Kallum smoothly and called over the boss. Maintaining his composure, he inquired, "Is it possible to pay with a card here?"

He produced a sleek black gold card, which caused the corners of the boss' mouth to twitch, skepticism evident in his expression. These two look like decent people, yet they're planning to dine and dash?

He straightened his back and raised his voice. "I'm sorry, but our establishment is small and we don't have the facilities to accept card payments."

Kallum's irritation flared at the doubtful look from the boss. He quickly suggested, "Then I'll settle the bill with my watch." His watch was clearly an expensive piece, signaling his willingness to resolve the matter honorably.

Before he could proceed, Calista intervened, removing a pearl hair clip from her hair and offering it to the boss. "I apologize for the oversight, I rushed out this morning and forgot to bring any money. Would it be possible to use this hair clip as payment?"

The lady boss' eyes lit up at the sight of the elegant hair clip. The craftsmanship was exquisite, and the pearls glowed with a lustrous sheen. Clearly recognizing its value, she quickly agreed, her laughter ringing out, "Absolutely, this is more than sufficient! I've never seen such beautiful jewelry before!"

Reluctant to part with the hair clip, which clearly meant something to Calista, Kallum was visibly uncomfortable with the transaction.
