Jonah began to quickly calculate the potential cost of the dinner.
Even if he ordered the cheaper dishes and none of the alcohol for this meal, it would cost 40 or 50 thousand to feed all of them.
If he ordered wine, that would be even worse.
The cheapest bottle of wine on this menu was at least 30 thousand.
And if he ordered the signature dishes, it would cost 200 or 300 thousand!
All of a sudden, Jonah felt his blood pressure rising and he couldn’t figure out the deal with the Cunningham family.
Wasn’t he told that they couldn’t even afford plain toast?
How was it that they could afford meals worth hundreds of thousands now?
Unfortunately, what he didn’t know was that the restaurant he came to was Eastcliff’s most high-end restaurant.
The Shanghai Nights restaurant was second only to the Times Hotel.
Of the people who visited this restaurant, multi-millionaires were the poorest clients.
The majority of this establishment’s clients were figures with a net worth of billions; to them, a meal costing a few hundred thousand was nothing.
Yet, to people like Jonah, a meal costing that much was simply too extravagant.
After all, he was only a white-collar worker. It wasn’t like he owned a multinational company.
By now, he was regretting bringing them to such a high-end place for dinner and bragging that he would treat them to dinner.
Really, he brought this on himself!
Wide-eyed, Minerva flipped through the menu. She was finally beginning to understand why her father had hesitated.
As she read through it, she felt cold sweat run down her back.
How much was this meal going to cost?
If only she had allowed Matthew to take charge. Then, they would have been able to eat for free then!
As the seconds ticked by, she stared at the menu, unable to place an order.
Frowning, Tate asked his sister, “Are you going to place an order or not? Let me do it if you aren’t.”
Thus, he snatched the menu over but it wasn’t long before he became as dumbstruck as her.
As everyone else stared at them, Demi sniggered under her breath and commented, “Do hurry up! I’m ravenous after the long journey here. I thought you said we should order one of every signature dish. I imagine that should be enough for all of us! Shall I just get to it, then?”
