Chapter 164 Probably Went to New York
Chapter 164 Probably Went to New York
Angie Chen couldn't believe the price Susan said, but there was no menu on the table to check.When I wanted to ask Eddie, I found that the senior didn't know where to go.
With a fork in his left hand and a knife in his right hand, he stared at the piece of chicken breast in front of him, "My God, $18.95! The 20 yuan I have on me is only enough to eat this dish. Spend so much money just to eat such a piece of chicken?? "
With the official main course, Angie forgot the appetizer just eaten.Colleen ordered everyone a $9.5 margarita and an $11.50 raw oyster shell before serving the main course.And the table-garnish fish tacos, $12.95 on the menu.
According to this calculation, today's lunch will cost Angie a one-off $52.9.If she had to pay the bill herself, she would definitely feel distressed and not want to go to class for more than two weeks.
That's money spent on top of not intending to tip Eddie, though.However, she has to pay a 15% tip, in other words, $7.9.Anji has to give money to seniors for no reason, and Anji doesn't have the psychological ability to bear this kind of consumption.
After about four and 10 minutes, the evocative and delicious "luxury" lunch came to an end.Angie stared at the last piece of leftover chicken breast, and said to Susan, "I can't eat it anymore."
"You say you can't eat such delicious chicken breast? It seems that you haven't been in America for long." Susan wiped her lips with a tablecloth and said.
"I know, chicken breast is the most delicious thing in your opinion. But..." Angie showed a distressed expression.
"Forget it, I will taste these things later when I have time. Do you want dessert now?" Susan asked as if she hadn't had enough.
"No, no, no more. Just give me a glass of orange juice." Angie wanted to use the drink to smooth the food down to her stomach.
After Julie explained a few words to Eddie, vanilla bean creme brulee was placed in front of the three, while a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice was placed in front of Angie.Eddie smiled at Angie when he put down the orange juice without squinting his eyes or hands.
After Susan glanced at the two men playfully, she calmly said to Angie, "Is your Prince Charming fascinated? Don't forget, he is reminding you that you should pay a tip."
"No problem. So how much should I pay?"
"Uh... 15%, it's like $9 or so, and I mean everyone."
Anji didn't dare to say anything, and silently calculated how much 9 dollars would be converted into RMB.Two seconds later, he opened his eyes wide and said to Susan, "God, do I have to tip him so much? If it were in China, it would be almost half a month's worth of my phone bill."
"Hehe, are there so many? Well, don't worry, as long as Colleen is around, you'll be fine."
Angie didn't see any surprise on Colleen's face when Eddie brought the bill to her.She only saw Colleen write a few strokes on the bill, and then took out a credit card and put it on the bill.
"Susan, the two of us have other things to do in the afternoon. Uh...you can send Angie back, okay?" Colleen explained the itinerary to Susan as she walked towards the door of the restaurant.
"Hehe, no problem."
Julie smiled and said to Angie, "I'm sorry, this lunch may not be to your liking. If there is a chance, let's go to Orange Street to eat Chinese food, do you like it?"
"Okay, thank you. Oh, thank you again for Colleen's hospitality!" Angie turned her face and said politely to Colleen.
When she walked out of the restaurant, when Angie wanted to look for Eddie again, she only saw the senior in the distance gestured to her to talk on the phone.Julie saw all this and said, "Want to say goodbye to your friend? Hehe, go ahead."
"But, I don't know the way back? What if..." Anji whispered.
"I'm sure your friend must know him. But you have to wait until he gets off work." Julie said.
"Forget it, I'll take Susan's car back to school first. See you later."
The four parted happily in the parking lot and got into two cars respectively.Angie pulled on her seat belt and stared enviously at Colleen's car, "Susan, do you know where she's going?"
"What? Uh...don't know, I think they're going to New York?!"
Angie couldn't believe it and asked, "You said they were going to New York? By car??"
Colleen drove Julie away from the restaurant first.Susan turned on the radio leisurely, and said while driving on the road, "Yes! Take Route 95 along the coastline, from here to New York at most about an hour and a half."
"So fast? I thought..." Angie didn't expect that going to New York from school could be so fast.
"Why do you still think? Hehe, really want to go to Long Island, New York on a yacht?"
Angie leaned on the car seat, raised her head and squinted at the blue sky, "Before I came to the United States, I didn't even dare to think about these things. But now... everything seems to be possible."
Susan casually drove the car onto the Ellagrasso Avenue near the restaurant, and she planned to take Angie on a cruise.Listening to country music, she said with a smile, "Hehe, cute little girl. Remember the person we discussed when we first came to the restaurant?"
Angie looked at the scenery on both sides of the road, "Uh...remember. I still remember you said that there will be unexpected benefits!?"
"I was joking with you. If you want to get benefits, you must pay a price. This person is also from the law school." Susan paused, and did not immediately name her.
"Er... also from your law school? I think this person must be so attractive that you can't bear to say his name."
"No! I admit he's attractive. Let me tell you, his name is Brandon Balfour, a third-year student, and his father is a senator."
"Brandon? Father is a senator? Sorry, I really don't know who this person is." Angie smiled and said honestly.For her, such things as Congress and a senator's son sounded like they really had nothing to do with her.
Susan smiled and didn't say anything else, but Angie was so curious that she asked about another matter, "By the way, how much did you spend for lunch today? I think I will return the money to Colleen when I have a chance in the future."
"Hmm, that's right. You can learn the distinction between public and private quickly. Are you...ready to pay back the money?"
When the convertible drove to a place called Peace Garden, Angie thought her words sounded strange and asked, "What do you mean? Am I going to not be able to pay the money back?"
"No no no, you misunderstood. I mean, the amount of money will make you miserable for days."
"Okay, I'm ready. Tell me." Angie replied calmly.
"I estimate that your personal meal expenses are about 64.2 US dollars." Susan said calmly after calculating silently.
In an instant, Angie opened her mouth wide and couldn't utter a word, "My God, what did I eat? How did I spend so much money? What should I do? Where can I get this money and give it back to you?" Colleen?"
After being silent for a long time, he murmured, "Susan, then... how many of you?"
Susan replied, "Uh... including you, and the tip to your friend, Colleen probably paid about $350. Of course, I included the one dollar tip your friend gave earlier .”
