Upon hearing the words, everyone looked at Bianca. Her expression turned serious, and after a moment, she focused on the waiter and said, “I’ll take care of it.”

The waiter replied, “Alright. Your total comes to one thousand. Will that be cash or card?”

Seeing the chill in her gaze, they tried to negotiate, “Bianca, you know our families aren’t rich.”
