"Really? As long as you like it." Tom glanced at himself in the mirror. He was indeed quite energetic,
much better than his image just now.
Roger was overwhelmed with jealousy when he saw how much Phoebe and Tom loved each other.
The salesman came over and asked, "Sir, this one suits you very well. Would you like to try something
else?"
"No, I'll take this one." Tom nodded.
The salesperson was overjoyed and said quickly, "Then please pay at the front desk."
"Okay." Tom walked to the front desk and reached for his pocket. Then he suddenly remembered that
he had dropped his phone and didn't bring his wallet. It was a little awkward.
He coughed twice and said to Phoebe, "Phoebe, well, I forgot to bring money..."
Phoebe was stunned and rolled her eyes at Tom. She didn't think much and took out her phone to pay
for Tom.
She knew Tom's background. A suit worth more than a hundred thousand dollars was not even a dime
to Tom. However, others didn't think so.
Then Roger sneered. "Mr. Howard, aren't you the chairman of the ZQ Media? Why can't you even take
out a hundred thousand dollars for clothes?"
The others around them laughed too.
"That's right. A big boss like the chairman of the ZQ Media can't even take out a hundred thousand
dollars. He still needs his wife to pay for it. Tsk tsk."
"Is he fake? Hahaha..."
In their opinion, Tom's silence was tacit consent.
They were throwing cold water on Tom endlessly. Phoebe was a little angry. She darkened her face
and said, "That's enough! First of all, my husband is indeed the chairman of ZQ Media. If you don't
believe me, you can investigate on your own. Secondly, even if my husband isn't the chairman of the
ZQ Media, do you guys have to keep acting weird?!"
Ever since Phoebe became the chairman of the SK Lighting, her aura has increased a lot. Now that
she lost her temper in an overwhelming way, they immediately stopped laughing at Tom.
However, they still looked at Tom with disdain, thinking that Tom was not a big boss at all, let alone the
chairman of the ZQ Media. The lie was just made up of Phoebe's vanity.
Phoebe was furious and wanted to say more when Tom held her hand and shook his head slightly,
indicating that she could just ignore these people.
Phoebe nodded obediently and then paid the bill.
Roger rolled his eyes and said, "Mr. Howard, we have an appointment with Miss Scott to go to Alice
Restaurant for dinner. You're here too. We'll go together later."
Before Tom could speak, Phoebe immediately shook her head and said, "No, we don't like western
food."
A female friend of Phoebe said, "Phoebe, that's not what you said just now. Besides, Clarissa is going
to Alice Restaurant to sing tonight. Aren't you a fan of Clarissa? Why don't you go?"
Phoebe actually wanted to go, but she didn't like these people.
Tom also saw that Phoebe wanted to go. He smiled and said, "Okay, then let's go together."
Roger's eyes lit up. Without waiting for Phoebe to speak, he immediately clapped his hands and said,
"Mr. Howard is straightforward enough. That's it! Let's go to Alice Restaurant for dinner later. It just so
happens that the big star Clarissa will go and sing. And Mr. Howard, as the chairman of the ZQ Media,
you must know Clarissa, right?"
Roger narrowed his eyes and said in a strange tone. He didn't think that Tom would know Clarissa. So
he was just teasing Tom.
Phoebe's face darkened at the moment. She was becoming more and more displeased with Roger as
she could not stand Tom being mocked.
However, Tom just smiled and nodded, "Okay."
Roger saw that Tom was lying, so he said playfully, "Mr. Howard, do you mean that you really know
Clarissa? It's not Clarissa who plays the sketch, but the big star Clarissa who sings, acts, and has all
kinds of various skills."
Tom looked at him with disdain, "So which Clarissa do you think I'm talking about?"
Roger choked on Tom's words and felt very embarrassed. He wanted to refute, but for a moment, he
couldn't think of anything to refute, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable. Finally, he could only
snort coldly and wait to see Tom being laughed at later.
Coming out of the clothing store, Phoebe found a chance to speak and said worriedly, "Tom, how did
you agree to him? Don't you see that they are mocking you?"
"Really? Why didn't I notice?" Tom said in surprise deliberately.
Phoebe was furious. Just as she was about to explain to Tom, she immediately saw the smile on Tom's
face. She could tell that Tom was teasing her, so she pinched Tom and said coquettishly, "Naughty."
Tom was stunned by her coquettish and flirtatious look and said sincerely, "Phoebe, you're so
beautiful."
When Phoebe heard his praise, she smiled even more. Many people around were stunned by her as
she was so striking.
Alice Restaurant, a high-class restaurant in H City, was rarely open to ordinary people. If one wanted to
come in for dinner, he had to pass the invitation of a member. Moreover, it cost tens of thousands of
dollars to eat here for a meal.
In order to advertise, promote the brand, Alice Restaurant especially spent a lot of money to invite the
big star Clarissa to sing.
Tom had heard of Alice Restaurant. Before, there were many big shots in the industry who invited him
over for dinner, but he refused. He was really not interested in western food.
The group went to Alice Restaurant, and the other two female friends of Phoebe immediately became Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
excited. They took out their cell phones to take photos and made posts on WhatsApp to show off.
For them, coming to Alice Restaurant for dinner was something worth showing off.
Tom took a look at it and had to admit that this western restaurant was fantastic, looking noble and
luxurious everywhere. Obviously, ordinary people really couldn't afford to come here. Most importantly,
this western restaurant was only available to people with membership invitations. The restaurant did so
in order to establish a brand.
After Roger came in, he straightened his back, and said proudly, "Friends, I know Alice Restaurant's
boss. You can treat this place as your own home. Don't be polite. Eat whatever you want."
After saying that, he deliberately glanced at Phoebe. Clearly, he was showing off.
After the two female friends of Phoebe heard this, their eyes glowed. They held hands and said in
admiration, "Wow, Mr. Shear, you're so great that you even know Alice Restaurant's boss."
"That's right. Mr. Shear is indeed from the upper class. He is at a higher level from us."
Another man couldn't help but flatter him. "Mr. Shear, since you know the boss of Alice Restaurant, I
wonder if you can give us a membership too?"
When Roger heard their flattery, he smiled brightly and said proudly. He said confidently, "No problem.
It's easy to me."
Then he said to Tom, "Mr. Howard, what about you? Do you want me to give you a membership too?"
