.

The one who was most shaken to the core was probably Clara, who had thought of Alex as a rather good-looking but penniless guy.

She could not fathom how he could afford to splash out almost one million just like that. His generosity was unmatched even by Shawn.

"This is impossible. You're just trying to fool everyone, aren't you? How can a penniless guy like you shell out one million just like that?" Clara asked in disbelief.

When it came to loquacious people like Clara, Alex could never be bothered to entertain them. It was the same now, just as it was when they were on the plane. Feeling slighted again, Clara found herself overcome with anger. He had completely ignored what she said. Was she really such a worthless person in his eyes? Before Clara could speak another word, the security guard had begun walking toward her.

"Sir, Madam, this gentleman here has booked out our entire restaurant. We will refund you the booking fee for your table. Please kindly take your leave," he said pointedly to Shawn and Clara. Now that the security guard had been activated to evict them, they had no choice but to leave. Glaring fiercely at Alex, they made their way out of the restaurant.
