The smile vanished from the waitress’ face instantly. Her tone turned sour as she looked displeased and said, “Miss, do you have enough money to pay? If not, you can ask your friend to help you settle the bill.”
“I don’t have any…” She didn’t have anything on her, not even her phone.
Her little face looked worried. What should she do?
The waitress’ expression frosted over. “So were you planning to dine and dash?”
“That, I…”
Mo Xiaomeng was about to say that she was staying in this hotel, but to her surprise, the waitress suddenly shouted to someone, “Manager, someone over here was planning to dine and dash!”
The other diner’s gazes turned towards her instantly.
Mo Xiaomeng felt so distressed!
Suddenly, she turned so anxious that she didn’t know what to do anymore. She hurriedly explained, “I wasn’t planning to dine and dash; I merely have no money on me!”
The waitress chuckled coldly. “Isn’t having no money to pay a sign of dining and dashing?”
Mo Xiaomeng froze.
Eh?
That sounded right!
Wasn’t it a dine and dash if she ate but didn’t pay up?
She was unable to rebut this, and she stood there on the spot, stunned.
The manager brought a few people over swiftly. They stood around Mo Xiaomeng, surrounding her petite figure.
Under the circumstances, Mo Xiaomeng felt like she was being judged and was flooded by an oppressive feeling.
The male waiters were shocked by Mo Xiaomeng’s beauty, and their fierce demeanor softened instantly.
The manager, whose expression had been icy, changed instantly when he saw Mo Xiaomeng’s face. He smiled as he asked, “Miss, is there a problem? Why were you trying to dine and dash?”
“I wasn’t deliberately trying to dine and dash; my bag was stolen…” Mo Xiaomeng explained, drooping her head.
She had never encountered such a situation before and didn’t know what to do, and she could only look around her helplessly.
The manager said, “Miss, if you really…”
Just then, a man walked over and interrupted the manager. He looked towards Mo Xiaomeng and said, “She’s my girlfriend. Let me help her foot the bill.”
The grabbed the bill over as he spoke, and seeing the amount on it, pulled out three large notes from his wallet and gave it to the waitress.
The waitress had not expected anyone to step forward to help her and looked a little annoyed.
Even though the manager looked a little reluctant, he still told the man, “Thank you, sir.”
Suddenly, the man looped an arm over Mo Xiaomeng’s shoulders and smiled. “Let’s go.”
Mo Xiaomeng felt a little uncomfortable and tried to get out of his grasp. “About that… thank you for your help. However, can you please let go of me? I’m not used to being so close with male strangers…”
The man smiled and said, “What nonsense are you sprouting? I’m your boyfriend, how can I be a stranger?”
Mo Xiaomeng’s eyes widened. She asked, puzzled, “Boyfriend? You’re not my boyfriend!”
She thought that he had only pretended that she was his girlfriend so as to get her out of her difficult situation.
However, it turned out that he had an ulterior motive?
“Alright baby, stop being angry; can we make up and stop fighting?” the man cajoled and moved over as if he was going to kiss Mo Xiaomeng’s face.
Mo Xiaomeng jumped in fright and used her arms to distance herself from him. She raised her voice as she said, “What are you doing? I don’t know you!”
“Baby, can you stop your nonsense?” the man said on purpose.
