INSTA MILLIONAIRE

Chapter 16: (Table Number Eight)

"Darling, where are we going?" Cathy asked. The more she looked at Billy, the more attractive he seemed to become.

"Wait and see." Billy smiled. Keeping one hand on the steering wheel, he placed his other hand on her thigh and started rubbing gently.

He was popular with the girls, so dating him made Cathy look cool. If he made a move on her, would she stop him?

She glanced at his hand on her thigh, but she said nothing.

Finally, they stopped in front of a restaurant.

"Wow, the Chez Laurent! Honey, is this where we're eating?" Her eyes widened in disbelief.

Chez Laurent was one of the top restaurants in New York.

"Surprised? Come on, let's go in. I made a reservation," he said with a smile. He had paid a lot of money for a table here, much more than he could afford. The restaurant was far too expensive for students, but it was worth it to make Cathy so happy.

She took his arm, and they walked into the restaurant.

As soon as they stepped inside, a young waiter walked over to greet them. "Hello, welcome to Chez Laurent. Um... Do you have a reservation?" He blushed as he spoke and then gave them an embarrassed smile. "I'm sorry. This is only my first day, and I'm still learning the ropes."

"It's fine," Billy said. "I have a reservation under Wilde."

"Ah, Mr Wilde. You're at table eight. Please follow me," the waiter said, leading the way to their table.

Looking around, Billy and Cathy were more than satisfied with their surroundings.

"Oh, this is lovely," Cathy said. "Just what you'd expect from such an upmarket restaurant. I've never eaten anywhere so nice."

The restaurant was very romantic with a lot of open space, comfortable chairs, crystal chandeliers, luxurious tablecloths, and candles on every table.

Just as they sat down, a small group of musicians came over to their table, playing the accordion and a violin, while someone else sang.

Everyone was watching their table with envious expressions, and Cathy felt like a princess.

"Thank you so much, darling. This is wonderful," she said, remembering how Alex had only taken her to the cheapest places. Thank goodness she had ditched him.

She took out her phone and began recording herself. "Come on, baby, get into the shot with me."

They filmed themselves, making sure everyone could see the restaurant behind them. Billy posted the video and tagged his friends, specifically mentioning where they were.

Within minutes, people began to reply.

"Cathy, you're eating at Chez Laurent! That's amazing!" one person said.

Someone else said, "I'm so jealous. No one has ever taken me there."

"Oh, you are being spoiled," said a third person.

The comments made Cathy's heart swell with pride and confirmed that she'd been right to get rid of Alex. If she'd stayed with him, then she'd never have been able to eat at Chez Laurent.

When Alex saw the video of Cathy and Billy kissing, he felt a little upset. But mostly, he felt sorry for Cathy because she didn't know what she was getting into.

He knew exactly what kind of person Billy was, and yet she chose to be with him. What a stupid decision.

Billy drove a Volkswagen Passat, while Alex had a Ferrari.
