Alaric Faulkner curled his lips coldly, "You seem pretty good at calculations."
Looking at Alaric’s visibly darkened expression, Eleanor Sterling wasn’t scared at all.
She glanced at Alaric and mocked, "Of course, wouldn’t President Faulkner be planning to eat without paying?"
She was certain he wouldn’t use his reputation to skip the bill, so Eleanor acted boldly.
Alaric glanced at the confident Eleanor and said softly, "Two million is fine, please have Miss Sterling deliver the invoice to The Faulkner Group for reimbursement tomorrow."
Seeing Eleanor’s reaction, Alaric curled his lips and said meaningfully, "Were you just making up a price? Did Miss Sterling think money is that easy to cheat out of?"
Eleanor was furious, what does he mean by easy to cheat!
"Fine, I’ll definitely send the invoice tomorrow." Eleanor gritted her teeth, refusing to believe her cooking skills weren’t worth that much.
Alaric coolly added, "The Faulkner Group will have someone verify the authenticity of the invoice, hoping there won’t be any forgeries."
Darn, Eleanor was even more displeased.
"President Faulkner, you’re too stingy."
Alaric was indifferent to Eleanor’s complaint and lazily leaned back.
"Is there a problem?"
"No!" Eleanor answered sulkily.
Looks like she needed to get an invoice to deal with Alaric, quite a miscalculation.
Eleanor was so upset she didn’t want to see Alaric and Caleb Faulkner anymore, she started to ask them to leave.
"It’s late, you’ve eaten, you can go now, maybe Faye Sterling is still waiting for you."
Mentioning Faye, Caleb’s face immediately fell, "She wouldn’t wait for me."
Alaric also replied coldly, "She has no time to wait."
Today, with The Sterling Family’s birthday banquet causing such a scene, Faye would probably be handling her own matters, not having time for them.
Moreover, he didn’t quite want to see Faye right now either.
Seeing the identical expressions of father and son showing obvious disdain for Faye, Eleanor couldn’t help but laugh.
One must admit, Faye Sterling was quite a failure as a person.
Her son didn’t like her, and even the man showed disgust, no wonder she erupted upon seeing her with Alaric.
"Even if Faye isn’t waiting for you, you should leave. Rumor will spread if a single mother’s house suddenly has a man and a child."
Eleanor was speechless; naturally, no one would dare with Alaric, but it was different for her.
At this moment, Estelle Sterling suddenly tugged on Eleanor’s arm; Eleanor glared at him, "What? I’m discussing serious matters, go play elsewhere."
Estelle beckoned at Eleanor, signaling her to come over.
The two moved to a corner, and Estelle spoke, "Sister Eleanor, weren’t you going to extort money from Hades Faulkner? If you let him stay overnight, you can charge another accommodation fee."
A flicker of light appeared in Eleanor’s eyes, but then she frowned, "No way!"
This place was too small, just two rooms. Caleb could squeeze into one with Estelle, but would she really let Alaric stay in the same room with her?
That would be a joke. Googlᴇ search novel-fire.net
Estelle seemed to notice Eleanor’s concerns and pointed to the sofa, "Let him sleep on the sofa then."
That sounded feasible; if he disliked it, he could just leave with Caleb, which would suit her perfectly.
