Orion Crest, Series_1

Chapter 94: Too much love for money

　　While walking in the direction of the hotel, Orion kept thinking about the question just now on the road, puzzled.

　　As he thought about it, he got hungry.

　　Taking out his mobile phone, he checked the time and saw that there was still some time left before dinner, so he turned around and walked into a street-side rib shop.

　　After ordering a set meal, Orion took out his $19 in change and put it on the counter, then found a seat.

　　It was said that meat was cheap in America, but he had a feeling that it wasn't much cheaper.

　　Just as he was thinking so, a somewhat skinny waiter, carrying a plate as wide as a basin, placed it on his table with a little effort.

　　Seeing the contents of the plate, Orion's eyebrows twitched.

　　Good lord, he thought the ribeye here was the kind he'd seen in restaurants with a single rib, but to his surprise, there was an entire ribeye on the plate! Plus a one-pound baked potato sprinkled with butter and sour cream, as well as a bowl of Mexican red bean stew and a mysterious bisque with cream added ......

　　When you look at it that way, it does seem like a pretty cheap price for meat.

　　However, it was clearly not a portion that one person could finish ......

　　He finally realised why there were so many fat people in America.

　　"Sir, may I ask if the food is still satisfactory to you?"

　　Hearing someone ask, Orion suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to have tipped yet. But just at this moment, he suddenly discovered that this waiter ......

　　seemed to look familiar?

　　Orion handed the tip into her hand and asked suspiciously, "You are working part-time here?"

　　"Hmm." Vera nodded shyly.

　　"No scholarship?"

　　Orion used to do a part-time job for tuition and living expenses things, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

　　But what surprised him was that he remembered that scholarships in the US were good to apply for, especially such IMO gold medallists.

　　Vera obviously didn't expect to run into Orion here either, smiled shyly and whispered, "Scholarships are available ......"

　　If it was to save money for travelling, or to work part-time to experience life, it would definitely be said in a big way.

　　Seeing that she didn't continue, Orion could probably guess that it was mostly for similar reasons as his own in the first place, and sidetracked the heavy topic.

　　"Are you a Russian?"

　　Vera's expression was a little subtle, and she shook her head.

　　Seeing her slightly embarrassed expression, Orion always felt ......, It seems like he had asked a question that he shouldn't have asked even more?

　　Just then, someone in the back kitchen called out her name.

　　When Vera heard her name, she quickly turned around and answered, bowed in a small voice and said sorry to Orion, then hurriedly ran back.

　　From the little girl's reaction, Orion could probably guess what was going on.

　　Sighing softly, he cut off a piece of grilled ribeye and stuffed it into his mouth.
